Major Update for 0.4 Released (19 Apr.)

[Stormeus]

This is another update rollup with relatively significant changes. Because some changes alter currently defined behavior, this update bumps the version up to 04rel002.


Server Update Released

• Added -appendname as a command line option for server hosts.
• Added the following plugin calls:
  
  • ToggleWallglitch — enables or disables wallglitching for all players on a server
  • EnabledWallglitch — returns if the setting above has been enabled
  • SetVehicleSiren — enables or disables the siren for a vehicle
  • GetVehicleSiren — returns if a vehicle's siren is on or not
• SetVehicleAlarm and GetVehicleAlarm now handle the status of the car alarm, and not the siren.
• Maximum server name length has increased from 64 to 128 characters.
• Default weather changed from cloudy (1) to partly cloudy (0).

Client Update Released

• Radar blips now appear for unoccupied vehicles around you.
• The client now automatically reconnects to servers every three seconds. The amount of times it does this can be configured with game_reconattempts. Setting this to -1 will reconnect indefinitely. Setting this to 0 disables it altogether.
• Added support for configurable wallglitch settings.
• Car alarms and sirens are no longer tied together.
• Fixed siren sounds playing when a vehicle with its siren on has exploded.
• Clients now report when they bump into objects while driving vehicles.
• Fixed rocket launcher and sniper sounds playing twice when shooting.
• The key for entering vehicles as a passenger is now configurable (game_passengerkey), and takes a value of a numeric key code.
• Fixed spawning with FIRE key, again.
• Fixed people sliding around while shooting or crouching, again.
• Fixed a hole in the downtown shooting range where interior switching would put you in the main world.
• Fixed rockets launching with weird rotations when using the Hunter.

The update will automatically download and install upon joining an up-to-date 0.4 server.

Welcome update ! Let's test you !

@Doom_Killer

To make it more fun it is still useless for me. Because when the object is moving and you bump into it, the event is not triggered, that means it is used only for objects which are not in motion.

Just tested the C-Glitch. DAMN, it looks so good and smooth. This will have a big impact in the gameplay.

* sseebbyy slaps LW server's player database.

Radar blips now appear for unoccupied vehicles around you.

What do you mean by that ? I don't remember to not see the blips of unoccupied vehicles around me...

[Sk]

what about
SetCarDamageProof(bool);
+ when no player is in the Vehicle and it should not get any damage like we had it in 0.3.There should be a toggle for that too.
and don't forget

+ scores in server tab.

SetCarDamageProof(bool);

Both players and vehicles have immunity flags.

There's a new plugin header with a different structure. Obviously the plugins need recompilation.
