SOLDAT 1.6.9 RELEASED!
« on: October 31, 2015, 02:07:32 am »
After a long delay I present you: Soldat 1.6.9!

A big thank you to everyone in the dev team who helped with this version especially Exhunter for the scriptcore work and fixing bugs.
Also thanks to urraka for helping in debugging some left over bugs before the release and with releasing this version.

In this release the client enjoyed some minor graphical updates and bugfixes.
On the server side most changes are script core changes and again bug fixes.

Here are some highlights of this version:

New default grahics by L[one]R and Michal Zajaczkowski


New gui theme


Numpad taunts for those who need them

Fixed bugs like high cpu useage when starting a game several times


New map design for ctf_Death (Video)


Bonus screenshot of ctf_Division remake for the brave ;)

I'd like to thank everyone from the community who helped getting this release done.
Special thanks go to MrBungle and L[one]R for their last minute help. /takeoff


You can find the download links at the end of this post.

The text of the changelog is really small, I think this is what he meant. What about putting the list of changes in spoiler with normal sized font?

I've honestly been missing you too MrBungle, and I'm sure we will share even more and greater experiences together.
I'll be more available now that I've set up Mirc to open on start-up, after a win10 install.

Minecraft is epic, we need to set up a server that will stay open even if Fryer goes to sleep (for the record, the issue wasn't that he went to sleep, it was that he hadn't gone up yet). I also want to invite some more guys from the Soldat community so that we can speed up the mining process a bit and allways have someone to play with.

As for Soldat I've been missing it a lot. There's just no other game that I can feel like I contribute to something! I wish I could code so that I could help Shoozza more, and I wish I was a better mapper so I could remake some maps, but I'll contribute where I know how to. Maybe I will organize Mantis Bugtracker like a Nazi would organize the Jews (Ya, I took a chance on a slightly offensive joke)

Lastly, Happy Haloween everyone! And this might be strange but I have this funny picture in my head that Shoozza goes out knocking on peoples doors looking like spaghetti code :) That shit is scary >.<

FYI- a lot of people -including myself- are reporting lag spikes on this version of Soldat and we believe it could be the client and not the server as other users connected to the same server are unaffected. So far those who are experiencing this are users on Win7 x64. Have you guys noticed as well? Thanks.
