I was finally able to track down a really bad bug with puppets which really screwed up markers, knives, and somewhat grenades. Those are just the known things it messed with. The new puppetdemo system coding is going great.

I created a teleporter history in order to prevent accidental sets detroying your teleporter and to allow yourself and other players to recall a teleporter from anyone's listing. Teleporters also keep track of how many times you recalled to them, per teleporter. The teleporter set and teleporter recall commands still work as normal, but now some extra commands have been added. The number of teleporters one may have is configured by the server cvar teleporters_max (default 10). The commands are now:

Note: "teleporter" may be replaced with simply "tele"
teleporter set - Stores a teleporter at your current location
teleporter recall - Recalls last used teleporter
teleporter recall <#> - Recalls teleporter with ID <#>
teleporter recall <#> <name> - Recalls teleporter with ID <#> belonging to <name>
teleporter recall <#> <player_ID> - Recalls teleporter with ID <#> belonging to <player_ID>
teleporter list - Lists teleporters belonging to you
teleporter list <name> - Lists teleporters belonging to <name>
teleporter list <player_ID> - Lists teleporters belonging to <player_ID>
teleporter clear - Clears all of your teleporters

The teleporters are tagged with an ID to distinguish them. The IDs are from 0 to teleporters_max cvar. As teleporters are pushed off the list, their IDs get reused back to the top of the list. This way, when you set a teleporter and it has ID 1, it will have ID 1 as long as it exists on the list. Recalling an ID from down the list moves it back to the top. The top most teleporter in the list is always the current teleporter. The list is always in the order of sets and recalls starting from the most recent. Recalling a teleporter from another player is the same as setting a teleporter at their teleporter's location.

I was testing this last night with two extremely helpful testers Vito^J and SoD^J and we all found it great. I am planning on moving the current teleporter's recall count to the HUD in place of the gravity readout.

Other teleporter like commands to add include teleporting to your loaded puppet demo's start and teleporting to the location of a marker.

So I've been finding some time to work on ^J Mod updates. I've got quite a lot done recently. I'm mainly doing testing now for bugs. Hopefully I will be releasing V1.24 within the next week!

V1.24.00 Has been released. It is on the ^J Mod website in the server files download section.
