Things I fixed so far in 1.4

[Michal Marcinkowski]

Here are things that will be fixed in the upcoming patch. Since this version was a pretty big architectural change naturally there are bugs.
If you have any of these problems please stop complaining, just play version 1.3.1 or whatever until I release the fix. Shouldn't take long, we need to still test these fixes.

- Fixed errors when starting game (no need for compatibility mode)
- Fixed resolution change and minimap not working with some video cards
- Fixed lobby error messages
- Fixed unicode fonts under Windows 98/SE
- Fixed killconsole space between names is adjusted according to font size
- Fixed killconsole graphics not aligned properly
- Fixed no secondary on server join
- Fixed kicking on servers with disabled weapons
- Fixed flamer spamming and ban
- Modified yellow player left message changed to team color

THANK YOU! yr the best MM. when will the patch come out, because i can't be playing with bots forever

Don't you fix the profile bug?

[Temp3st]

A much needed patch judging from all the threads about the bugs....

Thanks on behalf of all the people out there with their prehistoric Graphics Cards.

(Edit)
MM, maybe post something on the "Need Help..." board, telling people how to fix the "access violation error". It will stop the people moaning about the errors, there must be like a dozen threads about about it. 

[EnEsCe]

Its times like these I think Soldat needs a BugTracker.

Bot waypoints in Ctf_Division are not good (when a bot captures the flag, it often stops and goes back)

[Sparrow, Jack]

[EnEsCe]

erm... Jack... Hate to break it to you, but its not a bug.

[GluLm]

If you have selected a server in the lobby list when manually adding an IP to favourites, this IP gets tagged with the server you had previously selected. Should be easily fixed?

And will "KillConsoleNameSpace" have any effect on the weapon icons in the killconsole? Just wondering.

[Silnikos]

Hmm is there any weapon taking delay?
If i have for example two knives on the same place, and i want to take em, it takes like 3-5 secs :/.
When i took 1 knife, pushed Q, i have to wait sec-two before gostek takes second knife.

You didnt write nothing about it in changes/features list... It sux.

Yeah, it's really annoying, especially at knife-only servers, where you have to pick them really fast.

[FannyBoy]

Wow MM you are fast! Thank you MMGod

was that made with intention? cuz i find that annoying, not used to listen music while playing. well, anyway that's not a big thing, i won't let the intro forever

shto??

Date Posted: April 30, 2007, 06:08:55 PMalso what I don't like is that if I see the opponent, he still doesn't appear on the minimap, or if my team mate sees an opponent

[VirtualTT]

some other bugs (from soldat 1.3.1)

• rambo bow appears insted of one sprite when someone is burning
• soldat executes only one command ( something like -join <IP> <Port> <Pass> -mod <ModName> doesn't work properly)

Also i don't like the way window scaling works. I think it would be better to have normal window with border and caption so players could move and resize it without restarting soldat... And option to disable tray icon would be good to...

[Toumaz]

• soldat executes only one command ( something like -join <IP> <Port> <Pass> -mod <ModName> doesn't work properly)

Works if you do -mod <ModName> -join <IP> <Port> <Pass>.

[Sytrus]

- Modified yellow player left message changed to team color

SCORE!

Does that involve teamchat? I mean, could it? So the teamchat isn't yellow anymore, it's rather the color of the team? That'd be a Point After Touchdown now.
_______________________

I think the killog should be merged a bit. It looks too big, really and it's hard to find the right scale for it, so the weapon symbols fit.


And I havent seen this "show suicide weapon" thing, it seems as that doesn't work.

[6th_account]

Hey, Michal, can u add 1400 x 1050 resolution??

You can change it manually in the soldat.ini by replacing the lines...
Screen_Width=640
Screen_Height=480
...with whatever you want.

