Another new release soon, Probably going to roll in the addon pak into the .pk3 file.

also, going to make some fixes to the basic defaultcmds that should probably be looked at.

black bart is currently testing the fixes, there were some issues with timing on the screenshot algo, think its fixed, but has to be tested on a major server.

If anyone here would like to get in on the action of helping beta test (IE test possibly buggy commands being added) and have had little trouble getting MAM installed before, please contact me, there are some things i simply cannot test, things that require a server that can get full sometimes (my little machine hold like 6 people, which doesnt help witha team balance script) anyway, i would also like someone to test some of the new anti cheat stuff.

Also on a critical note, if anyone is reading this, do you use the USE key, when you go near a ladder?

This is kind of important, we have figred out a way to stop people from land sharking, works every time. Unfortunatly it also means you cannot use the use key when going near a ladder ;-(

but you can still climb the ladder by walking up to it and facing up, you just cant hit the use key to go up it.

anyway thats my little bit there,buzz out.

For those of you wondering, there will be a release this weekened, it will also add functinality to the MOHAACI interface as well, the thing is hammer and I have decided to take the mod in a "little" different direction, this way we can update modules as they are made ready. This is to help in our efforts to stop cheating, and specifically aimed at that issue.

We are going to seperate the MAM_Security package from the main MAM package set, and have it still part of the zip, but as its own .pk3 file, in this method we can keep the MAM_Security package, and any updates on a seperate site, most likely invisiblewarriors.com, so you the user will get a default MAM_Security package when you downloaded it off the site, but any updates to the security package would be pointed to from here, but be developed by myself and the creaters of MOHAACI, this will make it so we dont actually have to change, or re-pack the main .pk3 file each time, and this will make upgrades easier, while making the initial install a little bit harder.

But this also means that black bart doesnt have to audit his code as much either, trying to keep up with any changes we make in default commands, he will always be up to date, and this will alow us to juggle files easier as well.

This will require a change in the documentation as well, and hopefully we make a better stab at it.
This weekend I plan on getting it seperated, and remove some of the new compatibility issues, change the tutorial a bit, and then attack an online web page for the documentation, the web page i will do as part of a class project for college (because i decided to take a easy class that had making a web page as part of its curriculum ;_)) anyway hopefully will get it all done this weekened

buzz out.
