Soldat 1.6.0 Release Candidate 2

[Shoozza]

Hello everyone!

It's release candidate 2 time!

Since you all want to test and not read all day I'll keep myself short.

I hope this version fixes most of your issues, let me know if you find some annoying bugs.
I didn't fix the untranslated texts. They have to wait till 1.6.1. Sorry about that.
Note: There are probably some unfinished translations! If you want you can help us to complete them.

Maybe the autoupdater will work this time without going crazy

Here is the changelog for Soldat and Soldatserver:

[Falcon`]

Grats, keep it rolling!

[DutchFlame]

Hell yeah, about to test soon.

[Fryer]

All the totally game breaking bugs should be fixed by now, looking forward to finally getting this thing released!

[homerofgods]

After a long period of almost no progress at all, things seam to be going faster, and the fact that it went this fast from Rc1 to Rc2 means the developers have done a great job. I can’t wait for the real version to be here and be able to say It’s done!
We must continue to push development and help all that we can with testing or anything you can contribute with. Today I feel proud of being a soldateer.

Thanks again to the developers and good luck with the rc2 testing everyone!

[DorkeyDear]

Lets see! Good job, we all appreciate your hard work (to all devs).

[DutchFlame]

Still existing glitch/bug: Being able to throw nades through thin/some polies. (for example roof on Ash)
Bug: Spectators able to bypass chat when in survival mode. When the round ends just press T and wait till the round starts, you can keep chatting in the round forever.

Suggestion: Add a scrollbar to soldat text, so that you are able to check up text you have missed(spammers for example).

[xmRipper]

Argh why you have to write all changelog to auto-updater dialogs =)
Anyway just pressed Enter.

From: August 24, 2011, 08:59:55 pmOk just a tiny issue:

This was a bit tricky, decreased the version number from version.txt file in order to see the new updater.
And updater window looks.. uh. Here is the screenshot:

This is under Windows XP, and I did not test it yet but I guess this problem won't happen in Vista/7 :



From: August 24, 2011, 09:15:09 pmAnd did you make the config checks if registered or not?, or "This option will be available to you after registering" label is too short that text can't fit there? If it checks, then you should also disable the tooltip text if registered.

You can only chat forever if you use // and replace the text
But yeah.

I think I'll make the spectator chat an option after it's fixed.
The way it currently works is not how people expect it to work.
But it's a good feature in case people don't want random spectator chat while playing.

About the suggestion: I had this idea myself long time ago.
However I don't want to add this in the next few months.
The code isn't really easy to change and needs some cleanup first.
That's why you don't see chatMod features implemented yet

What else do you want to see in there except changelogs.
The new updater will have less issues with that.
And btw you can open the changelog.txt in soldat folder after updating!

You are sure the 1 px error is not because of your windows xp theme?
No idea why it turned out like this I'll check it out later.

Yeah the text in the Config is too small now. Somehow Delphi loves it to cut stuff off

I know, I said that for old updater. Since we are updating from rc1, you shouldn't write all the changelog because we can't see the OK and Cancel buttons. We can't even read it too its off screen!

Oh you are right. Sorry my mistake... It was an official Windows XP theme downloaded from microsoft.com, Zune... So I thought it wasn't a theme problem.

----------

And a suggestion: Make the bot difficulty hardest one for Soldatserver. Because it is online game and harder=better.

[BOTS]
Difficulty=10

From: August 24, 2011, 10:31:40 pmAlso 1366x768 resolution is missing in Config. It is the default resolution for most 15" and 13" notebooks

[Furai]

Gj, forwarding as awlays to fb.

[Denacke]

(SN) RC2 server ( soldat://nandt.org:23076/ ) should be up now, happy testing!

[zakath]

All soldatladder servers have been upgraded to RC2 as well

[machina]

Let's fucking download it! 

[CurryWurst]

The latest script core still seems incompatible with scripts written for Soldat server 2.6.5.

[The_Punisher]

Good work!
And now get this finally released...
People will always find the smallest bugs, but they are so small that it doesnt really matter.

[Zischer]

first it works.. then I change settings / create my profile.. then I get an "Unknown Error 10013". What is this & what do I wrong? (was the same with the other version btw)

[ramirez]

Can you post the exact steps to reproduce the error from clean installation?

It seems like it works now!!! Has to be some firewall-related thingy - srry for posting & learning about this almost every new version lol :/

Anyway, thx for reply!

