No, I'd start a clan instead ;)

yes id use it.. just for the fun wanna check it out.. XD

yeah me wants to check it out to could be funny

can you notify me when its finished?
please? :D

...no-lifers :P

Rofl, Soldat-Tycoon :P

I can only hope that this one will be finished in the end. Cause the last one (Soldat Team Director or something like that) wanst.

I would surely play it, if it had some nice game/replay value and a lot of useful options. Also some kind of match presentation would be cool.

i love your ja2 sig hercule

damn, i remember JA2, back 3 years ago, when i dled it from Kazaa, spent countless nights and days playing that game, i even went so far as to waking up at 3am and playing it because i can't play in daytime on weekdays....eventually after many saves and loads, i conquered all the areas of the map, except for 5, then i got completely stuck (DAMN TANKS!) and gave up on the game. (I did get to be that Retarded assisent guy get shot in the face though, funny [:-censored].)

No I wouldnt play is sorry...

Don't expect any real-time fights or something, just a console in which you can see who kills who and that kind of info.

But, I've already made a 'beta'. (no download yet)
Some limitations/lacks though, but you can already:

-Create clan (of course)
-Buy/kick players
-Put the players on training
-Show player stats and stuff

But meantime I am faced with a new problem: lack of players in the game.
Do you wanna be in the game? Post this information:

PLAYER NAME
FAVOURITE WEAPON - from the weapons in Soldat
SECONDARY WEAPON - from the secondary weapons in Soldat
ACCURACY - 0-100: 0 is bad, 1 is god-like
AGILITY - 0-100: the higher, the faster the player will move
INTELLIGENCE - 0-100: 0 is bad, 100 is Einstein. (if this is too low, the player can even open fire at his teammates, if it's high, he will select different weapons for different situations and such)

Any suggestions?

haha...

Soldat Mogul 2004

real players/stats

this will be interesting...im curious to know how it'll turn out...

as for the stats...dont you think it'll be a bit bias?

as for your problem...there is definitely not a lack of players in the game...just check out this forum...assuming everyone that signed up for this forum played soldat...we'll use half that number and assume that 1/2 of the forum population "retired"

you still have a ton of ppl that play soldat... O_o
------

Slightly off topic but also in the realm of game dev...

soldat rpg perhaps? that'd be kind of weird...not really sure how it'd work...or how the story line would work or any of that nature...lol...but just a thought...

ok you can use me in your game, stats are as follows:

PLAYER NAME: Jimmy Bones
FAVOURITE WEAPON: m79
SECONDARY WEAPON: Soccom
ACCURACY: 100
AGILITY: 100
INTELLIGENCE: 100

:p

sounds sweet man.. i always loved those 'cm' games.. very nice idea.

AGILITY: 99
INTELLIGENCE: 80

Name: OOMOLOO OMOO

Agility: 100
Intelligence: 0

Wow, nice. So will this be playable online? :P This is basically like an RPG, I'm guessing. Sounds really cool. Good luck.

No, it's more like a manager game.
Online play: wow, I think that 1on1 clan fights with your players actually would work! I'll give it a try after completing the local game part.

OH, DID I TELL YA?
In the beggining of the game, you can only buy players that has an overall value of 33.


BTW, is the name 'Soldat Manager' as a fan app already taken? :/
Jimmy bones' new stats: 0,0,0
Ville's: hehe, sounds good! But I'm sorry, you cannot use a secondary weapon as favourite weapon. And plz select a new name. :)

AND PLEASE NOTICE:
Players with 100,100,100 will cost a LOT of money...

Ok... I'll change it to minigun. And does mine cost alot as its so dumb? :P

PLAYER NAME: palloco

PLAYER NAME: Kazuki

Ville means the weapon, and he means XM214 Minigun. :) Well building up stats and stuff is a lot like an RPG, no matter how you're doing it, but managing sounds good, lol. Good luck once again, and may God have mercy on Dogg. :P

Edit: Bah! As Kevith once said, when it rains it pours...

fuk, i cant wait till its out. i would *love* to help you with evrything (evrything except the things that requiers weird programing languages).

i REALLY hope it'll come out nice, as i think it will. good luck man.

fav pri wep: m79
fav sec wep: soccom

Toumaz nice idea, but seriously, make the stats yourself or have someone do them :P
What i think you could add: popularity, as in a player won't join your clan until you have a certain respect. And maybe some sort of special abilities.. ok we don't have that in soldat but making the game original is better :d

Do you have Microsoft Excel? Because I made a number generator for you to calculate Accuracy, Agility and Intelligence randomly. Then you can use player names and weapons, and randomise their stats.

