You are not a really pro if you don't /piss on the body of your fallen enemies before capping the flag

Ima not pro nor noob. Dont played in the last 10 years. But if i decided to play someday I wanna the game  coded for pros and not a bunch of overloaded features add by MM on a whim. I know every1 doenst mind but it cleary put useless stress on the code. Well, hope some1 is interested to dev the game better. Perhaps it will attract some population in a competitve fashon

I want to emphasize to not come off as rude. Code is not an emotional being that you can put under "stress" by having features.

There are things you can do with the scriptcore that would really put a soldat server under stress such as spawning 1,000 cluster nades or things of that kind, but people using the /piss command is just them moving their hands and head in a scripted manner and spawning some yellow projectiles. No biggy.

In most game modes, all the things you mention are disabled anyway. You can configure your server in whatever way you wish actually, so there's no argument to be made here. In fact, I'd like there to be more features that spice up the game.

All in all, this game is old. If you can't run it on a modern PC, that's not the game's fault. :)

ya saying those useless shit doesnt eat resources? even if its minimal its does. Also ya check how fast the earlier version w/o too much crap. Perhaps unkowngly some small shit compounds overload in high quantity.
why not try to remove almost everything but only shit that 90% of ppl use.
btw ppl can play older version if so like, but newer ones should be more clean. how to clean it up? its hard to say rly. just start slowly on those literal stuffed noinsense

Having more files in a game is not a burden on stability or performance, especially not for a small game such as Soldat. What you are asking for is called backwards-development and takes just as much time as actual development. Not feasible, not necessary.

To add on to this: as the game is written in Object Pascal (as opposed to something like C++), it compiles extremely fast despite being a large codebase.

And to remove the mentioned features safely, it would require lots and lots of careful refactoring which would be extremely time consuming to do safely. And all of the things mentioned in the OP make the game more fun ;)

What a statement, do you read what you type?
