Changelog

Achievements

• Fixed escaped Survivors not earning certain achievements if they started from the beginning.

Administration System

• Added "@carriers" pattern to target all Carriers in the server.
• Changed name targeting logic to mimic SourceMod's.
• Fixed AFK checker being too "aggressive" by kicking "AFK" players way earlier than it should be.
• Fixed admin warning count in the chat having an offset.
• Steam IDs in ban/warn lists are read and saved as "classic" Steam ID instead of Steam ID 3 for consistency (no need to update the IDs yourself, the game will do that automatically for you).

Angelscript

• Fixed "Globals.GetMapCycle" crashing the server with huge mapcycle and maplist files (this by extension also fixes the included Rock The Vote plugin).

• Reworked first person Lea's hands.

Client

• Fixed being able to see players of the opposite team silhouettes through glows.

Entities

• Potential fix for a crash related to the "game_ui" entity (this one is for community maps such as Smash Cannons).
• Potential fix for an issue when using a "func_tank" brush entity (this one is for community maps too).

Localization

• Potential crash fix for achievements announcement in languages that do not use Latin characters (like Simplified Chinese).