Download it here

No Droopy, that is MY special ability, go find your own special ability.

Where did bonuses come in? I feel special, because I'm the one with the lowest stats in here. :) Toumaz, you can change my stats to 10 each if you like, so so you can make me a selectable character at the beginning.

No. My stats are 0,0,0. ;P

Oh, I thought you were joking, lol.

better! yay! ok, who will be victim to my now non-superior intellect!!! ha ha! Oh, and special abilities? make mine "Up to 50 ACC/AGI when facing uneven teams" or is theys pll just playing around?

I really think you should use my generator, this way you'll have lots of players too good for the game at first.

i used it but i pressed the button several times if the values were ok =D

MEANDOR: I have made many players myself. That thing about respect sounds good, but that's just a little bit too complicated right now. But I can make a system that the player doesn't want to join a team that has an overall that is half (or 3/4) of the players overall stats.

STALKY: Thanks for the generator, but I cannot download files. I'm using a library computer. (and not even a floppy)

VILLE MK.2: Oookey... :) Do you mind if I change your name into 'Omoloo Omoo'? :D

Done so far:
-Player search
-Training (players gets +1 in stats after one day of training, and it costs $1)
-Buying/Kicking players
-More stuff...

But right now I am facing the biggest problem: computer managed clans.
But if you want, you can be in the game as a manager. :) Post this:

MANAGER NAME
CLAN NAME
CLAN TAG

But please understand that I doesn't have implented any computer clans right now. So I will probably wait with all manager requests right now.

FUN FACT: I must write all your player names and stats on a normal paper. X(

PLAYER NAME:Outcast
FAVOURITE WEAPON:Steyr Aug
SECONDARY WEAPON: LAW
ACCURACY: 83

When/if you get to special abillities, i'd like this added to myself :

Performance 20-40% worse when loosing, performance 20-40% better when winning.
Always attack leading killer first. A +/-5% random addition to every shot made.
Prefer Upper Route. Kill first take flag later. -20% Inteligence when loosing.

Manager name : Outcast
CLan name : Guilt & Regret

I'd like to be a manager in your game.

Fun fact: It must be OOMOLOO OMOO not Omoloo Omoo. Its just not the same.

Okey Ville. Sorry... :)

FOR ALL MANAGER REQUESTERS:
I would prefer (demand) that you would use a real name as manager name.
Also, the clan tag must have brackets or something like that around it. (Like: [, (, {, =)
New: You can also choose if the tag shall be BEFORE or AFTER the player name.
(If I don't get info about this, I will put the tag before the name.)

Latest addings:
-3 new 'great' (you can almost listen to them) midi music tracks
-Computer clans working... barely. So far they can only buy players... but expect more.

Manager Name: M-o-D
Clan Name: The Black Army
Clan Tag: [-TBA-]

I would implement some random events (more/less training success, hurt/non available players,...) otherwise itll get too repetitive if training is always the same. Maybe also some random special offers like

"A Veteran since 0.9.4b has heard about your clan and offers player X to show him some Soldat secrets..."
(higher price but all skills increase by 2 to 4)

Also things like motivation that can be influenced by success, random happenings, special things etc. (I imagine the motivation thingy like this: If motivation is at 50%, all skills are normal. If Motivation is just 25% all skills are Value*0.75 ingame , If Motivation is at 75%, all skills are Value*1.25 ingame, means if Motivation is at 0, skills are *0.5, if Motivation is at 100%, skills are *1.5. Probably some lower multiplication values would work better).

Also training availability and success should be influenced by things like having/not having an own clanserver and its quality.

I try to make an overview...

TRAINING
influenced by: random events, circumstances (clanserver,..)

MOTIVATION **
influenced by: clan reputation (only if extremely high/low), success, random events, options (like having a talk with the player, awarding him somehow...)

CLAN REPUTATION* **:
influenced by: success, status symbols (clanserver, public server), circumstances (average player skills, friendly wars), trophys (cup victories?)

*besides a good clan reputation being nice to look at, this could influence which clan accepts challenges from you and which players accept to join your clan. After a new player joined, there should be a period a player doesnt want to leave, otherwise it would be possible, that he leaves just after one match, because clan reputation sank under his limit.

**it should be possible, that very good players (want to) leave if their motivation or the clan reputation falls too low. Also, if the clan reputation is very high, skilled players should offer to join

SKILLS
influenced by: training, motivation, events (like "player got hurt and cant play or train for X days. Skills decrease by (?)"


