Hello community!
So it's finally here: The long awaited release candidate next beta.
We planned to put out a release candidate but because the anticheat api is not ready yet, we decided to put out beta version first.
This is the dev teams first beta version so if anything fails let me know.
The release candidate will follow later (once the anticheat stuff works :P).
Aaand here is the current changelog:
(Note: It includes all changes since Soldat 1.5.0 not just the stuff we did)

HELLL YESSSS!! *multiple nerdgasms*

This is awesome. I just decided to come back to check and see if there was a new version yet, and lo and behold, one was actually released less than an hour before I did this.
Congrats to the new team for getting a new beta release out. At this rate, 1.5.1 is going to be the best version yet.

Problems:
1. Can't configure "move left" key because it does not exist
2. -1, 0, 1 etc. appear in console
3. Can't reload with middle mouse button key. Works
4. Score -> +/- after capping?. Is it + or -, make up your mind?
5. Winner is supposed to be determined by kills, not caps. The winning team is supposed to be determined by caps. Why would anyone kill anybody, if there would be no point?
6. Nades are OP (no more eats)
7. Version text is where the grenade icons are.
8. F5 captures a screenshot of your last kill and also stops/starts music.
-
6. Nades are OP
Could be the realistic mode, mhh?

[20:51:32] <@Zarch> wtf is wrong with this pos
[20:51:39] <@Zarch> it's giving me constant 32 FPS
[20:51:46] <+DutchFl4me> uhh
[20:51:50] <@Zarch> with or without Vsync, and FPS limit set to 60
[20:51:56] <+DutchFl4me> fixed: huge amount of fps lags
[20:52:12] <@Zarch> created: huge amount of fps lags
[20:52:20] <+DutchFl4me> kik
[20:52:29] <+DutchFl4me> you might dont want to turn on the fps limiter
[20:52:31] <@Zarch> I wouldn't even call it lag
[20:52:34] <@Zarch> it's constant
[20:53:31] <@Zarch> loooooool
[20:53:39] <@Zarch> I put the FPS limit to 120
[20:53:45] <@Zarch> now it's staying at 67-68
[20:55:38] <@Zarch> gonna try it in fullscreen
[20:56:26] <@Zarch> yup same thing
-
Weapon statistics dont work and the f1 menu looks bad to me(the separated teams), server info and name is fine though. Anyway good job k.
PS: I will miss the crouch float bug ;<
@edit: fps drop bug occuring for me on every remaked map(lanubya, maya, kampf,ruins,run etc).
Also the new ctf maps are considered bad.
@edit2:[22:00] <@Shoozza_DnD> if its not on the forums it will be forgotten
All the new maps/remakes are bad
-
WHERE IS CTF_GLORY

I presume this is not meant to happen... offline it appears this plain black thing, online it become culurful :L

Getting it with the beta
Changed my FPS limit to 80 and now i can play
-
As you said, EnEsCe added a trigger which can use Ip:Port:Pass:Team...
Does it exist with your release?
In what format I can use it?
-
there we go
-
First: it can't set resolution higher, and whines something like "you must have DirectX 8 or better", even though i have at least DirectX 10(or was it 9? dunno) nvm, it wasn't 1280x800 but 1280x1024, which my comp DOESN'T support.
Second:(http://i52.tinypic.com/1zvu3jc.jpg)
yep. i stood in place, constantly "returning" the flag when it fell down and back up. altho that may be map bug (ctf_scorpion)
well, if meteorisch is correct, i misunderstood.
third: is that admin connectfail fixed?
-
Thanks for the feedback!
The antivirus messages are weird. Just installed adaware and it detects soldat.exe as trojan.
However the weird thing is: No other files I compiled are detected.
I'll reinstall windows within the next 3 days just to be sure...
I will check out all the bugs you posted here after that.
Don't worry I'll read them. Please make sure you include all information I need to fix your bug.
The IRC is currently really active and I can't read all the messages with the pms and mass highlights.
Would be better if you add all your issues here for now then I can read the stuff later when I have time.
-
there's much work ahead but i'm glad something's happening
-
LOL jerkington thats how that map is build.
your target is to catch is and cap it while it falls. Pretty tough huh.
-
there's much work ahead but i'm something's happening
but is there something is happening work ahead? because much is happening something ahead of work in something. im theres much ahead

