If you are on laggy connection it'll show and it's SirMandrake's server not mine. There were some issue of why he didn't upgrade...

[Letylove49]

ok

[Letylove49]

thanks to Spongebob for having supportedthe 112N version of Nexgen for all these years.

No problem

So regarding a possible 1.13 release, here is some stuff I have in mind:

Nexgen113:

Already done:

• Fixed the formatCmdArg bug of NexgenExtendedClientControllers (http://www.unrealadmin.org/forums/showt ... hp?t=31280)
• Fixed a possible infinite loop in the replace function (viewtopic.php?t=12056)
• Fixed the F2 server info not being displayed
• Fixed NexgenHUD not resetting Canvas.bCenter (results in invalid text offset, e.g. for server info of MonsterHunt2Gold)
• Make NexgenHUD scale with v469 Font Scaling
• Add hook for plugins to suppress messages to the NexgenHUD (allows for fixing HUD incompatibility with MH and possible other gametypes/mods)
• Make HUD more customizable by the client. This includes:
  • Variable font sizes in chat HUD / other messages
  • Variable amount of lines in the chat HUD / other messages
  • Configurable color schemes

TODO:

• Add TO support (i.e. disable certain features in case of TO gametype)
• Fix Pure detection as implemented in NexgenExtensions
• Toggleable server name control
• Add a proper API for other mods (independent of the Nexgen package!) - this can include:
  • Retrieve Nexgen ID of a player
  • Forward to broadcastMsg and showMsg for proper color-coded messages
  • Subscribe to Nexgen events
• ...

Revoked / outsourced to possible plugins:

• Classify other messages such that somes can be hidden / moved by plugins (e.g. death messages)
• Maybe rewrite some parts of the initialization replication using the NexgenExtendedClientControllers (similar to what NexgenABM did for the ban data) e.g. for accounts
• Add some functionality for server-side only plugins

NexgenPlus101 TODO:

• Add the chat log tab
• Add option for colored multi kill messages
• Readd add/remove bot panel

-----------


@Lety: Regarding your suggestions which I did not mention above:

• I don't see a real reason to ban by computername; this is just as unreliable as Name/IP/ID
• ServerAutoBan function for w message Hack - what exactly is that?
• Increasing array sizes can be considered

@All: Please report any known bugs of Nexgen112 and/or feature requests!

[Letylove49]

ServerAutoBan function for w message Hack - what exactly is that?

A protection against expoloit that could crash the server .

i can send to you the cod by private message

I don't see a real reason to ban by computername; this is just as unreliable as Name/IP/ID

ok in this case don't put it on Nexgen113.

Know Issue:
With Custum F page the text is
the text is shifted to the right or with some mutator does not display at all.

another sugesstion i would like to have the colored mutilkill message like in the center on hud. like in URS version

[Sp0ngeb0b]

I'll check the exploit protection, not sure though if this should be included in Nexgen if it is not a Nexgen specific exploit

Know Issue:
With Custum F page the text is
the text is shifted to the right or with some mutator does not display at all.

I guess you are refering to the server info (F2) not being displayed? Good reminder, that definitely needs to be adressed and it is just a 1 line-fix. I'll keep updating the above list.

another sugesstion i would like to have the colored mutilkill message like in the center on hud. like in URS version

I guess this is a good addition for NexgenPlus (beside the chat log tab)

i will post a screenshot of this bug

if you want to reproduct it go to MHA server

Server info F menu is another bug and you need nexgenextension for fix it.

[Sp0ngeb0b]

Cheers, fixed that.

[RocketJedi]

Hi and thank you kindly for maintaining this great mod! I would like to have intergraded into NexGen is the NexgenS112N_4E.NexgenS which is a stats recovery mod that recovers smart ctf stats this was created by Schlong hof

[Sp0ngeb0b]

I'm planning to release an update of SmartCTF (4F) to do some adjustments for the upcoming 469 version; I aim to have a proper stats restoring feature in it using the new generic Nexgen API. So yeah, I got that on the screen

[Chamberly]

The msg hack bug is already covered in XC_Engine.

[Letylove49]

a sugestion

struct MessageInfo { // Structure for storing message information.
var string text[9]; // Message text list.
var int col[9]; // Message text colors.
var float timeStamp; // Time at which the message was received.
};

ithis posible to let the player choose how many ligne he want to be displayed on Nexgen ( A option client-side.) pehaps form 3 to 9. KIllerbee has asked me to set this

var string text[3]; // Message text list.
var int col[3]; // Message text colors.

for the Version 112KB.

[Sp0ngeb0b]

Definitely, I have that planned as part of the player customization of the HUD

[Letylove49]

NexgenPlus101:
Add the chat log tab
option for colored multi kill messages

Don't forget to add button for add and remove bots Fonctions
