A new version of the dedicated server is available. This version was made by EnEsCe ([URL]) 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.

here's the download link http://www.soldat.pl/down-s.html

very nice. Thanks to both of you.

YEass the flood ban/kick!

Great Job! Keep Going :)

Very very very nice :)

very nice thanks :=)

f'uck yeah!!

this is awesome, thanks!

woohoo!! great improvements

but this  Quote:- Modified players lose 1 kill for typing /kill or /brutalkill.i can't like, could you make an option to switch it off?

@Thomas: Nope :)
---
Hopefully this new version will increase the use of the All-Seeing Eye, its a superb alternative to the normal lobby, and its always online too :)

goodjob. but how exacly do u use the pm to a certain player??? /pm # blablahblah??

@Chrono: Only admins can PM another player
If your ingame, just press / and then press F1 and the scoreboard will come up, with ID numbers next to player names... then you just type "/pm 2 IM SECRET LOL" (replace 2 with the ID next to the person you want to message)

Great changes! But one thing I wish was completely fixed was the,
'changing teams and the 50/50 chance of getting kicked out or not' -_-

Because that requires the soldat client being updated. Trust me, we did try and fix it.

OH THANK GOD!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Isn't this a bit much to be kicked? Shouldn't it be 6, or 4?

- Added command to send a Private Message to players. (Admin Only)
/pm # Message (Cannot use player names)
What do the players see? A [SERVER MESSAGE]? And can in-game admins do this?

- Modified players lose 1 kill for typing /kill or /brutalkill.
Is this reminiscent of the old Soldat versions?

- Added Team Kill punishment. Enable by changing 'PunishTK=1' in soldat.ini
How are they punished? Because accidental TKs happen all the time.

Thank you for the update though. The are some great improvents here that ARSSE could make use of.

pst, where's the download link?

That's great.

Nice job indeed!
Do I smell a partnership forming?
Although I don't think EnEsCe knows Borland Delphi...

I wonder what the TK punishment is...

He knows Delphi. Delphi is very similar to VB, so even if you dont know it, it's easy to learn.

Great changes! I hope these are implemented on the aussie servers soon.

Also, did you fix the wrong map version when you have WM and cusotm map>?

Nice improvements!

I fast updated ARSSE to handle the new commands and stuff.

I talked to EnEsCe about this; the bug is an issue in both client and server so it won't be fixed until the next client release. The bug has nothing to do with weapon mod servers; it has to do with maps that have less than 4 scenery textures used, as MM said in another topic. Any map can be fixed by modifying it to have, for example, 4 -different-(as in, different filename) crates placed somewhere unimportant.

oooh, TK penalty... Wonder what that is =)

Woot, have to get this for whenever I decide to run a Soldat server again. :D

TK Punishment:
Lets say you set your TK warnings to 5. If a player kills somone twice, nothing happens. Once the player has (# of Warnings / 2), the player will be /kill'ed for every TK he makes and a server message will say 'soandso has been punished for TKing (Warning 3/5)' to that player. Once he reaches 5/5 warnings, he is kicked and banned for 5 minutes.
Its only a basic system.

Could you make commands visible in console log? so if more than one admin is connected, then they could see each other's commands in the console and so on (they even could chat - hope they won't)

Thanks for the loadcon.ini command.

Some other very good improvements as well. good update.

Yes exactly. It needs a client fix. I can't tell when :].

orly?! ;)

*sits on the floor and waits for more news*

*gives MM huge puppy eyes :(*

GJ guys, gj enesce :D

Great stuff now if we can just get a new verison :D

Thanks MM, you replied to a reply of my post, that's the closest I have ever felt to you :/

Please give us some idea, I know you're busy and all.

 Quote: Modified players lose 1 kill for typing /kill or /brutalkill

what about mercy?

Maybe he was merciful and won't take a kill away from you? Remember, /mercy isn't instant, where /*kill is. People often abused this in deathmatch-style games, where they would kill someone in a group of people, then kill themselves so other players wouldn't get kills.

Who came up with this idea? Its genius!

bja888: http://www.soldatforums.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=33502

Think this is the first suggestion I have seen approved. Proof I haven't been around here that long. Regardless, It will help with one of the features I had planned for SolDoc. Now if I can only find the time to get back to work on it....

Here are some more nifty ideas I suggested that have since been implemented...

Player-Specific Server Messages: http://www.soldatforums.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=25713
Vote Poll: http://www.soldatforums.com/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=17107

The vote poll suggestion actually included a screenshot that looked similar to the vote poll we currently have. Be sure to post a plausible suggestion, a reason to implement that suggestion, and a means to get it done. Doing so will vastly increase the chances of something being done. At the very least, you will have a good discussion.

I added the /pm thing cuz I suggested it ages ago to MM but never got done, not cuz of that topic ;)
