Yeah, the new backstabdmg field in the items table will work for all clients once it is added to actually be factored into the source code. I don't see much of a reason for a rule for this since the new field should make it easy enough to fully customize all bs damage for all items, or even just for specific weapons as needed. If no one else gets the new stats added soon, hopefully I will be able to get to them sometime soon. I tried looking into getting them added already, but there are a few things I wasn't understanding. Usually a second look after taking a break from it will help me to understand it better. If anyone has coding suggestions to implement the new stats, I am all ears.
The rule isn't a bad temporary option if servers wanted to add it to thier source manually for now, but I don't personally think it should be added to the SVN just to be removed shortly after when the new item stat code goes in.
