Build 345 Released!

This is a big maintenance patch fixing a whole BUNCH of issues. This isn’t still zombies multiplayer patch because that isn’t working yet. Next time, which should be real quick… The good thing is there are some fixes for CTF gold servers so they can use boulders for example.

Most important changes are:

• Added a new server filter called “Beginner”. This will be set as default for new players. It filters everything in the servers browser except small Rapid Team Deathmatch servers which are ideal to get into the game fast and easy without being overwhelmed by CTF.
• Team chat key is [Y] – sorry for the change but we had to make it compatible for OSX. Additionally you can use [T] for regular chat which is a very quick way to access chat [T] / [Y].
• Guards are Green in scoreboard, Global Admins are Purple and RCON admins are Red
• Banning is completely overhauled. Blacklists, whitelists and ban saving to a file should work. Griefers are gonna have a much harder time now.