[2big4u]

Thats menu music >_>

don't worry I know about all political affairs in Poland

Michal, and one other thing, in survival mode when it shows "** players in your team" it always shows the whole number of teammates (dead and alive ones)

[Noldi]

I play in Realistic/Survival mode and if you change teams in R/S you are still alive. This wasn't in the past versions. Anytime you change teams in R/S, make it so that you are dead please.

[..::HHH::..]

thanks dude!

 i'm looking forward to the fix.

[GluLm]

I know this is not a top priority but, will you fix the menus? Or are you satisfied with them already?
Just wondering if you're planning to change them  as they used to look good...

Above: 1.3.1
Below: 1.4

[Blues]

I play in Realistic/Survival mode and if you change teams in R/S you are still alive. This wasn't in the past versions. Anytime you change teams in R/S, make it so that you are dead please.

I'm pretty sure that happened in 1.2.1.

[X-Rayz]

Wait, if I download the patch, then I'll have to mod the bullets and text again wont I?

Oh well. Thanks.

There were barely any R/S servers in 1.2.1.

[Snowden]

- Fixed killconsole graphics not aligned properly

Does this fix how at the bottom of the killconsole, weapons aren't shown?

[Doktor_Joint]

i hope troubles with laggy game on some computers will be fixed too.

[Brok3n Arr0w]

the fix i want is the one regarding the lobby server connection error.  there are a few rag-tag solutions that work for one of two people, usually thought up by those people.  i would really appreciate it if MM would separately address this since it seams to be common, and it interupts multiplayer gameplay.  the 'lobby server is sometimes down, deal with it' is not that satisfying, because that means it's been down for a week (mentioned in .  and the 'uninstall then reinstall' doesnt work either. 

[NinjaGimp369]

Woo! Thanks Mr. MM!

[Brok3n Arr0w]

i just had a thought.  missing/corrupted files can cause countless and unpredictable bugs.  i have some ideas why some people have problems, but i have to make some assumtions. 

when MM fixes a problem, does he update the download file? 
if he does, then do all the mirrors get updated too? 

senario #1
lets say that MM just updates the file for download.  lets then say that some of these mirrors dont get updated themselves (note - not sure how mirrors work).  that means that some of those mirrors have bugged-out files, THAT ARE STILL BEING DOWNLOADED.  hence all the complaints. 

senario #2
lets say that MM just updates the file for download.  lets then say that the mirrors get updated.  but can the be a corruption of files in the mirror?  can a mirror, for whatever reason, cause file corruption?  maybe theres something about a file that doesnt work well in a mirror.  i dont know. 

senario #3
maybe when MM says he has fixed the problem, he just adds that to the next patch, not the current file download. 

to check these senarios, we could

senario 1 & 2
find out wether your soldat 1.4 works or not, then find out what mirror was used. 

senario #3
ask MM

to avoid all those problems, couldnt MM just host a download from his own site so everyone knows its status and if it is updated? but that would cost bandwith, right?

again, i'm just assuming things, i dont really know what i'm talking about.  i'm just throwing ideas out hoping to spark some real solutions.  and because my lobby server doesnt work. 

[iBhutz]

Yay, bug fixing!! Thanks MM for making it all better.

[edak]

Snowden, the weapons aren't missing, they're there.  It's just that the names aren't aligned to them.  Michal has fixed this.

[kooliodude]

Would that include the problem in the menu when it says:

Access violation at 0051BB5 in module 'Soldat.exe'. Write of address 00000021.   

[Mr. Domino]

At least the bugs in 1.4.0. aren't as serious as they were in 1.3.1.  That version probably contained the most bugs/lags.

You're living in a dream world. 1.4 kills servers. It makes it impossible for many to play. 1.3.1 never had such bugs will literally prevented people from runnings servers and playing the game.

[Brok3n Arr0w]

first off, 1.4.1 isnt out yet---thats what most are waiting for.

second, there are many game-crippling bugs right now for most, ur just lucky that you didnt get them.

not burning on MM though, he has put a huge effort into this.
