Update 1.12.2013

!!!! Window management is finally fixed !!!!
Finally I figured out how to check what window should be the topmost in all cases, also windows are now all opaque.

* new chat commands /spec and /play to control your spectator / playing status (very handy on password protected servers, since you can't change othervice from spectator to player)
* new chat command /info to show server info for geeks =)
* we got now inheritage for admingroups (Thanks Oliver) !
* Mapratings widget changed, it displays now also votes in percentage + total voters count
* New widget at endmap to rate the map
* Personal messages window didn't show right players in the list, fixed.
* Dedimania enhancements, it should now display the dedimessages right (hopefully, needs testing tho for different dedimania servermaxrank servers + players with different maxranks)

aaand... more updates to come !!

You forgoth so much, There is plenty of small bug fixes and small features that makes things simply better Reaby really outdid himself this last few days.

Also we are redistributing the permissions, because some permissions gives to much access to players so we are splinting it up to smaller permissions. So if any of your admins has permissions going missing, it is caused by this and it is an expected behavior.
Note also that we know about the admins file not being updated properly some times. This causes newly added admins not to be saved. We are investigating.

If you do edit the file manually, I strongly recommend you to stop
so true has been replaces by y
u is unknown, it will check the groups it inherits to decide. If no such group then will be considered as false
n is equivalent to false
The update from old file to new is automatic but you may want to make a backup.

Nice with the #translation# tags. This helps a lot to see what still has to be done.

But I fear there is a bit of a mess with the en.txt and en2.txt (I downloaded the complete ZIP from github).

And e.g. in Adm\Messages\en.txt, words like timeAttackSynchStartPeriod are variables or should this also be translated?
Could we use more description and blanks there?

An Update!
Made the script to remove the differential files --> "en2.txt" from each directory, so no problem.

The language files contains now the updated messages with the #translate# tags

well.. hmm.. that is used in "game options" window to mark the matchsettings file tagname. I thought it might be best to use the tags, but maybe it needs to be changed something else then, if you invent a good term, just be free to use it instead.

Ok, thanks!

Btw. in Players\Messages\en.txt there is a typo, but I don't know if it is also like this in the code:
Admin has released you from specate to play

In the de.txt there were now two lines:
the one I already fixed before, and additionally the wrong above

What shall we do in such cases (typos in original english messages)?

Well the typos in original english messages in the code should be fixed ofcourse, but this means that if i fix it in code and run again the update script.. it will generate a new line for the corrected and not delete the old one.

hmm.. one solution i can think of would be to change the file format to have metatag (or line) on php filename and row where the original string in code comes from, then when i run the update i can check if the row has changed also in code and delete the old entry + create new with tags... dunno if it's good idea, but thats what i think would be possible to do inorder to prevent dupes when correcting typos from the sourcecode strings.

You could only get rid of this by using also the English strings directly from the messages files,
having some string identifier like #251# in front of each string.

But If I get it right, the en.txt will also be used as "translation" of itself, so in the second line the typo can be fixed without code change?

that's correct. en.txt is loaded to translation system and you can indeed fix typos there too.

Btw i spotted little bug with the translations exporter..
You may see \' and \" what is escaped string starter tags in the current version of your downloaded github translations messages, i'll apply a patch to correct those to normal ' and " for the messages...

I do a note for myself to check the incoming translations for these.. sorry for the inconvience.
