<div class="IPBDescription">INFO ENCLOSED - READMEH</div> Many people have now noticed there are 1.05 servers about (like mine).
Following <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=8&t=34997' target='_blank'>THIS</a> discussion in the server and server ops forum, the following consensus was agreed:
1.05 (Unofficial)* servers are running (probably amongst others, but not necessarily)
UMBRA SPAWN ([WHO]Them)
spawning aliens get an umbra cloud. This is NOT the same as Hive umbra.
NO LEAP EXPLOIT (hullu)
stops a particular exploit which allows the user to leap (and charge, and blink) without using ENERGY.
HIVE HEAL FIX ([WHO]Them)
Hives heal at 20hp per tick instead of 2. This was the intended value, but 2 got in there by mistake (allegedly).
UNSTUCK PRO (hullu)
say /stuck or /unstuck (or team say it) and you will be "unstucked".
----------------------------
This means that the jetpack nerf (though it is on many 1.05 servers) isn't REQUIRED for 1.05.
I personally don't use it because of a few problems there have been with high pingers who have high fps. They find themselves rocketed into the air (high thrust from high fps), and the ping compensation appears to let them drop horribly to their deaths. ho ho ho. That said, it's a good plugin for many users, and props to Clamatius for his work on it!
There it is. You can find a list of all servers running 1.05 (or rather those with admins wise enough to include it in the server title (like me)) <a href='http://www.gametiger.net/search?sType=server&game=all&server=1.05&submitButton=Server+Search&count=100' target='_blank'>Here (thanks MonsE)</a>.
I did actually post this before, but no-one read it so I hope this time people actually bother!

no offense, but if it keeps crippling my FPS im gonna have to go to barrysworld, or jolt, or something (god forbid)
(forgive the cheek - u do have the best UK server)

And Zig, I've used a different title that people are more likely to read (the last one was more of a "help I don't know where to find this" type of wording).
The reason I've repeated it is because there are still inordinate numbers of people asking about 1.05 when simply reading this thread would have answered the problem...

I don't think it should be included as mandatory, though it is an excellent plugin.
I for one find that aliens are managing to win the majority of games already. Of course that doesn't mean that running it on top of the other plugins precludes the server from being 1.05 <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Maybe with a slight nerf on carapace/increase on base skulk armour in 1.04 then it would work to promote sensory first as a viable first hive chamber, in that case (if the balance works), then I'd definitely say YES it should go as a prerequisite for 1.05
On another note, ideally we wish to keep the number of plugins required to a minimum, to ensure maximal server stability and performance, though the hit of these plugins isn't huge, it is noticeable!

Its like gitting invisible walls.
couldnt been realised worse.
As for a good source of plugins, visit: <a href='http://www.modns.org' target='_blank'>ModNS</a> and The server and server ops forum here at n-s.org too. There is a sticky there which has links to all the necessary 1.05 plugins.
