some sort of new reloading bug, seems to happen with spas but has happened with other weapons apparently?
it happened with me with spas. i spawned with 0 bullets and had to reload. it happened to johnny and timmeeh also:
<+Johnnye> Timst4r did you get that reloading bug too???
<Timst4r> ye
<+Johnnye> cause i faggot respawned with 0 bullets 40% of the time
<@Control-> what about
<@Control-> spas?
<+dicko> spawns with 0 - 2 bullets
<+dicko> like 60% of the time
<@Control-> maybe someone is glitching spas
<@Control-> ever thought of that?
<+dicko> no dude it happened to me and like 2 other people
<+dicko> during the gather
<@Control-> ahh
<@Control-> just
<@Control-> happened
<@Control-> to me
<@Control-> LOL
<@Control-> LOL
<@Control-> IT HAPPENS
<@Control-> WHEN MINIMI
<@Control-> RELOADS
one or two people reporting of reduced framerate but that might be fixed with a reset since this is all very new.
good work on the update though, glad to see the jets have been fixed and the no self-bink nade hold thing too.
-
Lol, a few fast fixes needed i see, nevertheless great work!

You should install the patch into the existing Soldat 1.6.0 folder.
Looks like its the wrong path you are trying to install.
You can also try full clean instead.

Good work Shoozza & Devs!
I'd like to give it a try but I'm now under Mac.. Anyways, you're on the right track buddies!
-
Is MSAC implemented yet? I'm not on a computer.
-
I got the spas reloading bug as well.
For all the people getting errors: Try installing to C:/Soldat
-
Great release!
Nice to see that the adds are minor and the fixes are major =D
Still no map updates huh?
-I saw you some fixes on some maps :P
-

-
Good job guys, cant wait to see some cool stuff added in the next releases.

It's been in Soldat for a while now, but the previous installations had no default sound. I've been using the UT announcer headshot for ages.

In DM games one always seems to be set to spectator on join. I wrote a small soldat script to fix this, so DM server owners try to unzip this in scripts folder:

Thanks for mirrors, Oliver! Btw. how is it going about AC...? :)

my problem is hits counter (under f2) doesn't work like it should. it counts shots but no hits (just kills with headstots). it worked fine in 1.6.0.

Devs were makieng there something new so they could also to make broken something other too... :P Just report it to BugTracker...
-
So when can we expect a new hotfix?
-
Mhm, it would be nice if Soldat had a built-in updater... It would download new patches itself. We would never have to wait for some bigger update to fix some little bugs ;)

- Fixed Spas Reload button not working when you press it while you can't shoot (shooting delay)
i think this fix went wrong...

I installed Soldat 1.6.1 but it's much lag I can not even play because he gets off very slow and giving many lags when I press "esc" to exit the game takes 2 minutes to display the menu.
I do not know if this is the version or is my PC.
If anyone knows to solve this problem please tell me how do I fix this because I want to play and I can not.
My PC is Windows XP 64-bit 512 RAM and video card 64 MB (VIA/S3G UniChrome IGP) and my processor is Celeron 2.26 Ghz.

Yeah this was added by accident.
Happened when I moved files from the different repositories around.
I will remove it if you are annoyed by it (you can delete it without any issues).

My bad, I've already fixed it so it will be in the next release.
So when can we expect a new hotfix?
We wont wait a month this time. So expect it in a few days (depends on how active the other devs are with fixing).

You had issues with fonts before?
Please run Soldat with logging enabled.
And attach the log file.

It works fine for me, there's just a lack of updated servers at the moment.
yes I can't seem to get my enesce server to switch to 1.6.1 i tried the patch...
-
Because enesce has to do it for you idiot.

I don't think it is necessary to call him an idiot. Please try to keep a nice tone here.
If you are annoyed/angry because of some stuff use pm's.
Thanks.

EnEsCe saves the soldatserver executable somewhere else on this server AFAIK (so that you can't upload executables to exploit his server etc).
You have to wait for him to update his servers.

I'm pretty sure he uses the same technique FLAB and I use for the u13 rentals--a symlinked binary so changing one file updates all the servers.
He'll just have to wait for EnEsCe to get to it. After all, if EnEsCe allowed his customers to manually update the soldatserver by uploading a newer binary, he'd be shooting himself in the foot as he'd be letting skiddies run likely-malicious code on his server.

- Fixed Certain special characters do not display correctly on Linux servers
Not only on Linux servers. It`s windows server issue too: http://bugs.soldat.pl/view.php?id=69

Didn't have it at first as well, but then full force. Dunno, sometimes it is there, sometimes not. However, if you try to play a serious game it makes Spas almost unusable because you can't foretell if it will work or not - unfortunately annoying. Or well funny, if you are into Russian roulette games :D

tap the nade button (just a little tiny tap) every few seconds. it will stop the reload from happening

good work on the update though, glad to see the jets have been fixed and the no self-bink nade hold thing too.
the reload bug is rlly bad, ive experienced it with other weps too but mostly spas. Spas (normally hardly ever running out of ammo) is running out of ammo all the time. Often spawning with 0 Bullets (infact it shows 7, but on first shottry it starts reloading) often having to reload very offten despite having bullets left.
THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED SOON. Plz :)
Besides that, seems to run stable.
-
Okay, Spas is enourmously unbalanced - too fucking powerful... And I want AntiCheat back! >:(
-
spas seems as it was to me besides reload bug

spas seems as it was to me besides reload bug
I mean about balance... Spas-noobs can kill by one shot even from 15 meters... This is some bullshit, it should not be possible from distance that's farrer than 5 meters...
-
is the update going to be fixed? i mean the fmod.dll error that pops up to a lot of players

6.0 Doesn't need to be stickied anymore.

sry i use spas and also other weps so i feel like im able to compare it. pas is a strong weapon and can be handled by unexperienced players also. thats true, if ur talking of realistic mode. Its good from short to midrange. Shots need to be timed well thou.
in nonrealistic mode its weaker then other weps.
Seems well balanced to me, also to be a real spashole u need skill u cant denie that.
-
Realistic Spas's damage shouldn't be so big cause it's 714 (119 * 6 bullets)...
