Version 2.8 is posted. This doesn't contain any big game additions but it does address several bugs, toss in a few new features, and lays the ground work for some future stuff.
Changes from version 2.7 to 2.8 --------------------------------- - Corrected a typo in both the Windows32bit.bat and Windows64bit.bat files that prevented them from working. - Added a /Time command because it was requested. - Added /Crates command. - Added the /Report commmand. - Added the /Roll command for gambling a little reputation if you have more than you know what to do with. - Fixed a small bug in the sound panning code. It should be more precise now. - Fixed a bug which would cut the end off of long messages that were still within the maximum message length. - Added an official French chat channel. - Added the new muted list. A file called Muted.txt will appear in your Swamp folder where you can list the names of any players you wish to ignore. If present in that list, any chat or whisper messages from that person will not show up. - Added the /Mute and /Unmute commands. In addition to adding names manually to your muted.txt file, these commands, followed by the player's name, will mute or unmute players instantly. - I think I've fixed the bug where crate sounds were covered up by the fire in warehouse 4. I've lowered the fire sound's priority level so that should make a difference. - If graphics are enabled when the game loads, it will now announce that to you. Many players enable them by accident and don't understand why their games runs slower. This will remind people that they are on. - Fixed a bug that would destroy all of your armor if you had more than 1 of the same item. - I've further adjusted the map checking code, which makes sure people have not altered their map files. - Fixed some code with the person tracker, though it still needs work that I don't have time for yet. - Added a new player list menu. While playing, the multiplayer option on the main menu becomes replaced with the player list. Selecting a player from that list copies their name to your clipboard so that you can easily use whisper, mute, or unmute commands on them. The list will only show you players who are in the same map as you. - Added new code that will eventually alter missions a little bit, as well as go into future missions. - Added a new negative character effect called Bloody clothes. This is in the same family as broken legs and sprained ankles. - I've changed around some code in hopes of strengthening the connections between the server and some players who regularly get disconnected. I have no idea if this will help or make things worse, but it's worth trying I suppose. - Added the /Rock /Paper /Scissors commands, which can be shortened to /R /P or /S. You play against the last person who used the command. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