Soldat looks for ananas.BMP now instead of Banana.BMP = bigtime error
It will not download maps. Crashes soldat if I attempt to download.
-
great work, shoozza!
It's only my first impression, but i love it so much.
-
Thanks for the beta release. I've only got one issue so far.
When running Soldat in VMware (default Soldat settings, VMware 3D graphics hardware acceleration enabled) I only get ~11 FPS. Previous versions (1.5.0 and 1.3.1 tested) run with ~200 FPS.
-
I am sure it's false alarm but still I don't like this!
(http://www.upload.ee/image/1172698/soldatvir.png)
ScriptCore is based on 1.5.0 ?? Why not 1.5.1 with awesome features? MySQL, WorldText ... ?!
-
Can someone post a weapon change-log?
-
Good job, judging by the massive changelog, seems like you guys have done a lot in a short amount of time.
Looking forward to the release candidate.
-
Added Flag throw button. up/down still works.
^-- That's my one and only disappointment. The whole point of changing the way flag is thrown was because people threw it by mistake when accidentally pressing up+down. How about having up+down NOT work if a different key is set? If no custom flag throw key was set - THEN use up+down by default.
Anyway, great job overall. Change log looks very promising, gonna test it in action now. <3
(I should probably fix up my inf_Abel remake..)
Good job, judging by the massive changelog, seems like you guys have done a lot in a short amount of time.
From what I can see, some things were done by EnEsCe. :P
But yeah, even without those the amount of fixes is still pretty massive.
-
Soldat looks for ananas.BMP now instead of Banana.BMP = bigtime error
It will not download maps. Crashes soldat if I attempt to download.
I figured out that downloading a new map works fine, but redownloading a map due to map violation makes it so that it freezes soldat, forcing you to have to delete the map in order to download the new one.
Also, the default texture is "ananas.bmp" instead of "banana.bmp" and there is NO DEFAULT EDGE either.. Either set the defaults BOTH back to Banana or make a new texture and edge named "default.bmp"
-
Is this really where we should post Bugs?
-
Is this really where we should post Bugs?
sure why not. not like its hard for them to read through a few pages of posts compared to using some fucking ridiculous mantis system for inputting bugs like FLAB and enesce tried to do which involved accounts and other crap
-
Modified Spectators can only use Team Chat in Survival Mode while a round is active. Only applies to Spectator team
requesting to undo it as it's completely unnecessery and probably going to be very annoying :(
-
(http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/8254/config.jpg)
No Polish fonts in config.
-
When I try to play online, I get this error:
(http://i51.tinypic.com/30ho2ur.png)
-
E VERYTHING SUCKS!11111
soldat should be centered to the main screen
limit mouse to the game window please, so that win7 popups from the taskbar don't pop up etc
it's annoying when you whole game window disappears randomly
OK BUTTON NO WORK IN LANG TAB IN CONFIG
-
Fixed InterfaceText/Image custom resolution scaling
What exactly is it supposed to do? I tried multiple custom interfaces, but they're all still misaligned and fixed to 640x480 (both in fullscreen and windowed mode).
Any hopes of having for interfaces use anchors in the near future?
P.S. I also have a bug with a missing "Move Left" button in the controls section.
-

But yeah, even without those the amount of fixes is still pretty massive.
I seriously doubt that. I'm sure the current guys had to go through the trouble and undo what EnEsCe did to the game.

Facing some issues with the FPS even on solo.
And the weapon menu's been overlapping on my screen 800x600, and higher, which has never happened before.
-
"Modifier players can not see enemy team chat in Realistic mode if the enemy player is not visible"
well, now I have to modify my "I'm here!" or "Can't see me!" taunts... sigh
-
meh i noticed crouchbug while testing it. :/
Unfortunatelly i was killed before i could record that.
And flag can be thrown through flagger collide polygons, so they in fact don't stop the flagger.
-
Too bad no Chatmod integration =P
Nice work :)
-
Having modified background colour in a map results in "wrong map version" error. As suggested here (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=38165.0), one should be allowed to decide the colour by oneself.
The key for flag throwing is pretty silly at the moment. Currently it's just W+S behind one keystroke - this causes the soldier to jump or roll while throwing. Also, as Loner pointed out, eliminating the possibility of accidental throwing was the main reason for the suggestion and it's not changed.
Too bad no Chatmod integration =P
This.
-
- Fixed editing a maps colours and not getting kicked for wrong map version.
Modified calculations of checksums for maps
Definitely unnecessary. Soldat checked if any polygon type, position, or amount of polygons was changed, but allowed for color modification. My entire mod is based around this fact and I have always had different color mods -> http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=39626.0
That's why I enjoy Soldat, for its modding capabilities to make the game look how I want to play it. Honestly, if I have to play without my colorful mods (I have several others) I won't play much longer.

