  ...

v8.0.1

• Fixed the problem with the language not loading on the SA-MP server. (#9, #10)

v8.0.0

• Fixed the problem of some accents not appearing in the game. (#7, #8)
• Added support for .NET 6
• Added a pawn.json file for sampctl (with this tool you can download the samp server and plugins).
• Added a Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml to deploy with Docker.
• Added two scripts (for both Windows and Linux) to build all filterscripts with sampctl. (#6)
• This version makes use of .env files for game-mode configuration.
• Added a new map: fy_iceworld2.
• Added a time limit in seconds that the flag will remain on the ground after being released.

v7.19.6-RC1

Main features:

• The /changemap command was modified to show in color which is the current map or the next map. Also added a confirmation dialog so that the player can choose if he wants to force the map at that moment or not.

  An optional parameter was also added to the command so that the player can select maps by a value. For example, if the player types /changemap fy, he will be shown maps starting with the word fy.

• A /nextmap command has been added to know which is the next map on the server.

• New maps have been added:

  • cs_assault
  • TheWild
  • GateToHell
  • TheBunker
  • cs_deagle5
  • cs_rockwar
  • de_aztec
  • mp_jetdoor
  • Simpson
  • ZM_Italy
  • zone_paintball
  • mp_island

• Two new administrative commands have been added for level 1: /setallweather and /setalltime.

• The MAX_MAPS constant was removed from the config.ini file, the reason is because it is tedious to manually add the value, so now it is obtained automatically.

• Added a default value to the variables: Interior, Weather and WorldTime. This configuration can be done in the config.ini file.

Fixed Bugs:

• When the map finishes loading and if a player is paused, his color will remain blue or red depending on the team he is on. So in this version this has been changed, his color will be changed to white (the color is not visible on the radar map).
• The map de_dust2_x1 has been modified because it left an open path through which the player could leave the map and this should not happen because the map should be completely closed.

v7.13.4-RC1

Fixed Bugs

• In the previous version, the connection to the database was left open until the application finished its execution. According to the official MySQL documentation, the connection can remain inactive for up to 8 hours, after that time, the connection is automatically closed. This caused that the SA-MP server can no longer perform any operation to the database, since the connection it had created was already "expired".
  The solution was simple, we created a global instance of type MySqlConnection and every time we need to perform an operation on the database, we open and close the connection.
  Although opening and closing the connection is an expensive operation, Connector/.NET uses internally pool connections, so we would be reusing the same connection.

• A second error encountered was the following:
  Imagine that the remaining time of the game is 1 second but just in that moment, a player could die, so the player could appear in the new loaded map and play as if nothing.
  The solution was simple, if this scenario happens, the player will be automatically redirected to the class selection.
