This update's focus is on reducing player toxicity. Some of you have been abusing the chat binds quite a bit and the feature was almost removed entirely but I was talked out of it. Theres also flood protection as well.

Weird unicode characters have also been stripped from names and clan tags. This was not only annoying and made me cringe to see edgy usernames, but it also messed with Game Maker's ability to log the chat and sending commands to the server.

The process to make levels less valuable has started. Instead of seeing them on the scoreboard, you now must click on their name. I'm not dumb and can tell someones cracked the save encryption, and I expected it. I'm just starting to move the game towards a point where levels and saves won't really matter that much except to the player that has it.

Lastly, some more weapon balancing. Handcannon has a new gimmick that should make it a less spammy weapon. Damage fall off has been increased, making most other weapons less spammy as well. Hopefully that will suffice the hand cannon whining.

Also Premium is on the sale, 50% off. Won't get much cheaper then that.

I updated with just a small hot fix for servers.

• Anti-cheat was banning players for no reason if the server was running at low FPS. This has been fixed and tested.
  
  
• Occasionally, servers will have a map corruption error when the map isnt actually corrupted, thus stopping the server for no reason. The server will automatically restart when this error happens. So if your server enters a restart loop, your maps probably ARE actually corrupted. If you have logging enabled, the error will appear there instead to confirm.
  
  
• You may have noticed banned.txt is now bm_settings.ini_banned.txt. This is for running multiple servers with different config files, so each server has its own ban list. Not as convienient as a global ban list, but it was causing file writing issues.
  
  
• Lastly, you may have also noticed symbols at the end of IP address bans. These symbols help you determine what ban method was used quickly.
  
  
  @ = Anti cheat ban $ = Vote ban None = Banned by server owner
  
  IP addresses with $ at the end of them are automatically removed every hour or so. You can use this to your advantage to also temporarily ban players yourself. Just ban them, then open the ban list file and add the $ at the end of their IP address yourself.
  
  IP addresses with the @ are NOT automatically removed. They are merely there to tell you the anti-cheat took action against someone. I suggest investigating each issue then deleting the @ to "permanently" ban them or delete the whole IP address if you believe it was false. That way you can keep track of new bans that happened recently.

This update isn't MANDATORY but its recommended. People will still be able to play on your servers if you don't update right away.

Thats it. Sorry if you found this news post disappointing. Have a dancing pumpkin man to feel better.

So after mingling with the veteran players for a little bit, I balanced a lot of the weapons for the end game better. So if any of these changes make you mad, well, blame your fellow player.

Shotguns are vastly different now so you might have to re-learn how to use them.

Musket has a fancy new toy attached to it now to make it a little more viable. The damage and reload speeds have been drastically changed to reflect more like a real world musket.

Lastly, the Shooting Range is available! Feel free to share your best times and see if you can get the best. I'm only able to get 1:10...

- General: Added mouse wheel to selecting weapons in weapon menu
- General: Fixed reload sounds not following players
- Maps: Added spikes to the sides of Factory


- Musket: Increased damage drastically, reduced reload speed drastically
- Musket: Added bayonet as alt. fire
- Long Rifle: Damage from last patch increase was a bug, damage officially increased from original stat (not as much as before)
- All Shotguns (Excluding Old Shotgun): Projectiles been changed to special shotgun projectiles , which have no damage fall off but have very limited range

This guy made a video on B-Man, he's got 5 million subs so expect a lot of full servers. It's not your first rodeo, use Quick Join and be patient.

If you know how to host, I am calling on you to lend me your energy.

¡Saludos a todos los seguidores de "Town"! Gracias por jugar "Boring Man".
No hablo español, así que le pedí a alguien que tradujera este mensaje.

Hay muchas personas jugando en este momento, por lo que se están
llenando todos los servidores. Por favor, usen la opción "Quick join" del menú "Join" y sean pacientes hasta que se libere alguno.

Además, si quieren contribuir con mi juego, pueden considerar comprar las mejoras Premium.