Nice work :)
yes

*The weapon stats at F1 - F2 dont work...
*In inf Bravo team can capture FLAG!!!
*The nades are shown as soldat version "1.5.1.20"
*the /mercy bug still works
*It gets sometimes changing weapons from same and it goes so
-deagles switch mp5 switch ak74 switch steyr switch spas12 ???
*and a bug i buy a weapon "ak spas" and it gets something like blinking from visible to invisible and i cant shoot i only got fists then :-\
*But anyway the weapons balance is pretty good i like the barrett but! its reload is weird :o its reloads for 1 SECOND!
and i think i seen much more bugs but im so tired i continue tomorow with the bug list ;)
PS.The F1 is now much better :)
-
So, bug reports so far:
- Missing "Move Left" button in controls.
- In scoreboard: you should increase spacing above team separators. Right now team names in scoreboard are too close to elements above (nicknames, top of the scoreboard).
- Crouch bug is still there, happened to me and someone else 2 times. (YOU LIIIIEEEEEEDD TO US!!!!! </3)
- Can't drop LAW while it's reloading (I think it's a relatively old bug, but since flamer is fixed - might as well fix the LAW, especially since it's used more often than flamer).
- Weapon stats are blank in multiplayer (the stats window is visible, but no weapons or stats for them are shown). Someone (Mexer, I think) said that it worked for him in multiplayer, but then he went to change some settings, came back and stats stopped working for him too.
- Weird numbers appear in console every now and then.
First it was like this: they started at -1 and then kept decreasing every 15-20 seconds. If I switch servers - they didn't reset, they'd just pick up from the last value and keep decreasing. They would only reset to 0 if I restarted the game. In multiplayer they seemed to appear each time I got a kill (and would decrease by -1), but sometimes they appeared when I didn't kill anyone.
Then: I further tested this with bots in single player, and numbers seemed to appear less often. This time they appeared more randomly and less when I killed the bots.
Then.. something happened: I threw the flag with the G button, and suddenly those numbers started reacting to my mouse's scrolling wheel. If I scrolled down - the value would decrease, and if I scrolled up - it would increase with every scroll. Restarting the game would reset the value back to 0, but now it's still tied to scrolling wheel. :/ I went back to the server to test in online, and it also was tied to the wheel. So it doesn't appear randomly anymore but instead changes with every wheel scroll.
What I tried to fix this: assigning/unassigning/reassigning something to the scrolling wheel, reassigning flag throw button, using different profiles - same thing (scroll wheel increases/decreases the value and spams numbers in the console).
Other comments:
- When creating a new profile - it should create a default "Major" profile, and not copy the one you're currently using.
- Isn't SOCOM a bit too powerful now? It's a lot faster and seems to have better range than before. It's much more fun to play with, but in in terms of balance it now seems superior to other secondaries. actually I guess it's ok, since other secondaries are pretty-much one-shots...
- Fast reload for barrett is unnecessary IMHO. It's not really a big issue since 10 ammo is already more than enough, but a long reload should still be there to prevent camping for too long. It may even be worth lowering the amount of ammo in one clip to, maybe, 5-6?
- Will Moonshine, Rise and Warehouse remakes be added for testing? Also Krab remake (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=39706.0).
-
I have absolutely no idea how you people press W+S by accident. It's never happened to me, but maybe it's because I'm left-handed. If it's really that big of a problem you can just go around it with AutoHotkey (http://www.autohotkey.com/):
#IfWinActive, Soldat ; only if Soldat's window is active
~w & s::return ; remap "[S] while holding [W]" to nothing
~s & w::return ; remap "[W] while holding [S]" to nothing
CapsLock:: ; remap [CapsLock] to...
Send {w down}{s down} ; 1) press and hold [W] and [S]
Sleep 100 ; 2) wait 0.1 s
Send {w up}{s up} ; 3) release [W] and [S]
return ; end of block
#IfWinActive ; end of "only if Soldat's window is active"Install AutoHotkey, make a new text file anywhere on your disk, paste the code above, save, change the file's extension to AHK (you need to have displaying extensions turned on) and run the file.
It'll remap key combination [W]+[
Of course, remapping capslock is useful only for versions prior to 1.5.1, as it seems to have dedicated button for throwing the flag.
-
Uhm I still have the old bug, that when someones black, and you cannot see this person ingame shooting you. But in f1 he's noticed as a spectator.
(http://i52.tinypic.com/wp5qe.jpg)
As you can see on the top right of the death console hes/her name is black.
This is a old known bug, not sure if it was supposed to be gone with this version though.

lol... not related to soldat beta... that's my script, and it's bugged (I was testing my server script publicly) :/
-
Another bug, which was introduced in 1.5: when trying to start a vote - you no longer see messages "you have to wait 2 minutes after joining the server" or "you have to wait 2 minutes after your last vote". Nothing is displayed in the console.
Also, unicode doesn't seem to work (a 1.5.1 bug, I think)

