Muting a team is not needed for Steam release. I have never needed it.

I wonder who comes up with the idea to add such useless redundant things to soldat... and why..

[homerofgods]

I needed it last time I played. A guy was spamming up the chat with racist stuff all the time. If that had happened to a new player from steam he would be wondering where the report button is

You needed a team mute to ban one player? As you mentioned - even the report button would be more useful, than this useless feature u can add to your server using simple scripts :x

they like to waste effort 'fixing' nothing, like always
instead of fixing the whole interface system

You guys are so mean. Just let Shosho enjoy his spamless KO sessions.

This is a good idea - reporting players from in game. However, we shouldn't be focused on removing players from the game when we are so low on numbers already. If anything we should be targeting hackers first and foremost.

Also, please add something to help beginners.. I have already seen a recent influx of new players in the past few months on the oneshots servers. Two things always happen:

1. They are way outclassed... half the server are vets who have been playing for years and new players can barely get a few kills in. Imagine how disheartening it must be to not even get a KD of 1 every single game.

2. They are then teased and harassed to the max by their own team. This is to be expected but certainly doesn't help these players from returning again.

This could be very easily fixed with in-game training which will atleast encourage these players. Or someone could take the lead and create a server SOLELY for noobs. Admins of this server would kick/ban vets or any player that is obviously leagues ahead and encourage these new players.

- Some admins use unofficial test versions in production. These versions include scriptcore improvements by falcon (included in 1.. I will look into the changes falcon made and if possible add them to the 1.7.2 release (instead of waiting for 1.8.0)

That is what I want to see Shoozza!!
You are great!

A good idea, however, there will always be a guy who has been playing for some time entering this server and killing all the noobs, the solution would be a way of knowing how long the player who entered already plays this game and move to the spectators.
I agree to create a tutorial in the first 3-5 times that the player enters, a tutorial that is not boring (5 minutes in length) and show the good things in the game

But seriously, I bet it's gonna be the end of the month.

[Shoozza]

Did I mention the year tho?
Fun aside: I'd like to release asap. I know everyone is waiting but sadly I'm having a hard time to free up quality free time for working on soldat. So the development pace is disappointing.
There are other things besides development that need to be done and I hope MM finds the time to post about the trailer competition he wanted to do some time ago.

Should be posted ASAP as if we really want a decent trailer than video editors should have some time to create it.
