I dunno what happened, but when I was playin on JTEK the Airstrip/WF didn't blow up until like 10 min into the game. On all the other maps it blew up when the match started. There was only like 4 people playing and the map was Complex. Not sure if it was fluke or bug.

I don't see why people like sniping so much, Renegade was designed for vehicles.

Sniping is just:
wait...
wait...
wait...
wait...
FIRE
boink
wait...
wait...
move left
wait...
wait...
wait...
wait...
wait...
FIRE
boink

Well, I don't like playing on sniper servers, but this is great for the people who do. It would also be nice if a version of this could be made for AOW servers allowing for more customization.

Those pistols are getting on my nerves..

Emergency build released:
- Positively sure the pistol dropping glitch has been destroyed.
- Fixed a glitch where some 2nd skins of characters were killed no matter
what the server settings were.

Version 1.2.2 is out:

- Implemented a new mode: DropWeapons. If turned on, players will drop their weapons when killed.
- Implemented a new mode: LogInfDeath. If turned on, when a player is killed, data will be written to the renlog file to report the death.
- Made settings dynamic. They will be reloaded before a map is loaded. This will allow host to turn certain settings on and off for certain maps.
- Fixed a bug that was logging when a building was damaged to the FDS window.

Just a question, could you add an option to log the kills to a different file?

Also, has anyone tested what happens with BR .Net on and logging enabled?

Also how is the progress on this script:

http://web.black-cell.net/infonly.txt

I run an inf only server and would really interested in that. Would it be editable to choose what options you want or not? (ie with an .ini file or something)

If enough people want it, I can throw that option in.
Server side bots can use the data as they wish.

Very good, I should have a release for the infantry only server side mod ready by today or tomorrow, hopefully today. Yes, there will be an INI file for it as well. Configuration options are good, after all.

I only ask because currently the ugly output is just thrown in IRC by BR .Net. With a seperate file I could clean it up and make it live output.

Yes, that has been fixed. The WF/Air will now blow at the start of the map, regardless of any scenario.

Sorry for the double post, put wanted to say that I made another build. Since BR.net likes to print it out, I went ahead and changed it to log to infantrylog_(date).txt instead of renlog_(date).txt, as well as a few other changes.

Changes in version 1.2.3:
- Changed the infantry log to infantrylog_(date).txt.
- Fixed a few errors where disabling the mod from the INI file didn't stop all changes.
