This update contains mostly general commands?

[homerofgods]

What will code refactoring do? It's basicly rewriting the code to make it more simple right? And that could lead to a more responsive program?

In the past, when we fixed / changed stuff, usually new bugs occured, because some code parts were left out by the fix or change. Refactoring helps to prevent this, be it replacing weapon id numbers with constants, or making repetetive code shared, so that it's only in one place.

It'll not be really noticable (atleast right now), but it will help with improving stuff later on.

What do you mean?

I guess I better get back to Soldat and adjust the star and flag icons. Thanks for fixing this by the way. I wonder how the fixed medkit/grenade kit bug will affect current maps..

[ExHunter]

[...] I wonder how the fixed medkit/grenade kit bug will affect current maps..

Me too. But this should be an improvement, since now finally kits only spawn there where they meant to be. We will see

[DutchFlame]

Nice nice dudes, any updates on what you're working on to get the new version out? *desperate for 1.7

[kicikici]

sc3 gmute stuff similar to ban stuff <beg for it>

[L[0ne]R]

If you need to test the fix #601, I've attached new flag and star graphics here:

cool cool keep it up =)

[Fryer]

GJ with the bot movement scripting stuff, that'll open up some nice possibilities for scripted mission type game modes or just better AI in general for whoever feels like that's a thing they need. Any chance of also getting control over their aiming and shooting?

[Mistercharles]

Could someone give me a quick rundown on ScriptCore? It's been a while since I've been here, I searched around a bit but couldn't find anything. Is it like, for programming game modes? Because I would have a fucking field day with this.

[DarkCrusade]

Server scripts enhance the gameplay, or offer utility for those that run them. There are scripts as simple as displaying your kill/death ratio, and as complex as entire game modes (Last Stand, Hexer, Miracle mod, etc.). Keep in mind though that writing your very own game mode is tedious work, and almost impossible if you have no experience in programming, and/or planning big projects.

Programmer for thirteen years, college degree in engineering and mathematics, thank you very much

This is fabulous, though. Does the dedicated server install have a bit of documentation, or is there a library wiki or something?

The Soldat wiki has lots of docs on scriptcore. Look at those sections: http://wiki.soldat.pl/index.php/Main_Page

Although I have no clue what most of these updates mean; Good job devs.
I would love seeing a new map in the next version! It's been a while...
