ULX 3.50 -- Potato
« on: May 13, 2011, 05:20:46 PM »
We want to thank the community for being so patient with us while we worked on this update! This release has been codenamed "potato", but has no relation to evil, domineering potatoes that have doomed us all.

The biggest changes in this release are the overhaul to the command system (giving much better errors when syntax is incorrect, much better autocomplete, and making our code much simpler) and XGUI (a GUI interface written by our very own Stickly Man!).

Here's the changelogs:
Quote from: ULX changelog
v3.50 - *(05/13/11)*
   * [ADD] Autocomplete to ulx playsound.
   * [ADD] Hook, "ULXLoaded".
   * [ADD] Documentation for new keywords to "ulx help". Keywords for target self, target group, target picker, and negate.
   * [ADD] Ability to specify a URL in "ulx showMotd" to show a URL.
   * [ADD] ulx removeuserid, userallowid, userdenyid.
   * [ADD] Integrated UTeam.
   * [ADD] Colored action echoes.
   * [ADD] ulx logJoinLeaveEchoes to echo player steamid's to admins when players join and leave.

   * [FIX] Improved error checking on "ulx ent" (Thanks Python1320).
   * [FIX] Error when running "ulx whip" from dedicated console (Thanks AtomicSpark).
   * [FIX] Can no longer use "ulx motd" if the server has motd disabled, made it so you can change "ulx showMotd" on-the-fly (Thanks AtomicSpark).
   * [FIX] "ulx groupallow" error when used from outside the server console (Thanks AtomicSpark).
   * [FIX] ULX done loading hook removal on listen servers (Thanks Stickly Man!).

   * [FIX] Fixed "ulx unragdoll" not working in DarkRP (Thanks Ayran).
   * [FIX] Fixed an issue with dying while frozen (Thanks Stickly Man!).

   * [FIX] A bug with ulx whip where a timer would never be removed if the player left during whipping.
   * [FIX] Can no longer ragdoll a dead person (Thanks RiftNinja).
   * [FIX] Jails are much more robust (if you get out, it puts you back, and you can't get physgunned out) (Thanks RiftNinja).
   * [FIX] Can no longer slay frozen players (Thanks RiftNinja).

   * [REMOVE] ulx ghost, I was never happy with it.
   * [REMOVE] Old menus, uses XGUI now.

Quote from: ULib changelog
v2.40 - *(05/13/11)*
   * [ADD] ULib.tsayColor and Ulib.tsayError

   * [ADD] Lots of new hooks.
   * [ADD] Support for gatekeeper in ULib.kick.
   * [ADD] Our own optimized version of datastream, since garry's implementation is always broken.
   * [ADD] ULib.getAllReadyPlayers(), useful for sending usermessages to everyone.
   * [ADD] Basic spam detection system for ULib commands.
   * [FIX] ULib.filesInDir, was completely broken.

   * [CHANGE] Chat hooks are now a high priority due to other aggressive admin mods overriding ULX.
   * [CHANGE] Rewrote UCL entirely. The upgrade script should take care of bringing over old data into the new system.
   * [CHANGE] Added the ability to have access tags for each access string. These allow the accesses to have customizable behavior.
   * [CHANGE] Access tags now have comments attached to them (for the "what is it?" among us).
   * [CHANGE] Added lots of keywords (and keyword negation!) to ULib.getUsers and ULib.getUser.
   * [CHANGE] Invisible gets rid of shadows now.
   * [CHANGE] Garry's hook table spec is now more closely followed. (Thanks aVoN!)
   * [CHANGE] Moved the hook changes to the shared portion so clients can use the enhanced hooks as well.
   * [CHANGE] Updated the hooks file to match garry's recent changes. Also increased efficiency in hooks (faster than garry's!)
   * [CHANGE] Slaps now do a view punch as well.
   * [CHANGE] Allow nil access on ULib.addSayCommand so that you can create a command you always have access to.
   * [CHANGE] ULib.ucl.query always returns true when a nil access string is passed in.
   * [REMOVE] Ability to have passwords in UCL, don't think it worked anymore and it was never really used.
   * [REMOVE] Immunity no longer exists, since the new UCL has a much better method of doing the same thing.
   * [REMOVE] Some hooks due to garry breakage.
   * [REMOVE] Chat sounds on tsay, engine no longer makes sounds so neither should tsay.

On another note, Megiddo will be taking a vacation for the rest of the month. No, really. See you all again in June!
