I only have the newer version installed, and it was not whitelisted just found out tonight the other days 8K worth of med point gone :(
Come on TripWire/steam get on the ball.
Some of us still need to level our perks.
Then get over it and learn that you need to take the mutator off? lool blaming TWI for you using a non-whitelisted mutator. That's a new one for the book.

while I agree with you, why whitelist ALL maps, but not mutators? boosting? ive seen plenty of maps that are ment for just boosting why not lets us rank up with what ever? or if nothing else add in game msg about grey listed stuff as most ppl dont know to check their stats, nor want to waste the time of jumping on a server making a head shot leaving to check then come back if it counts...... a msg @ bottom of perks screen would be a nice heads up * Rank Progression Will Not Be Saved* kinda what they do when you use the sandbox to alleviate confusion...

Because there is a difference from going lvl 0 to 6 in a few hours, then aimbotting, wall hacking, god mode, instant lvl 6 in a second, no reason to even having annual events and gain all achievements whenever, etc.

I think it was obvoius why they still have whitelisting for mutators silly.

touche, i failed to realize the editing that a mutators can do ( like the flash gordon effect of that impossible mut) compared to just a shooting fish in a barrel map. great point you win..... just wish there was more of a streamline way these author could get thier updated versions out there for us to use, i luv them so!! :)

SnZ: Correct, that is what that means

FluX: This mut has be updated, that's what I'm talking about. I like knowing who has just picked up a weapon and has not returned it to the owner.
On my server I ban for that. The white listed version of this mut has broken English that confuses some people.

Whitelist Status

Whitelist Status

So to sum it up .... at the moment there is no whitelisted version with enabled colour and message editing?

1. So theres only the whitelisted old version without colour editing AND "Take" bug.
2. The new one (page 3) has coloured and custom messages enabled but is not whitelisted and therefore would disable perk progression like all graylisted muts.

Am i right?

THANKS!

Update ?

Update ?

Any plans of updating this ?
Tried editing the output but made it crash...
and as far as I can see after reading all 4 pages here the only version white-listed is this one.

I do love the concept and would like to have it on My server but current output (/ALL CAPS) isn't for Me... none the less nice add-on.
And a update would be much appreciated

People have resorted to using this mutator client side because no one has updated it.

What they don't know is it only executes the message if they pick up the weapon, not someone else.

New guy on my server a while ago, spitting out "TAKE -gun-" messages.. I was just like what? There's a foreign trying to loan me a weapon.. okay.

But then it kept happening.. 2 more people went by. Then I realized people would appreciate this mutator corrected so much so they can tell who picked up their weapons when they died, that they are installing it themselves because it's probably on the workshop, and they don't know that sadly all the good **** is on the workshop because people think it's a more simple process for server owners compared to your typical .rar file right here.

Well the ScrN modded version executes the message if you picked someone else's(or a naturally map spawned weapon) weapon which I thought was neat and wanted to see a similar one that could be ported for standalone use without ScrN. The "TAKE" part of it just annoys me and I want to change it to "took" and not in all caps or maybe "picked up" instead. I'm not a fan of "ALL CAPS" messages unless I'm shouting or wanting to to seriously alert people but in this instance, I don't need or want this in capital letters.

The Beta version doesn't even work for me for some reason(it's also missing its own ucl file - isn't this file needed? --and yes I've added ServerPackages=KFARGBuchonOPQGR to the killingfloor.ini), and even if it did, apparently its not whitelisted and thus perk/achievo progression is halted.
