Server changelog
Every update to the Attack & Defense server, newest first.
v1.44 VCAD Update 1.44
New: Team HUD - a new overlay at the top centre of the screen during rounds:
New: Base name bar - the base name now shows in a bar at the bottom centre of the screen when a round starts, with the base number and mode (Attack & Defend, or Brawl for brawl bases). The old base text that overlapped the screen has been removed.
New: Capture bar - while someone captures the checkpoint, a bar appears under the timer showing who is capturing and how far along they are. It replaces the yellow countdown that used to show at the bottom right.
New: Kill feed - the last four kills now show at the top right, under the game's own health and weapon display. Killer and victim are in their team colours, with the weapon in between, and an orange edge marks a headshot.
New: Round summary - when a round ends, a panel under the win display shows the base, the top player with their kill count, first blood and last blood. It stays for the same 10 seconds as the win display.
Changed: old bottom-of-screen texts removed - the text at the bottom left that showed your side (attacking / defending) with the timer, the round timer at the bottom right, and the yellow 20-second capture countdown are gone. It is all in the Team HUD and the new capture bar now.
Improved: chat anti-spam
Improved: base voting, sets and spectating
Fixed
Images are design previews of the new overlays.
- Red and Blue round scores on either side of the base timer
- Attack / Defend tag for each team
- Alive counter with pips showing how many players each team has left
- In the last 30 seconds the timer turns orange
- When a round ends the HUD stays on screen for 10 seconds: the winning team's name replaces the timer and their score glows, while the timer, alive counts and side tags hold their final values
- Hidden in the lobby

Improved: chat anti-spam
- Muting is now based on how many messages you send in a short time, so normal chatting no longer gets muted by mistake, while fast spam is stopped
- The message that triggers a mute is no longer sent
- Repeat offenders get longer mutes: 30 seconds, then 2 minutes, then 5 minutes (this resets after an hour without spamming)
- Team chat, /me, /dc and private messages count too
- Repeating the same message is blocked, even with different capitals, spaces or punctuation
- Colour codes in chat messages are removed, and messages written mostly in capitals are shown in lower case
Improved: base voting, sets and spectating
- The base vote skips bases played in the last rounds and always offers three different bases
- In big lobbies (10 or more players) the vote offers regular bases instead of brawl bases
- The last base and the third vote option could never be picked before - now they can
- /setlist now lists what each set really gives you
- Spectating remembers who you watched last and goes back to them
Fixed
- Backspace error in vehicles created by admins during the game
- /startbase random could pick an empty base, and some base numbers were not checked
- Rounds ended by an admin were logged as "vote end"
- Errors in /keybind, /go and /teaminfo (which also crashed when a team was empty)
