Client Update Released (May 3)

[maxorator]

Some updates for 04rel004 have been incrementally coming in the last week, but I haven't yet documented them:

• Files ending with _mem.nut or _mem.xml not saved to disk
• Added Script.CompileString() and include() (dofile only once)
• Ability to remove the whole default map by having store/maps/hidevicecity.txt file
• If present store/maps/waterpro.dat is used instead of the default one
• Support for object.dat definitions for custom objects
• Support for custom carcols (store/vehicles/carcols.xml), starting at 100
• Increased the limit of particle generators (nearly exhausted by default) from 70 to 250
• Custom tree (1), traffic light (2) or fire hydrant (4) models (<special value="#num"/>)
• LOD does not have to immediately follow the main object in XML anymore
• Player render distance increased (only Tommy was seen from far away previously)
• Fixed GUI 3D properties not usable because they start with a number (3DSize -> Size3D etc)
• Fixed custom chainsaw sound
• Fixed a crash related to custom object collisions
• Fixed a crash when custom vehicle parts were lying around on disconnect
• Fixed empty files in store crashing the client
• Checkpoint entry/exit works using vehicle/player collisions now instead of distance check
• Support for custom timecyc.dat (goes to store/maps/timecyc.dat)

Just wanted to flood the city, but unfortunately SetWaterLevel function is not working with custom waterpro.dat.
Hope there is something Devs can do about it.

EDIT: @maxorator what can you tell us about this ?

[DizzasTeR]

The onCheckpointExit event still not fixed? for Spheres.

Better custom timecyc

[KAKAN]

I don't know about those DATs thing. Can someone explain it to me?
From what I guess, we can use custom DATs file with the name from the data folder?

Well then. I'm not playing on servers which have _mem with them. This makes me angry! Why cant people friendship and share stuff. Why they have to selfish and use stuff only for themselves
EDIT: to let you know, I'll simply capture the packet and copy paste it. If someone uses _mem, I will capture it and explicitly release it on my forum.

Thanks for the shoutout, banned you.

Then I'll use another PC and release all your files. You'd better unban me.

...Why cant people friendship and share stuff. Why they have to selfish and use stuff only for themselves

It's not about sharing you nab. It's about the fact that it exposes how your server side system works. And if the right person obtains that information then it could be used for malicious stuff. Trolling your server as much as he wants. Not sure if you noticed but everything has a weakness. And for the average VCMP scripter you have to use the plural of that word.

"The right person"...
Well the right person will find a way no matter how hard you try. In fact I was determined and I found the file in dooms server. Also for proof it is:
/script/lobby-mem.nut

Yes but if it's in compiled form then making much sense from it is going to take a lot more work.

Oh, totally forgot about that. Added it to the list and a sample XML too.

@Doom_Kill3R
Checkpoint entry/exit uses vehicle/player collisions now, check if it works for you now.

Use old 04rel004 and it will save to disk.

You don't say, trust me, I would love to see you get your hands on my source. Don't expect me to run server until this is not 100% secure.

:edit: @maxorator I've tried it, onCheckpointEnter works for sphere, but onCheckpointExit doesn't
