Soldat Dedicated Server 2.6.5

[EnEsCe]

The Official Soldat Dedicated Server 2.6.5 is now ready for download.

Primary focus was ofcourse on bugs for this release. Unicode has been fixed in this binary, so I recommend everyone upgrades. There has also been a modification to the structure of the RefreshX remote admin command. All remote admin programs such as ARSSE must be updated to accommodate this change.

Read more @ my blog.

"- Added DownloadMapslist=0 option to server.ini." Can you explain a bit about this option ?

"- Added DownloadMapslist=0 option to server.ini." Can you explain a bit about this option ?

If you have a program that uses the File Download protocol, you can request /mapslist.txt from the server via the Download port (Port + 10). Was a custom request by another server admin.

This does NOT signify any kind of Soldat Client feature.

I also noticed you changed ThreadedUDP to default 1. We keep it that way then ?

[xmRipper]

Ah unicode fixed Thank you very much.

Up to you really, a moderate bug was found with it set to 0. Server drops all ping requests until somebody sends a join request twice. Unable to fix it due to it being a component issue that would need to be fixed by Indy (It is most likely fixed, but newest Indy version is incompatible with the ancient server netcode)

Ah unicode fixed Thank you very much.

I tested it using the alt codes you provided in the Bug Tracker, can you confirm its definitely fixed when typing proper Unicode sentences?

Finally Big Kudos to you, EnEsCe
Found bug, console spams with numbers , but server dont crash.

Can you paste to me the full console output, including the numbers? And if they occur on a certain ingame event etc. It is just debug output I forgot to remove.

It's working perfectly.

When a player changes the weapon, the weapon number is shown in console three times.

[EnEsCe]

Updated Linux/Windows binary.
- Removed the leftover debug output (Numbers)
- Fixed server crash on join game when enabling Survival + Friendly Fire.

Download either patch or full zip, both contain it as of this moment.

"0000277: Deathmatch - Invisible nick in the "F1" list when playing multiplayer"

Oh still not fixed. Is it Client related bug ?

[DorkeyDear]

MD5String was bugged? I've been using it and seemed to be fine afaik.
Nevermind.. I see what was noted on the enesce.com/help page, and the "fix" functions created for it made it not come about very often.

- Added DownloadMapslist=0 option to server.ini.

lol and had a good reason to add it too!

I shall update my home test servers.... tomorrow.

GetPlayerStat(Id, 'WepCount')? Count of total weapons a person has ever picked up? (just a note its not included on the enesce.com/help page; if you get around to it ..)

[n2j3]

Thanks for utf8 and ASE fixes

[scarface09]

Looks good! Also, will that Deathmatch bug be fixed?

[Avarax]

Awesome. Aetherwalk in Hexer now finally seems to work again. Still having trouble with Body Double but I'll see wether that could be caused scriptwise.
Thanks for releasing!

[Irlandec]

... Aetherwalk in Hexer now finally seems to work again...

Sometimes it causes to drop weapon

[Avarax]

No... it's fixed since this was released.

[y0uRd34th]

well done EnEsCe
Didnt think that can fix it so fast

Also this option is useless when server was started with -m parameter. When asked for /mapslist.txt it shouldn't send contents of actual mapslist.txt file, but the currently used list instead.
