Ok I've patched Swamp to version 2.4 which has a few updates that I had been working on, but mostly this was done to enhance security. There were some people trying to cheat in very small increments to avoid detection, so part of what I've done is monitor those more closely. For a little while I've been aware of people passing around some small programs on mailing lists that help you in Swamp. These do a range of things but the most common one is meant to automatically heal you if you were injured. What some people might not realize is that these separate programs are in fact cheating. I actually think that most people using these programs did not know how they worked so I'm giving these people a chance to stop using them without being banned. Within the next day or two I'll start focusing on tracking anyone still using them, and they'll earn themselves permanent bans. Pass the word around if you know people currently using those. Make sure they realize it will end up getting them banned if they don't stop immediately.
At the moment I don't have the patience to upload the entire huge zip for version 2.4. If you already have version 2.3 then just download this very tiny patch file and you'll be updated to 2.4. www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames/SwampPatch.zip Changes from version 2.3 to 2.4 --------------------------------- - I've added in a new section of code that should automatically kill off any bugged zombies that end up in the Safe zone. This is a backup plan since I'm still working to fix the bugs that cause zombies to get in there in the first place. - I've once again changed code to keep people from using the wrong voices. A typo in this code from the last version kept it from stopping people like it was supposed to. - Added an official chat channel for the Czech language. - Added an official chat channel for the Danish language. - Being healed by another player will only speak the message if you were not already at 100% health. - It turns out that after I fixed the pipe opening beacon on map 2, I forgot to put it into the 2.3 zip file! Whoops! The beacon should be fixed now. - When playing offline practice mode, you are now able to fire weapons within the safe zone. This was something some people were having problems with and wanted changed. - A few unnecessary testing files have been removed. - More security has been put in place. - Some people have been using custom programs to inject their own client messages to the server to help them heal quicker, shoot faster, or even spam reload sounds. This is considered hacking and very soon I will begin permanently banning these individuals. If you are one of these people, this is your one and only chance to stop. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
