Release Information

Update Notes:

Bug Fixes

- Sometimes, after throwing a grenade, players stay stuck in the throwing
motion. This is being fixed.
- Getting stuck on a ladder...being fixed.
- It was possible to change the camera pitch while in-between round menus.
This has been fixed.
- Some players would not revert to the "not ready" state when a round was
restarted. Also when an admin changed some settings in the server options
while a player was set as "ready" the server would reload and everyone
would reset to "not ready" but the checkbox in the GUI would still be
checked. This is fixed.
- The TK penalty box was not displayed if the console (or chat, map, etc)
was open. This should no longer happen. Note that the console should
automatically close.
- Zoom mode became messed up when switching from operative to operative
with zoom on. Zoom mode should no longer get messed up.
- In the "Tab Menu", after a selection has been made (Play/Spectator/Green
Team/Red Team), a player couldn't press Tab to return to the menu screen.
- If a player played a round with CMAGS and then the CMAG were restricted
between two rounds, the player would have kept his CMAGs. This has been
fixed.
- When an administrator crashed, killed his client, or lost connection while
in the server options or kit restriction screens, the pre-round countdown
would stay paused indefinitely. This is now fixed and the countdown should
resume as soon the server detects disconnection.
- When the sound volume is set to zero, the sounds are not played anymore.
This may help speed the game on slower computers if the player is willing
to sacrifice sounds for overall performance.
- Fixed some message pop-up boxes that would either freeze specific menus
or the game as a whole.
- Fixed a few incorrect messages.

General Improvements

- Firing animation, sound and muzzle flash should now be completely
synchronized with trigger pull. Additionally, the network code for firing
bullets has been reworked and less information is now sent for each
bullet fired. This will hopefully result in a performance improvement
in heavy firefights in restricted bandwidth situations.
- We're introducing a spam filter which is configurable in the server.ini
and supports a voting option. The following is a description of the new
variables in the server.ini to configure the spam filter:
+ SpamThreshold (default value = 5): If you use "say" or "teamsay" three
(3) times inside the SpamThreshold period (5 seconds), the chat on your
client will be disabled for a while.
+ ChatLockDuration (default value = 15): Duration of the chat lockdown
if you trigger the SpamThreshold.
+ VoteBroadcastMaxFrequency (default value = 15 seconds): If you vote (to
kick a player) more than once inside the VoteBroadcastMaxFrequency (15
seconds), additional messages won't be sent to the other players to
inform them of your choice.
- We tweaked the silenced weapon damage to hopefully make the silencer a
real option in Raven Shield. Silenced weapons should now do a minimum of
50% of the damage their noisy counterparts do. Additionally, the silenced
SPP pistol should now be even more "silent".
- Drawing tool is now accessible between rounds.
- Players will now automatically switch to their primary weapon when
they've thrown their last grenade.
- Two buttons have been added to change the map order in the "Create Server"
menu. The admin now has the ability to change/add/clear the game password
without needing to restart the server. The commands are:
+ lockserver true newpassword (this will set or change the password to
newpassword).
+ lockserver false (this will clear the password).

Install Notes:

1) Unrar with WinRAR.
2) Copy original exe back into installdir.
3) Run the updater.
4) Copy crack over.
5) And then play
