Soldat 1.5.0 Beta Release Candidate
« on: February 26, 2009, 08:48:10 am »
Hurraaaa!!! Soldat 1.5.0d Release Candidate is now available for public download. This is basically the exact Map List, Weapon Mod, and Changelog that I wan’t to release with. Ofcourse there will be plenty of bugs to fix. I am hoping there will be lots of online testing going on this time since the Dedicated Server also being released.
If player’s don’t hang around and try get a Beta Server active, they wont reach a decent number of players; resulting in possible missed bug discoveries. Here are the two official 1.5.0 Beta Test Servers:
 Europe: IP: eu1.enesce.com Port: 23073
 America: IP: server1.enesce.com Port: 23092

Please remember, do not overwrite your existing Soldat 1.4.2 installation. This is not the current official Soldat version! Tell your friends to try 1.5.0d, and play online as often as possible.

but it seems to me that when i go to weapons menu it starts lagging
Last year, I dreamt I was pissing at a restroom, but I missed the urinal and my penis exploded.

Haha nice job, Enesce! :)  I might be able to help translate some of the stuff, but not sure exactly how.

Anyways, e-tastic work! 8)

EDIT: Okay, I found the 'deutsch' part, and I see some of it is already translated and some if it isn't so I am going to try to finish up the rest.  :D

Good.. good except one thing. Why the heck did u not include Voland? I just don't get it, Voland is not one of those maps u can through away from the game. Its like deleting Ash or Laos. Its one of the old school maps. Its one of the very few map in the game where skill, and not the lag matters. Why don't u delete Kampf Viet Snakebite, all those maps, where goddamn spray and lag rulez, but not the skill. Very, extremely dissapointed. MFM2 looks somewhat like voland, but its no match to it. Think about it twice before releasing the official version.
PS
Srsly no offence, u've done the great job on that one... but thats the one thing u r going to make a big mistake on.

No maps are being removed. Any missing maps are the mistake of the beta testers who packed the map list, just report them without jumping to conclusions.

Firstly this is probably off topic. And Most of this shiz has been talked about and denied. Ban me for a week, whatever.

Soldat really needs more changes than just bug fixes.
1. Moving polys. (I'm not a programmer, but people figured out how to do it twenty years ago, surely you can). :-X
2. Maybe, new weapons. Not just 1% more damage for spaz, or shiz. :-X
3. New game types. I dunno. Use your imagination! :-X
4. Maybe make all these scripts people are making into normal server settings.
So not just programmers can have good servers. And than you could fix many script bugs alot easier, making this shiz way more fun. Oh noes. I said Shiz. :-X
5. I have much "MOAR" shiz, but it would probably change Soldat way too much. Plus I stayed up all night.  :-X

Oh, first thing on topic.
I'll download it when my internet cap restarts. I should stop downloading 50 minute lez porns.
Oh. And  a bug I don't think you fixed. Bots not firing when they hold flag. =\

Yeah, in the current version bots dont fire when they are holding a flag either.  I think it should be fixed so they can shoot and hold the flag, especially if you put bot strength to like "advanced".
