Great job on the weapons, L[one]R!

Also this (http://bugs.soldat.pl/view.php?id=215) is still relevant. To me at least... ]:
ALT+R = Reloading
ALT+F = Dropping weapon
ALT+Q = Changing to secondary
Frustrating...

- Patch worked great for me
- Added cannot vote message for command /votemap  <-- Works
- Modified the Soldat Evolved weapon graphics with tweaks made by L[one]R <-- I guess discuss it here (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=43723.0;topicseen)
- Fixed ban on bots in singleplayer mode should return a kick message <--Fixed, but there's another thing: /addbot blain will add Blain, but /kick blain or /ban blain will not work. You have to do /kick Blain or /ban Blain (You need to write the capital letters)

Glad to see people liking the tweaks to the weapon graphics so far. I've just released another update with yet more tweaks.
It's a shame it didn't make it into this beta, but it contains quite a few significant tweaks so I urge you to apply the patch before playing the beta.

Honestly, any news on that? That has been bothering me since v1.2.

nosejj: As that is caused by releasing the Alt key before e.g. R, I'm not sure if that is a common problem. I mean, any word processor, browser or part of your OS works the same. Press Ctrl+C and release Ctrl first, and you'll get left with an unwanted "c".

Tried Ctrl+C and releasing Ctrl first, nothing's written.

Scenario: you're escaping top on ctf_Rotten and you want to throw it and taunt "Free top" quickly and it binds an action...
There are many other scenarios which this might be irritating, you need to keep moving fast and at the same time provide the information for your team. When an unwanted action is performed this might slow you down and most of the time also help the enemy with an easy kill.

Almost no one plays what?

Alt+R is a bind for a taunt, so is Alt+F and Alt+Q... When I do a taunt that's using these letters, it also performs the action (Reload, Drop weapon, Change to secondary)...
What I want it is, for these key to not perform these actions when Alt is involved, so I can taunt while something critical happens during game and still keep moving.

If you think by any chance that I meant to change default from, for example: "R" for reload -> Alt+R for reload, that's not what I meant at all. :)

^^ +1
I approve this even if I don't use taunts. This should be fixed. Maybe not many ppl use these keys for taunts but I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work as expected - without action being performed. Homer updated the ticket in mantis so check his comment there (http://bugs.soldat.pl/view.php?id=215).


To r0y: Táhni do prdele :D

I'm not sure if there was a thread about this already. But I prefer if you could discuss this in that thread (or a new one if there isn't one) instead as this isn't really a bug in 1.6.8b2.

If "start-up" in Barrett will be changed to a longer? It would be great  :)
