Soldat 1.5.1f Beta (with server)
« on: March 13, 2011, 12:07:09 pm »
Hello everyone!

It took some time but the next beta is out now.
We actually wanted to release it on Friday.

Not everything was fixed though. So if you still get a bug tell us in detail:
How it happens and
what should actually happen

Also read the earlier posts in this thread and only add stuff if you have more information
Quote the old post when you add information :P.

But before you read the changelog and download the new beta I have to tell you a secret:
We had a hidden dev (or call him a ninja dev) for almost a month now.
He helped with the creating of the dev log among other things.

Last beta post I forgot to mention him but you might know him already:
His nickname is ramirez.


That said here is the changelog for soldat 1.5.1f beta 21:


Soldatclient changelog
Added Option to Force Background Colors in maps to one defined by the player
Added Option to enable/disable FPSLimit as well as option to enable/disable high resolution timers
Added missing translations in gui

Modified Generation of HardwareID to also work with borked WMI

Fixed version info in the middle of the screen
Fixed Score is +/- in Player Stat Window
Fixed tab order in all tabs
Fixed empty Internet Connection Speed in config.exe
Fixed tab order in all tabs in config.exe
Fixed move left key not visible on the menu
Fixed debugging information appearing in console
Fixed missing sceneries
Fixed Soldat not being centered in active desktop
Fixed missing collision poly on Airpirates

Soldatserver changelog
Fixed Scoring of htf/inf
Fixed Weaponmod gettings screwed up when doing /gamemode X
Fixed ASE queries not working


If you have the beta 1.5.1e client run it and tell me if the updater doesn't work.

Note the 1.5.1f needs a server update (not compatible with old server).

Auto-updater works, but after the update it always warns about there is a new version available, even if it's already the latest 1.5.1f.

config starts in between two screens on a dual screen setup. Not critical, but feels idiotic

Punisher, use the autoupdater on load. The original patch had no default.txt, but the autoupdater includes it.

Actually the translations are missing text.

If someone has the time please help to translate.
Post translations for 1.5.1f there:

default.txt is the up to date one (seems like i forgot to update the english.txt in the languages folder :<)

When trying to autoupdate from 1.5.1e:
Quote
---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
C:\Documents and Settings\Nick\Desktop\( Desktop )\(Games)\Soldat v1.5.1.20\Config.exe
An error occurred while trying to replace the existing file:
DeleteFile failed; code 5.
Access is denied.
Click Retry to try again, Ignore to skip this file (not recommended), or Abort to cancel installation.
---------------------------
Abort   Retry   Ignore   
---------------------------


Tried "retry" - same thing. Tried "abort" - it rolled back changes, then I restarted update and got the same error. I hit "ignore" but then the same error occured for Soldat.exe. Had to download the patch which installed normally.

___________ ___________ ___________

Weird numbers that reacted to mouse scroll wheel don't show up anymore. Check.
Annoying "OK" popup when assigning keys gone. Check.
Move Left is back. Check.
GJ. Check. :P

I noticed a nice little side effect from the "Force BG colors" feature (btw, I like how you made it global instead of map-specific). When I enable BG override - minimap's BG becomes transparent. To me it looks much cleaner and less distracting that way (especially for small maps with huge off-map areas like Airpirates). Do you think you could make minimap BG transparent without having to override map colors?

Minor GUI issues:
1) When I click on radio buttons (I mean the round dots in the menu) - the last button I clicked on gets stuck in "Hover" state. When focus on other windows it becomes normal "On" state, but when I focus on Soldat window again - it highlights in "Hover" state again.
2) When assigning something to "Tab" button (weapon menu in my case) - when I press tab - the "Player Name" field highlights.
3) Old bug actually: When I start up Soldat - Default profile is highlighted and marked as "last used" (even though I use my own custom profile all the time). If I just press OK without clicking on any profiles - it takes me to my custom profile. After that if I go back to profile menu - I can see my custom profile highlighted, but Default profile is still marked as "last used".

Start.exe still can't launch modded Soldat.

Stats still don't work in multiplayer (instead they show stats from your single player game if you didn't restart Soldat after playing single player). Also, if you start a new Single Player game - stats aren't reset.

Anti-aliasing doesn't work (hasn't been working ever since 1.4, I think). Using XP Pro (SP3)



Also one small request:
Please add 1152x864 resolution option to the config. My screen is 1280x1024, and 1152x864 is great for running Soldat in window but keeping its window large enough at the same time. I'm tired of editing Soldat.ini each time I change something in config. :S


___________ ___________ ___________

How FPS limit works for me: (I'm running Soldat in windowed mode, 1024x768 res)

FPS Limit: 60
High Resolution Timer: On
Result: Around 54-57 FPS, runs nice and smooth.

FPS Limit: 60
High Resolution Timer: Off
Result: Counter shows fixed number of 41FPS, but the game runs at around 25 or so (it's playable, but during fast movements you can see the choppiness).

FPS Limit: 999
High Resolution Timer: On
Result: 160-180FPS, runs smoothly

FPS Limit: 999
High Resolution Timer: Off
Result: Counter shows fixed number of 66FPS, runs smoothly

When does that happen?

@L[0ne]R
Config.exe should be closed ;)

Soldats focus behavior is really bad but for now i need to focus on bugs which make playing impossible.

Stats are not high priority will be probably disabled to get the next release out asap.

Antialiasing should not work on vista and newer but for xp it should work.

The Config.exe res. change stuff was suggested by MM already will be added if theres time :P.

When are you getting that?  Unless you are running a server or a public game, you should deny that.  That IP address is not associated with any of our servers or anything.
