Here is a list of all the changes (either implemented or going to be implemented) in 2.1.3 since 2.1.2:
General code cleanup (changing a few C runtime calls around, dropping use of certain "unsafe" runtime calls like strcpy, elss risk of buffer overflows etc)
Dropping all use of malloc() and free() switching to using new and delete exclusively
Fix a crash bug to do with one of the sound fixes added to 2.1.x
Removal of all the code in bhs.dll that was also in engine.cpp, now bhs.dll just uses engine.cpp directly (no noticable increase in file size for bhs.dll but it does mean a lot less code duplication Smile

Smile

Added code to the handler that handles new connections to the server.
If the nickname of the new player matches any of the following, the player is denied a connection and a console message listing the IP address of the denied player is displayed:
Nickname length = 0
Nickname length > 20
Nickname = Hostname
Nickname has non-ascii characters (i.e. below ' ' or above '~')
Nickname is all spaces
Nickname matches a name already in use on the server
Fix to the scripts JFW_GrantScore_Powerup and JFW_GrantMoney_Powerup so they actually work now (the bug was that I was giving the money/score to the powerup and not to the player that collected the powerup)
Also, note that gamedata.h is now obsolete, its contents are now part of engine.h. (as of 2.1.3)
So you can delete gamedata.h
A fix to the ICON command to fix a bug MAC reported with it
Further fixes to the AGT (to fix the "fires missiles too much" issue and the "multiple sets of guns" issue, whatever fix is needed for them)
And some new changes to disable certain network interfaces that could be used by a cheater to cheat (e.g. to run a console command on the server from the client or to kill someone from the client), this cheat stuff is done via a modified dll.

There might be other things that I changed that I have forgotten about too Smile

Isn't that all already fixed by SK's BandTest.dll???

yes, but SK's Bandtest.dll isnt part of jonwils scripts.dll Very Happy

Very Happy

When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

OMG SO GOOD.

New Scripts with fixes AND nickname hack fixed, just a file.

Reporting one bug:
I cannot choose f8 - extras with this new scripts. Renegade crashed if I try it.

Also, since this script renegade crashes more often...

But it's a great thing. I love it. Please consider looking into these two problems

EDIT:
Maps load faster now, do they even load FASTER when I use the speeded westwood maps that have been going around? Or doesnt that make any difference?

About the logs that scripts.dll saves, like text that has been typed. Can you please tell me how to disable this? Can you put in the option if it currently does not have it?

Typo fix:

win command says:
0= Nod
1=win

Should be 1= GDI

And at the teams and teams2 command, just place 2= Neutral. It's been discovered anyway, it'd be great if every command was in the list Very Happy

Very Happy

It was already fixed, jonwil just did his thing where he steals SK's code again.

I don't know why BHS tolerates thievery...

I tried with both <my WIP of 2.1.3> and <stock westwood> and I couldnt seem to get the EXTRAS command to crash.
Nor could I get it to do anything either.
What steps should I be taking to get the EXTRAS command to do something?

EDIT:
I made it do what it was supposed to do (now that I know how to activate it)
It isnt crashing here on my end, if it crashes for anyone else, I need the _except.txt for the crash so I can debug it.

Oh and BTW, I did NOT steal SKs code.

Basicly, the standard westwood maps (and standard westwood always.dat/always2.dat) include files called always.dep and <mapname.dep>

The speeded westwood maps (which dont actually make things that much faster) remove the <mapname.dep> files from the map files.

RenAlert doesnt have the dep files in the first place which is why it can load so fast.
What my new code does is to tell the game not to read the dep files at all which gives the fastload effect for everyone (since it doesnt read always.dep or <mapname.dep> anymore)

Quick note:

About the extras, I now know why Renegade 'crashed'. I always use f8, ex, enter to get to extras. But ex now first chooses the exit command. So I have to type ext to get extras.

So what you mean is, I dont need the speeded maps as the scripts does exaclty the same and yet it is 2 mb only? Very Happy

Alright, thanks jonwil. BTW, when will this newer and better version be coming out? Big Ups

Big Ups

EDIT: Wil this antinamehack thing stop people from hacking games that I host? Non-dedicated games, on WOL, the host game button.

Silent Kane, what do you mean by supporting cheaters? Can these scripts be used to cheat? If so, Renguard should read the scripts. And everytime a new scripts is released it should be checked by the renguard team.

Just proving again that you're a retard code who can't do stuff himself. I bet half of "your" bhs.dll is stolen from me and the other half has been made with the help of other people.

And don't forget that you're supporting cheaters with your scripts.dll shit.

Why don't you just get over yourself, ask SK if you can add his DLL into the patch, and credit him for it. Then credit him for the rest of his code you're using while you're at it.

Question, how can it be stolen code if you never release the code to begin with (unless you have and I missed it in one of my absences from the Renegade community)?