FAV. MAPS:
Every player has one favourite map, and when playing on it, his skills get a bonus during the match.

It would also be cool, if there were more than 1 league (probably 3 divisions so you can fight your way up) and different cups between the seasons.


I dont know if its possible for you to implement all that, but Id really love to see this realized, or at least parts of it. Keep it up, Toumaz [;)]

TRAINING:
Player can get from +0 to +3 in stats after training one day. It will cost $1 anyway.

MOTIVATION
Hmm, maybe... but maybe Fatique instead?

CLAN SERVER
I've been thinking about this. But that would be increasing the maximum player limit. Like; the clan begins the game with just a 4 max player server, and no spectator slots.

PLAYER LEAVES IF (reputation, naah too hard to implent) OVERALL STATS TOO LOW
Well...I guess I could implent it. Also, high-stat players won't speak with low-overall clans.

SKILLED PLAYERS OFFER TO JOIN
For free? :) Or for a lower price? But, I don't really think I'll implent this. Not now, that's for sure. But maybe later.

SEASONS
Oh my god, I have not been thinking about adding any seasons or cups or something like that. But we'll se. :) Maybe you will some day be able to create your own cups.

THANKS VILLE MK.2
Forgot to tell this, but just because you wanted to be a 0,0,0 player, I discovered some serious bugs. Also, you cost $75, but if I offer you $1, you often joins. XD

Also, one little thing: YOU CANNOT BE BOTH A PLAYER AND A MANGER IN THE GAME. I WON'T ALLOW THIS. So you better decide what, systemfeind. :)

I think I've forgot to tell something... but I can't remember what.

Id be even better if they hadnt any server at the beginning, so training is not always possible (60-75% chance that they can borrow one). but afterwards the starting slots of the server should be 6, cause CTF needs at least a 3on3 (2on2 CTF is... err.. ghey :P). Both slots and quality should be increasable, cause having a 6 slots server with an average ping of 300 and one with an average ping of 50 is certainly a difference.
It should also possible to rent public servers (up to a certain max), and each of them give you a bonus when you try to recruit players but cost you a higher monthly fee than clanservers.

No not for free. Either for a better price, or its even a player you cant find on a list, so its really something special.

Sounds nice. Seasons and cups are definitely necessary, to earn your money for paying for servers etc. Making own little cups and invite clans there could give you a reputation bonus again, even more if you win. Also the reputation (Im still thinking about it, it would fit in really good imho) rises more if you defeat a clan ranked above yours but can also fall quite a lot when you loose against some noob clan.

Btw. it would be cool if freelancing players and the players from other clans also experience changes in their skills (probably only some randomizing, but having them at the same level all the time would be a bit boring).

Hiei for crappy clan leader! i wanna test it!!!! Toumaz when you finish talk to me for test and advice ^-^

OTHER CLAN PLAYER SKILLS
The computer clans train players, so the skills changes each day. (but sometimes the training gives the player +0 as I said before. Or maybe the clan is out of money.)

EARN MONEY
Maybe advertsering/sponsoring? (did I spell that right?)

REPUTATION
Eh, what the heck. I'll see if I can add that to the game some day.
(That raise and fall thingy reminds me of good ol' www.nukezone.nu XD)

CONTACTING A PLAYER
I've not said anything about this, so... I'll do it now.
You click on a player in the player search screen, and click 'Contact' in the player details screen.
Then you are 'connected' to the player's computer. Then, if:
-the player not is in your clan, two buttons will be visible. 'Buy' and 'Offer.' 'Buy' buys the player for the original price, 'offer' offers the player a lower price for joining.
-the player is in your clan, one button will be visible. A 'Kick'-button, that you can find out yourself.

*leaving the computer and gets a better computer and uploads some pics of the newest Rekryt version*

This is starting to sound great!
Got a couple of suggestions:

1) How about if you earn money by advertising on your site then your reputation goes down or something (noone likes ads :P)

2) Also for the server part. I think its a great idea. You could buy a server for more than renting one for a cw. But at the start you could only afford a crap one with low player slots and high ping.

3) Dunno if you have come accross this yet. If you buy a player from another clan. Would they get a replacement. Otherwise you could buy everyone from their clan then what would happen?

Anyways good luck should be a great game!