^-- That's my one and only disappointment. The whole point of changing the way flag is thrown was because people threw it by mistake when accidentally pressing up+down. How about having up+down NOT work if a different key is set? If no custom flag throw key was set - THEN use up+down by default.
Word.
From what I can see, some things were done by EnEsCe. :P
But yeah, even without those the amount of fixes is still pretty massive.
I seriously doubt that. I'm sure the current guys had to go through the trouble and undo what EnEsCe did to the game.
I doubt that the ongoing dev-team didn't do any changes but as far as I can see most of the changes are from EnEsCe. I don't wanna start a discussion but give him the props he deserves. Just check the old changelog from v1.5.1.b12.
- Crouch bug is still there, happened to me and someone else 2 times. (YOU LIIIIEEEEEEDD TO US!!!!! </3)
No, EnEsCe lied. This fix is from him. And it also didn't work in his latest builds.
Too bad no Chatmod integration =P
Oh yeah, pls!
And I've uploaded the Installer to VirusTotal (https://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/report.html?id=34a353a68a9a3f12ff0de845906fb61181aa87ecaa84093a31276945b1f88fcc-1299379822) (and also to Jotti (http://virusscan.jotti.org/en/scanresult/2fe45d82042b918bf6a619a9baf618b1b3706ffd)). Only two hits, definitely false positives.
But one thing is interesting:TimeStamp: 2011:02:09 13:43:39+01:00
Is it really that old? So you had one month of internal testing or is this timestamp wrong?
-----
At long last: Devs, pls remember what has had happend the last time we had a public beta-version. There where 15 beta-builds and finally even a release candidate (aka build 15). But this whole procedure took more than six months as far as I can remember. And after some weeks nobody cared for the beta anymore (at least the test-servers where empty). Pls don't do the same. Do not choose the Firefox-like way. Don't try to make the next version perfect. What we only need is another "final" version. A version which replaces the old one. So that everyone needs to update the client. So that after one-two weeks the majority of servers use the newest version. It's not about a bugless version. Who cares if the new version will have some flaws? We are used to this and still we played it like crazy.
Why I'm saying this? Because we need some action/publicity which also reaches the non-forumers and the casual-players. We need to stop the decreasing player-count. And we also need some more forumers. So: Go for small releases (like Mozilla's gonna do with the next versions - Firefox 5's schedule is in approx. three-four months btw). Try to fix only the most important bugs in this version and then go for the 1.5.1 FINAL.
Don't get me wrong - I appreciate everything what you've done but I'm fearing again that in some weeks it will be the same situation as before...

I agree. Today I've had some really fun matches with a lot of people from SF, but now it's almost 10PM and all beta servers are almost dead. I really hope that people are just taking a break and not abandoning beta completely.
Also.. got more work for you, guys. :P
When trying to run modded Soldat using starter.exe - Soldat doesn't start up. No error messages, no anything, starter just closes but the game doesn't launch. Non-modded Soldat starts just fine when using starter.
-
Thank you guys for your work and effort.
But... there are some bugs, as usual :P
1. I have some kind of artifacts that looks like underline chars that randomly blinks in game (some of them have constant coordinates): screen1 (http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/6153/screenshot11030601.jpg), screen2 (http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/5416/screenshot11030610.jpg)
(http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/5416/screenshot11030610.jpg)
2. Same issues with FPS limiter mentioned above ("60" = real 32fps, "120" = 67fps)
N.B. WinXP SP3 & ATI HD 5700 series graphics card
- "Modified pressing escape while typing will now clear chat buffer"
Good, but why it shows Esc menu 1st in this case. Why not just close and clear message/command console on Esc.
- Why "ctf_B2b" was renamed into "ctf_b2b"
-

Judging by its position I'd say it has something to do with the in-game lobby chat window (one that opens with "~" button).
-
Another "bug":
- Config.exe --> Network --> Internet Connection Speed --> it's empty
But actually: What does this even change? If it changes some settings which could improve the connection somehow then pls update it to the 21st centure. Noone uses 56k or ISDN any more. Let us choose between download-speed like "1Mbit/s", "2Mbit/s", "3Mbit/s", "6Mbit/s", "10Mbit/s", "12Mbit/s", "16Mbit/s", "20Mbit/s", "25Mbit/s", etc.

That's true?
Maybe it's the why that I feel the game too 'heavy'...

first things i found.
1. weapon statistic (f1+f2) dont shows anything on multiplayer - it works only on singleplayer. also why dont make it on f5? would be much better than clicking first f1 then f2.
2. fps limiter dont works for me. on multiplayer and single player, full screen and not full screen ;> just dont work.
3. when i do 'auto record' in config(it makes demos automatically without pressing f8 ingame) i cant do it off by pressing f8 ingame cuz it starts next demo automatically... idk do that was going to works like that.
4. when i do vote for an map(by pressing esc then vote map then find map and vote) and im not enought time on server or just voted there show an message "you have to wait 2 minutes(...)" and also when i vote for any map by command like "/votemap ctf_Ash" there dont show any message - its old bug but would be nice to fix it.
5. did you changed polygons in maps? for example i can go into tower in airpirates cuz there is some doesn't collide polygons:
(http://www.iv.pl/images/05053135764939844778.png)
i have one question... did you make any chages in net code? i mean fixing hits and eats cuz this is most importand thing, dont it?
also an suggestion to add...
it would be great when i can do config ingame and change taunts, i mean to add an tab bar where it will be possible - all ingame.
sorry for possible bad eng ;>
-
all the bugs i've seen so far are already reported, i just wanna say good the beta is here but im not that happy.. many bugs still there and i've seen on the beta more bugs then on current soldat version :O well its beta... but more bugs^^? (beside the new features flag trow - new button and such stuff)
hopefully there will come fast fixes :D the litle bee's here reported the bugs quick :D xD

Antialiasing is disabled in vista/win7 because it fucks up for some reason, sorry you feel that way about tigran afaik the things removed are the transparent polygon mountains if you feel like doing those into images and putting them in the background I can add that version instead. or just remove it up to you really.
No idea why the left button isnt there is on my screen.... will be fixed though no worries.

