Hurraaaa!!! Can't wait to test new stuff, especially SC3 stuff

[gor]

Great,thanks
Are there any new maps planned for the full version?

[homerofgods]

TEST AND REPORT HERE

[CheeSeMan.]

Nice good job =D keep it up!

No weapon mod changes really? Think this has never happened skoskav tired of rolling his dice?

[Petterkowski]

Hope you didn't forget about SCTFL on the Soldat start-up screen/interface, and i hope this is already taken care of? 1, 2.

[BaneOfDeath]

Can add:  TActivePlayer.MouseAimX/Y  write also for player.

[homerofgods]

Hope you didn't forget about SCTFL on the Soldat start-up screen/interface, and i hope this is already taken care of? 1, 2.

It was added and it shows up the first time you start soldat, but after a startup that image file gets replaced automatically by an empty file. Shoozza will ask jrgp about it. I will make sure to test it again in next beta

[Hubiq]

IMO Bink in barrett could be a little bigger... and persist for a little longer (2-3 sec).

New models of weapons are very nice 

[Shoozza]

Yeah I have to remind jrgp about this again and ask Furai if nothing happens.

Ah right we have new weapon gfx (forgot to mention them in the changelog!)
There is a thread with some discussion about this, uh, somewhere.. you should probably post there.

[BaneOfDeath]

TActivePlayer.Vest - missing Please add yet in 1.6.9

[BaneOfDeath]

Add Game.PlayerLeft (FOR DEADMATCH and SURVIVAL)

[JotEmI]

Please test test test test and test!

Especially survival players: Please test! I remade most of survival stuff, but lonely testing isn't effective!

We've tested survival a little bit and generally it's ok. Most annoying bugs have been fixed. There are couple of things though:
1. Invisible shield has been fixed but knife still gets blocked when it hits a corpse. We in DB community feel it should behave the way it's used to - knife should be able to fly through a corpse and be able to hit a person crouching/proning behind it.
2. In CTF, during those 5s when round is ending it's not possible to return your flag to base. If the flag is already in base you can however score a cap if you manage to bring enemy flag within those 5s (this results in 2 pts. being awarded, 1 for killing enemy team and 1 for capping).
3. Joining a team during a round doesn't spawn you anymore but one time we did manage to respawn a player. It happened when both surviving players killed each other (resulting in no one being alive) and another player joined the server at that moment. He did got respawned and the round didn't end.

That's all for now, if we find anything else I'll post it.

1. This is a good! We in realistic mode like it.

1. I don't know if knifes should go through dead bodies (applying some common sense here: dead body -> object -> impenetrable by a thrown knife). Only mode I think which has disadvantages from that is probably DB (I wouldn't say ko, since you can move around the body.. Just my opinion). What do others think?
2. Should I disable capping after round end generally? Or how should it work? (That you cannot return or grab flags, was previously only in single player mode like this, even tho it was supposed to be a "feature" for multiplayer too)

[homerofgods]

Dead bodies could blink and disappear after a little while, just like flag blinks and goes back to base. It would benefit ctf aswell because right now you can tell when a person spawns by looking at when his corpse disappears.
Other guns can shoot through bodies, but that makes sense I guess since they have more speed than a knife.
I do not think the knife should go through bodies, in that case you should make bodies un-interactable for all guns (no blood comming out of them when you shoot them)

1. If everyone else is against it we won't argue, leave it as it is. Although making bodies disappear after a while, like homerofgods suggested, would be a nice feature.
2. In DB we don't use flags so it doesn't really matter to us. I think ppl from realistic should give their opinion.

[Bistoufly]

If I was a DB player the current situation would make me pretty sad. When I play ctf and it happens, it annoys me but it's a rare occurrence so I don't lose sleep over it. Still in a game-play perspective, I would prefer if dead bodies don't interact. Except in realistic mode, obviously.

[BaneOfDeath]

It can simply add a new feature in the settings?

Hi Hunty , everything is fine, except for weapons that remain on the map after round.
Couldnt test much stuff with bots...but thats all i noticed so far.

- Option Survival_Clear_Weapons added in GAME section of soldat.ini

set that value clientsided or serversided to 1 (depending on if soloplayer or multiplayer) and there you go. Then they get cleared.

[Puure]

Spiderman fixed hurra!, new shit incoming hurra?
Player jumps lower!... yes. Soldatic gravity is bigger. Again someone threw shit in our faces (climbers).
I will not write at length, so here is example jump (A/D + jump). Player touches lower polygons.

1.6.8 and earlier: 12 deaths/30 attempts = easy jump
1.6.9 beta: 30 deaths/30 attempts = da fak??
It's only one of thousands similar jumps. I tested it with other climbers. Difference is big.
Fix this shit pls.

