So fast even I didn't see it coming until the last minute. GJ fixing those bugs with superspeed while I was away!

Just noticed that i forget to include up to date update.sh and update.txt files

here the original content:

update.sh

#!/bin/bash

PATCH_DIR=$(cd $(dirname "$0");pwd)
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
        TARGET_DIR="$PATCH_DIR"
elif [ $# -eq 1 ]; then
        TARGET_DIR=$(cd "$1";pwd)
else
        echo "Usage: ./update.sh soldatserver_dir"
        echo "If you want to patch multiple servers at the same time you can use the *nix utility find:"
        echo "Example: find server* -maxdepth 0 -exec ./update.sh \"{}\" \\;"
        exit
fi

if [ ! -d "$TARGET_DIR" ]; then
        echo "Usage: ./update.sh soldatserver_dir"
        exit
fi

if [ ! -f "$TARGET_DIR/soldat.ini" ]; then
        echo "Usage: ./update.sh soldatserver_dir"
        exit
fi

echo "Patching server: $TARGET_DIR"

cd $TARGET_DIR

if [ "$PATCH_DIR" != "$TARGET_DIR" ]; then
        cp -r $PATCH_DIR/* .
fi

rm -rf ./update.txt ./update.sh ./soldatserver.exe ./soldatserver_lazarus.exe ./soldatserver_delphi.exe ./soldatserver_legacy.exe ./soldatserver_lazarus ./soldatserver_delphi
if [ -f "./soldatserver" ]; then
        chmod +x ./soldatserver
fi
if [ -f "./soldatserver_legacy" ]; then
        chmod +x ./soldatserver_legacy
fi

if [ -f "./soldatserver_osx" ]; then
        chmod +x ./soldatserver_osx
fi

sed -i "/PacketRate_Adjusting=.*/d" "$TARGET_DIR/soldat.ini"

echo "Patched!"

update.txt

How to update the server:

If you're on *nix run the update.sh script in the patch directory to automatically patch the server.
To manually update the patch, do the following steps:

1) Add all the files (overwrite existing files) from the patch, except for update.txt and soldat.ini
2) Remove following entries in your existing soldat.ini:
     PacketRate_Adjusting=1
3) chmod +x the soldatserver* files

Done!

does this mean the wm will remain fucked up? Soldat is dead to me -_-

[Flym]

lol Great Job. Lets hawk around 

[Raged`]

STEYR -2 DMG? OMG

[ginn]

first gather feels better than before :o ... can't really make an opinion before a cw though.

[Atomic]

HK MP5 dmg -2 WHY?  It should be -1, imo.

[jrgp]

Nice job guys. Does this make 1.6.4 the shortest release ever?

[Atomic]

Good job on the release guys.  It seems a lot smoother now!

[squiddy]

Great version!

Played a gather and it feels definitely better than 1.6.4. I just think Steyr is still too opped
Overall, great work!

[ginn]

Alright this is good again, can still tie even if you're 40-50 kills behind.

[Bait]]

WTF another version?!!! The bugs ot rotten are fixed?...

[Vos]

Such a brief release, good choice to do it so fast anyways! well done.

cant wait to test some things out

[Denacke]

Sounds great, will update my servers soon

Thanks for the quick action dev team!

Why do you get bink from teammates when using rett?

You don't. The green dot on the upper right on my screen is atleast not affected.