That particular airpirates bug was fixed but seems to have missed makeing it into the beta will be fixed.
When I try to play online, I get this error:
(http://i51.tinypic.com/30ho2ur.png)
Most likely your wmi is borked anyways contact me and we will try to sort it out.
Having modified background colour in a map results in "wrong map version" error. As suggested here (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=38165.0), one should be allowed to decide the colour by oneself.
The key for flag throwing is pretty silly at the moment. Currently it's just W+S behind one keystroke - this causes the soldier to jump or roll while throwing. Also, as Loner pointed out, eliminating the possibility of accidental throwing was the main reason for the suggestion and it's not changed.
Too bad no Chatmod integration =P
This.
The flagthrow is like that because thats how the netcode works, on the background color I will add a override background color option just hasnt got around to do it yet.
Thanks for the beta release. I've only got one issue so far.
When running Soldat in VMware (default Soldat settings, VMware 3D graphics hardware acceleration enabled) I only get ~11 FPS. Previous versions (1.5.0 and 1.3.1 tested) run with ~200 FPS.
I will add more options for the fps limiting like disabling of it as well as choosing to run lower resolution timers that dont use as much cpu.
I presume this is not meant to happen... offline it appears this plain black thing, online it become culurful :L
Will add the missing scenery for the next upcoming release.
-
Ok after some time of testing on normal mode ctf here's my thoughts:
- The F1+F2 wep stats go blank after a while
- The nades still stick in the ground and bounce buggly with the trail pointing upwards (I really wanted that to be fixed)
- The new poly stuff: If you are red and you carry the blue flag, you can't get into, let's say, your team's spawn base. - but you can still Throw it, and the one who grabs it IN the spawnbase can't get out until they throw it as well.
<may come up with more after a modification>
The weapons:
- DE are too underpowered
- barrett's reloading is ROFL
- socom is so fast it's funny
- ruger is a bit overpowered
- knife seems to take less dmg?
- minigun's power: beast. (overpowered)
- great job on the chainsaw - no reload time ftw
That's my thoughts so far.

Move your thoughts to the weapon balance section. The devs have actually nothing to do with the balance; and you could've already tried out the balance for months in #Soldat.gather IRC channel with the rest of the "clan scene", with the real PROS who consider the balance to be better than the old one. Including me.
-
Awesome! I love you guys! Just one question aside: will default maps be replaced by newer, fancier, less buggy and totally cooler maps?
-
@DC from what i've experienced new maps/remakes are usually worse than the original maps. That's how it is now tho
-

We just have to get used to them.
People always whine the new maps are bad.

For all I care, the changelog never mentioned anything about that, and they've added Tigran in as a new default map, so go have fun with that one.
-

Fryer will update polyworks shortly.
Regarding Fps Limiting I have added Two options:
1. Enabling disabling of high resolution timers which kills the fps on some lowerend machines.
2. Enabling disabling of fps limitation.
It should be noted though if you enable fps limitation without high resolution timers you will basically lock fps at ~60 fps because of the low resolution of the timer used, and the amount of fps you set as limit doesnt really matter.
-
Getting LOOOOTS of virus-alerts. Cant even install it. Im using ESET NOD 32 Antivir.
And, what the fuck is wrong with the soldat config?
-
Regarding not being able to change backgroundcolor
Added Option to Force a different bgcolor then the one specified by the map and being able to set that bgcolor for example:
-
I just hop in to say: Good job. :)
-
ermm I suppose that's sorta cool for modders...
There seems to be many bugs in this beta however.
New stats (f1 then f2) is a cool idea. However, issues:
1. Does not work online.
2. Works in offline. If going from offline to online, it transfers the stats (is it meant to do that? if so I'd make sub options to display 'All-time' stats or 'current' stats). So online I have the all the stats from my offline game, and they don't update at all.

Localizations:
1. I forgot to mention that cyrillic charset (possibly some others too) still doesn't work (since one of previous 1.5.1 betas): old mantis report (http://bugs.soldat.pl/view.php?id=520)
2. Updated version of Russian localization has been posted here (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=37276.0).
3. Config.exe uses default English localization Font1 (BankGothic Lt BT) only and doesn't apply font changes for itself after changing language setting.

