maddogx 13 Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php [89603] Fixed: A possible crash when textures were loading too slow from the disk. [89523] Fixed: Crash during engine termination from multiplayer game. [89374] Changed: Scripts which are not in a pbo can no longer be executed when not in the mission folder to improve security. [89361] Fixed: Linux server slow startup Edited February 17, 2012 by Dwarden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) as i mentioned on Skype groups the Linux dedicated server loading times improvement might also become visible on Windows dedicated server so if You see / can provide some results from Your servers then thanks in advance note: it's not active for clients (yet) Edited February 17, 2012 by Dwarden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

metalcraze 290 Posted February 17, 2012 I wish improvements to the ground effect in the recent ToH beta also made it in ;( Was any work done to improve SMAA due to complaints about it looking worse than an injector? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Winch3st3r 0 Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Since the the lastest beta my Arma 2 CO freezes at lobby of multiplayer games.

Robalo 465 Posted February 17, 2012 [89374] Changed: Scripts which are not in a pbo can no longer be executed when not in the mission folder to improve security. Does this mean no more code in <Arma dir>\userconfig\somefile.sqf ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmarkwick 261 Posted February 17, 2012 Does this mean no more code in <Arma dir>\userconfig\somefile.sqf ? Moreover, what about the MyDocs/ArmA2/Scripts folder, which I use to develop scripts and access them from several missions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mahuja 12 Posted February 17, 2012 [89374] Changed: Scripts which are not in a pbo can no longer be executed when not in the mission folder to improve security. I assume this mostly about blocking the loadfile "serverconfig_including_passwords" exploit. Unintended side effects may include shooting addon maker feet.

tpw 2315 Posted February 17, 2012 Moreover, what about the MyDocs/ArmA2/Scripts folder, which I use to develop scripts and access them from several missions? +1 The entirety of my Arma experience is playing my own editor based missions across multiple maps. All use (lots of) common scripts in Arma2/Scripts. I get the feeling this change is going to cause a lot of aggravation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prodavec 10 Posted February 17, 2012 1. userconfig doesn't work: ACE broken, CL mod broken, ACRE, Tushino radio addon broken etc... 2. no way to protect your server side scripts from potential leachers 3. script debugging is very inconvenient and anoying rollback to previous beta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddogx 13 Posted February 18, 2012 no way to protect your server side scripts from potential leachers Isn't it possible to run server side scripts in a PBO - i.e. an addon that only exists on the server? As far as I know, this should still work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

armatech 8 Posted February 18, 2012 Would be nice to have a server side config value say allowedscriptpath="some path" this way it will still have the required secrity but will also allow us coders to live debug with it. The all in a PBO form will take so much time to test code it would be silly if(!(isnil "_Derka))then{hintsilent derka derka";}; Errror shut game down change code to if(!(isnil "_Derka"))then{hintsilent derka derka";}; repbo re-launch reload mission error shut game down change code to if(!(isnil "_Derka"))then{hintsilent "derka derka";}; repbo re-launch reload mission success Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3245 Posted February 18, 2012 Do you realize that you can still use unpacked data? You only need a pbo loaded that uses the same namespace as the unpacked data and has the same files in it (file content can be different).
