Check list for the release

UPDATE: Every scripting news will be announced in the news section due to the fact that everyone will be able to comment on the updates.

I have for almost one year scripted this server. For the most of the time I have just added my own new cool systems. But right now I'm trying to fix all small buggs and grammar errors that came with GUPS. I have made this check list of everything that needs to be done to release it. Write a reply if you want to suggest something for the list. (keep in mind that the released script = a script where there are no grammar errors, no mayor complains and no scripting errors).

Please note that this list will be updated.

FURTHER UPDATES ON THE SERVER WILL BE DONE HERE: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

This list is also updated with new things (which isn't announced) and sometimes things are being marked as completed (which will be in a patch update eventually)

Okay guys I think I've solved the login bugg. If you are one of the 1000 of people that has registered before this post, You have to login in one time to fix it. So if you auto login use /c logout and /c login again and you should never experience the incorrect password bugg again. If you have trouble logging in for the first time since this post, just type /q and login in over and over again until you get in. Hopefully it will be the last time you have to rejoin to login.

!cash and !spree can no be used on other players too. Like !spree andri will show andriusas current spree and top spree. !cash andri will show andriusas cash.

I have updated the list of some new minor bugs I've found. Right now I have two big essays to finish, two math test, some math assignment to turn in + maybe another test in swedish, so don't expect me to finish the checklist any time soon. I can however say this, It will be finished at summer, I will have a lot of time then to work on the check list. Many things on this list is not hard to fix and doesn't take a lot of time. I will of course have time to finish some things on the list before the summer, but I don't think i will finish all of them until I get more time.

Please note: That if suggest something for the list in a reply on this topic. Your suggestion will receive an answer and then it will be removed.

I've edited the skin names and added some colors on the names.

A repair command has been added. You can now type !fix to repair your vehicle.

Since I've been busy with school works this week, I decided to to clear some of the things on the checklist.

Unbanip: A new command called /c unbanip has been added. Level 8-9 can use it to unban IPs and level 10-5000 can also use it to unban subnets.

Warns: Your warns are now reset if you get kicked for having too many warns or if you exit.

eject: !eject can now only be used while your in a vehicle.

Givecash: Givecash no longer shows the invalid amount received/sent from you to another player.

Ping kicker: I've now removed the auto kill and replaced it with an auto kick due to some bugs.

Team kill kicker: Killing a team member now gets you kicked unless you and the person you kill are in the free for all team (team white)

Fixed commands: !buycar, !proploc and !buyprop have had some minor bug, that I've fixed. The bugs are: If you type something random into !buycar or !buyprop like: "!buycar angel's car" you previously became the owner of this non existing car.
In !proploc you got teleported to golf court if you typed in something random (which is now also fixed).

I have added the new report system.

This is the commands and how they work.

/c report [Player] [Reason]: It creates a new file or overwrites an old report, with this information: Status, Reported by, reported of, and the reason. It also sends a message to all admins saying: A new report has been received.

/c reports: Shows all the active reports (reports that hasn't been dealt with)

/c rget [Report ID]: Gives you the information created in /c report.

/c rmark [ID] [1/0]: This command marks a report as inactive or active. If a report is marked as Inactive it will not show up in /c reports and will eventually be overwritten.
btw 0 = inactive and 1 = active, don't worry there is a message that tells you that if you type in the wrong stuff.

The instant kill on entering the fighting zone has been replaced with a teleport.

The spree system has been improved a little.

/c transferstats: Level 8+ admins can now use /c transferstats <Account file> <New name>

Remember to always use the full name.

Please note: that you need to sell your cars and properties before you do the stats transfer. It takes time to include this in the script.

!getcar: YOu shouldn't be able to use !eject or exit your vehicle before you are teleported to your location. You still need to use !eject sometimes, Will be fixed soon.

I normally do not allow people to post here, But I will keep your post res.

do not reply to this message.

As you all know !getcar had some problems when you used it to get a car (but not when you used it to get a bike) that made the car spin like crazy so you had to use !flip to break your car. That problem is now fixed by simply ejecting the player one sec before the car teleport and then teleport him to the vehicle. As you all have experienced with the speed hack system, ping might affect this so if any high pingers still can't use !getcar without the car spinning, report it to me through a pm or in-game, and I will just increase the teleport time with a few sec.

I just wanted to add this: WE GOT THE FIRST working !getcar in a pawn server haha . If I can now just get a setweather command, I think Chuck Might promote me to Head owner .

I have replaced the old spam kicker that kicks everyone for writing 5 messages in 5 sec, with a new one. The new spam kicker, kicks you if you repeat your first word 5 times. If someone types:
Angel rocks
Angel sucks
Angel mocks
Angel knox
Angel is so freaking good haha.

They will get kicked for spamming (because he/she repeated his first word angel 5 times). This spam kicker does of course not work for all types of spam, but it prevents the spams that can possibly cause a server crash.

Remember that we don't know for sure if this spam kicker works until we have tested it for at least one month.

Credit to NE.Restricted for providing the basic code that I then modified

We got some new commands:

/c unfreezeall (level 6+)
/c freezeall (level 6+)
/c disarmall (level 7+)
/c kickall (level 9+)

Thanks to andri for suggesting them.

Turn the page for more updates!