BTW Toumaz is there anyway we can get a test version or something. Or maybe just a few screenshots?

p.s. sorry for not just editing last post :/

Hey, I like that. besides the clanserver you could also improve the clan homepage (but in steps). Like:

1 - No homepage
2 - Selfmade homepage somewhere on Geocities ($10, tiny rep. bonus)
3 - advanced html site on some random adfree webspace provider ($30, small rep. bonus)
4* - database supported site on paid webspace ($80, +2$ monthly fee average Rep-bonus)
5* - fully PHP&CGI integrated site on paid webspace ($150 + 5$ monthly fee, good repbonus)
6* - Community feature site, with everything possible ($250 + 10$ monthly fee, best rep-bonus)

*you can offer ads there that generate random income that might range from a value lower than the monthly cost to a value somewhat higher. But ads decrease the rep-bonus a bit (like you said).

(just an example). This could be good for random events soo ("Server crash

Would be good im clans stopped selling players when a certain limit is reached, and might also buy new ones themselves. Btw. Toumaz said that not every player will join your clan immediately, this is dependning on the stats of your clan.

My best estimate of my ing game skills but ard to picture how those stats would look in game.

Latest addings...

PLAYER MOTIVATION
-5 different levels of motivation: Awful, Bad, Normal, Great, Excellent
-When player get kicked from a clan, motivation -1
-When player is bought by another clan while in a clan, motivation -1
-If a player gets bought by another clan, and you buy him back within 2 days, he'll get motivation +2

...that's all for now. I'm tired right now. So damn hot weather.

CLAN HOMEPAGE
Awwwww... not now. Maybe in a future version.

WHEN PLAYER THAT IS IN A CLAN GETS BOUGHT
The clan that owned the player gets the amount of money that the player was bought for.

Let's decide some things, BTW. What shall the...
-MAXIMUM CLAN PLAYER NUMBER be?
-MAXIMUM CLAN SERVER SPECTATORS NUMBER be?
-THE STARTING DAY OF THE GAME be?

dude it sounds awsome

PLAYER NAME: Aquarius
FAVOURITE WEAPON: M79
SECONDARY WEAPON: USSOCOM

Additional rules :P
-------------------
He doesn't really want to join any clan, so to buy him you need 2x more money than he is really worth and there is a higher chance that he will decide to quit your clan.

_Every_ map is his favourite map (he get the bonus to his skills on every map) EXCEPT ctf_Death. He will refuse to play on ctf_Death [:D]

This is for Aquarius, and all ppl that has asked for a special 'bonus' to their player:
I HAVE NOT EVEN SAID THAT BONUSES WILL BE IMPLENTED. AS IT LOOKS RIGHT NOW I WON'T IMPLENT THEM.

(BTW, uploading Soldat Manager screenies...)

I think that with additional rules for some (most) players the game would be much more interesting :)

Yes, I think that too, but it's too complicated right now.

(Completed upload...posting screenies...)

btw. this looks awesome by now *thumbsup*

*gasp* you fired Ville! CURSE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, id like to know how the conversation is implemented

Unlucky_13: I used ville to demonstrate how he can be bought for $1. No offence. Right now he's my favorite player in the game. :) Deltadogs is another clan.

Blackdevil: Sorry, but I have not implented you yet. I'll do it right away.

grand_diablo: (notice lowercase 'g' XD) Okey, I just thought it looked stupid with a lowercase g. But fine, I'll change it. :)

Maybe you should start a new topic Toumaz? 100posts soon

One more post...

Have you currently got a beta tester for this? (I accept)

bleh hurry up :P what program are you using to make this game by the way?

He is using GameMaker, Rekry is made with it.

http://www.gamemaker.nl

Ssh, blackdevil! My friends are maybe reading.... and I like to pwn them because they can't make games. xD

Well... here are the reasons that it's not ready yet:

1. Last Thursday I was on a f-ing walk in the forest with my school. (10+ kilometres... eek)
2. When I walked, my underwear were in a really funny positon, so I got several even funnier wounds on my ding-dong. X(
3. I'm a horny man, man! (I will not give any more details because my friends may be reading...)

(edit)

Betatesters?
Maybe, but I will not be able to upload the newest beta versions, 'cos I have not internet at home... But we'll see.
Just checking... who are interested in becoming a betatester?
(don't you dare bother me with Soldat Manager forum moderator thingys xD)

...Rekryt 1.0.5 will be released sooooon...

(edit 2)

YAY! REKRYT 1.0.5 RELEASED!

