Title: Devlog update (2012-04-15) Nothing new except 1.6.3 beta version available :O
Post by: Shoozza on April 15, 2012, 05:00:14 pm
Hi everyone,

so I wasn't really working on Soldat this week and somehow nothing happened :S
I'm not sure how much time I'll have this week to work on the installer. Sorry for that.

There are still some translations missing (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=41775.0) and I still have to finish the installer for the rc.

Since I don't like to disappoint you I think it's time to make the Beta version public.
It was under private testing for a few weeks so some bugs are already fixed.

Download:
Soldat 1.6.3b1 (http://static.soldat.pl/downloads/soldat163b1.zip)
Soldatserver 2.7.3 1.6.3b1 (http://static.soldat.pl/downloads/soldatserver2.7.3_1.6.3b1.zip)

Please post bug in this thread unless they are already in 1.6.2 or earlier versions (if they are in 1.6.2 and earlier add them to the bugtracker (http://bugs.soldat.pl) - if they aren't there already).
You can link to the bugtracker to get my attention (maybe also write why it should be fixed in this release  ;)

Have fun testing!

Guess I'll download it and play that server mentioned above, hopefully it has a flexible ping limit.

In the folder where you installed Soldat, open the files weapon.ini and weapons_realistic.ini.

That there is a new available version of Soldat. Announcing it on other forums could help Soldat to get known!

Congratulations on the beta , Shoozza , at least you're working hard and i really want to applaud you , we needed something fresh or at least a hint that soldat was going to get better! I've noticed that some people are coming back to soldat ( competitively talking and even in public servers) , there are full almost the entire day! I dont know if its the summer but its really cool!

PS : It's gonna be hard to find a Thai translator but i'll try to help with finding other translators as well with the ones helping atm :P ( aka evho)

awesome! :)

good job!

I got a question about the .dll support: The most of the servers are hosted with an linux host. Are .so files supported then also?

Edit: nvm. I'm just plain stupid. Should need to open my eyes better. xD

First of all, here is a changelog of Soldat 1.6.3 beta 1: http://pastebin.com/6yVjXepL

And here is a changelog collected from a Private Beta thread {fixes and modifications made for the next version (beta 2) during a private beta 1 test}:
Quote
- Fixed clicking "default: 23073" changes the port field to 23073 doesn't work
- Fixed "Bot" icon doesn't display for bots from spectators team in F1 menu
- Fixed Bots game info (kills/deaths/health/weapon/team etc.) doesn't reset after server "soft" restart (gamemode change with /GAMEMODE # command or config load with /LOADCON command)
- Fixed names of players from (0) Player team doesn't display in F1 menu at all or "randomly" overlapping names of other players (regardless of the team) in team-based gamemodes
- Fixed capital chars is subfolder names in readonly.txt
- Fixed wrong flag image source links and sizes in manual\register.html
- Fixed wrong link in gostek-gfx\help.txt
- Fixed some GUI element sizes from Soldat.exe and Config.exe to fit tranlsation lines
- Fixed capital chars in names of "Soldatserver.exe" and "Soldatserver" files
- Fixed 'List index out of bounds (0)' error for empty maplist and 'Loop' option enabled
- Fixed Alt + R sometimes triggers a weapon reload #72 again (this bug probably happens for all taunts)
- Fixed 'Too many bots' error for the 'Bot team' options in a team-based game after changing a gamemode

- Modified Sound and Music volumes are now 50% by default
- Modified admins can now be kicked from console, votekick/ping kick/etc shouldn't work (only external anti-cheat kick)

Is it possible to include the MSAC Installation within the Soldat install?

Doubt that because it's not devs' source. Also MSAC isn't an amendment for cheaters anymore...

But I can tell you that Mr (MSAC creator) works to make a real and official AC already...

MSAC will be include when it's ready. AFAIK it's not ready yet so probably not this release.
