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:

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.