As you may have know I've told you guys like 3 times that I've fixed a bug about the login system. But there was still one bug left that razor discovered. When razor joins the server he doesn't get auto logged in because his IP isn't static, It means that he has to login using /c login. Razor doesn't always login the minute he connects, that is why he sometimes get an error saying: Invalid password.

I now know what is causing this. When someone joins after you've connected and before you've logged in, the script thinks that the account file with your password is the password of the player who connected. Which leads to that the script compares what you entered in /c login with the password of the player who connected and returns a message saying wrong password. This little script error was caused because the GUPS scripters thought that they can use the same Format for when a player connects and when a player logs in.

I've fixed this problem by simply changing format and I have tested. If Anyone is having trouble logging in, tell me immediately and my monitor will find the problem.

DO NOT REPLY TO THIS

Announcement
If you got any suggestions on a bug/error in the script that needs to be fixed/improved before the release please post it here. Remember to not post grammatical and/or spelling errors here since there already is a topic for that.

If you're a high level admin and feel like we are missing commands for handling the server (without me or access to the hosting files/scriptfiles), please post your suggestion here too. Remember that your reply will be deleted when I've seen it, and you will receive a PM were I tell you whether or not I added it to the checklist or not.

New checklist
I moved some of the things on the checklist to a new one right below the previous one.  The things I move was in my opinion not required for the release. For those of you that don't know, the new checklist is for version 2 of the script.

Resetstats
This fix is not so important for most of you, but resetstats now resets your headshot stat and your duel statistic and much more. What It doesn't reset however is the top spree, your cash and of course your owned properties/vehicles.

This is my 2nd update today, so don't forget to check the previous post.

You can now only have max 2 vehicles unless you haven't bought an upgrade (that isn't scripted yet). I understand that there are admins that got more than 2 vehicles, the admins that got more than 2 vehicles have to either buy the upgrade from me or sell one vehicle. If you got like 3 vehicles or even more, contact me ingame and I will let you know what the upgrade cost.

The reason why I scripted this was because I don't want 1 player that has 9 vehicles while 90 % of the players have no vehicle.

I've spent about a week scripting this system, It is extremely complicated to script, but the master did it .

Basically what I scripted is a function that returns how many days an owner of a vehicle has been inactive from the server. I used this function to create a system that if a player enters a vehicle whose owner has not joined the server for 30 days or more than 30 days then the owner will be removed + get his money back for the vehicle. I've tested this as much as I can with different dates and all that and it works. But we have to wait to wait at least 1 year to be 100 % sure and maybe see how years with 29 days in feb affects the script.

I also made a command for checking the inactivity of the vehicle owner. The syntax is: !vehinactivity <Vehicle ID>.

I have also decided that since we are making a remove vehicle owner by command, that we don't need this script or the one with the max amount for properties. Since the amount of properties is only like 20.

I would also like to add that scripting the function for vehicleinactivity is going to decrease the time it takes to make a temp-ban command with about 75 %.

Check list update: We got about 2 commands left to add and 2 commands to fix and then we just need to get ready to release the server.

Edit: The command for removing vehicle owners are soon done. For the next Update I hope I will get this command done + the temp-ban command.

I have scripted a command called /c tempban <player> <Year> <Month> <Day> <Hour> It bans player for date + hour you enter. So if I wanna ban a guy for 3 days I do !time and check what date and add 3 days to it and enter it with /C tempban

You will get more help in-game when you enter something but remember that year month and day is not the amount of year/month/day you want to ban someone it is the date when they will be unbanned like: 2013 Oct 26. It is better that you learn the command by trying it, I have added a lot of exceptions so that everything you enter that is wrong will show up. But remember that if you enter an invalid player nothing happens, so make sure you enter a valid player name.

Level 6 and higher will be able to use this command. But level 6-7 should only temp-ban for 1-7 days max.

........

Unbanip has been updated to remove tempbans too, but level 6-7 can not use it.

----

I have also added a command for removing vehicles called /c removevehowner it is for level 8+

----

At last I just wanted to say that 2 things.
1. I made tempban a level 6 command because I thought it would fit because level 4 has kick, 8 has ban and level 10 has subnetban and now level 6 has tempban. So for every two level you get access to a new command for managing the server.

2. The server release = when the server can run without the hoster having to do things in the scriptfiles + when the server is stable + When no commands are bugged or has a grammatical/spelling error in it. I think we are there at the moment so we will see if the server will get released in a couple of weeks.

First of all:

To res: I know you've been scripting the server and are hosting it and all so I made a list of changes a made so you can update your version after it. I will send it to you when I got the time. If I haven't sent it for 1 week after this post just remind me.

Transfer stats

We had some problems with transfer stats (or some things to add) they were:

[1]It didn't transfer your shared and owned cars
[2] you guys always registered your new account so I couldn't transfer it with the command
[3] It didn't transfer properties

problem number 1 is fixed and I added so that transfer stats remove the account you transfer it to (If an account with the same name already existed. This means that everyone has to be careful so they don't remove any accounts. This is a level 10 account so I think it wont be a problem.

About number 3 I don't think it is required at the moment and wont be added.

as for now transfer stats is finished.

The spam kicker: There was a problem that it kicked everyone at least once for spamming when the server was turned on. This problem has been fixed.

FURTHER UPDATES ON THE SERVER WILL BE DONE HERE: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