I have strange problem. I have 22" Monitor 1680x1050. Everytime I start soldat i get 4:3 screen. It was normal before.
[edit]
On INF mode Bravo is scoring too fast!

quick questions (dunno if they've already been asked)
1) how secure is the hwid? can a hacker modify his (aside from physically using a different computer or parts)? does every player necessarily have a different hwid from everyone else (ie: is it collision proof)?
2) is the flamethrower's hit registration better? it pretty much almost NEVER works.
3) can we use custom images for InterfaceText/Image in the scriptcore? what images are allowed
4) What is refreshX?
5) What are the reasons for limiting the number of images or texts or bigtexts etc. in the scriptcore? is it cuz slow computers will have trouble with it, or just so script writers won't abuse it? it'd be nice if the limit were higher (or even if different scripts running at the same time have their own set of ID's for these things so that one script's drawings doesn't overwrite another's (but that seems rather difficult to change i admit)) :)
thnx! looking forward to making new game modes with these new features!
edit:
also, is this new version causing 1.5.0's lobby not working?
edit2:
also, may i suggest implementing a scriptcore function as follows:
Convert(from:String, to:String)
to replace all the IDtoName, IPtoID etc.
for example: Convert("hwID", "name");

check this (https://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/report.html?id=34a353a68a9a3f12ff0de845906fb61181aa87ecaa84093a31276945b1f88fcc-1299415875). there is no malware in it. it's just a false-positive.

- Having less then 6 profiles (witch most people have), Pressing Page Down when selecting profiles causes error message: List index out of bounds.
- Mouse sensitivity still increases/decreases by 5%
- Tabbing highlight in menus are in strange orders, for example in 'player' tab the jet color is the last in order instead of secondary weapon.
-
yeah, still get the FPS drop "bug". not sure what it is. after 10 - 15 minutes of gameplay, suddenly soldat decided to eat up all my CPU and the game drops to 5 - 8 FPS, which is obviously unplayable. also in this state, certain mouse clicks don't register, so i'll be stuck jetpacking or automatically firing.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18787702/massivefps.png)
i'm playing in windowed mode (set at 90%), i have altered the settings (setting bitrate to 16, turned off rendered polys/backgrounds, even less particles etc) and yeah, same issue.
from what i can play though, this is sweet as hell. so good work with that. it seems a lot faster paced, and a lot smoother. really looking forward to playing.

my first guess would be that avast has something to do with it.. /uninstall, totally unnecessary to have avast :P
also try fullscreen; soldat performs better in fullscreen

As far as I know it's still there. You don't have to do anything. Just press w+s to throw the flag. New custom button doesn't change anything.

Hope this will answer some of your questions:
- I don't know the exact method Devs used to create hardware IDs but it's very likely that a skilled hacker will be able to change his HWID
- Refreshx is a packet sent by server. It contains info about players, flags, scores, map, time, etc. Check http://devs.soldat.pl/wiki/index.php?title=Refreshx for more info.

A skilled hacker maybe, the "average Joe" that are 99% of soldat players won't be able to. So, at last, the bans will actually mean something in this game.
-
Well, he asked about hackers... True, average Soldat player probably won't be able to change his HWID without actually changing his hardware.
So, at last, the bans will actually mean something in this game.
Yep, finally. 75% of Polish players have dynamic IPs and banning whole range wasn't really a good solution.

What about VM's?

I've got an issue with choppy frame rate that wasn't present in 1.5.0. Every second the screen skips, as if the game was only drawing 59 frames per second out of a possible 60, having one frame incorporate twice as much movement as the other 58.
I've fiddled around with the FPSLimit, Vertical Sync, Refresh rate, Backbuffer Count and Troubleshooting. The only solution I found was to use an FPSLimit that was twice as high as my monitor's refresh rate (2x60 Hz). An FPSLimit of 60-119 gives a choppy frame rate. This was a very unintuitive solution to a problem that shouldn't ever occur.
I hope Soldat one day gets to be brought into the 21st century with forced triple buffering, page flipping, and a refresh rate that equals the monitor's. The only options that users should need are resolution and whether to run in fullscreen.

I've got an issue with choppy frame rate that wasn't present in 1.5.0. Every second the screen skips, as if the game was only drawing 59 frames per second out of a possible 60, having one frame incorporate twice as much movement as the other 58.
I've fiddled around with the FPSLimit, Vertical Sync, Refresh rate, Backbuffer Count and Troubleshooting. The only solution I found was to use an FPSLimit that was twice as high as my monitor's refresh rate (2x60 Hz). An FPSLimit of 60-119 gives a choppy frame rate. This was a very unintuitive solution to a problem that shouldn't ever occur.

I got the same thing
- Could not find scenery: fx_li_beam2-sk.png (Aero by BN)
I will check if there are any more maps missing scenery.
Edit - I get some strange edges on Eagle_Arrow's Feast and Tower by R1kko
Edit - Turning off render smooth polygons fixed it.
I did not find any more missing scenery

That's the first option I had to change, I put a very high number to simulate older behavior.

