02.08.2008 - HLstatsX Premium Update
An update of HLstatsX Premium was released which introduces full support for the game "Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat" and two new options "Delayed Ingame Messages" and "Announce Players". The option "Delayed Ingame Messages" (disabled by default) delays the ingame notifications until the player dies or a round is over. This option is especially useful for mods like "Insurgency" where death notifications shouldn't be available to keep up realism.

The second option added called "Announce Player" will display player information like rank and geo data within the chat-area when players have connected. This option is enabled by default. Also within this update a couple of map overviews were added. Additionally, player kills/actions within the "victorious" round for the game "Day of Defeat: Source" are ignored by now and both ingame plugins were released for more reliable operation on gameservers.

Changelog HLstatsX Premium

• Integrated full support for the game "Insurgency"
• Added option "Announce Players"
• Added option "Delayed Ingame Messages"
• Ignore player kills/actions within the "victorious" round for the game "Day of Defeat"

  • CSS: de_inferno
  • CSS: de_nuke
  • CSS: de_prodigy
  • CSS: de_train
  • TF2: ctf_well (updated)
  • TF2: cp_fastlane
  • TF2: ctf_turbine

With this new release of the official HLstatsX Ingame Plugin (v2.2) it will make it possible to display detailled map performance statistics of each player for the games "Counter-Strike: Source" and "Team Fortress 2". This function will be unlocked within the next releases and will be also available for as many games as possible of the Half-Life 1 engine!

Furthermore, a new option called "Ranking View" was introduced to display only the important data on the webpages of each HLstatsX Premium account. At the moment the views "Standard" and "Team Fortress 2" are available. The "Team Fortress 2" view for instance removes all "accuracy" columns from the rankings.

And also the geo database was updated to the latest version.

24.03.2008 - Support for Mani-Admin-Plugin for the Orangebox integrated
Today full support of the mani-admin-plugin (v1.2) for games of the orangebox was integrated into HLstatsX Premium! By now the ingame show menus as well as the internal browser window will work as expected. We have integrated this work-arounds since we do not think there will be any bugfixes of the mani-admin-plugin in the near future.

We would also like to encourage gameserver admins to switch over to our official HLstatsX Ingame Plugin for SourceMod. Last week the first stable version (v1.0.0) of SourceMod was released and there are already many custom/unique plugins to start with. The HLstatsX Ingame Plugin is designed for HLstatsX Premium and is the only plugin which currently supports all functions of HLstatsX Premium!
