Quick Questions

[Akinaro]

I found similar topic in other forum, and because i see loots of small questions, I thing this topic should fit here pretty good.

You have question/suggestion? Dev gonna say if its possible, if it "in the work" or gonna be implemented to game.

Idea is simple:

• One question/suggestion per post.
• ONLY DEVS CAN REPLY
• No OffTopic discussions
• NO DISCUSSIONS! OK?
• Moderators will delete ALL post that aren't questions to devs

Its look like a bit weird idea, but this should clarify some basic knowledge of users.
Its better than discussion topic because there is question and then answer, so no offtopic talk or looking for answer in all sites of topic. Everything is in one place.

For example I'll start with first question:

Do you gonna change lobby, so number of players in servers will not count bots as a "players"?
Because for now when you load lobby, you get fake number of players currently playing in soldat and in individual servers.
For example when you load list and set to show servers with more players on top... it show empty servers with bots(mostly zombie servers).
Its a bit like lying about how many people currently play: now it show me that there is 175 players playing soldat but from this 175 only 75 are real players, rest 100 are bots that are in empty servers, and most of them have script that kick bots when there is more than 1 players on the server.

Its seems that is small trifle but its... well, a bit like lying :/ Bots should be counted separately.

There's a filter which excludes/includes bots in lobby.

There are maybe 3 active zombie servers(if that). Only take this into account if you have time to spare. Admins using bots as 'fillers' when no one is playing have to realize most of the players(including me) have 'include bots' unchecked in filter settings. Also bots in their current state are pretty much useless nowadays.

That would exclude servers with 30 people and a single bot though, Bonecrusher.

I'll take a look at the player counter as it shouldn't be counting bots. Though I can't promise it'll be fixed in time for 1.6.7. Fixed in next 1.6.7 beta.

Will you guys make the Barrett m82 have a reload time ?
Yes it has a reload time I knew but its faster then the pistol reload really unrealistic and stupid.
Obviously it should have even longer reload then the AK or Steyr not shorter, cause you have 10 Instant kill bullets in it and a reload less then a second while ak and steyr can kill around 2-3 enemies and have longer reload time.
In some hand I understand that the reload in RL ain´t too long but still not even the AKs or Steyrs is so long, It would simple be nice and balanced.

It sounds as if you're playing on a modded server. All the weapons have an actual reload time of ReloadTime + FireInterval. For the default mod's Barrett, this is 70 + 225 = 295 ticks = 4.92 seconds. The Socom has 52 + 10 = 62 ticks = 1.03 seconds.

if it's working then, I got a question: am I right, chainsaw ammo is unlimited? I can't make it limited by modding? if yes then it was bad idea, it ruined modding!@#$

For now it's hard coded to be unlimited. Maybe I'll fix it for 1.6.8 or 1.7.

I don't understand, I want chainsaw to have a limited amount of bullets, so we have to reload, now we don't have to because it is unlimited. What are you talking about?

PS I suggest to make this topic sticky

Hello.


Is the switch to the AllegroGL planned for the next version (after 1.6.7)?


Thank you.

No mod chainsaw today. Me fix next version. You happy.

FryFry is the only one who can give a decent estimate for when that's ready. I suppose you could ask him directly on IRC. Though Shoozza and me have informally agreed to make a Soldat release every few months. So if the Allegro junk isn't ready come summer, then we'll likely release an 1.6.8 without it.

My goal is 1.6.8. This may or may not happen.

[CheeSeMan.]

Is there any plans to give Soldat a working anti-cheat again?

[Dusty]

Now that the prone cancelling issue is being sorted out, will the shorter nade delay return?

[Adam]

will we be able to make explosions longer? For example, instead of having only 16 explosions we can have like 25, so it looks better and more smoother in-game

Yes. Mr is still adding the final touches to it though.

I don't see the connection between nade delay and prone canceling. The main reason nade delay was lengthened a sliver was because it was a bit too easy to nade yourself by throwing a nade with the weakest throw possible. Another reason was to make it less effective to "carpet bomb" someone below you with all your nades at once.

Wait, do you want the explosions longer or smoother? I can do smoother easy. Though if I'm going to code this, I would preferably also want someone to send me a series longer than the current 16 so I can make it the new default.

[Adam]

will something like this be able to be implemented?


(the kill console)

Sure, seems simple enough. Though what does the helmet in the kill console mean? no discussions (talk in the suggestion thread about it...)

If you have writing permissions set to owner/group level on gamestat.txt and/or the logs directory, make sure the owner of both is the same as the user running soldatserver.

[Vucgy92]

Will the standard interface/guns be changed?
To be honest I really don't care I can mod them but if someone downloads the first time soldat in life and sees this :
He wont even play it cause the most of todays players are cod and bf fanboys who want nice graphics and good looking weapons.
So why not use Soldat EVO ?
PS: Yes I like the weapon looks cause I paly soldat since many years so the weapons now should be in the mod folder at default

[15th_account]

Will the standard interface/guns be changed?

Sure. I could change it for the subsequent release after 1.6.7. Though I would need to figure out the legality of just taking a mod without the author's permission. Soldat Evolved does at first look seem like a great improvement, while retaining the classic Soldat style.

[Akinaro]

If you gonna use new weapons graphic, maybe you would consider using sounds from qb Mod?
http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=41845.0

As I checked in few free sound sites most of this sounds are free(beside its impossible to find author of sound).

In my opinion, and opinion of other users Soldat sound way better with them, especially:
HK MP5
AK-74
Styer AUG
Nades
Barrett

They sound more real, they have more low levels so its more pleasant to listen. here are this sounds:

[Shoozza]

question/request.

can we have any of these made:

procedure StopSound
ends sound

procedure PauseSound
pause the sound at current point

procedure ContinueSound
continues a paused sound from where it was paused

procedure RestartSound
starts the sound from the beginning

just to let everyone know: there is PlaySound and it does work
so it would be nice to have all those extra onces


...Please...

Please don't PM me telling me to read your post (while also copy pasting it in the PM).

I think Falcon and ExHunter will have to reply if they want to implement this. I don't see a huge need for it atm, in the future maybe.

EDIT: Note this is not a discussion thread if you want to discuss things create one for the feature/suggestion etc.
