- Added Server-side Pascal scripting. Full documentation can be found at http://enesce.com/help/
Where? How? Good documentation. But how do I get the server to interact with the Pascal file?

Look in the scripts folder. Everything in Includes.txt is compiled, and all engine callbacks exist within AdminCore.pas, Core.pas, and NetworkCore.pas. You don't NEED to use those filenames, they are just sorted that way for convenience. However, AFAIK, you can only define a function of the same name once. So if you create SuperAwesome.pas that uses every engine hook, the Includes.txt should only contain one entry: SuperAwesome.pas.

The PASCAL scripting is a great addition, we can now run the scripts 24/7 directly on the server, no need to leave ARSSE/ESA open all the time.
Congrats Enesce, great job man!!

Firstly, what? Be clearer. Secondly, check what gamestyle the server is running under, it's probably running in deathmatch mode. Also check that you've followed all the upgrade instructions, as some changes need to be made to certain files when upgrading. Thirdly, go to the server help section if you need help.

With the number of servers currently running 2.5.2, and the servers that ran beta versions before release, I can guarantee that this isn't a bug but some sort of misconfiguration on your part.