I wanna be betatester

I want to betatest SM.
BTW Toumaz I don't think that they would understand how to use GM.

i wanna beta test. I don't really know how to use GM but im making a game with it with some other people so i guess il be learning.

[:-censored]!!!!!!!!!!! Soldat Manager is a taken name... bugger, found out while searching for it. Name it Soldat RPG or sommin

GOD DAMNIT!

Well, I don't really want to change the name into Soldat RPG... do you have any other name suggestions? (or maybe use the name Soldat Manager and don't care about the other program...)

Oh wait, false alarm, the other program is Soldat Manager - Bot Maker 1.2 Phew! Unless we really think Soldat Manager is a bad name, it isn't too original

Ohh, add me! I like the sound of this

FFS Sam! Shrink your avatar down to around 20kb! God! It is triple that!
Oh, and if you are taking name suggestions, I like Soldat - Clan Wars

Is Soldat Manager a bad name?...

*sniff*

I think that the name is good as it is.

How would I do that?

Well Sam, you can do one out of two things:

1. Size down the avatar
or
2. Make the animation shorter

You can do both of those things with Paint Shop Pro (use Animation Shop for the animation)

Or you can use Adobe Photoshop (use ImageReady for the animation)
Oh, and Soldat Manager isn't a bad name, just unoriginal

I'm going to make some 1337 programming this weekend, maybe. Because tomorrow I have something really useless, a test in school.

hehehe very pointless. Anyway good luck in it from MJPZX2 (on eagles pc (hes my brother) since mine has everything uninstalled and getting upgraded right now)

OKOK, on the first page i found a nice name for it: Soldat tycoon. I like that one, or maybe simdat or something. Anyway, could you place me in it too plz [:D]

let me know when u fisnhe to build your game! ;]

OMG, you guys... don't kill me for this... but I didn't have time in the latest weekend to program a sh!t new stuff on Soldat Manager (I won't change the name). And today I have homeworks like a living hell. And tomorrow... OK, I will stop complaining.

The point is that I don't have much time over to program right now, because of school.

Take your time dude, no rush.
I've so many tests myself next week sh*t.

Well, 3rd term breakup is soon. But still dont rush yourself!

Yeah, just take your time. No one's rushing you, and if they are, they shouldn't be.

Game programmers are so rushed these days, it seems that all they have time to produce is crap.

Anywho, just do your best and take your time.

HAHAHA that was amusing.. 95 inteligence... okay ill just shutup. Anyway I know what it feels like with the school work so i dont blame you at all for postponing the programming.
Anyway good luck with the homework/tests and the game dude.

Some of your players you have sort of 'submitted' here will have changed stats when in the game, because I need players with an overall of 40-70 right now.

Toumaz, anything to update yet? :)

No. I've got tired of programming non-action games. Yes, I know that it sounds strange, but I have about 50 different arrays with variables to keep track of in the game... so it's pretty damn hard to program mangager and strategy games and such. It was a quite a while since I last programmed some new things on SM, so I've forgot some of the arrays. I am currently re-making a part of the match makeup system, because I've discovered that it was pretty damn hard to allow clans to have more than one match per day. So I've decided to limit it to only one single match per day.

And we also have this thing called 'school'. Today I had a chemistry test (ok, it was easy) and on Friday I have a french test. So I will probably wait with the programming-SM part until friday evening.

Idiotic facts: I have stuffed up my home with 24 bottles à 2l of Pepsi a couple of days ago. Our local store was selling them at a damned cheap price ($7 for three bottles). So I've at least enough drinking to program later on. XD

(edit)
Forgot to tell ya; I've also been working a bit on a program called 'LyricPlayer'. The name says it all. I've made it especially for use by music teachers and such (some kind of music teacher wanted a program like this).

(edit2) Sounds boring, you mean? :D
(edit3) Reminds me about good ol' TC by some reason...

I don't care how long it takes :)

EDIT: A LyricPlayer eh sounds cool

EDIT2: Naaah making a program for a teacher is "cool" xD

(offtopic)
$7 for 3 bottles of 2l Pepsi each. Makes 2.33..$ for each bottle. Yeh, Sweden is expensive for abroads (2.33 $ is even above the normal price for Pepsi here in Austria)
(/offtopic)

Take the time you need for the game. At least I hope it WILL be finished, and not die like the last attempt (anyone remembers Soldat Team Director?)

Toumaz WTF $7!!! I can buy two 2l bottles for $3

Yeah I remember the topic about Soldat Team Director I was looking forward but eh...

