7D2D RAT 2.0 Alpha -- 64 Bit (Alpha 19 Compatible) (DEPRECATED, See RAT 3.0 now) 2065

If you host your server on the same machine as RAT, you want this update. Fixes an issue where Game World Name was populated the Game World Seed value as well.

Doesn't really "break" anything, but would affect your world generation not using the seed you may have intended.

• Fixed: *** Possible RAT exploit of impersonation of another player. *** No known reports of this being exploited, but found and fixed. This would only affect RAT seeing one player as another player, nothing internal to the game.
• Changed: Server Configuration values are saved more frequently when navigating around RAT
• Added: Support for BCM player chat. Chat should no longer be duplicated when a player has a color or group assigned to them (Reported by: PhantomGhost)
• Changed: 'Player New Connected' event now happens when the player spawns into the world, instead of a 60 second delay.
• Changed: Server Login Confirmation field is now scrollable (Requested by: PlaT)
• Fixed: You can again use cursor movements in the console/chat windows as well as CTRL-A/C, etc. (Reported by: PlaT)
• Changed: World Gen Size maximum now set to 32768 (Note, this is twice the MAXIMUM recommended by TFP). I doubled it, because there's always SOMEONE wanting to push the limits.
• Changed: Game World is now a text box instead of a dropdown to support A17 game worlds (Reported by: StompyNZ)
• Fixed: RAT Exception on Saveworld timer could occur, no longer throws an exception, but root cause is still unknown (Reported by: PlaT)
• Added: Event Help for new Conditionals/RAT Commands (Reported by: Njinir)
• Added: On Connection Commands. Check the Remote tab. Basically perform the commands in the box, when RAT connects to the server. (Requested by: PlaT)
• Fixed: SaveGamePath was not properly being read/displayed (Reported by: Goshawkdm)
• Added: Currency System - You can now charge, or give players "currency" for doing actions within the game.
  See the Misc tab in RAT for a few bank settings (like enabling it!)
  
  This opens up a lot of possiblities if you get creative, examples:
  Giving new players X currency for joining your server the first time.
  Giving regular players X currency for joining the server once a day (just add a 24H cooldown)
  Giving currency for killing zombies and animals
  Taking currency for killing players (or even giving it!)
  
  Thes are just some of the ideas. All of these can be used with the RAT Conditional statments to prevent abuse, or put in specific checks
  like making sure the player has as specific level, Admin level, cooldowns, etc.
  
• Added: New RAT Conditional: HASFUNDS
  HASFUNDS:{player_steamid},AMOUNT -- only passes if the player has AMOUNT currency in their bank account
  
• Added: New RAT Event Commands:
  .BANKBALANCE:{player_steamid} -- sets new RAT variables (see below)
  .BANKMODIFY:{player_steamid},AMOUNT -- AMOUNT can be a negative to remove currency
  .BANKWITHDRAW:{player_steamid},AMOUNT -- AMOUNT is how much currency to convert to Duke tokens
  
• Added: New RAT Event
  Player Killed Zombie (or animals)
  
• Added: New RAT variables
  {bank_balance} - The players current balance
  {bank_max} - The maximum amount players are allowed to store in their bank.
  {bank_exchange_rate} - The exchange rate applied to a withdrawl of currency. aka, exchange rate of 10%, player removes 1000 currency, player gets 900 dukes.
  {bank_exchange_value} - The currency value the player gets, after the exchange rate is applied

• Added: Event command, CANCELSHUTDOWN. Will stop any RAT countdown timers in progress. (Requested by: mansellb55)
• Fixed: dbNull exception could occur when listing scheduled restarts (Reported by: PlaT)
• Added: RAT Conditional "ISFRIEND", to check if someone is a friend of someone, syntax is: ISFRIEND:<FirstFriend>,<FriendofFirstFriend>
• Added: RAT Conditional "NOTISFRIEND", to check if someone is NOT a friend of someone, syntax is: NOTISFRIEND:<FirstFriend>,<FriendofFirstFriend>
• Fixed: Multiple issues with Server config setting and checkboxes
• Fixed: RAT would in some circumstances, not restart a server when it should
• Added: RAT Support Discord link to the help menu

This fixes an error when clicking the FAQ link from the help menu.
