Soldat 1.5.1e Beta (with server)

[Shoozza]

Hello community!

So it's finally here: The long awaited release candidate next beta.

We planned to put out a release candidate but because the anticheat api is not ready yet, we decided to put out beta version first.

This is the dev teams first beta version so if anything fails let me know.

The release candidate will follow later (once the anticheat stuff works ).

Aaand here is the current changelog:
(Note: It includes all changes since Soldat 1.5.0 not just the stuff we did)

[Guile]

Shoz is trying to get our bank info... That's what you get for stealing soldat registry keys, instead of paying for them.

[Spewer]

HELLL YESSSS!! *multiple nerdgasms*

[mxyzptlk]

This is awesome. I just decided to come back to check and see if there was a new version yet, and lo and behold, one was actually released less than an hour before I did this.

Congrats to the new team for getting a new beta release out. At this rate, 1.5.1 is going to be the best version yet.

[Horve]

Problems:
1. Can't configure "move left" key because it does not exist
2. -1, 0, 1 etc. appear in console
3. Can't reload with middle mouse button key. Works
4. Score -> +/- after capping?. Is it + or -, make up your mind?
5. Winner is supposed to be determined by kills, not caps. The winning team is supposed to be determined by caps. Why would anyone kill anybody, if there would be no point?
6. Nades are OP (no more eats)
7. Version text is where the grenade icons are.
8. F5 captures a screenshot of your last kill and also stops/starts music.

6. Nades are OP

Could be the realistic mode, mhh?

[20:51:32] <@Zarch> wtf is wrong with this pos
[20:51:39] <@Zarch> it's giving me constant 32 FPS
[20:51:46] <+DutchFl4me> uhh
[20:51:50] <@Zarch> with or without Vsync, and FPS limit set to 60
[20:51:56] <+DutchFl4me> fixed: huge amount of fps lags
[20:52:12] <@Zarch> created: huge amount of fps lags
[20:52:20] <+DutchFl4me> kik
[20:52:29] <+DutchFl4me> you might dont want to turn on the fps limiter
[20:52:31] <@Zarch> I wouldn't even call it lag
[20:52:34] <@Zarch> it's constant
[20:53:31] <@Zarch> loooooool
[20:53:39] <@Zarch> I put the FPS limit to 120
[20:53:45] <@Zarch> now it's staying at 67-68
[20:55:38] <@Zarch> gonna try it in fullscreen
[20:56:26] <@Zarch> yup same thing

[Bonecrusher]

Weapon statistics dont work and the f1 menu looks bad to me(the separated teams), server info and name is fine though. Anyway good job k.

PS: I will miss the crouch float bug ;<

@edit: fps drop bug occuring for me on every remaked map(lanubya, maya, kampf,ruins,run etc).
Also the new ctf maps are considered bad.

@edit2:[22:00] <@Shoozza_DnD> if its not on the forums it will be forgotten
All the new maps/remakes are bad

[mtk]

WHERE IS CTF_GLORY
