You're welcome

This means that, despite NinjaSpy's ability is set to 2.2 seconds (1 sec is added to the 1.2 sec specified in the config), it actually lasted 11 seconds (2.2 * (1/0.2), where 0.2 is the slo-mo amount). <...>

This is not needed, bacause it was planned as 11 seconds.

UPD. Important!

I suggest add this into event_player_spawn function

	if (CheckRoundState()==1)
		CreateTimer(0.1, CheckAlivePlayers);

It means "Check Alive Players when someone respawns when round in progress". Some servers uses respawns with FF2.

Definitely.

Yeah, I figured that out the hard way when I received 3 billion complaints after 1.0.8 :/. Currently CheckRoundState() returns 1 if it's RoundRunning or Stalemate.

@Eggman: Your fixes for sound_ability and sound_full_rage have been implemented, as well as that CheckAlivePlayers thing. I'm thinking on keeping the 45 degrees thing for 2.0.0. Also, what does UPD mean anyway?

[Donski]

Update maybe?

Hey guys, is FF2 still broken and horrible like it used to be a year ago? I might get back into it if it isn't an incredible hassle like before.

I'm thinking on keeping the 45 degrees thing for 2.0.0.

Please do not do it. It's important to another charge abilities. If you will save this, charge abilties will not work when boss looks up (except brave jump and tp)

Looks like my previous comment didn't go through, so typing it again:
I'm going to change it in 2.0.0, but not 1.10.0 since that might break a few charge abilities.

@Huntereb: There's still some bugs (most notably queue points and invisible clients/weapons right now I think), but other than that, it seems to be fine.

Beta 8!

Changelog:
-Fixed sound_full_rage
-Better SMAC integration (read below)

Thanks to WildCard pointing out a SMAC forward, SMAC integration has been greatly improved. The previous method of getting around the bans was a semi-hacky way of seeing if the SMAC plugin existed and was loaded, then sending server commands to disable checking of 2 cvars by smac_cvars.
The new way waits patiently until SMAC detects a hack and is about to react to it. FF2 "intercepts" the hack info through a forward provided by SMAC and checks to see if it matches one of the 2 cvars that FF2 modifies. FF2 then checks to see if the boss is currently supposed to have a changed cvar through the use of a new flag, FF2FLAG_CHANGECVAR. If all that is true, then FF2 tells SMAC to not ban the player. If FF2FLAG_CHANGECVAR is NOT set, then the boss is banned.

At least, that's how it's supposed to work. I haven't tested it yet.

ff2_enable also appears to have been fixed as of Beta 7. I played a few normal arena rounds without any problem on koth_sawmill, then switched over to cp_dustbowl, where everything worked perfectly. Somebody might want to verify this though.

If everything works perfectly, 1.10.0 will be released sometime next week at the earliest.

IMPORTANT NOTE: FF2 now requires smac.inc and smac_stocks.inc to compile. FF2flags was also moved to freak_fortress_2.inc.
