We will be removing Transformation coupons from the shop following the interface update on Sunday/Monday.

You may discuss here, but make sure to choose your BOT type before it's too late. They'll only be available in Zylon Shop/other players now.

---

Within the next few hours we'll be releasing a few major changes to the game's core engine. In order to verify everything works, I've decided to run a public compatibility test - this means we'll release it into the game and accept all bugs you guys get as a result of it.

Our hopes are that it will be 100% flawless. However, as we all know, it *might* not be the case..
I'll reply here when it's released.

Bug Fixes
----------------------
1.) Death fix where players somtimes do not die.  The last update did not have this fully patched, only part of the issue was resolved.  This one should have it fully fixed.  Please post if its still occuring.
2.) The game would crash if you spammed creating a room / escape.
3.) Locked slots bug- This has been in bots since the beginning.  Basically, even if no slots were locked, and you returned from game, some slots would be locked at random.  Or, if you join a room with some slots locked, none of the locked slots would show up as locked.
4.) Transformation Coupons showed -1 times since the past update.  This has been fixed, however, all transformation coupons purchased before this update will remain -1 Times.  I guess that means they are rare since they are "misprints".
5.) Another bug that has been with bots since the beginning, "p_CurrentPlayerPosition[X] = Y".  This has been resolved by modifying some of bots core functions to no longer allow the Y from occurring.

Changed features
----------------------
1.) New score card image for elimination / timed mode.  The new image no longer has the entire screen darkened when the score card is opened.  It also matches our current theme a lot better, and can now be modded by players.
2.) The score card also now contains the current rank in the room that each player is.  And, it will automatically update the ranks while the game is playing.
3.) Changed @suicide to no longer display "You cannot suicide in a deathmatch game".  It now shows "You cannot suicide in a <elimination|timed> match".
4.) The maximum amount of Experience obtainable per game is now 65535 in all game modes.
5.) You can no longer level up more than one time per game.  Example, if you needed 30 experience to level up to the next level, and you were supposed to get 3000 exp, you would only receive 30 exp that game.
6.) Timed and Elimination mode now has rankings.

Please report any issues that you may find here.

Thanks,
~RedEyes.

As some of you know, there have been very little updates lately, and in administration, we've been pretty laid-back about anything going on in-game (and I've been playing some wow, of course).
So, we're offering this chance for you guys to understand a little bit more of what's going on at the top-ladder of BoutCheetah: we're going to answer questions - an in-depth answer - with our real voices and upload your answers to our official ZG youtube channel.

Questions that you may ask could include questions about future content (such as the Swarmed Legion vs Winged Army), or about some suggestions you may have, or even a question about our in-game lives or opinions on in-game matters.

All three of us admins (Allie, Kenny and Tricky) will choose three questions each that you, the players of our game, ask us. You may ask one question to each of us, but only one question per person, for we will only choose three each. We'll record most likely next weekend, so you guys have until then to choose what questions to ask us.

We look forward to answering your questions; any questions regarding this Q&A may be asked here, else you can start asking questions for us to answer, in-depth, over chat later.

Remember to specify which admin you're directing your question at.

You may notice quite a few different things in-game after this last update.  Here's what we changed / added:

Elimination Mode (Individual PvP)
To play this new game mode, simply add the tag {eli} for a default match of 5 lives per player.  If you want to customize how many lives per player, you can use the tag {eliX}; X = number of lives.  The minimum is 2, and the maximum is 20.

Timed Mode (Individual PvP)
To play this new game mode, simply add the tag {time} for the default time to be 5 minutes in a PvP match.  Players can re-spawn an infinite amount of times in this game mode.  If you would like to change the time given, simply use the tag {timeX}; X = amount of minutes.  The minimum amount of time is 1 minute, and the maximum is 99 minutes.

For both of these game modes, the default re-spawn time is set to 10 seconds.  If you would like to change that, simply use the tag {resX}.  X = the amount of seconds that it will take for them to re-spawn.  The minimum value is 0 seconds, and the maximum value is 99.

You can also view the score by pressing and holding s on your keyboard. (First custom GUI ever added to Bots w/o source. teehee)

Rankings will be coming soon for both elimination and timed mode.  We decided not to add them yet, just in-case there are a few bugs with re-spawning.

Guild buffs
Guild leaders may purchase an EXP Multiplier from the shop for 500 Million Gigas and Additional Luck from the shop for 400 Million Gigas.
The EXP Multiplier will give everyone in the guild an additional 20% experience.  The Multiplier will be permanent, and is not a item that is transferable.

The Additional Luck will give everyone in your guild 100 additional luck.  This is a permanent item as well, and is non transferable.

---

Player buffs
EXP Multipliers are purchasable from the shop for 50 games and 100 games at a time. There are three version of the multiplier available:

1.) 20% Experience increase - 50 Games (12.5 Million Gigas) - 100 Games (25 Million Gigas)
2.) 50% Experience increase - 50 Games (25 Million Gigas) - 100 Games (50 Million Gigas)
3.) 100% Experience increase - 50 Games (62.5 Million Gigas) - 100 Games (125 Million Gigas)

---

Sector Changes
The boss now drops a revival pack every game when you kill it.  If you push the boss, then no revival pack will drop.

