Problems and updates...

Posted on 11 Mar 2006 by StealthEye
I have changed the way "hidden" ingame messages (eg. commands like !help and !rules) are shown ingame. I have made them colored gray in the console. Also I have made the commands work in a slightly more logical way: Usually the commands were shown below the command output, but now the command message is above the output.

The commands !suicide, !kill and !killme will now instantly kill you. This is useful for example if you cannot access PTs after rejoining, you got stucked, or having any other problems.

I've worked on harvy blocking. I have 2 methods working, one completely blocks the harvester from moving, one will just stop the harvester from his waypath. This makes the harvy stop but it can be pushed for example. The other method has a few visible glitches, whereas the 2nd method might stop the harvester from working if you block it while it's harvesting.
Also I have not yet got a team commander or anything to get the harvester blocked in a fair way.

I noticed that my !lock conflicted with SSAOW's lock, it would lock the vehicle in 2 ways, send 2 messages, etc. I have therefore disabled my lock command.


Now for the problems: We have been experiancing a few sudden crashes in the server. I have done some debugging but am not yet sure why they occur. I hope to have it fixed ASAP.