Hope this will answer some of your questions:
- I don't know the exact method Devs used to create hardware IDs but it's very likely that a skilled hacker will be able to change his HWID
- Refreshx is a packet sent by server. It contains info about players, flags, scores, map, time, etc. Check http://devs.soldat.pl/wiki/index.php?title=Refreshx for more info.
A skilled hacker maybe, the "average Joe" that are 99% of soldat players won't be able to. So, at last, the bans will actually mean something in this game.
1) Figure out the method
2) make a tool and release it to the public
3) people play w/o bans.
:)

There's still that so called IP-"ban" if everything else (also) fails

even though i use spas a lot it is better not to have infinite shots. problem is that spas was not superior in the game. only thing good about was 2 hits to kill (3 most of the time -_-' because of lag and stuff) and repeating shots. you prevent repeating shots you added +5 reaload -1 ammo time and made other weapons powerfull.
my opinion is that 8 or maybe 9 ammo for spas and no +5 reload maybe even -5. it has never been a superior even lost its best specialty and still making it worse. +1 dmg 122 to 123 is wortless
i dont know if am correct with it but spas also kicks less when fired
remove barets bink and no need for "bink" in weapons.ini lol
no bink at minimi,steyr and ak nothing to talk about just ridiculous.
lots of players at gather complaning about steyr.it was a pretty good even with decreased to 25 ammo no need to make it superior weapon of the game
knife could increase in damage to kill from far throws
Knife dmg -10000 1.4.2 to 1.5
ruger could have some more damage or less movementacc
Added ingame Weapon Statistics for Registered players (Press F2 while in the F1 menu) not working ?? new menu comes HS % etc. is ok but no statics seen
most people didn't like the new ruins
snakebite :
player easily pass through the poly left of the red flag/right of the blue flag. happened 5 times in 2 maps
-
haven't checked, but has this bug been fixed?!
When you get hit by an old, stray, weak bullet, your bink goes up sooo much ridiculously more than otherwise. please fix this!
-
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18787702/INTEGER.png)
what even causes this problem? i know its been talked to death (and for me is fixable by a simple restart) but i thought i'd throw this in here just in case.
-
Added Flag throw button up/down still works.
up/down still works.
Please tell me you can choose which way you want it to work?
I'm happy for the button, but if up/down still works, then it defeats the whole purpose.
The reason it was bad, is that each time I want to do a cannonball move (very fast horizontal movement trick, it requires you to press up/down to execute) while I was carrying a flag, it threw it away almost always, making the whole thing pointless. The move is extremely useful, but this kills it.
If you'd give a choice for player to EITHER use the flag throw button or up/down, I'd be the fastest and happiest flag runner in the world.

About flag throw:
The flagthrow is like that because thats how the netcode works
So yeah, too bad. :(
first things i found.
5. did you changed polygons in maps? for example i can go into tower in airpirates cuz there is some doesn't collide polygons:
(http://www.iv.pl/images/05053135764939844778.png)
That particular airpirates bug was fixed but seems to have missed makeing it into the beta will be fixed.
Whaaaaaat? I thought that passage was supposed to be there. :|
And no way removing it is a good thing. That passage at the base of the lighthouse is first of all: A nice shortcut and makes the gameplay a little more fast paced. Secondly: it's always fun to try and kill someone at the top of the lighthouse while hiding in the passage at the bottom of the light house.
Only thing that should be done about it is making more clear which parts of the lighthouse you can walk/shoot through, and which you cant.

About flag throw:

Cannot compute. Why not?
I mean they have the friggin source code in their hands. It can't be hard to turn off flag throwing to be triggered through up/down. Right?
-
@numgun I like it the way it is now(w+s) so you must not forget players like me and tell devs to make it configurable. Both w+s & button or button or w+s. I Hope shoozza read all these posts and make a big ass reply with a lot of fixes :D
@down
The more configurable Soldat is the better. W+S have been signed as flag throwing keys forever plus why didint anyone think of setting it to one key throughout all these years.?(answer: cause its superior :)

Either WS or custom key should be enough. I don't think there are many people who absolutely MUST have BOTH of those working at the same time.
To me there's not even much point in keeping WS either. IMHO a single key is much easier to press and is superior to WS in every way.
-
With single key it's much harder to perform power throws, at least for me.
-
you wont press one time. it is going to be like knife throwing i guess
-
The netcode was improved in any way? I hate eaters :P
edit - fixing typos
-

Power throwing is a bug, why should it be noted?
I honestly cannot see how could pressing two keys be easier than pressing only one key.
-
I got a bug; Negative value bullets drop through ground.

