New dedicated server (2.5.0)

[Michal Marcinkowski]

A new version of the dedicated server is available. This version was made by EnEsCe (http://www.enesce.com) which is cooperating with me on this. So if you're a server admin grab this version now. Here is the list of changes:

Version 2.4.9 - 2.5.0

{fixed stuff}
- Fixed /kick & /ban command kicking an empty player slot.
- Fixed /unbanlast now unbans IP's banned via /banip aswell.
- Fixed players joining with blank names.
- Fixed gamestat.txt is updated when Server starts.
- Fixed Ban Timers.
- Fixed Server now cleans up when terminated via CTRL+C or any exceptions.

{added stuff}
- Added All-Seeing Eye Compatibility for Linux/Windows servers.
- Added Chat/Command flood protection. Players exceeding 8 Messages/Commands per second are flood kicked.
- Added admin console message for player kills. Change 'EchoKills=1' in Server.ini to Enable.
- Modified /loadcon command to load specific INI files. /loadcon xxx.ini
- Added command to send a Private Message to players. (Admin Only)
/pm # Message (Cannot use player names)
- Added 'MaxAdminConnections' to server.ini.
- Modified players lose 1 kill for typing /kill or /brutalkill.
- Added Global Mute command to mute players from talking completely.
/gmute ID /ungmute ID (Cannot use player names)
- Added Team Kill punishment. Enable by changing 'PunishTK=1' in soldat.ini
- Added map name to 'Map Not Found' console message.
- Added Anti-Hack to detect Mass-Flag cheat. Turn off in Server.ini by changing AntiTeleport=0.
- Added Linux Servers will clean up properly when terminated with TERM(15) or QUIT(3) signals.

As I said in the old forum, glad to see such a new and improved dedicated server. Two questions though:

Doesn't the chat-flood kick seem too weak?
Does the PM appear as a server message for the recipent?

[EnEsCe]

The chat-flood kick is fine, gotta keep clan-wars in consideration.
PM's appear as "[SERVER MESSAGE] (Private Message from #name$) Hey lol, I lol'd"

[Sethamundo]

I like all of the new features, especially the cool pm addition.
However.
While running my dedicated server I noticed that if i tried to change the game to realistic it would crash the server.
You may already be aware of this, or it may just be a problem on my end.
Nevertheless I thought it might be a good idea to say somthing about it.

[EnEsCe]

Its fixed, patch soon.

[ds dude]

My opinion is theres nuttin wrong with it.Its very cool.Keep it up.

[Sethamundo]

Nothing wrong with it?
The features are great but theres bugs man, of course theres somthing wrong with bugs. ^_^

[AThousandDeaths]

I second that, Sethamundo. When I tried to change in-game from realistic to normal it crashed and I had to restart the server from my control panel. So, hope the patch is released soon. Great new features.

I like that /kill-Taunts now reduce ur kills.
That is especially in 1on1s useful.
Though sker can still kill themselves by jumping intoa nade.
It would be nice if every selfkill leads to a reduction of your kill 

[KeFear]

well, i wouldn't like that, fed.eag.o
Or maybe an option...

Anyways, to fix that server crash untill patch is released, make sure you have ASE_Support=0 in your server's  soldat.ini

To make all self-kills take a point away, that would require a whole new version of Sodlat itself and not a new dedicated server.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Sounds Cool but i need to know were i can find my ip before i can use it.  Can anyone Tell me?

Also:
1) don't post questions like that in threads that have nothing to do with it.  There is a server help forum for server help
2) there is a newer version of the server out than this one, so I'm locking it.
