Small hotfix for servers

I updated with just a small hot fix for servers.

  • Anti-cheat was banning players for no reason if the server was running at low FPS. This has been fixed and tested.
  • Occasionally, servers will have a map corruption error when the map isnt actually corrupted, thus stopping the server for no reason. The server will automatically restart when this error happens. So if your server enters a restart loop, your maps probably ARE actually corrupted. If you have logging enabled, the error will appear there instead to confirm.
  • You may have noticed banned.txt is now bm_settings.ini_banned.txt. This is for running multiple servers with different config files, so each server has its own ban list. Not as convienient as a global ban list, but it was causing file writing issues.
  • Lastly, you may have also noticed symbols at the end of IP address bans. These symbols help you determine what ban method was used quickly. @ = Anti cheat ban $ = Vote ban None = Banned by server owner IP addresses with $ at the end of them are automatically removed every hour or so. You can use this to your advantage to also temporarily ban players yourself. Just ban them, then open the ban list file and add the $ at the end of their IP address yourself. IP addresses with the @ are NOT automatically removed. They are merely there to tell you the anti-cheat took action against someone. I suggest investigating each issue then deleting the @ to "permanently" ban them or delete the whole IP address if you believe it was false. That way you can keep track of new bans that happened recently.

This update isn't MANDATORY but its recommended. People will still be able to play on your servers if you don't update right away.

Thats it. Sorry if you found this news post disappointing. Have a dancing pumpkin man to feel better.
