Version 1.6.0 has been released
As usual, download links are up at our Google Code page.
This release is mostly "under-the-hood" changes to both the daemon and the web interface, though there are some quite noticable additions
Highlights:
- Full NeoTokyo support (thx to R3M, gH0sTy(heimer), and ViolentCrimes)
- Heatmaps (thx to msleeper, BoNzO, and `Zuko)
- Ventrilo Support (thx to Compuwis and psychonic)
- More images (thx to Semikolon, HS Fighter, MrXorMrY, Unity, and R3M)
- Better performance (thx to octodhd and psychonic)
- New optional daemon proxy to let large installs use a single logaddress with multiple, load-balanced daemons (thx to BoNzO)
- Conforms better to web standards
- More bugfixes
And much more. See full changelog below
Near all files have changes with this release, including all plugins and even images (many had their filesize shrank to take less bandwidth and load faster).
For upgrades, only upgrading directly from version 1.5.6 is supported.
1. stop daemon
2. backup db
3. backup config.php, hlstats.conf, and any custom web style or images that you are using
4. run sql upgrade script
5. delete web and perl directories and replace with ones from 1.6.0 package
6. copy settings from config.php and hlstats.conf to new config files
7. copy any custom images back to web
8. port any custom style to one of the new 1.6.0 stylesheets
9. edit path in new run_hlstats script (if used)
10. replace plugin(s) on game server if running amxx or sourcemod and reload
11. start daemon
Heatmap notes:
BoNzO has written a full wiki article on how to create background images for them, and how to setup and run the script.
Also, many background images (most created by `Zuko) are included in the Heatmap Background Image Pack 1 download at the same google code link. The database code coordinates for these background is already included in 1.6.0.
Plugin notes:
All the included plugins have been updates and the weapon_logging sourcemod plugin is now deprecated and should be completely removed. The new sourcemod SuperLogs plugin set has replaced weapon logging. There is a specific plugin for each of many games or a generic one that can be used if a specific one does not exist.
There is also a new "Stub" VSP plugin that users of Mani Admin or Beetlesmod can use (if they do not already use the sourcemod plugin). This will create the three cvars that HLX:CE uses for identification so that your sites can be automatically listed on the new master list we are building. Again, these are optional and only for people running Beetle or Mani, but not sourcemod. The stub plugin can be found in the download package in the "extras" directory. There are version for ep1 windows, orangebox windows, or orangebox linux (sadly no ep1 linux yet because of compiling issues).
Also:
As always, thank you to everyone who has been helping out with both fixes and helping support others on the forum. Also thank you to everyone that helps with coding, testing, and reporting bugs. Everyone's contribution of time is greatly appreciated. You guys are what make this project. And thank you to Rawh for helping me get the package uploaded (despite my crappy connection ) and for putting together and maintaining the FAQ while currently providing the most support of the forum users.
For other features promised in "the next release" that did not make it into 1.6.0 (like multi-language support and themes), we are still working on them. We just wanted to share what we had done along the way.
