Server rentals :: NFOservers.com

* admin.say command implemented
- the output currently looks a bit funky on the game client, like so: Player: [Server]: <text>
but with the next game client it will look like: Server: <text>
* admin.yell to squad has changed (you need to specify both team and squad)
* squad numbering has changed – the “no squad” squad has ID 0, and real squads are 1 and up.
* Autobalance improved, it shuffles people both during and between rounds now, and does a better job
- Currently there is no way to turn it off
* mapList* commands reworked
* banList* commands reworked
* listPlayers command added
* admin.listPlayers command reworked (GUID, kills, deaths, ping and score added)
* Players have non-PB GUIDs now (these are distinct from PB GUIDs)
* onChat event reworked
- now it specifies target player subset as well
- shows text before profanity filtering
- client-originated chat messages starting with “/” make it to the server, and broadcast via onChat, but are not broadcast to other game clients
- use “/!<command>” if you want to be able to send commands to your homemade rcon tools without showing the commands to other players
* player.onAuthenticated added (it’s triggered when a player receives GUID)
* player.onSquadChange, player.onTeamChange implemented
* Couple of crash fixes
* Support for server-side “region” setting (not yet used by the game client)
* Ranked ON forces game-password OFF
* Ranked and PunkBuster settings can only be changed during server startup
* A server is marked as "hardcore" either when Friendly Fire is enabled, or when all the typical hardcore settings (hardcore killcam minimap etc) have been flipped
* exposed number of rounds per maps in maplist.txt, and via the remote admin commands

* Punkbuster is required ON for ranked servers
* Ranked servers cannot be started with a password
* Autobalance message goes to text-chat instead of in the middle of the screen
* Added weapon balance tweaks to a number of weapons – we are eagerly awaiting feedback!

1) SQDM and SQRUSH levels are no longer automatically classified as Hardcore.
The reason why they were classified as such, is that the game's autobalance is inactive in those two gamemodes. This caused the server browser's new hardcore-icon logic to always consider those servers to run in hardcore mode.

2) Favorites handling has been restored.
Some R10 servers made people's favorites' list show the same server in all entries. This is corrected with server R11. Once server R11 has been properly deployed, some people will have to rebuild their favorites list. I don't have any statistics on how many people are affected.

- A real player slot is dedicated to each of the players specified in the reserved slot list, preventing anyone else from using it. This differs from the intended behavior of allowing players with reservations to join and kicking another player.
- Server variables like hardcore mode sometimes are forgotten/ignored during map changes.
- Changing the server name requires a restart (by design).
- Specifying vars.friendlyFire in Startup.txt does not work, and lines after it in that file are are ignored. (We continue to put it in the file now, but at the end.)