Eh? You have shool right now? Well, I am in third term break (lucky me for once) and have nothing to do... *yawn*
*sigh* help the bored ota their brain-ers have fun...

OMG SORRY I SAID WRONG PRICE!!!
$0.7 for three bottles. :)

ah that's better

OMG Sorry again, I've asked my maths teacher for extra lessons... the right price is 2$ XD

http://toumazweb.cjb.net - click teh 'Links', clicky teh 'Soldat Manager' link...

Early version website, nothing special.

Another weekend has passed without a single code written on SM. But yesterday I actually started working on it again. I'm think I'm going to be sarcastic and release the first beta version on my birthday. Would pwn.

:) LOL ;)

I've been out for a few weeks and PHEW! I am not gonna miss the release of SM!!

OK guys, now I need your help.
I need to know how much damage you recieve from all primary weapons, in digits.

It would help me a lot.

%?

Maybe the manual can help you...duno if it's this you want

http://www.soldat.pl/man/manual-en.html

but that's not the right numbers... I mean, if a player health is 100, two deagles would kill you...

It all differs on what distance you hit.

And where you are hit. 2 deagle headies are anough from a close distance, while from the far you need 3. or 4-5 body hits

OK, but I need the damage data... You would help me alot if you did this:

-Use the interface 'Text'
-Cooperate with a friend
-Test all the primary weapons' damage to the torso on a medium distance

Understand me now, then?

Would be nice: "African talent joined to ur clan and brings he's noob brothers with him".

Will someone please help me?...
I need the data!

nah, I would, when someone assisted me

Well, I will be sitting idle by until someone gives me the data, so...

i wouldn't have a clue where to get it..
maybe pm michal?

Omg, I need the value. Dude. Why dont you go with FF on play against a bot fire with with every weapons and check how much damage do they do?

It's not real IQ if you haven't figured it out yet......
anyhow...you are an idiot. good luck in your life.
Btw im in highscool second year out of 3 at age of 20, and I took 37 out of 40 points last year which isn't bad.

I'm not registered! I need to use the interface text to get the exact data... and Soldat on my computer has a really fcked-up interface also.

So please, will someone help me with this?

well I would help you but I ain't registered :(

Just make them up ffs, they don't have to be exact..

OK then, I will start working on Soldat Manager again after I've released Rekryt 1.0.6... will be shortly.

great news

Rekryt 1.0.6 will be released tomorrow... hopefully. But there's a small chance that it will be delayed until Friday.

(edit)

Yes, I know it. But I posted here because I said that I would start working on Soldat Manager after the release of Rekryt 1.0.6.

lol cool
ehm you know that it's is the Soldat M you'r posting in eh?
o.k

Yay still havent missed this one! Ill be happy to wait until Christmas as long as this one comes out!

@| Hmm, no you didnt tell us (or me, either way) but i say COOL
V

I've started working on it.
Right now I'm making the match start respawn part.

Have I told you that Soldat Manager can use the Soldat sounds? Like respawn and death sound
Well, now I've told you.

Hmm... Respawn? Why?

Can't wait for it to be realeased :¬)

When the fight starts (=when a player spawns) the Soldat respawn sound is used. It's sexy.
But, please notice, that Soldat Manager doesn't include the Soldat sounds. You need to have Soldat installed, and specify the path to the Soldat directory it inside Soldat Manager. Hope Michal doesn't mind.

TEH LATEST NEWS
After two f-ing weeks of debugging and code searching, I finally found the itchy-witchy variable mistake that ruined the whole match respawn part... two weeks of frustration and anger.
I have added teh über nerdy firework effect on the first page. I will maybe use it after winning a fight or so.

any idea when a beta or first version is coming out?

waiting...make it
we want it!

i just skipped like all pages wanted to know that will you add real live soldat clans innit or just make them up?

I don't know many real-life Soldat clans, but you can sumbit a clan here and I'll add it.
(clan submittion example in page 3)
I've made up a few clans.

just wondering, how close to completion is soldat manager?
Cause i've been waiting for it to come out for almost a month and a half <_<

Well... it depends how tired of programming I am.
What do I have left to do before a beta release?...

-Match playing - that'll take me a weekend or two.
-Other clan management AI - that'll take me loong time.
-Some kind of ranking system - I'll do that in a few hours.

Christmas maybe? Or in early January? I can only tell you that God knows when it is going to be ready, ask him. (crappeh quote)

God's busy, son. This is on you!