(http://www.imagebanana.com/view/i7j2maar/numbers.png)
red numbers at writing console happens when you move the mouse wheel. has no limit goes over 4000 :D
ruins when a flag carrier dies near red point flag sticks there. you can't return because it is too close to flags normal place so you cap there under bridge :D

Same for me. :( Guess I'll simply forget about the idea of playing ctf.
-

I hope it wasn't, else they didn't do a good job with it.
PS: There's a horrible polybug on snakebite map, on the flagspots, it turns into quicksands after you throw the flag away (Or more like parts of the ground are 'only *team* flag carrier doesn't collide' ones ;p), feex eet.

oh wat they edited snakebite lol
i thought they didnt touched it
-
At all it's great job.Good that most of weirdish bugz fixed...oh yeah.
Waiting for official release and for transferring all servers to new version.
-
Yeah im still skeptical will this bring soldat back now i entered soldat and the server with most players is a 7men Teammach ("Yes i removed all Filers") sad all other servers are 6 or less players :-[
-
Anything we can expect now? Updates aka release? also Anticheat ? anything to be happening from now?
-

LOL
this problem reminds me of the old base Nuubia
-
Fixed Raycasting for bots so that they dont try to walk through a opc and grab a flag grenade etc.
About time, yeah? lol, never even thought about this change o.o
-
Nice to see some progress. Thanks, devs!

I am happy cuz of this beta but...
I opened config.Chosen my videocard which is veeery old(1999 year,maybe)
Chosen all setting which works on my 1.5.0...launched soldat...
Firstly i haven't seen registration window.I was surprised and thought that i am lucky and needn't to pay for it
Second: i opened Myltiplayer button,requested for servers list,chosen one and pressed "Join Game"
My soldat finished it's work.I was surprised again.
Again launched it and tried again,ftw
Again soldat closed himself
Then i launched it again and started deathmatch.Tried to start,need to say*
My soldat started choosing resolutions between 640x480 to 1280x1024 few times.
Then it closed.
I did it again and again,changed some settings but nothing helped me!
WTF?
If it cuz of my wood PC so i am agains this version :D

Well done mens, some things in beta version looks like impressive. :)

I would like that the rain,snow and sand storm collides with poliy's i hate maps when rain and snow gets in the houses bunkers caves :(

I have absolutely no idea how you people press W+S by accident. It's never happened to me, but maybe it's because I'm left-handed. If it's really that big of a problem you can just go around it with AutoHotkey (http://www.autohotkey.com/):
#IfWinActive, Soldat ; only if Soldat's window is active
~w & s::return ; remap "[S] while holding [W]" to nothing
~s & w::return ; remap "[W] while holding [S]" to nothing
CapsLock:: ; remap [CapsLock] to...
Send {w down}{s down} ; 1) press and hold [W] and [S]
Sleep 100 ; 2) wait 0.1 s
Send {w up}{s up} ; 3) release [W] and [S]
return ; end of block
#IfWinActive ; end of "only if Soldat's window is active"Install AutoHotkey, make a new text file anywhere on your disk, paste the code above, save, change the file's extension to AHK (you need to have displaying extensions turned on) and run the file.
It'll remap key combination [W]+[
Of course, remapping capslock is useful only for versions prior to 1.5.1, as it seems to have dedicated button for throwing the flag.
Ok, I tried it and it works.
But...
It's useless because it makes the fake cannon ball move impossible.

Added Score Board (F1) will now display the current Server Name at the top left corner
Modified Score Board (F1) has been redesigned for team-based game modes
Modified changing mouse sensitivy ingame now increases/decreases by 1% per button press rather than 5
well done by myself ;)

Jesus, when can we expect something, 3 months are now over aren't they ahahaha

I'm busy for next 2, 3 months so the RC will have to wait.
Sadly, everyone else seems to be busy too.
I'll do my best to get the RC out when im back.
Btw. Beard.length := 0;

enesce "fixed" this 1% to 5% by my sugestion on mantis. I use 200% for DE and 80% for aug/barret and 130% autos, i cant change faster enough on 5s respaw to those values with only 1%. Please consider that.

How can I modify this script to remap "[S] while holding [W]" to [S] ?
Thank you.

It never happened to me to drop flag accidentally and i play soldat for 5-6 years.
PS.
I think its just cause most people are morons,trolls and idiots that cant play normally a game witough doing any shit the "W" + "S" drop is for me the only and will stay the only drop function in solldat

I didn't hear the name of it until recently, altho i have known about it since forever. Are you sure it was named fake canon ball 5-6 years ago?

now this is what im talking about, http://corkboard.me/view/ccd898fbf94199d537728bfc50f2df05d51ce2d1
not a single letter changed for what time has it been up like 1,5 months?
-
That surely is one interesting corkboard. But I guess it was meant to stay internal doesn't it?
-
No, shoozza has shared the link in his IRC channel before.
-
+ he said that he'll be now away for a month due to real life (probably school).

when im about to join/create a game there's a access violation that appears as far as i select a team
"Access violation at address 005E5485 in module 'Soldat.exe'. Read of address 00000000."

So it's been 2/3 months, going to finish it yet?