---

Additional Room Tags
{op} - When using this tag, players with "overpowered" items equipped will not be able to enter.  The same goes for when a player is attempting to use this tag when making a room.  You can use this tag in all game modes.
{rd} - Removes random drops from the room.  (Ex: Trans Ups/Health/Rebirth/Stun/Bombs).  You can use this tag in all game modes.
{minlX} - Lets you set the minimum level allowed to enter your room.  X = the minimum level allowed to enter.
{maxlX} - Lets you set the maximum level allowed to enter your room.  X = the maximum level allowed to enter.

---

Lobby Changes
When you log-in to the game, you will now see a new message saying how many gifts and messages you have.

---

Bug Fixes
1.) A rare disconnection issue that happened if you have an extremely high ping to the server.
2.) A very rare bug where you would start a sector match, and monsters would spawn everywhere, and bring you to the last block.  This was caused from a relay fix that was issued a few updates back.
3.) A frequent bug where players would not die in PvP when they actually did die.  I'm fairly certain this issue has been fixed with this update.  However, I will need to do more testing to confirm it.  Please post if it is still happening.

Thanks,

Yep, we are now allowing account sharing in BoutCheetah. You are now free to sell your accounts & share them with your friends without hassle. But there are some things to keep in mind when sharing accounts.

-Ownership will always belong to the original owner of the account, regardless of who the "current owner" is.
-If you buy an account and you are scammed, you will not be refunded. The user may still be banned for violating rule #2 (no scamming).
-If you are sharing accounts with somebody and they get the account banned, it's the account owners responsibility.
-No sharing accounts with special priveleges (@staff)
-You have to take care of your own account. If someone steals your account then we can't help you.

Let me know if I'm missing some details, rest should be common sense. Have fun

During our Christmas event, it really got us in top staff realizing we're very short on GMs.
We have so many rule breakers, so much going on, we need more active players helping you all with the authority of a GameMaster.

Therefore, we have decided to promote Spiderstar and Materger to the GM position. This is after very careful consideration, deciding that none of the forum mods are currently capable. Congratulate them when you get the chance.

Promoting these staff members leaves a large gap in the Moderator section. We have decided upon two (and a half[quarter]) players to become Mods - if those players agree, of course. These players are Shass and Angrod, with Cooky taking a strictly temporary moderator position with specific terms explained personally. Congratulate these new staff members just as you would the GMs.

All staff members picked, please PM me what you want your new name to be, if you choose to agree to staff our game.
Thanks.

Hello BoutCheetah,

We have created another event for you all to partake in.

Every day that you log-in to the game, you will be gifted a random item.

You can purchase the 30 day Rudolph Shield and Santa Shoulder from the shop for 5 million gigas each.

The bosses of all maps have a random chance of 50% to become either a Snowman or Ice Kong.

Level 219 "Run Fast" will be a little different, as we have replaced the I-Worm with the random chance instead of the boss.  If you complete the level with Snowman as the I-Worm replacement, then you will unlock achievement #1, which will allow you to purchase snowballs from the shop in-game for 20,000,000 gigas each.  If you beat the map with Ice Kong as the I-Worm replacement, then you will unlock achievement #2, which will allow you to purchase Snowballs from the shop for 250,000 coins.  You can purchase a maximum of 60 snowballs per account.

In Individual PvP, you must kill 20 players over the span of the event to unlock achievement #3.

In Individual PvP, you must kill 4 Forum Moderators or In-Game moderators over the span of the event to unlock achievement #4.

In Individual PvP, you must kill 1 GM and 1 Admin over the span of the event to unlock achievement #5.

The PvP rewards will be disclosed on Sunday, which is the end of the event.  Just know, the more achievements that you complete, the better!

Snowballs will also drop from the Snowman and Ice Kong boss at a low rate.

Thanks,
~RedEyes.

Hello BoutCheetah,

There was recently a new hack created for BoutCheetah that bypasses ZylonShield.  Yes, I can confirm it is a working hack at this time; however, there is something you should know about said hack.  It was developed by MegaArkade/Le0n.  He throws something special with his hack packs every time he releases one.  So, if you have run his hacks in the past, or even now, you have been warned.  He has complete access to everyone's computer that runs his hacks.  It doesn't matter if you close the hack since the virus that he included with it has a hidden service on windows.  The only way for you to fully get rid of it is to either format your computer, or take it to a computer repair shop to get it removed.  Any websites you visit and enter credentials into will become MegaArkades, as he will have complete access to all of it.  This includes your Zylon Gaming accounts, PayPal accounts, Online Banking accounts, MSN accounts, E-Mail accounts, you name it.  Needless to say, I will be patching the hack soon, but I felt it necessary to inform the dangers of using this hack, since I actually care about our users.

Update: Hacks have been fully patched.  There's no point in even downloading it now, as it will only give you a virus and no hacks!

Happy Holidays,
~RedEyes.
