Chatbox

• Added an icon on the left hand side of the text entry to indicate the current mode (team/all chat).
  
• Improved readability of settings labels when in front of a bright background.
  
• Settings for the improved chat plugin are now also added to the chatbox settings as a second tab to improve ease of access.

Misc

• Reduced blurriness of icons at 1280x720.

Vote Draw

• Fixed the vote not resetting after a round ends.

Misc

• Added minor performance improvements to various areas.

Reserved Slots

• Altered the disconnect message when a player is rejected due to a reserved spectator slot to make it clearer that the slot was reserved, rather than the server being full.

Vote Shuffle

• Added an option to automatically accept friend group requests from Steam friends (with the default being to accept them).

Misc

• Fixed console table output sometimes being mis-aligned.

Badges

• Added the "BadgeNames" option which allows setting the names displayed when hovering over badges in the scoreboard. See the wiki page[github.com] for details.

Misc

• Fixed a few minor bugs in SGUI.
  
• Added minor performance improvements to the improved chat plugin's chat message display.

• Fixed a few compatibility issues with existing plugins caused by API changes.

Chatbox

• Fixed a rare script error when auto-completing chat commands.
  
• Fixed chat command completions sometimes being invisible.
  
• Fixed the settings scrollbar sometimes being invisible.
  
• Fixed the main scrollbar sometimes having the wrong colour when dragging it.

Map Vote

• Fixed the map vote menu incorrectly stating that only one map may be chosen when multiple choice is enabled and the menu is opened automatically before a client has pressed a key.

Unstuck

• Improved the algorithm for finding a safe position to reduce the number of times unsticking a player fails.
  
• Added the "MovementToleranceDistance" option which controls the maximum distance a player's position is allowed to move from the location they request to be unstuck from. This can help in cases where a player is stuck jittering around a location.

Vote Draw
The "votedraw" plugin is a new plugin that provides a vote to end the current round as a draw. Players on both teams can vote after a configurable time has passed since the round started. This can be used as an alternative to conceding when the game reaches a stalemate and neither team wishes to lose.

For more information see the wiki page[github.com].

Misc

• Improved performance of many hotspots in the code (hook calls, SGUI control events etc.).
  
• Added a system error notification when a plugin fails to load due to a Lua error.
  
• Datatable values are now sent at client connection time, rather than waiting for input.

API

• Various API changes have been made around hooks and SGUI. For details, see the PR on GitHub[github.com].

• Fixed script error when migrating client-side plugin configuration.

Admin Menu

• Added a new "Status" tab, which provides a way to see various system notifications from startup or reloading remote configuration.
  
  • Notifications include:
    
    • JSON syntax errors in the base configuration, plugin configurations or remotely loaded configuration.
      
    • Validation errors in the base, user and plugin configurations.
      
    • Plugins configured to load but not installed.
  • This requires access to "sh_view_system_notifications".
• Fixed various errors when loading/unloading plugins while the admin menu is open.

Improved Chat

• Fixed a rare script error when animations are disabled and a message goes off screen.

Map Vote

• Added an option to use approval voting[en.wikipedia.org] by setting "VotingMode" to "MULTIPLE_CHOICE".
  
  • This allows players to select more than 1 map in a vote. The map with the most votes at the end will win.
    
  • The maximum number of choices a player can make is controlled by the "MaxVoteChoicesPerPlayer" option.

Misc

• Significantly reduced the potential performance impact of JSON parsing when reloading remote configuration during a round by incrementally parsing over multiple server ticks. For large (>1MiB) JSON configuration data, this should prevent the server freezing momentarily which can disrupt gameplay.
  
• Fixed vertical tab panels (e.g. the admin menu and client config menu) not sizing their tab buttons correctly at resolutions > 1920x1080 when expanded.

API

• Absolutely positioned SGUI controls can now use auto-fonts and aspect ratios (as "PreComputeWidth" and "PreComputeHeight" are now called at layout time).
  
• Vote menu pages can now specify a third callback argument to "VoteMenu:AddPage()", which will be called when the page is being switched away. This allows cleaning up non-standard UI elements associated with the page or other such logic.

Badges

• Fixed regression in the previous update that prevented forced badges from being assigned to members of the default group or reconnecting players.

Map Vote

• Fixed the current winning map(s) not being highlighted when opening the map vote menu after votes have been cast.

Misc

• Improved performance of JSON serialisation (most noticeable when saving large configuration files).

Badges

• Improved performance of badge assignment by assigning badges lazily as users connect or to connected users on reload, rather than parsing the entire user data every time it reloads.

Misc

• Improved performance of saving the daily log file after startup.
