Explanations
A little bit more info about the features.
Report handling
We always wanted to have simple way to let admins know about handled reports. This was (and is) a known feature for the mysql module together with the windows client.
This, however, is separate from the handling of reports the windows client does, this is purely in-game and works with all modules. It's just not implemented in all of them yet.
When a client gets reported, this report has a global id attached to it which modules tell you about in their report messages.
When an admin connects to the server and calls the report command with the id as parameter, another message will go out telling that this report was handled.
Currently this is only implemented in the steam module and it is unsure if and when it will be implemented in the ts3 module. We'll keep you updated.
We also added methods and forwards for plugin developers so they can implement the features themselves in their own modules.
Reload commands
Config files (the files in the configs/ folder, not cfg/) are only read once when the plugin starts, you needed to restart the plugin when you changed them.
We made this easier now and added commands to reload them. No more plugin reloading is needed when changes are made to the configs.
Steam module changes
The web api method was introduced a while ago as a more stable method to send messages over the mobile "api" of steam.
The steamworks method usually only works correctly in CS:S and crashes most servers running other games. Hence, the web api is now the default method used.
When there was an error while sending messages, you usually only got 2 error codes and had to ask us what it means, now you get a brief info message along with the code.
The new steamids, sometimes referred to as steam3, are now supported in the configs.
There were errors fetching group members from steam groups, this is now fixed and should be working fine again.
Test plugin
The test plugin is usually used by us to verify if the features work, but we added a feature to it which is useful for others too. Self reports.
They can be very useful to test the plugin without needing anyone to report another one. Just load it, join the server and use the calladmin_test command to report yourself.
Web scripts
All web scripts now contain not just an error code, but an explanation on what happened. This makes it easier to know why the error occurred.
Important information
If you have the updater installed, the plugin and all its modules will update themselves.
While we tried to make this update backward compatible, you should carefully read the changelog and make the needed changes.
If you update a module which works together with a web script (mysql, ts3) please be sure to update both.
The upgrade process is almost the same as installing, please head over to our wiki for information.
Please ask if you have questions or encounter a problem!.