[machina]

Take a look at this. Stats in right-low corner shows that i'm first even Shoozza and bet have more points... Does it show first player on map by caps...? Or maybe by position from up on a table...? Something is fucked here...

[Mittsu]

by caps, read the changelog

[machina]

Lol, weird... Ok, thank for info...

[Madow]

But what about Soldat Promotions to commemerate the new release candidates?

I'm expecting limited edition stickers and trading cards.

[DutchFlame]

lolol madow you r funny

[xmRipper]

I insist on making weapon stats accessible by F3, and FPS thing to shift+f3 or something else.
Because it is really pain to check weapon stats while short respawn time is counting down... and there is no point to easy access for fps stuff ...

I'm sure everybody is agree with me. Any yes-no poll required devs?

I agree. What about F4 though? I forgot what it does.
Ideally all the F# keys should just be customizable like regular controls. I'd gladly replace useless music controls with something else.

[ginn]

F4 is screenshot.

I agree with the F3 idea.... though I still want the weapon stats to reset every map >.>...

[machina]

Screenshot button is right placed in my opinion even i always forget how to make a picture

Here is the script you asked for: http://www.speedyshare.com/files/30041349/Test.zip

Contains a folder with Includes.txt and Test.pas.
Script parts copied from Miracle Mod, Commands /flame and /statgun.
Works fine on 1.5.0, but not on the newer versions.

[homerofgods]

Minimizing soldat looks like this..
Make it say Soldat 1.6.0 instead of theese squares :p

[Shoozza]

[...] I still want the weapon stats to reset every map >.>...

Ok I'll be working on it tomorrow.

How about:
[F1] - players list with scores / [ALT + F1] - hide player names
[F2] - weapon stats / [ALT + F2] - show/hide sniper line
[F3] - minimap on/off / [ALT + F3] - statistics (FPS, ping, network bandwith)
and the rest like in the manual: http://static.soldat.pl/man/manual-en.html

Feels wrong I know but it seems to work like it should.
I read some people want points for caps back. Though I don't know how many people really want them back (no poll in suggestions yet?)

I get some chinese/japanese chars when I do it. No idea why that happens though.
If I find out why I will update it. But it's low priority .

Btw the new keys for the weaponstats etc work now and the weaponstats get reset on join and mapchange

Using [ALT + F#] with numbers near 4 will increase the likelihood of somebody accidentally typing Alt+F4 (I, myself, miss keys on accident relatively often ). Maybe it would be better to use CTRL or Shift.

[TheOne]

As far as I know, statgun bullets are style 14 and flames are 5.
That is, for scriptcreated bullets..

[DorkeyDear]

The latest script core still seems incompatible with scripts written for Soldat server 2.6.5.

Admin port seems to be semi-broken currently. Any character >= 128 in value is seen as the char 63 in value; at least as OnAdminMessage sees. This behavior is different than the previous version of the Soldat dedicated server.

[F2] - minimap on/off / [ALT + F2] - show/hide sniper line

Alt should stay because it have been used in Taunts... Isn't it possible to desible Alt+F4, probably not...

[Fryer]

It's possible, but I often use it to close Soldat quickly, so IMO it would just be even more annoying than keeping it.

Yea, me too... But you can create another button combination that would close Soldat...

[Dusty]

imo the statistics should stay in f3 as you check your fps every now and then but you bring the minimap up or hide it only once or twice during the round - if at all.

[L[0ne]R]

imo the statistics should stay in f3 as you check your fps every now and then but you bring the minimap up or hide it only once or twice during the round - if at all.

Why would you need to check your FPS? I understand doing it a few times for testing purposes, but once you're done testing - you don't need to see it anymore. Plus it's not a gameplay-related feature, so it's lower priority IMHO.

As for minimap - once or twice during round is still often. At least more often than FPS.

[DorkeyDear]

Heh never knew about the [Alt+F3] keyboard shortcut before.

Minor bug: doing e.g. "/addbot5 Boogie Man" while in spec, with realistic on, the bot makes a "hurts" sound (like getting hurt by fall damage).

[ginn]

I have to agree that making it alt+F# is just begging for people alt+F4ing... make it ctrl/shift+F#

No one complained probably because nobody uses hide players name and show/hide sniper line. But with fps being alt+f3 i guess you will start to get some complains.

[Illuminatus]

you check your fps every now and then but you bring the minimap up or hide it only once or twice during the round - if at all.

