minor game improvements
« on: September 27, 2006, 11:40:12 pm »
As I recently have become more and more aware that MM has quit working on Sodlat in any major way, I suggest that the forum section entitled Game Improvements / Suggestions be renamed to Minor Game Enhancements since no actual improvements / suggestions are to be implemented anymore.  Perhaps even remove this section altogether or merge it with the bugs and glitches section since those are the only kinds of improvements MM might bother with...
Can't think of anything original to put here...

What about dedicated server improvements :(
Someone is still working behind the scenes to make major improvements!

well why shouldn't it?  MM according to many (including mods) seized to work on any major game changes.  dedicated server is something very separate from game changes.  I believe he should rly sell it to someone that can make soldat a HIT, considering that it is very unique and is just too underground.

I'd rather it stay underground than become some trendy, overpriced P.O.S.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams it is
still a beautiful world.  Strive to be happy.

I agree completely with you, the reason soldat is popular because it is free, mods are free, maps are free, to play oline is free, and it is great fun and mm doesnt care if you make some crazy soldat stuff...with a company it would be much harser, flieslikeabrick would almost certainly lose his administrator position, and i would seriously hate to see that happen. soldat has so much beyond just playing in a pub once or twice a day, the possibilities for what you can make for it are almost endless. Yet i would love to see the game client go open source still, i would like to keep the server closed source with enesce for the time being, because for a while there would be a shitload of hackers till programmers fixed all the holes which i am sure are many.

A new game mode is not a major improvement?!
