News on Soldat 1.5.0

[Dairy]

they should make heli's. that would be wicked. They would need to be small and would only have a Minimi attatched on the bottom and it could be shot off. When the heli is shot enough it crashes, but the player wont be able to get out. The player can jump out with parachute while the heli is airborne. New maps could be built. Bigger with more space to allow room to fly, and there should be an option to enable/diable vehicles. That would be wicked

Go back to battlefield 2.

Or just wait for LINKDEATH.

And wishes and ideas are in another section.

Hope the 1.5 will be nice and the new features will be bugfree.

[Iron Man]

Vehicles = Phail. It'd be too chaotic and instead of people fighting over the flag, we'll be fighting over who gets the vehicles.

Let's stop arguing. You are like the fox who couldn't get the grapes and said they are sour anyway. That's bullbollocks. Vehicles and movable polys are the best ideas for Soldat. They would add so many new possibilities and it would be so much more fun. It just isn't possible, but the idea itself is great.

No I mean, think about it. There'd be more whine, flaming, and there would be more absurd suggestions in the forum. There'll be people whining about the m79 AND the vehicles. Maps would have to be redone as it would need huge maps(A huge tank in ctf_Ash?) and there'd be more lag. Also, the physics dont even match the vehicles (think about a huge tank falling down mid section in Voland). If you like that kind of stuff, play Battlefield or something.


Now, I support more different types of polies though.

[O.R.I.O.N.]

cunchy's right. We already have enough people bitching about the M79. Last thing we need is people lumbering around in tanks blowing people up left and right. Besides, the only thing in the Soldat arsenal that can fight a tank is the M72. Maybe the Barrett, but that's a stretch.

Soldat is a well balanced game for what it is without vehicles. A skilled player can jump, run and rocket accross any map in mere seconds. Why would you want a vehicle? If for instance you wanted to run people over.. that's fine, but you'd get naded, m79'd and smg'd up the ass so fast. Soldat is fast and furious. Vehicles are slow and stupid in comparison to all the maneuverability and flight of soldats. Vehicles are useful in games where the player does not have these extra abilities when on foot (flight and speed from flight/jumping) such as Halo. Plus the maps are big enough to support vehicles. If you cut a Halo map in half (lengthways) and looked at the action from the side.. you'd realize in comparison, that the vehicle size as compared to the entire map size is even smaller than the size of a soldat compared to a Soldat map.

Soldat is a game that is specifically little soldiers blowing the shittocky out of eachother - AND THAT'S IT. If ya want vehicles in a side scroller, wait for Link Dead or play some of the other Soldat clones (which, unfortunately, are not as popular).

That is all. This is the end of vehicles ever being suggested in Soldat again.

I hope to hell that in 1.5 soldat will read interfaces and font configurations from the mods folder.

There's no point in suggesting that in the suggestion section of the forum because nobody understands what a good idea it is unless they are a modder. And everybody is too busy supporting crap ideas.

The developers look there frequently, and the beta testers are always reading through there.  The beta testers can then suggest features from there when development is beginning.

Theres no way my computer will run 1.5.0
Check out my system stats:
224 MB RAM- 2.00Ghz
My max disk drive space is about 4 GB.
Internal videocard - SiSFX660 - That video card is probably older than me.
If I run too many windows at once ( Usually like 5) it will crash.
It's a wonder it runs 1.3.1

Your video card is most likely the problem.  1.4.0 and upward changed how fonts and other things are handled by the video card and some cheap/crappy cards don't support it (like integrated SiS garbage)

Will there be a console in Soldat 1.5.0? Like in some FPS gamse where you press "~" and console shows up.

Isn't the chat/command log already equally similar?

Similar but still not it.

[echo_trail]

What do we need a console for?

[Flamingo]

to load hax ofcourse, what else?

[echo_trail]

Ah, my bad.

[Biscuiteer]

Maybe have that 'Syntax console' available only for those who have admin rights?

[ds dude]

The chat log already acts like a console, because you can do commands on it with the "/".  Am I correct?

[EnEsCe]

Another console for slash commands would be as useful as tits on a bull

I hope some of the bugs in the current version are removed in 1.5. Its very annoying. Also, I've heard that the m79 jump will take more from your health in 1.5 , is that true?

[Laser Guy]

I was hoping for one without the "/" necessary...

[Biscuiteer]

perhaps change / to ~ as the command button?

[Centurion]

I like the way how he says things out straight.

[chutem]

We don't need another console for soldat, the / is fine...
