Styctap/Breaking Changes from sty+ct

<- Back

Here is an incomplete list of changes that may break some scripts and configurations when coming from sty+ct…

• Instead of PLAYER_ENTERED, you get PLAYER_ENTERED_GRID and PLAYER_ENTERED_SPECTATOR.
• PLAYER_GRIDPOS adds additional (rubber and speed) argument(s) before team. Use STYCT_COMPATIBILITY_LADDERLOG_PLAYER_GRIDPOS 1 to put those arguments after team. ‌
• Instead of GRIDPOS_INTERVAL(?) it’s PLAYER_GRIDPOS_INTERVAL. (sidenote: there’s also now a PLAYER_GRIDPOS_ON_TURN if you’d like, though the implementation of it will be improved in the future)
• Depending on how you match events, ONLINE_PLAYER may also match ONLINE_PLAYERS_ALIVE, ONLINE_PLAYERS_COUNT, and ONLINE_PLAYERS_DEAD Workaround:

LADDERLOG_WRITE_ONLINE_PLAYERS_COUNT 0
LADDERLOG_WRITE_ONLINE_PLAYERS_ALIVE 0
LADDERLOG_WRITE_ONLINE_PLAYERS_DEAD 0

• Blast zones kill players
• SPAWN_ZONE uses color arguments out of 15. Use STYCT_COMPATIBILITY_SPAWN_ZONE 1 to make colors be out of 1 instead of 15.
• SET_ZONE_COLOR uses color arguments out of 15. Use STYCT_COMPATIBILITY_SET_ZONE_COLOR 1 to make colors be out of 1 instead of 15.
• ONLINE_PLAYER adds access level and logged in flags before ping, though I don’t think many scripts actually depend on this so it may be moved around in the future…

Also probably worth mentioning, but not necessarily breaking:

• the rate of rubberzones are no longer tied to the current FPS. They’re instead tied to RUBBERZONE_RATE. Something to keep in mind if you changed your DEDICATED_FPS and depend on that for rubber zones, you’ll need to tweak the rate of the rubberzones.

• RESPAWN_PLAYER no longer requires the message flag argument. As of r1134/z2698 It will attempt to auto detect if it is in use, however.
