What would you like to see in soldat 1.7.2?

[jrgp]

Do you guys know his IP address so I can iptables block it?

He uses random turkish ip.

i guess i can block the entire country of turkey from hitting my servers but that might piss off some people

please add new option to this poll: fix bug used by some turkish random dickhead which cause very small and irrelevant problem that soldatserver wants to eat my entire cpu without leaving at least very small piece

True. Many people talk about it. This fool attacks the servers and CPU usage increases to 200-1000%.

It looks like dos/ddos attack or something like that.

I think I'm experiencing this. Do you guys know his IP address so I can iptables block it?

His nickname:
Militus | Programisius

I created a dedicated server and he join (yesterday and two days ago) to the server using this IP address:

(81.213.44.71:41473) HWID:2F9DD1BF2F5

And he speaks on public servers that "he is working with Shoozza".

No options for fixing nade/med-kit spawns, and wm? Those are of highest priority.
Also integrated gather/pick-up/ranked is a MUST, same could be used for "quick match", where it just throws everyone into a server with certain criteria (like 3v3 or 4v4, and close to SCTFL settings).

[derek10]

Ranked matchmaking system is what EVERY popoulated game uses now, even if its a dream to what Soldat is right now, it should be at least on TODO list, couldn't think of something better than this, would be amazing, glorious.

Oh...Turkish, that reminds me of someone... a guy/girl/gey/whatever , he is super annoying and talks like a 13yo. He alos has bad habit starting sentences with lower case letters and smashing things made of glass.

07 (1.8%) add auto mouse capture after alt+tab ^{what was that about again?}

XvayS
i guess you missunderstood it, Shz
it should be fixed/removed (a mouse capture by OpenGL window), because mouse doesn't interact with the rest of OS GUIs intill you make a rightclick

Shoozza
ah so fix mouse actions affect non soldat applications
while mouse is grabbed

[soldat-game]

add banner in gui for sctfl 1.7.2

Why do you advertise the content of your friends so much?
Supreme pryjorytet for something that is to be executed in literally 1.5min xXDDDDD

[ginn]

So nothing really important is going to be fixed.
How can you expect new players with a completely broken wm, and bugged out nade/med-kit drops?

It's the competitive scene for soldat.

06 (1.6%) remove ugly/useless maps ^{why should they be removed? do they annoy people?}

I think that maps like ctf_Ruins which are not even being played on publics are just waste of time for person who is going to remake them with new graphics. Better to replace them with fresh ones from gather maplist or just reduce the amount of maps and contantly update them on steam (people like this kind of news). Probably in others gamemodes there are also these kind of useless maps which don't bring anything new to gameplay.

Maybe if u were a bit more interested, you wouldn't have missed 10pages of drama here on the forums, where we were discussing this topic. There were also resons provided by the map team on slack. So I'll treat this question as a joke.

Please don't treat this as a joke. I'm not interested in the drama but the reasons behind it.
Speaking of the slack team: You might have noticed that I'm not part of the slack team (would prefer if we used discord). Please don't expect me to know all the details you discussed while I wasn't there.
I didn't follow much of the development while I wasn't part of the dev team.
If you don't want to update me on the topic, that's fine.

[Viral]

You were still in the devteam when te whole Slack idea launched, and basically the whole map dev team project was gravitating around the idea of removing ugly maps. The whole drama/discussion evolved from the official statement we posted here on forums, you will everything related to it here. Honestly missing it is kind of amusing, so I guess I'll let you search for it, maybe you will find some other interesting things you missed while looking for it

[Akinaro]

Please don't treat this as a joke. I'm not interested in the drama but the reasons behind it.

Drama is the reason. If you will treat every negative comment, or longer discussion as "drama" you will never gonna do anything.

Please don't expect me to know all the details you discussed while I wasn't there.
I didn't follow much of the development while I wasn't part of the dev team.

As Viral said its kinda amusing and funny.
Im not even near the dev team, for past 2 years Im not active at all, I dont even have game installed on my laptop, Im checking forum only when some friend tell me that someone post something interesting, and its look like I know more about current state of game than you... amazing...

If you don't want to update me on the topic, that's fine.

Sorry to burst your bubble but if you accepted to be dev again, for free, in your free time, its your damn F job to be updated. Its a matter of spending maybe 40 minutes checking forum and asking people what is going on.
If you cant spend few minutes to check what people need what they talk about and what they think... I will not even think how screwed Soldat is because of that...

Steam or not, if this is approach you, and rest of devs gonna take. Just give up, seriously, it will be like kicking dead body in grave. It will be the same as for past years, where we have bunch of friends that tinker game for their own needs, that dont give a flying cow about overall situation, game market and players need.
You will probably gonna spend all time making the game for few competitive players from gather and literally pissing on other players and idea of getting new ones. Like you all forgot that your beloved "competitive players from gather" played first in public servers, that guess what? Is the first place new players check, and right now when new player install Soldat and enter game, he will quit after few second. If you really treat this job seriously you would do everything to get new players, keep an eye on market your aiming for, get all available help possible, use community to get help, not nurse old morons who will spend rest of their lives talking about how WM for one version is better than other.

[darDar]

I pm'd you with the results from monsteri and the mapping team regarding new map pools..


 

[soldat-game]

best message from 6 months on forum

[miketh2005]

I too would like to know the reason for removing ugly maps.

Since I can no longer vote, my top list:

Add a fun and intuitive tutorial for newbies.

Add matchmaking.

Integrate gather / ranks.

New gui

Anticheat

Click links from chat (optional, but on by default).

Add banners/advertisements

Chatmod

Add images at X, Y position for scripting. Gui for scripting?

Assists

Parallax background and Other graphical improvements

[Ygrek Starmagedon]

I also have one more issue that need to be changed - votekicks. I mean, people are kicking for no reason or afks, but they can't join back afterwards for whole hour; imagine that you are just going back to play and you got kicked for hour...
My proposition is to add various options for votekicking to choose as reasons that would kick players for various amount of time like:

reason - time
afk - 1 minute or no time ban, just kick
hacker - 1 hour
noob/disturbing teammates/teamkiller - 30 minutes
insulting other people - 15 minutes
faking players - 45 minutes
other(type it as usual) - 20 minutes

mention other options/reasons if you think of them. I think this stuff will help with those no reason votekicks and do more just afk kicking.
