Topics

As of now, you can now mention/tag people in your posts, which will cause them to receive a notification about you mentioning them. This should serve as a good tool for replying in threads, as quoting someone's post does not automatically notify them.

If you already posted a request for wiki editorship, note that I'd actually mixed up the wiki settings; read this post instead.

Any user registered on the wiki can become an editor, but a couple of measures are taken to counter spam. A reCAPTCHA is presented on the registration page; make sure scripts are enabled and not blocked in order to register an account on the wiki.

Email confirmation is also required in order to edit, or else you will receive this error:



If you did not specify an email address, you can still log into your wiki account, go to your preferences, and add an email address to receive an email confirmation.



If you haven't received such an email, make sure to check your spam folder first. Gmail will receive the email but may flag it as spam due to it being from an unfamiliar sender.



Marking the email as non-spam will allow you to receive future emails from our mail server, but note that we do not have any mailing lists and do not send unsolicited messages.

Live/Outlook may flag the email as spam or filter it and not send it to your inbox. Allow 10 minutes for the email to be sent; if you still have not received it and it is not in your spam folder, post here to have an account manually created for you with a temporary password, which will be messaged to you on this forum.

[0.4 Release Candidate]

After many successful rounds of private and public beta testing, the VC:MP Development Team is proud to announce the release of the 0.4 Release Candidate.

This is more representative of a final product, and by releasing the server to the public we can collect a significant amount of information regarding bugs and issues that may exist in the server or client. Allowing the community to do whatever they please with the server would be much more productive than simply producing public beta scripts and testing them, as we cannot account for every possible scenario a scripter may want to attempt in 0.4.

Moreover, by releasing the server for scripters to test and develop on, the transition from R2 to 0.4 will be seamless and much smoother, as server owners will more likely be prepared to adopt a completely new version of VC:MP.


Notes on RC Release

Releasing the server as a near-final product for bughunting serves to help scripters become ready for the switch to a final 0.4 release and for bug finding purposes. While this does signal a closer approach to a final release, it is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a polished product we believe should be fully representative of our efforts. Once we feel 0.4 is ready for full release, we will make another announcement and spread the word.

Bug and Crash Reports
Like previous public betas, bugs and crashes can be reported on the forum. However, we also have a new bugtracker at http://bugz.maxorator.com which can be used to report and track bugs in both the server and client as well.

Bug reports filed on the forum will receive responses, but will also be filed on the new bugtracker as well.

Refer to the Reporting Bugs and Crashes thread (linked) for further information and instructions.
