Progress Update

Progress is coming along extremely smoothly on Global RP. So far the only thing left I have to do is fix the alien player models, which has turned out to be tougher than I had hoped, but just as tough as I expected.

As far as the code goes, i've practically cleaned house. I've done things that were way overdue, and squashed a gigantic monster bug in the process of getting adv dup to work. Heres the list of things I accomplished since the last post:

[+] Made global chat the default chat (local chat can be accessed with /)
[+] Added chat command !help which lists available chat commands
[+] Significantly reduced required downloadable content for clients without the Global RP content addon

[-] Removed sniper rifle due to excess bugs

[!] Fixed Advanced Duplicator (as well as potential bugs with other stools and weapons)
[!] Fixed chat commands

Which leaves us with the final changelog of:
-----Version 2.6-----
[+] Added a cost to common stools (see data/GlobalRP/stools.txt for customization)
[+] When selling things players now get half the money back
[+] Player's money is now set to 0 during war mode (but reset during free mode, you will not lose your money)
[+] Made global chat the default chat (local chat can be accessed with /)
[+] Added chat command !help which lists available chat commands
[+] Global RP now logs Global RP events in ulx logs (if ulx is installed)
[+] Significantly reduced required downloadable content for clients without the Global RP content addon

[-] Disabled grp_moneyrest by default
[-] Removed sniper rifle due to excess bugs

[!] Minor bug fixes
[!] Improved ease of installation
[!] Fixed use for dedicated servers
[!] Fixed human animations
[!] Fixed alien animations
[!] Fixed Advanced Duplicator (as well as potential bugs with other stools and weapons)
[!] Fixed chat commands

[!] This version does not support SB3. SB3 support will be added upon its offical release.

Version 2.6 will be released sometime in the next few days.

Question:

MattyK sent me a PM yesterday:

Hey RingDing, staring at your not-very-updated blog is like staring at an
uncleaned blackboard.Think you could ressurect the OP in the releases Section
for GRP, so that way we can get the posts, comments and bugs rolling in evenly.



To answer your question and anybody else out there who has the same question:

I will do so when I have content to release. At this point I haven't finished the gamemode yet, but when I do, I have every intention of releasing it here as well as there.

Dedicated Server Update

Dark_Moo changed server hosts not too long ago. Here is the new dedicated server:


Also, dedicated servers are not cheap, so, if you'd like to help out, heres your opportunity!






Any support would be GREATLY appreicated (and will probably make you an admin, depending on how much you donate =D)
