Fullmetal Conquest

Ladies and gentlemen, the tournament will start very soon! Registrations for Fullmetal Conquest will close in less than two days, so make sure that all of your teammates have accepted the invitation. For those who don't know, the tournament will last over two weekends: the qualifiers will be played on 10th and 11th November, and the finals will be played on the following weekend. The tournament will feature conquest gamemodes, which focus heavily on PvP. Check out the announcement post for more information.

Halloween Apocalypse Event

As the spooky seasons draws to a close, the Halloween Apocalypse event has finally ended. If you haven't submitted your screenshots yet, you still have time until 12th November. See this response to the thread for more details. For now, the rotation has been reverted to the previous (non-spooky) one, while the next rotation is being finalised. Until next year!

Development News

Operation Ares

has had some significant progress:

• Added all regions from PGM.


• Added basic filters.


• Added localization support.


• Added a large number of base parsing code.


• Added number actions, which are a way for map authors to dynamically modify numeric values, including but not limited to damage, time, and score.


• Added item stack parsing, and an option to automatically set the colour of items based on team colour, where possible.


• Added support for multiple configuration types (only XML for now.)


• Added support for regions to be based on blocks in the world.


• Ready to start coding specific facets (previously known as modules.)

Aside from operation Ares, the current plugins also received two notable updates: staff are no longer randomised inside groups on the staff page, and the knockback which explosions give has been increased. This last change will hopefully make icarus cannons more viable.
