[TheSilencerPL]

Hereby we announce new public release of the silEnT mod: 0.2.0.

 

Below find the list on changes over 0.1.4:

 

• Added: New sound for thrown knife.
• Added: g_dbUserMaxAge server cvar. If this cvar is set, users that are older then then this value are automatically removed from the user database. Default value is 0 which also disables the automated functionality.
• Added: !givexp command. With this command admin can add to an online or an offline player a specific amount of XP to a specific skill.
• Added: !userdelete command. With this command any users except bots can be removed from the database.
• Added: !userban command. A handy online command for banning offline players.
• Added: !userlist command. With this command admin can view all the players that are stored in the database.
• Added: !useredit command. This command can be used to edit any player that has visited the server.
• Added: User database. This holds information of all the users that have visited the server (during the lifetime of the database).
• Added: Quick chat box can be used to give commands.
• Added: New shrubbot flag '?' that will allow speccing admins to see private messages when they are in spec.
• Changed: g_knifeDamage is now g_knifeThrowDamage. Also, the actual damage is no longer randmon.
• Changed: !listplayers is now plain !list.
• Changed: ETPub !userinfo renamed to !finger. In future a new !userinfo command will give different information.
• Reworked: !stats command now shows total and session specific kills and deaths made by Thompson, MP40 and PPSh weapons.
• Reworked: Private message sound is now built in and not configurable. sound file can be overridden though.
• Reworked: If poison sound is enabled, the poison sound is played only to the player who has been poisoned.
• Reworked: !time command shows the clients local time.
• Reworked: To throw knife +attack2 must be used as the command (this is automatically rebound at first use of altfire, so no additional work is needed on the user side)
• Reworked: Knives throwing. Now knives are held while they charge power.
• Reworked: Knifes rotate when thrown.
• Reworked: Knife icon enlarges when +attack2 button is pressed and held (e.g. nade icon pulsates)

Additional note.

 

This release supports Intel Mac clients but in our tests, they weren't able to download the mod pk3. Maps and other stuff get downloaded very well. Therefore, if Mac users have problems downloading the mod pk3, the fix is to manually place the pk3 to the appropriate place.

 

We are looking for what is the reason Macs fail the initial mod download.

Hello,

 

Nice updates to the mod i will be testing it out on the Test Server Great work guyss.

Good job guys. I have only one remark. PPSh weapon looks very poorly. IMO you could replace it with e.g. M97. There are some HQ textures and done scripts for this weapon available.

[MoAZeR]

Yea The weapon ain't as good but they can improve it or change it with a different one.

Recommended server side binary update. This is recommended because it fixes bug in !userinfo command that can crash the server. Omnibots can crash the server in certain conditions. This update should fix the issue.

 

Full list of changes:

* The shrubbot chat speccing flag now includes the fireteam chats.

* Fixed serious server crashing bug from the !userinfo command.

* The !userinfo command now show more valuable information: the personal shrubbot settings (flags, gretting and greeting sound)

* Should help with omnibots crashing problem.

* Minor shrubbot printing bugs.

 

Bugs that were missed:

* The total kills and deaths for offline players is shown wrong. This is fixed in next release.

 

Install the update by replacing the used (Linux or Windows) qagame binary on the server. Nothing else is needed.

 

This update is already included in the package from the first post. To get this update just download the primary package from the first post in this thread.

Also the silent.cfg has been updated to the proper one.
