1.3.4 (20-Nov-2014)
- Tank Rush 2 source is no longer private
- Added comments throughout the source
- Healed clients are now chosen by the percentage of static health plus temporary health over max health
- If all clients are at full health, they are all topped off (just in case)

You can find Tank Rush 2 on github here:

So it's been a while since the last update.

I had some things planned for TR2 but I got pulled into other projects and haven't touched TR2 in months.

Sometime in the coming weeks I'll be preparing TR2's source for public release.
The code needs to be cleaned up first and I'll be adding comments so it's easier to follow.

Tank Rush went through some insane improvements, the original plugin was a mere 150 lines of code. My current version is sitting around 2000 lines of code.

Stay tuned!

Lots of good changes this update.

I've also moved from Bitbucket to Github.
Once a server is updated to 1.3.3, all updates will now come from Github.
Updated download links are in the "HOW TO: Install Tank Rush 2" thread.

Changelog:

1.3.3 (31-Aug-2014)
- New player tank spawning method
- Convars now set more efficiently
- Initial bot tank will only spawn if tr_spawninterval >= 20
- Added cvar to enable or disable debugging
- Added cvar to change how many common infected spawn on the map
- Added cvar to change bot and player tank speed ratio
- Ability for player tanks to despawn by holding the walk button for five seconds
- Plugin will now check for updates at the beginning of a map
- Plugin will now load the new version at the end of a map
- Fixed issue with XPMod tank talents not loading on first spawn
- Bot tank will not be spawned if any infected players are currently dead (to prevent them from taking over)

Here's what's been done so far:

1.3.3 (xx-Sep-2014)
- New player tank spawning method
- Convars now set more efficiently
- Initial bot tank will only spawn if tr_spawninterval >= 20
- Added cvar to enable or disable debugging
- Added cvar to change how many common infected spawn on the map
- Added cvar to change bot and player tank speed ratio
- Ability for player tanks to despawn by holding the walk button for five seconds

So next I'm going to see what I can do to make things a bit easier for survivors on vanilla servers.
It's going to be difficult but I do want to add a legacy option so both player and bot tanks spawn on the same interval, one at a time, like it used to be on the original prior to ghost tanks.
Right now (in 1.3.3, not previous versions) bot and player tanks share the same spawn time (tr_spawninterval) but they spawn on their own timers and not one-after-the-other.

After that I want to add some things to make TR seem more like a unique game-mode and not just a plugin, such as sound effects, cues, and interaction.
I also want to work on an in-game menu which would have all the information you need on Tank Rush.
Of course, these things might not be in 1.3.3 and instead they'll be in a later version.

As always, feel free to leave suggestions.

I will start working on the next update later today and hope to have it released later next week.

Please leave suggestions on the "Official Suggestion Thread" in the discussions section of this group!

Here's what's on the list so far:

========================================================

To Do:

- Fix bug which causes rounds to not end when a server is first started (this bug is currently bandaged, but not fixed)
- Rework cvars to set more efficiently
- Add cvar to allow/disallow common to spawn
- Only spawn an initial tank if the spawn interval is >= 20
- New player spawning method: when event ghost_spawn_time is fired, spawn ghost tank immediately but remove that client's ability to spawn for value of tr_spawninterval
- Add cvar for tank speed ratio and modify: z_tank_speed, z_tank_speed_vs, z_crouch_speed, z_tank_walk_speed
- Specific keys to despawn and return to ghost mode (i.e. holding crouch+use for five seconds)
