blueman, I don't recall getting your PM's (there's none in my inbox currently). If I didn't reply and just deleted it (I don't recall doing this) it was probably because I had nothing to say If there's a problem and I can help, I'll speak up.

You keep talking about custom configurations and setups that are broken with updates, what are these? Again, if they're something great that the whole of the community could benefit from, then please share so it can be added to Assist. But, to be blunt and honest, the default Assist stuff (aside from PB messages, although a lot of clans over-do this) is really good. It's the culmination of the best PB configs there are plus 2 anti-hacking mods that actively check many variables and things the user is doing.

To be fair, a lot of things had to change in this last version, it was a major update for files and security. Future updates should be smaller and a lot more flexible.

I looked at your older posts and it seems like your suggestions/issues were all solved. It's great that you've come here with requests and ideas, you're doing more than the majority of the community.

Here's my method to solve this whole discussion:
blueman, you find a way to properly implement tag protection in your Assist install and ask Jonny nicely with a step-by-step guide on how to implement it and maybe he will do it. You can also ask him for a custom PB config file that can be edited in Assist (much like the edit User.ini option). This way you can add your own PB settings into a separate file that gets loaded by Assist that won't be overwritten with new updates. Finally, forget about a ban list. Chances are slim that there's UScript hackers still around (it's been dead since 2.7 came out). All the old hacks are detected and the old banlists aren't valid due to a new user system. If you find someone is hacking, just post it here and they will go away.

PROBLEM DIFFUSED

It's not all about ping. Bad packet loss or high jitter means that your ping could jump higher without visibly raising. For example, if you have packet loss and the packets you're sending get lost, you have to send them again which doubles your ping or perhaps quadruples your ping if you count send and receive. I'm not much of an expert on network communication but I do know these things factor in.

First thing that comes to mind; are you trying to run a 2.8 server at the same time?

x2 If we get the weapon slots open

I have thoughts on how to do this but it would require editing all of the maps which would make for a big update. Not really something we wanna do right now.

Just to get this thread back on topic ... 

Thankyou guys, you have made many friends downunder with your work here.

Fair Dinkum Gamers Thanks you...

Thanks for coming here just to post that. For me, it's people like you that keep my desire to make/edit maps alive. If there's any improvements or suggestions you guys have, feel free to post them!

You can use the file locations in the readme to browse to the Maps folder and get a good list:

QUESTION: Where the hell does assist store the game system files and all its data?

ANSWER MAC-OSX: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/25Assist/
ANSWER LINUX: /home/USERNAME/25Assist/
ANSWER WINDOWS XP: C:\Documents and settings\USERNAME\Application Data\25Assist\
ANSWER WINDOWS VISTA/7: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\25Assist\

As for Anti-Poke Mismatch, make sure your client and server is updated (restart both).

For the rain on shipment, I used an emitter with 1200 particles that had a lifetime of 2 seconds or so. There's a special FX drop texture for it. If it's raining, you won't have direct light so you'll want to remove sunlight actors (rather than just changing the color and brightness of them). This should give you a good start.

You shouldn't have to reinstall the whole server. It's just Assist's files, PB & server configurations and mAAp. Probably no more than 90mb in total.