Hah! Well dont rush it! I DONT WANT A GAME LIKE I MADE WHEN I WAS 10!
Anyway, i have a few fire work .gif's, but google has them too!

Can't wait to try this game out, once its developed far enough :D

quote:Originally posted by Lapis_LazuliGod's busy, son. This is on you!


I am God.

I could release a demo, but since you cannot play any games with your clan yet, it would be kinda boring. Or not?

Right ;)

But as soon as its possible, to play at least a test match, Id really love to try this out ^^

just release it!! :D

no! make it good befor you do it

ohh... i cant wait!
toumaz: what are doing with it now?

eh spam...

Spam deleted. zoldat, please post something constructive next time :/

hmm this actually sounds ok, i think a real clan is a better idea though...

I'm currently developing the match engine.
But I've also found some damned bug in the match day part. I'll check it.

The thing that is hardest to do is actually to make the AI. The other clan managers must buy players, challange other clans, build up their servers... there will be lots of data put in that part.

Eh, lol, I dunno if its just me but it seems I got a completly different game than the ones on the screenies when I downloaded from the link......

you get to rekryt, you moron. Soldat manager isnt out yet.

That must be the most unusual way how Rekryt gets another player. ;)
Well... Toumaz is tired of programming SM right now. So many variables, so many arrays...
We'll see when it's going to be released. Right after christmas, maybe.

Yay! It's gonna get released in around 30 days then!!! HURRA!

I just searched and 4 Soldat Managers came up! OMG not good!

What do you mean Unlucky? A search in Google?

Well... Toumaz will go release Rekryt 1.0.7 in just a minute now... then I will start working with Soldat Manager again.

I found the bug that ruined the whole f-ing match engine. It was a small line of text I used as a reminder of the many variables in the game when coding the match part of SM. But now the match engine is coming... I just (hellofalongtime) have to make the players and bullets, then the match part is done.

Soldat Manager > Rekryt

(although Rekryt is nice too)

But keep to teh manager, I simply love managing games :D

Oh no! The release of Rekryt has been somewhat delayed... another 15 minutes or so. :)
(edit) It won't be released today, actually. :(

Well, I'll soon get home and work on the manager again. But I have a problem.
THE LEAGUE. Can someone give me directions of how the clans shall be ranked, the players, and that kind of stuff? Please?

http://www.soldat.pl/links/leagues.php?catid=8
this SHOULD help you..i think..

EDIT
there are all bots, right?

Actually it doesn't really help me. The main propose in Soldat Manager is to create a clan, buy a player, and then get up to the top of a ranked leauge, and then stay there. I need some ranking system that can go on forever.
I have two question that can give you some ranking system guidelines:
-How will the players be ranked? (overall stats, won matches ...)
-How will the clans be ranked? (overall player stats, won matches ...)

I need your suggestions for those two questions.

Id say...

rank the players after their points/matches ratio.
rank the clans by their win/lose ratio and for those equal consider the difference between own and enemy caps (CTF) or frags (DM) )

'Key. Will be a lot of variables, though. I will get home and start working on the complete match engine right now.

As far as Ive understood that, there will be more than one league available to join ingame, which do have another ranking system of course .

Well I thought he meant like having a league that runs forever. Sorry :S

Heheh I really wanna see this idea, I like games like fm2005.

Forum search, Toumaz there are three proggies (not the same concepts, they organize your stats and stuff) named "Soldat Manager"

I don't care. Soldat Manager is Soldat Manager, nothing else. :)

Eeeh.... No, I haven't made any leauge yet, actually. No league joining at all yet. I actually have no idea how the leauge would look like. Right now I have decided to make a total ranking 'league', nothing else. But we'll see what comes up in much later versions.

Seasons could really be something... but I have a little wonder about this idea. It seems like the pace of SM doesn't fit any meaning of a season. The pace of the game, as it is now, is way too 'slow' to implent any season system.

Yesterday's work... Well, I fixed a bug in the 'Upcoming matches' page (new feature!).
And that's it for now.

WEll I was thinking the seasons would be like 30 matches then it starts again. I dunno

Sorry toumaz i was just kidding :(

I was also kidding. :(

Toumaz... Not bad but still... Background is ugly :D

wow! i bet it will be really fun to play! all those "server" things.. wow great :D

the only things i would change are the background, and "why always green when there are other non-eye-destroy colors?" :D

:DD

Hey you are versing me? Well GL then!

Anyway, the game looks good, too bad about the double button bug.

Unlucky: You was the only clan that had a player in the same range of levels as my player, so you became the chosen one this time.

