Classic Update - Stability and Increased Modding

Yes yes we all want to see the scripting build out; However, this classic build is the culmination of another few weeks of fixes “when I get time”, working closely with SirSalami, Rayne, Downburst, Arcrave and Strathos. Be sure to chase them around if some variable wasn’t tested enough ;)

This build contains a list of all config variables, something a lot of you have been asking for for a while. It also contains quite a few new variables, including some variables specifically for roleplay/progression servers and one for the DK server (I’m sure you all can guess, if you’ve played it and thought “man I sure do wish those cheaters couldn’t crouch to dodge…”)

• list_of_config_vars.txt added
• fixed stomping being instakill sometimes
• fixed screenshot alpha issues
• some lighting issues fixed
• fixed lose wood while mining gold
• hopefully fixed permbans from console and added appended messages: \rcon \ban griefer -1 “NEVER COME BACK HERE AGAIN”
• fixed able to teamkill by suiciding
• Added knockback_scale to class config
• Allowed banning specific classes at the tent (allowed_at_tent for each class config)
• added knight_reset_timer_on_hit, for Raron who owes his eternal allegiance
• Updated autobalance logic + fixed typo in balance_teams_on_nextmap
• Added collide_when_crouching
• Added stomp_strong_damage, stomp_weak_damage and stomp_vel
• Added builder_hit_damage, knight_jab_damage, knight_slash_damage, map_indestructible and map_bedrock_indestructible
• potential fix for wraiths from nowhere bug in ZF
• fixed new_sacks_on_tent causing issues (removed it)

Build number should be B590
Enjoy

Just fixed an abusable console command, it'll patch as soon as you restart you kag. Thanks to norill for alerting me.

 

Thanks Devs for the new variables and fixes :)

 

Pushing a hotfix now, it should fix your issue with not picking up more bombs JacKD, as well as an issue with new_sacks_on_tent that Strathos picked up.

1) Votekick can't be relied on for something as subtle as the arrow griefing. Its doubly harmful to your team as well because you lose 2 tickets.
2) You've never seen someone get mad because a wild bammboo exploded himself and them because of lag?
3) The bomb will be harmless.

Lets not turn this into another "bombs not exploding each other breaks the fundamental gameplay of kag", shall we?

Cheers for the support guys, hopefully nothing else in need of hotfixing cause I've really got to work on scripting..

 

I'm sad to see the stray bombs go, they were a great feature and one that could easily change the course of gameplay and change who ultimately comes out on top. Perhaps it could be added as a variable or something?

Anywho's, as said above, thanks for the hotfixes ^_^-b

 

It was ultimately the product of a bug, it can be modded in in scripting for those that want it really badly ;) it'll take too long to make a var for it really because theres quite a few code points involved.

balance_teams_on_nextmap variable. Turn it off if you dont want it. We made the list of vars for a reason! Read it! :)

Just pushed another fix to hopefully fix crashing on busy servers, minor change. Thanks to Rayne for the catch.

 

Working on more hotfixes for bombs (not sure exactly why they broke, but they should be fixed) and the team balance thing not being sticky enough (-> people just swapping team back and ruining the whole point of the thing).

As a side effect, people swapped by an admin should not be able to swap back for team_swap_cooldown

 

Could the autoupdate also be broken? I'm having some troubles bringing my server up to date. I restarted it, it seemed to go through the regular update process, but still launches as version 580 and my sever cannot be found in the list of current server (with up to date client)

I've also tried re-downloading the tar file and also tried deleting version.txt ;______;

 

Update compiling now, fixes "cant pickup hearts to full if non-default hp" and the things above.

 

Sounds nice, let's try it.
