Ok, finally got off my butt and did a new release. This version has the following changes:

* $ symbol is now stripped from player names
* added /tv (on/off) control to chat (Jaylou)
* Can set or disable name changing in the game options (File Sponge)
* Fixed get crazy amount of exp bug with an ill-formed daily event

You can grab it here.

I think the DiMart Guns add-on and possibly others use variable names longer than the max allowed - this might cause crashes or player data corruption!

Yeah, my own dumb fault for setting the limit at 32 characters. I've upped it to 64 in 0.98 to fix the problem.

If you don't use any FQ mods, no need to upgrade.

You can download the full installer here, or just the .exe here.

This version patches an exploit that can allow someone with a hacked client to win any battle. If you're playing on a 0.96 game, I'd recommend emailing your admin and ask him to upgrade.

Thanks to Ivan256 for finding the exploit.

I've currently running a test server in debug mode to try to locate and fix a memory bug in FQ.

If anybody knows how to crash a server please let me know the steps taken!

Was a license server outtage of about 7 hours today.. the cause was my son unplugged it and I didn't catch it until the next morning. Yikes. Going to move the plug to a better place.

Back up now.

Also, there is a new "hot beta" available, but because it's the first VC 2005 build I've done I recommend being very careful with it, definitely backup your game before trying it!
