29/04/2012 TF2 Update

[Lambda]

A new update has been pushed out for our TF2 Servers, this is the changelog

• Implemented a system to avoid mini-sentry spam.
• Stability fixes.

Anti MiniSentry spam system

I've implemented a system to avoid or atleast decrease the mini sentry spam problem that some of our servers experience.

You can build 4 mini sentries without any penalty, once you build 4 minisentries in your life and one of them is destroyed, you will need to wait 30 seconds since the time of the sentry destroy to be able to build other minisentry.

Timers are reset on each spawn, note that this ONLY applies to mini sentries, normal sentries are unafected.

Notes:
Im aware of the wrangler bug with multi sentries, i need to find a fix for it but it will take time as is not something easy (lots of hacks have to be done in order to achieve that system), also, this update is only on the EU servers for now, US servers will be updated tomorrow.

Happy fragging!

Great job. And so soon already!

I think (and hope) this fixes the spamproblem.

[Murreki]

Didnt I suggest this a month before I left for training? XP

[Jaybonaut]

Sounds good.

[beardy]

good stuff.

[Looser]

to bad the sentry spam fix is broken and not working like it should

[Bradwick]

Just glad he nerfed minis and not reggies.

Great job and work Lambda! No more mini sentry spamming in the middle room on turbine!

[Looser]

yeah when he fixes it

[Lambda]

Fixed a bug reported by Looser that was causing the system to not work unless you were the one that destroyed the sentries.

Also decreased the timer from 30 secs to 10 secs, based on testing 30 seconds is too much that it can start to become annoying, 10 seconds does the job fine to annoy engineers who are intentionally spamming and not screw too much the legit ones.