[ExHunter]

No, soldat's gravity is not bigger.
No, player jumps are not lower.

Only polygon corners/edges/slopes kill now if you touch them. That's all. And that was requested to be fixed by climbers (http://bugs.soldat.pl/view.php?id=484).

Mind your language, please.

[CheeSeMan.]

haha climbers killer their own game mode? Thats what happens when all you do is whine!

Sorry been busy, Yes it worked

[homerofgods]

Here is my take on how ctf survival should work:

Here are our options:
#1 Both flag return and capping is enabled after round end
#2 Both flag return and capping is disabled after round end
#3 Flag return is enabled, but capping is disabled
#4 Flag return is disabled, but capping is disabled <--(current solution)

If you disable flag return or capping after round end, the flags would essentially become useless/unnecessary. How can you cap once your flag has been stolen from the base?
Therefor we should go with option #1

Another gamebreaking problem:
If you play ctf survival, the point of the game is to win by caps right? Except it's not. It's the combined points from both killing and capping that creates a win.
If you have capture limit set to 2 and start the game, you can win by having 1 kill and 1 cap.
I think this is wrong and needs to be changed so that only caps gets points.

Such change would need to be discussed further with some survival players, but regardless of that the #1 option is the best.

[SneS]

The new version is needed very fast because fewer and fewer people playing soldat 

[whitdemon]

Im that guy, please just release it on steam, even if not for free, a small price will get ALOT of players

[L[0ne]R]

Im that guy, please just release it on steam, even if not for free, a small price will get ALOT of players

And a lot of those players will likely quickly lose interest, and many of them might never come back if they see that it's just "Soldat on Steam". We should wait at least until v1.7 which should have major improvements and rewrites, hopefully also including proper high-resolution support. Then people will see that it's more than just "Soldat on Steam" and that there will be more coming to be worth sticking around.

Why are people still holding onto the fantasy we call 1.7 lol.

[homerofgods]

JotEmI Wich one of theese would be good for survival?
-Flag return and capping is enabled after round end (After enemy team is dead you can still cap or return flag)
-All players are killed immediately after round end (Once you've killed the last enemy you will also die before you have the chance to cap or return flag)

[JotEmI]

I personally opt for the first one - "Flag return and capping is enabled after round end".
If someone wants/needs second functionality it can be achieved with scripting.

[homerofgods]

I made a bugreport because it feels buggy when you can't return flag. It's not something that was introdused with 1.6.9.b1 though so it might get fixed at a later time. Feel free to comment in the ticket if you find any better solutions.

[SneS]

Any news about 1.6.9 version?

a steam release is the only thing that could give this game life at the moment

[Moroes]

a steam release might be the only thing that could give this game life once the game gets polished and ready

Heh, had to correct your statement. I just don't feel like putting 10 years old (or more) ugly game on steam is the way to redemption. Some of the bugs have to be fixed, weapons balanced, code rewritten to get the game more stable, gui reworked and graphics polished before it hits the steam. The game gotta look fresh to regain its glory and then maybe get back to competitive scene. I'd definitelly love popular competitive 2D shooter and soldat is the best candidat but it's not "trendy" enough . I don't want to change mechanics much or change the game into a colourful monster, a kitsch. The game just shall get more up-to-datish.

That's how I feel it. If only that happened anytime soon.

[CCalp]

@Moroes: IMHO Soldat was great enough once there would be a proper anti-hack enginge. I mean, some sort of bugginess has to be givevn to make it Soldat. And the "ugly" graphics is part of it, too. I am pretty sure there are still people out there who appreciate games like that and don't need newest 3D graphics and stupid merchandising shit to like a fucking "game"

Yeah, this is pretty accurate.  For long term an anti cheat is a good idea especially gearing towards a competitive community.  Soldat is on its last legs, and to make a last stand you're right making this game look more modern is a big thing.  Even without upgrading the gui, a GOOD mod (used as default) with redone everything (textures, weapons, sounds, everything) would be enough to buy us some time.  It's pretty crazy what just changing a mod can do.  When I switch from default to the original cell shaded mod its like playing another game, literally.  Basically setting up soldats default as something pretty or something new players would like.  Everyone on here already has there custom mod they've used for years ready to load so we shouldn't care. 

Re-doing the netcode at this point would be asking for a little much.  I actually like 'EATS' lol, it adds another variation to game play lolol.  But honestly I don't really even notice them anymore.  Sometimes I get stuck on a poly but big deal, I don't think that's a game breaker...

Soldat is unique it's what kept me staying here.  It's interesting in the sense, nothing is up-gradable everyone has access to the same weapons- yet everyone has different play-styles.  There are movement bugs, boosting?? the team play.. the list goes on lol.  That should be highlighted with some kind of hyped out video haha.

