Mercenary Mayhem

Additions

• Added ping and status console commands for checking player latency and server information. Both can be used without operator permissions or cheats.

• Normal Engineer teleporters now keep their occupied chunks loaded, even when no players are nearby. Chunk loading persists across world restarts. Debug teleporters are excluded.

• TF2 spectators can now use left/right click to cycle between players in different dimensions. The destination dimension loads automatically before spectating them.

• Added improved server-lag logging to help identify slow ticks.

Fixes and Improvements

• Fixed TF2 characters playing their falling animation while holding jump at the surface of water.

• Fixed the Huntsman’s third-person animations. Sniper now transitions into the drawn pose and keeps the bow drawn while holding an arrow, including when standing still, moving, or crouching.

• Fixed the spectator HUD failing to update when players change class or team. Spectators can now see both teams’ actual classes and health.

• Fixed killfeed entries building up or remaining visible too long while spectating.

• Reduced repeated backpack and equipment checks to improve internal-server performance, particularly while Engineer buildings and teleporters are active.

Existing worlds: Previously placed teleporters need their chunk loaded once, such as by visiting them, to activate persistent chunk loading.
