    I've just pushed build 514.
    Its a smallish update, with one main focus: player muting/ignoring.
    Muting and ignoring are the same thing - they stop you seeing what a person is saying - with the difference that muting is server-side (muted players have their chat blocked on the entire server) and ignoring is client-side (ignored players only have their chat blocked for you).
    This will provide a way of dealing with abusive/spammy players without requiring bans.

    More details:
    There are menus for both of muting and ignoring, as well as several new rcon commands.
    This is linked into seclevs - the feature 'mute_immunity' will prevent that player from being muted and 'ignore_immunity' will bypass a player's ignore on that server (so you can stop players ignoring your admins).
    You will receive a message that a player who is muted/ignored is speaking, but this will only play a maximum of once every 60 seconds.
    You can find the file that contains the mutes/ignores in Security/ignorelist.cfg - its the same file whether its server or client. You can change which file you use in Security/securitysetup.cfg (the ignorelist_file variable).

    rcon commands:
    • /listmutes - list the players muted on the server
    • /mute [name] [minutes] - mute the player for the given time (default is 15 mins, use -1 for permanent).
    • /muteid [id] [minutes] - mute the player by id
    • /unmute [name] - unmute the player
    • /unmuteid [id] - unmute the player by id
    The following commands are clientside only (so don't use /rcon):
    • /listignores - list the players you are ignoring
    • /ignore [name] [minutes] - ignore the player for the given time (default is 15 mins, use -1 for permanent).
    • /ignoreid [id] [minutes] - ignore the player by id
    • /unignore [name] - unignore the player
    • /unignoreid [id] - unignore the player by id
    Other changes:
    • Permanban option added to admin menu
    • Autoupdate path is now hardcoded
    • Changing any server browser filter will exit the 'beginner' sort (some people were getting confused why there were so few servers)

    will the administrators and admins still see the muted people?
    maybe add option to mute certain sentences?

    EDIT: DAMNIT! because of the update NOONE with the same build is online atm...

    well, spammers tend to use copypasta.
    if you can block one sentence, you can still see his other posts.
    if he keeps spamming, by using something else, you can mute him completely.
    thats the idea.

    I appreciate mute-immunity. Next, I'd like a way to double the size of everything I say. :p

    my idea to combat this is that every time a sentence/word is used a var increases by 1 after the var hits a certain set number (in the config files) the player will be muted for say 10 seconds

    Quick and friendly reminder to guards that you shouldn't use the ignore function often as you have to actually give a damn when people start saying stupid stuff. Same goes to server admins.

    Have a nice day.

    Thank you so much shad! and all you other devs that shad stills all the glory from:p

    This will come in handy so much you could even use this when making a zombie team2 so they don't chatter!

    Thx :)

    EDIT: imagine how handy this is going to be in Role Play server!!!

    EDIT again: their is some sort of bug with the updater.. if you click the updateing screen, it dissapears but it continues to hash all the files then when it's done it starts up the game and i can see all the servers but none are running, once i exit out and start it back up again (without clicking :P) it updates fine
    just thought i'd let ya know about that one

    Server owners: Don't forget to update your seclevs with mute commands (listmutes, mute, muteide, unmute, unmuteid) and the two new features (mute_immunity & ignore_immunity) as appropriate.