IRC integration with preset soldat/relevant channels is a MUST in my opinion as well.

[Shoozza]

I recently finished the SCTFL banner.gif loading code (was broken after server updates).

According to the bugtracker there are 4 bugs left to be fixed:

• Unable to download other version of the map
• Invisible shield
• having 24 chars in game results in HWID fail
• won't respawn in survival

The 24 chars HWID fail is a scripting issue on ExHunters server which I cannot investigate or fix. That means 3 more bugs till 1.6.9.

[Hubiq]

I'm afraid that the new version will not be released... People leave the dev team, very few people playing on public servers, In SCTFL played... 4 clans (!!!). It's really the end of the game.

But I hope that version 1.6.9 will be released.

Anyway... What about add SOLDAT to the STEAM platform?

[Shoozza]

The new version will be released give it a few weeks...

As for Steam: Maybe when it works better on new pcs

[No-Mercy]

Can we please DELETE Votekick option?
Every day I saw people complaining( ) because soldat is dying. There are 5 fucking server with players and still UNFAIR votekicks.
I can't tolerate this shit anymore guys. Please I hate being kicked for one hour just because kids decide to votekick without reason.
If you want no cheater in your fucking server, then be active on it and find some good admins. Votekick should be deleted.

[Hubiq]

In the last week I saw 5 cheaters with teleport-hack and no-recoil in barrett. Everyone used "Soldat 1.6.8 hax by Rev".

I really want a 1.6.9 version...

[Moroes]

Haha Rev, that old bastard.
I saw the same situation, looks like his hack went viral. I hope it wasn't you bitchin about that ingame.

[Izzy Rose (PL)]

As for Steam: Maybe when it works better on new pcs

Hurry up, Soldat need to hit the Steam to rescue our community. It is ill and dying. We have last - being optimistic - year to put it on Steam and charge servers with new players.

I feel like most of new players I meet on servers (more and more empty servers...) are just casuals, who found Soldat in net and taken it as a short-term adventure with "hipster old game". Play maximum 4 weeks and throw it away...
We need to pull into the game new radicals, maniacs, who will do fast-paced shootout like drugs, at least 4h daily.

All these things depend on game versions development. I'm not "demander", who sits and want to be pleased. I can make new gfx, if needed, but as you said, removing bugs and glitches (and improving protection against hax) is most important now.

Time's running, unfortunately.
If you watch JoeMonster, brainlessly scroll down muzzlebook, or watch stupid clips on YouTube, stop it.
Freelancer pro-tip: If you are starting work, you MUST end your free time. In order of this put your throusers on.
Future of Soldat community is in your hands.

[Shoozza]

I think MrBungle highlighted the right parts in this image on irc:


Most important is the next release. Thanks for the reminder.

[DutchFlame]

What about 15 seems legit

[urraka]

I vote that we remove intro

[jrgp]

I vote that we remove intro

+1

Completely useless and gets in the way when I just want to play the game. Maybe just leave it disabled by default, but I can't imagine why anyone would want to enable it.

[BKT]

I think MrBungle highlighted the right parts in this image on irc:

7, 11 - wat!?
12 - FACT!

5, though not highlighted, is also very true...

[Izzy Rose (PL)]

1 - yup, I guess that it's caused with fact, that menu interface is "windows-like" and intro doesn't fit to it. It's not consistent.
2 - bullshit - look at LoL.
3 -
4 - Shit happens, Soldat has more than 10 years, it's natural that back then it was innovation in the genre.
5 - Because versions are builded very slow and I suppose that devs probably forget what they did last time when were sitting in compiler. It gives a impression of not detailed work on next versions.
6 - What tutorial?
7 - It's normal game for normal players, not for nowadays twats who can't handle the fact, that game hasn't "reload" popup during gameplay.
8 - Random situations are random. This game isn't linear, you can't rate it this way.
9 - ... What?
10 - Some sort of true. Today gamers have lust of rewards... I don't know what to do with that.
11 - Some sort of true also. To be good and play fluently on servers, you have to train quite long.
12 - Yup...
13 - What?
14 - Servers, you idiot, sessions you have in AA club. Shit happens, we know that servers are empty.
15 - It's complicated... But I have some idea!
16 - YES.

[DarkCrusade]

Izzy, it is a list speaking of problems with games in general. Only the highlighted ones concern Soldat.

[rOy]

Hey guys

Soldat is a really DEAD

- no clans
- no climbers
- IRC (almost) dead

When will the new version? = still DEAD!

PS: my opinion

[SneS]

Exactly. Where is this new version?

[DutchFlame]

dont worry, the soldat beta team will take care of things, like they have in the past few years
