changedQuick-Banning Sick of fishing through menus for that greifer with the name just like one of your friends? For a one-day ban that you can extend later manually, press f3 while hovering your mouse over the greifer, and then hold B and press f3 again to ban them for a day. That's F3 to freeze players, B-F3 to ban frozen players .
addedSeclevs available from scripts This is largely a bonus for modders who can now check the specifics of a players security clearance, but also means makes things like votekicking admins no longer possible .
fixedSeclev related bugs fixed A few missing convenience features should be available to anyone with a red name on the server.
addedClass Icons in TAB Menu A long-missed classic feature, you can now see the class of a player and the class make-up of a team from the TAB/Score menu. Especially useful for complaining about the exact number of useless builders you have on your team.
fixedFixed "black hole" keys All keys should now be able to be successfully rebound, no longer blocked by unused keys. The unused keys are now visible because they are available for modders to use.

  • Class Icons in TAB Menu A long-missed classic feature, you can now see the class of a player and the class make-up of a team from the TAB/Score menu. Especially useful for complaining about the exact number of useless builders you have on your team.

  • Fixed "black hole" keys All keys should now be able to be successfully rebound, no longer blocked by unused keys. The unused keys are now visible because they are available for modders to use.

  • Doors don't collapse after they have become stable Should help you keep out pesky knights and help in building more "creative" structures. This applies to both doors.

  • New Spectator Camera Coded by community member Verrazano, the new spectator camera can follow units by clicking on them, scrolls with the keys and does little else, should be a little less confusing to use. Also has help text for those still playing with help popups.

  • HTML Documentation Available from the Docs folder in your KAG install, the documentation effort is underway, with a large portion of CBlob, some of CMap and a lot of global functionality exposed. We'll be addressing issues with these soon, adding more documentation and fleshing it out, but we're keen to have feedback on what's there already - what you guys would like to see more of, any issues you have with what's going on, and so on.
