Ranking

- ability to exclude yourself from ranking from the current match, for whatever reason you want (tired, wanting to try other guns, etc.)

The following requirements must be met:
1) Your skill must be at least 5.00. If you have skill between 5.00 - 6.00 then you may exclude yourself from ranking for one match / day. If you have skill at least 6.00, then you may do so twice / day (this will be reset @ 8 AM)
2) You have 0 kills and 0 deaths or it's practice round.
3) It's not peak hours (19:00 - 23:59)

To exclude yourself from the ranking from the current match, type "EFR" or "ExcludeFromRanking" to console (will be acknowledged or denied). Admins can use "AdminEFR" or "AdminExcludeFromRanking" when logged in and are only bound by condition 2).

Killing unranked player will not increase your kills just as being killed by unranked player will not increase your deaths. On UTComp scoreboard, unranked player will show "X.XX" under skill.

Skill

- type "HideSkill" or "ShowSkill" to console to hide / show skill (will say "X.XX" if hidden, just like EFR). Will also not update the name in the DB / Top 10 players if your skill is hidden. This is saved at the end of the match (so it won't save in case of midgame voting).

Other

- death message will say whether killer used scope or not
- RFF in deployed weapons fixed
- spree counter after trial round properly reset

Skill

- hiding skill can be toggled from the UTComp GUI (note that this is stored server-side)

EFR

- does not hide your skill and thus is more stealth (including AdminEFR)

Admin EFR

- fixed practice round disallowing to Admin EFR (standard EFR works) if you get a kill / killed
- logged

Please note - Admin EFR is designed for things such as maintaining balance without damaging your skill; not to be used at will (especially during peak hours).

A500 Acid Gun
