Recent updates (late 2019/beginning of 2020)

Haven't posted here in a while, here's what's new.

Recent changes that have been live for a while:
  • Fixed a bug where toptimes records could be set when using endmatch, leading to impossibly fast records being set.
  • Fixed an extremely rare bug (has happened only once) where siege items on some maps (specifically Cargo and Desert) could become untouchable if the server was paused during a 66ms period after the siege item respawned.
  • The server now supports "3D" siege help in Newmod 1.5. If you are running the latest Newmod and enable cg_drawSiegeHelp, and the map supports it, you can see help text floating around in the game world telling you what to do. This requires a special file to be created by the map maker and put on the server. Currently, the only maps that support this are Hoth, Nar, Cargo, and Urban.
  • Mapmakers now have lots of new features for customizing stuff, including damage stats and combining objs for toptimes/speedruns. Keep in mind all the custom stuff should be used sparingly, if at all (especially damage changes). Mapmakers, see here for more info.

New changes:
  • Reduced splash damage boost of skillboost level 3 from +20% to +15%. Reminder that this does not affect mines. Aside from this change, the existing levels 1-3 are untouched.
  • Added two new levels of boost: levels 4 and 5. These are very strong boosts and should only be used for absolute morons, such as people playing siege for the very first time.
  • People who are prevented from selfmaxing (due to being skillboosted and attempting to max themself) will now get a little message telling them why they were prevented from SKing. This is because these people would always try to max themself and then complain that they couldn't SK (because they didn't realize they were blocked because of anti-self max).
