You show Weaponmod changes in normal mode?

Not sure what you exactly mean but when you play on servers with a weapon mod you should see the weapon mod changes

If you want to know the weapon changes from 1.6.6->1.6.7b1 check out the weapon mod txt files

1. Default soldat.ini (included into setup) doesn't have some settings:

• MusicList (but there is Mp3List left there by accident, I guess)
• Fps_Limit
• High_Resolution_Timer
• Map_Background_Color1
• Map_Background_Color2
• Force_Background_Color

2. Another setting, accidently left after removing TS integration:

• TeamSpeak

3. Tiny visual 'bug' on welcome screen (since 1.6.0 for sure):
FromMain >> PageControl1 >> TabSheet5 >> ExiTTntLabel default Caption is "SOLDAT ..." that later gets overwritten by "Soldat ..." which is noticeable.

4. Animation glitch when proned and moving & stabbing knife

1, 2, 3) Nice finds. Fixed.

4) Meh. Sounds hard to fix. :E Maybe for 1.6.8.

Figured out what the issue with linux was (Indy 10 library is broken on linux after r4989)

I have to check if the that also fixes voting but i guess it could.

I need to add some update stuff then the next beta can be released.

Why automatic weapons (AK74, Minimi, Steyr, MP5) not have bink?

[15th_account]

They haven't had any in almost three years. The reason the autos lost their self-bink was because self-bink was terribly broken back then. As for why they haven't regained self-bink now that the inaccuracy system is improved is because the way self-bink was intended to work - which was to force auto users to fire in short bursts - doesn't really fit into Soldat's intended arcade-y 80s action movie feel.

I mean, could you imagine Arnold or Stallone going "Guah, I should fire in moderation so as to improve accuracy and conserve ammo" in Predator or Rambo 2?

Maybe self-bink could be applied to one weapon for the sake of variety though, e.g. Minimi or Minigun.

f12 for minimi
