Artillery announcements are no longer endlessly buffered

Only known cheats are reported to players, and only repeat every 5 minutes

What about /ref's?

If there's a suspect cheat, it would be nice to give the ref a warning so they can stalk said player and decide if it's a new/private cheat or not.

( sorry, but it's a real pain to go test this )

[=FF=im2good4u]

found a bug yeah sorry

/cheaters <player id> gives info on the type of cheat

but /cheater <player id> does the same only it also gives an "unkown command" error (but the command does work)

Hi,

when i use the guids command via rcon, then i get a different guid, then the one in the logfile. Is this the new "etpro" guid ?

Since I am a servern00b (set up my first-ever server only 5 days ago) I am wondering: should I install the bugfixes or are they for testing purposes only? I installed, but a lot of people didn't connect anymore cozz they didn't know why they had to download ET. Currently I degraded to 3.01 (latest version).

Lemme know thx

If you want your server be up to date with newest bugfixes and cheatrecognisattion available then you should use the testbugfixversions and stop caring about people not connecting.

When you float in freecam, you are only able to see what's happening withing a medium range of the player who recored the demo(that is, in the range the demo and thus the player got info about while playing). But it seems to me this range got smaller in every bugfix. I can understand how it would help fight aimbots, but it also takes away some usefullness of the freecam. The client also isn't able to predict as much as it used to. Is this true or is it just mee seeing something that isn't there?

didnt recognized this while watching my demo in freecam ... It's allways the same imo.
And compared to the old RtCW EDV Mod, .. it's the saim amount of info saved in the demos ... so what the client sees in the demo, is what u can see in freecam :>

The determining factor here is the PVS (potentially visiable sectors) data in the map, which doesn't ever change once the map is compiled.

Basically, as part of the map compile phase, the sectors that could potentially be seen from each other sector are calculated and stored--this is what determines what data is sent over the network, and therefore what data is saved in demos (for freecam, etc.)
