SRB2 version 2.1.20 patch release

We forgot to mention in the news post, but crashes with SRB2 no longer log anything to errorlog.txt, just in srb2win.RPT. As always, crashes with the game should be reported to this thread so I can debug them as they are reported: https://mb.srb2.org/showthread.php?t=38199
It's a version number embedded into the SRB2 executable that is sent to the master server for it to report what is the server's version.
Modders can compile SRB2 with a different mod ID, if they want.
It will show as an unknown version due to the number probably not being in the master server's database. You can ask for one if you're making a mod or something.
Used mainly to differentiate versions like for example vanilla SRB2 from TopDown, Kart and even different versions of vanilla SRB2.
For those who use the "PlayerSpawn" Lua hook and would like their functions for that hook not to do something for spawning at starposts (or otherwise to do something special specifically for starposts), I believe the game itself uses player.starposttime to check whether the player has a starpost set or not (0 = no, anything else = yes). So, naturally, we do the same thing in Lua to test this.
So the following code, for example, would print one message if the player spawned at a starpost, and another if they didn't:
Hope this helps with your Lua scripting!
(only snag may be that bots don't actually ever respawn at a starpost regardless of this value, though I don't recall if they ever actually activate them themselves anyway)
So the following code, for example, would print one message if the player spawned at a starpost, and another if they didn't:
Code:
local function pspawntest(player)
if player.starposttime
print("Player "+#player+" has just respawned at a starpost!")
else
print("Player "+#player+" has just spawned!")
end
end
addHook("PlayerSpawn", pspawntest)Hope this helps with your Lua scripting!

Um....I don't know if its just me, but for some reason my computer is detecting the patch release as malware. Or something of that nature. Help anyone?
Yeah.
You could do at least one of these:
You could do at least one of these:
- Disable your antivirus (temporally, if you have one)
- Send a false positive report (if available, so it can be marked as a not malicious file)
- Exclude the new SRB2 executables from automatic scanning from the antivirus (if you have one)
- Get Windows SmartScreen to shut up by disabling it temporally or by excluding the executable from its scanning too (if you use Windows)

This malware thing never happened to me on Windows 10. Maybe I'm not on the newest version.
