UPS status
« on: January 30, 2008, 06:49:34 am »
You've probably all noticed that there's a new folder in SVN labeled UPS. This stands for Ulysses Prop Share, our new prop protector. UPS isn't ready for prime time so don't get too excited yet. Basically all it does as of right now is register who owns what prop and displays a nice little HUD telling you who owns what when you look at it. The HUD should remind you of Utime... I filched nearly all the code from it. :)

I'd estimate the code is probably 30% done, from here I need to make a standard function for ownership check on callback that does all our fancy dances (re-assign ownership if the prop is up for grabs, play a sounds to the player if they're denied, check for connecting props on certain things, check server settings, client settings, etc).

Well, honestly, no, I didn't.
I so rarely browse the repository from the root, I wouldn't have.

I look forward to the release though.