Not for me. I use fps maybe only every 3-4 matches but minimap every time I am ffc and waiting in our base.

One new bug in "Config.exe": After what?

You added the missing names to the weapon stats but the sorting still isn't consistent. I suggest the following:
- primary weapons
- secondary weapons
- Grenade
- Clusters
- Fists (I'm not sure but isn't "Fists" the term used by most poeple? "Hands" sounds strange.)
- Flamer
- Bow
- Flame Bow
- Stationary Gun (use capital "G" like every other weapon name)

[DorkeyDear]

You added the missing names to the weapon stats but the sorting still isn't consistent.

I believe this is because weapon id`s are unfortunately inconsistent (in this context). But I agree, the order should be modified to match what the average player would expect.

- Fists (I'm not sure but isn't "Fists" the term used by most poeple? "Hands" sounds strange.)

I've seen it both ways. I've been trying to use hands more often, as I think I see that more often; but both are understandable terms.

Config.exe label was fixed already

The reason why it's not sorted like that is like DorkeyDear said.
The weapon ids are inconsistent and I tries to move it down but then there was weird output as if something changed the values so i left it out.

I guess you want me to use the Spanish translations for rc1 right?

[Fujifabric]

No, please use the one attached in that same post     

The bug thing I posted comes from when 1.5 was released (where some new lines of text were added)... there are some parts that can't be translated (as shown in the pics) and therefore are shown in English. For what I understand that text is hard-coded but assigning that variable shouldn't be a big deal.

It affects all the languages except English, but again is a minor thing.

The specific lines are:
%s dropped the %s Flag
%s Flag dropped!

Edit to add, the lines that show the text correctly are formatted as this:

%s got the Yellow Flag
%s returned the Red Flag
%s returned the Blue Flag

So I think that to make the other lines work they should be formatted as:

%s dropped the Red Flag
%s dropped the Blue Flag
Red Flag dropped
Blue Flag dropped

Beside this severe problem, the new polygons on Snakebite are bugged aswell (the ones that allow opponents to go through, near flagspots). When you shoot through them, the bullets do no damage at all.

This is 768x480 widescreen, on 4:3 monitor, fullscreen:

It happened on my PC when I wanted to choose resolution without registration...

Could you atleast look at the f***ing screenshots?
The game being reg/unreg doesn't affect this at all. The problem is that the widescreen windowed version (16:9) gets stretched into 4:3 monitor, cause the black bars doesn't appear in that case. Srsly -.-.

Why do you set resize to 100%?
If I understand correctly, you have a 800x600 desktop, right?
Then simply set Soldat resolution to 800x480 windowed and without resize.
The only downside is that you'll see your desktop.

No, I'm using 1280x1024, with that resolution the interface/chat/killog are abit too small for quick noticing. I'm used to playing with my whole monitor filled up with game-screen. That's why resize option is so great, I can use 1024x768 (while having my desktop at 1280...) and make it fill up the whole monitor for me. Anyways, rami already fixed it , yaaaaaaaay ^^.

Modified "Spectators can only use Team Chat in Survival Mode while a round is active" can be enabled with AntiSpy_Chat=1 in soldat.ini.

Similar option is already available...
Set Spectator_Chat=0 from Soldat.ini and now spectators' chats can only be seen by spectator team.

Could you atleast look at the f***ing screenshots?

Could you atleast look at the fucking monitor?
You have 4:3 monitor and you're trying to play 768x480 (16:10)... Is it so difficult to choose 640x480...?

Yes, since he won't be able to see as much as 16:10 users. It looks like you have no idea what the aspect ratio argument is about.

[ramirez]

The bug is fixed now so all is good.

[DutchFlame]

haha

[Sipar]

Hey, it happens with 1680x1050 (idk about higher, but it doesnt on default one) resolution. Checkout attached screen. The kill console shows like one less line than it should, on next kill it is moved up and previous kill is all shown, but now the last kill isn't, and so on.

Shoozza, you are our God!
Seriously, you do soooooooooooooooooooooo much better than any other Soldat developer I've ever seen (I play since 1.3).

[No ofense, MM, I love you ]

Good job, I don't think you hear it enough.

Your post is so preposterous, I've had huge doubts if I should even bother responding to it. But well, one last leap of faith.

Look up the word 'team' in a dictionary, there should be a reference to a word called 'cooperation', look that up too if you must.
