Update 1.29.213 - Update for Multiplayer Games

  • Teaming Accounts: family members and friends playing together will now be marked as "Teaming". This is not a punishment, but rather to foster fair-play towards solo players. Same as for clan players, those accounts are restricted to the friends and clan section.
  • Teaming Accounts Marker: players that have been found in solo games playing with friends will be tagged with "Teaming". That will prevent players to join solo games. This is not a punishment, playing with friends is fine, but the marker prevents players from mistakenly joining solo games.
  • Flagged Accounts: are now prevented from posting in the chat (abuse and manner).
  • Family & Friends: there are now additional checks in place to prevent friends & family to play together in solo-games. It's against our fair-play rule. Please join games in the clan & friends section instead if you want to play together.
  • Family & Friends: there is now internal tracking to identify friends playing together outside officially being in either (a) a clan or (b) marked as team-player.
  • Password Protected Games: they are NOT checked anymore if players violate the max. clan players/game rule. Given they are private and someone has a password, it can be joined no matter what.
  • Game Broadcasts (Chat): reformatted the game broadcasts in the chat to be more readable (also can now fully be translated).
  • Server Time: chat command /time added which returns the date & time on the server (it's generally in UTC).
  • Server Time: using the deoration {TIME:} will replace the UTC-time to the local time for the person that is viewing the text.
  • Copy/Paste: copying the link for an user is now supported also (user://...). Available when right-clicking (or long-pressing) on a user's username in the profile popup.
  • Copy/Paste: copying the link for a game now is available also (top/right corner button next to the title of a game).
  • Game UI: game listing now also indicates which games are intended for teaming or no.
  • Game UI: made some popups taller on larger screens, so more is visible if possible without scrolling.
  • Language: latest translations added - Thanks :-D
  • Language: misc. textual updates for clarity in admin section.
  • Game Manual: updated the section regarding clans, friends & family members to let them know they should not join games designated to solo players.
  • Game Manual: added instructions on what the escape characters are for the tags, i.e. ^[ and ^].
  • Game Manual: account status icons listed with their corresponding meaning.
  • Investigations: streamlined the interface by grouping related and also adding additional options & information.
  • Admin Guide: updated the "Cheat Investigation" section with more detail what is cheating and what is not.
  • Admin Guide: update for flagging section (effects on players).
  • Admin Guide: there is now the option to mark players as "Teaming". This is not a punishment, it simply forces friends & family members to play in the friends and clan section.
  • Bugfix(?): deselecting a selected text when pressing the ENTER key. Prevents sending empty messages!
  • Bugfix: user administration panel updated to all fits nicely even on small screens (moderators).
  • Bugfix: game links can now also be posted on the wall and properly function (i.e. the open the popup).
  • Bugfix: quick join games didn't work properly. The index didn't increment properly, preventing new games from being created when an existing game already existed.
  • Bugfix Crashes: investigation popup could crash.
