Room Server Mod - Readme

- Room Server v0.7 Modifications -


-> Bug Fixes:

    - Music #11 wasn't selectable in random.
    - Livermore, S.Eason and Vivian weren't selectable in random.
    - The word "says:" was stuck with the player's name in the Room Server log.
       E.g.: "Playersays: (message)".
    - In the Room Server log, "PlayerX change the..." was fixed to "PlayerX changes the...".
    - The Room Server log showed some unicode symbols as squares. Now supports more symbols. (I changed the font.)
    - Room Server allowed passwords bigger than 12 chars, while HF only allowed passwords with 12 chars.
    - In Story Mode and Battle Mode, when someone clicked on the button "Start Fight!", the text appeared at the in-game
      chat as: "Player X: Click on 'Next'".
      Now it appears as "Player X: Click on 'Start Fight'", just like in VS Mode.
    - In chinese language, the text "help" appeared as "help" after creating the room.
    - In chinese language, the text "back" appeared as "back" at the CAPTCHA screen.
    - The "Next stage" button repeated the same stage (except for stage 1 and stage 2, that went to the next stage).
    - "Cancel" button didn't work when someone clicked on "Start Fight!" in VS Mode.
    - "Restart Game" didn't work in Battle Mode when players were waiting at the Waiting Room.
    - VS Mode backgrounds were set to random after someone clicked on "VS Mode". Now they are remembered.
    - The character slot which a player used was set to random if the player removed it and added it again.
      Now the character which a player uses is remembered.
    - It was possible to add troops to the character after the next count starts. Now it is not possible.
    - When a player was kicked out, he didn't receive the Connection Lost message until he tried to do something.
      Now, whenever a player leaves the room, he instantly receives the Connection Lost message.
    - Room froze when players were fighting and someone pressed OK in the Keyboard Settings.
    - In Battle Mode, clicking a Battle Preset and then clicking a Battle Type of the same preset didn't work. But in Single Mode it did.
    - Troops levels weren't refreshed when changing to a character with level 1, or after a character's level up.
    - Latency could be forced to 3 by clicking "Reset your latency" and then clicking Keyboard settings and then clicking "OK". Now it is fixed.


-> Bugs that I know but could not fix:


    - When someone clicks on [Random] for background, the background is randomized 2 or 3 times.
    - Synchronization error when someone uses Player 2 in Battle Mode.
    - "<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Server Hanged! Kicking out all users...>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>" message appearing repeatedly.


-> Modifications and New features:


    - Normalize Level is default.
    - Crazy difficulty is default. (Just a matter of preference)
    - Rides 0 and Objects 0 by default. Dinos off by default. (Another matter of preference)
    - Small Hut is default. (Yet another matter of preference...)
    - Coms and Players added to the team with less members.
    - A player is kicked out after staying idle for 5 minutes.
    - Minimum latency limit is 6.
    - Interface prompts user when closing a running server.
    - Shows in the log when a player pauses the game.
    - Button in the server to export the log to an encrypted file.
      And a button to import the encrypted log to the Room Server. (Useful for reports)
    - Room Server log shows the specific changes a player made when picking a stage, normalize level, dinos, rides, objects, difficulty, background, battle type.
    - The latency limit and password of the room are shown in the Room Server interface (hover over the client's count label).
    - The Room's description is shown in the Room Server interface (hover over the Room's name or IPs labels).
    - The latency which the player joined the room with is shown on the Room Server log.
    - Shows on the log when a player changes latency.
    - Password is available in Public Rooms.
    - Private Rooms don't need to have name.
    - When a player joins the room, he will receive a message telling what Mode other players are playing.
      And if it is Story, it will also show which Stage.
    - Story Maps added to VS Mode, accessed by random backgrounds or chat codes.
    - Big 3 theme and Eason/Vivian love song are available, accessed by random music or chat codes.

-> Because the Room Server is not official:


    - Room descriptions will have "- Mod by Zero (helping HF) -". (Because I do not wish for any credit for myself, I named myself "Zero")
    - Players will be warned that the room is modified, when joining the room.

-> Security:

    - This Room Server modification is harder to modify. I have used a Java obfuscator on it.
