You must completely remove previous copy of VCMod before updating
The "Autoupdate" edition of VCMod is here.
- This is the last time you have to redownload and update VCMod manually, all will be done automaticaly from now on.*
This update is a complete overhaul of the mod. All server side code has been rewritten, aswel as the majority of all clientside code.
Firstly, I would like to, again, apologise for the time it took to release this long awaited update.
- Serverside performance increased up to 9 times;
- Security has been completely redone, you can feel safe;
** Now, about those new features: **

- Ingame privilages editor, can select who is allowed to edit the admin settings
