First of all--to the developers of Delator--great work guys. I really like the interface and functionality. I also like the fact that you can build a mod and have it on the game server without having to be running any secondary software (unless you want to monitor with RconDelator).
I wanted to help you test the new alpha version out, so I decided to go feature by feature. I wanted to test just the "messaging" part first, so I built a mod just for messages and disabled all anti-cheat, map fixes, ect in the Delator mod builder gui.
The Good News: The messaging is awsome--works great. It pops up on the botom of the screen in a slightly shaded text box, text is the perfect size--easy to read without getting in the way of the game or being annoying.
The Bad News: While the Delator custom build pk3 is in the BT maintt folder, some weapons on my server became disabled. I removed all my mods one by one to make sure that it was indeed the Delator and not something else, but the only thing that fixed the problem was remove the "zzzzz-delator.pk3" file. And yes I did make sure that it was the last file on the list. The wapons that became disabled (you could pick them in the game menu, but they would not fire) were the UK Piat rocket launcher, the Axis grenade rifle, and the mines.
I have no idea why a Delator mod just for messaging would do this. Any clues? We all really like Delator and would like to use it. If the developers (or anyone) could shed some light on this (did I do something wrong?) I would appreciate it. Also--if anyone is using Delator 2.0 Beta--does this have any issues--I only used the alpha 3.0 version. If 2.0 Beta is not buggy I would use that until the new version is fixed.
Later,
