New Additions
Added an AFK Manager (new immunity flag called
afk)
Translation system has been re-written so that it can use parameters in any sequence.
Database schema has been upgraded to support server groups (plugin will auto upgrade your database when first run)
Commands run from HLSW will now get text responses back from the plugin.
Added team bonuses for CSS internal stats
Added death multiplier for internal stats
Top command now shows full names and allows page scrolling via More/Back options
New commands @session <player name> and @statsme <player name> to show other players statistics who are playing on the server at the time.
Warmup round now support respawn in knife only mode. We tried running respawn for knife mode and unlimited grenades but it lags the server very badly.
Added a new mode for most destructive information based on kills/damage.
Updated default weapon weightings to be in line with hlstatsx defaults.
Added new mode for decay stats where a players points can be fully restored or not.
Re-coded ping kicker to be more efficient.
Updated CSS code to switch players from teams. Players now do not die when this happens and they keep their weapons.
ma_swapteam #ALL will swap an entire side without restarting the game.
Added the mod
Empires to the gametypes.txt file

// *****************************************************************************
// Module : Most Destructive

// Module : Warmup Timer
//
// Desc : Warmup timers are used at the start of a map. A timer can be setup
// that will restart the map after a set amount of time. For something
// like CSS this means late joiners can still start on the pistol round
// and not miss out. For CSS there is a specific cvar to allow only
// knives to be used during this period.

// For CSS only, allow players to respawn when dying in the warmup knife round
// only

// *****************************************************************************
// Module : AFK Manager
//
// Desc : This module can control how to manage players who are AFK. It works
// by tracking keyboard and mouse movements rather than in game player
// positions. The manager can be configured to work using the number
// of rounds that a player is AFK for or by a set number of seconds
// a player can be AFK.
// *****************************************************************************

Language translation changes
If you have a non-english language translation, it will no longer function due to the new translation code.
Normally parameter translations have symbols like %s %i %f etc in them, these have been replaced with %1p %2p etc
The new english.cfg file has a section explaining the new system: -
Code:
// This is the English translation file for the plugin
// If you wish to make your own translation file
// here are some things you should know.
//
// You must make a copy of this file and call
// it whatever your language is i.e
//
// french.cfg
// german.cfg
//
// Format:-
//
// translation_id;format parameters;translation string
//
// The first number is the translation id, you
// must use the same numbers that are supplied
// in the english.cfg file. Do not use your own
// numbers.
//
// The second parameter is for reference only so you have
// a rough idea of what the parameter types are.
//
// Typical format parameters are (C programmers will know these)
// %s (string)
// %i (integer)
// %f (float)
//
//
// The 3rd parameter is the translation string itself.
//
// Embedded in the translation string are %1p %2p etc
// These are the place holders for the dymamic parameters
// that can be used in a string and relate to the 2nd
// format parameters. You can have these parameters in
// any order that you like, you can even repeat the same
// parameter more than once.
//
//
// 01234;%s%s%s;Round the %1p %2p the %3p rascals ran
//
// The plugin will output from this translation string using the code
// Translate(01234,"ragged","rocks","rugged");
//
// 'Round the ragged rocks the rugged rascals ran'
// %1p = ragged, %2p = rocks, %3p = rugged
//
// If I change the translation format to be: -
//
// 01234;%s%s%s;Round the %2p the %3p %1p rascals ran
//
// The output will change to be: -
// 'Round the rocks the rugged ragged rascals ran'
//
// If I change the translation format to be: -
//
// 01234;%s%s%s;Round the %2p the %2p crumbled and smashed
//
// The output will be: -
// 'Round the rocks the rocks crumbled and smashed'
//
// As you can see this allows the possibility of changing the word
// order which is vital to translating to some languages.
//
// A real world example is the following change to one of the victim
// stats translations
//
// The following is an example based on the following translation
//
// 01111;%s%s%c%c%i%i%s%s%.2f%.1f%s;KILLED %1p%2p %3p%4p %5p Dmg, %6p %7p %8p @ %9pm (%10pft)%11p
//
// In the standard english.cfg file this will output something like
//
// 'Killed Mani (HS) >> 126 Dmg, 2 Hits ak47 @ 8m (24.5ft) Head: 2'
//
//
// %1p = Player name,
// %2p = (HS) string,
// %3p & %4p = '>>'
// %5p = Damage player caused
// %6p = Player shots that hit
// %7p = 'Hits or Hit'
// %8p = Weapon name that caused the kill
// %9p = Kill distance in metres
// %10p = Kill distance in feet
// %11p = Concatenated hit group string
//
// Now I can re-arrange the information or just simply
// remove some of it if I want.
//
// 'You killed (HS) player Mani in 2 Hits with 126 damage using an AK47. Hitboxes :- Head : 2'
// %2p %1p %6p %7p %5p %8p %11p
//
// The translation string for this would be: -
// 01111;%s%s%c%c%i%i%s%s%.2f%.1f%s;You killed %2p player %1p in %6p %7p with %5p damage using an %8p. Hitboxes :- %11p
To make life a little easier I have made a small program that will convert a language file pre Beta M to the new format.
You can download it
here
Extract the program, then use a dos shell to run it against your existing translation.
For example I would run
LanguageConverter english.cfg english.new.cfg
This will convert the file english.cfg to english.new.cfg
There are also a few new translations to the file I will list the changes here: -
Code:
// **************************
// Empires Mod team names
// **************************
00922;;Northern Faction
00923;;NF
00924;;Brenodi Empire
00925;;BE
Existing translations that have been changed: -
Code:
01007;%i%i;Rank %1p-%2p by Kills\n
01008;%i%i;Rank %1p-%2p by KD Ratio\n
01009;%i%i;Rank %1p-%2p by K-D\n
01010;%i%i;Rank %1p-%2p by Points\n
01026;%c%i; Points Gained %1p%2p\n
01027;%c%i; Points Lost %1p%2p\n
