Really? On the 9th? I hope not, that seems too soon for server hosts to prepare, and for thorough testing.

Edit: Just downloaded and installed the patch, ended up with errors resulting from starting with a mod.



This mod worked fine on the previous version.

Server 2.7.3rc1 Patch includes a soldat.ini file. What are the changes in that file?

Oh I didn't add 'load default soldat files when mod doesn't have all files'.
- Fixed

Nothing major actually. I will have to make sure this doesn't happen again

1. Got same "Error loading texture" while launching a mod.
2. I guess that "Soldat 1.6.3rc1 Patch" installer doesn't replace the \txt\font.ini with corresponding *.ini file from \txt\languages\ folder regarding a selected language. Didn't check a full version installer.
3. I couldn't join my servers (updated from 1.6.3b1). Here is a log from admin-client:

09:14:05 *.*.*.*:23080 requesting game...
09:14:05 Exception raised while sending
09:14:09 *.*.*.*:23080 requesting game...
09:14:09 Exception raised while sending

I got the same problem, and it seems that its happen only on linux servers.

So this is it! Time to start my crusade for making realistic Spas balanced...

So we have 2 days to find crucial errors in this release candidate. If there are none, it's a wrap

[Shoozza]

Ok the server bug was fixed. I will release rc2 in a few hours (if nothing happens).

ctf_Crucifix is in the rc... I sure hope that is a misstake.

Tested it right now on Rc1. Took a demo if you want to see how it worked out. Was pretty good actually.

It's no mistake, it's the only map added. Thanks for the report, we added that in the changelog.

I don't think you can say that after such a short time when you have allready made up your mind by the look of it. I don't know, either way, here's the demo if anyone wan'ts to see:

I tested the map like 2-3 months ago (maybe more)... and it was just so shitty.

Stop crying bitch, because my map is gonna be public instead of your crap! FU!

I think you are talking about ctf_Cruz. And yes, that one had limited gameplay. Crucifix was released in April. You will play this again and you'll see how it is now.