Heh, I fixed that 2 Button bug in five seconds after spotting it, but I didn't want to restart the whole game (buying players again etc) just to remove it. I was, in other words, lazy.

Yes, I know the background is a bit annoying, but don't worry; you can select between several interfaces (just image modifications, but soon maybe also custom sounds) inside the game. So far I've made three interfaces; Default (duh), Criminal, and Soldat (the same look as the Soldat menus).

I'm also up with a small game project next to SM, just to try out if a Soldat Manager over network would work. Don't worry, it won't slow down any further development on SM. :)

Yay for soldat menu!

yeah... Soldat menu :) ... did you add me in? :))

hurrah for toumaz! *cough*hurrah for eagle*cough*! hurrah for SM!

This is later than the proposed release date, but it is looking like it will get better as we'z waitz!

You like orange a lot, yukwunhang.
Green is the best militay color IMHO for your knowledge.

Blackdevil, the Criminal interface has the buttons (modified) you send me a looong while ago. Shall I add you to teh credits section in the manual? :)

I have now also recovered from my 24/7 stupidity, so I'll probably be done with that damn match engine in this week. (remember: probably)
Easter eggeh development in progress as well.

you hate black? Then i hate orange.

*Toumaz* No credit needed for the buttons :& but if you want then go ahead :)

damn it looks good =)
just hurry up

Yes, hurry up! DO make it buggy, DO make it rubbish, DO make it slow and boring.

eagleclaw364, don't spam please. I've been tolerant with this thread because people are looking forward to the release of SM, but its no excuse to post mindless rubbish.

I'll start deleting unnecessary posts from now on.

ive been meaning to ask.. but what does this actually do??.. soldat manager, i know that, but what does it "do"....

WEll, it gives you fun? You control a team, go around beating other teams, win the leagues, upgrade your server, buy/sell players. Stuff liek that

umm but where? soldat? or isit a seperate game?

Separate, read through the first five pages and look for Toumaz's posts.

when will this program be ready?

That looks extremely good I must say Michal. And I feel its better than the other one too :)

the text type is hard to read what it says :/, but good example :P

Yeah, I agree. The text should be 'unbolded'.

yeh, unbold and give it a different color, or just use another font, "Impact" looks uglyin most occassions, I'd suggest Arial Narrow.

i like the soldat-like menu option, could we have screens of that :)

Yes Michals background is alot easier on the eyes than thoumaz. I go temporarily blind after playing that game for 2 mins i would think :D

hey, give this guy some rest. the thing that really matters is, that the game works. we can care for the background colors later ;)

^agrees :P

Well... I've been away from computers for a week... and there is many new posts to read. I will see if I can answer most of 'em.

First of all.... *drumroll*...
The match engine is nearly completed!
I am sweet 'n' über happy to be sitting and pwning Jimmy Bones with myself as a player in my clan ;D (screenies of teh pwn coming soon). However there are still things to work on, like:

THE POINT LIMIT
So far, I've not inplented a point limit (nor a time limit). What do you think it shall be? I've had an idea that the point limit shall be calculated like this;

but I have some thoughts about changing 15 into 30, but there is a chance that some players get bored when watching other clans play against each other (not implented something like that yet though).

SECONDARIES
I have not implented a way for the players to use their secondary weapon yet (maybe not so strange though 'cos I made the whole match engine in two days full of stress, sweat, and strong coffee)

THE SOUNDS
Right now you can hear the following sounds (if you have Soldat because the sounds are loaded from the Soldat sound directory) when watching a match being played:
-Weapon fire sounds
-Bullet hit sounds
-Kill sounds (when a player dies)
-Respawn sounds

Do you want me to add some other sound that'll be played upon some other event in the game?

GAME MODES
So far only Teammatch works (I haven't got time to make it possible to play CTF and Inf yet, because you need to add different player behaviour coding in those modes)
And I have a small thought that I won't implent the possibility to have an Infiltration-match. "OMG WHYES!?" someone might ask. Because I think that Inf isn't an 'original' clan gamemode. Also it would be slow gameplay, as well as it would be hard to implent.
So right now I have no plans to inplent Infiltration as a game mode in SM.
But if you think you could convince me to implent it anyway, then go ahead trying. :)

The "OMFG I HATE TEH BG"-issue
Well, I have somewhat changed the interfaces' backgrounds somewhat (except Soldat's, nothing to improve there ;D).
The Default background has now some touches of mud (brown 'n' olive) as well as some brightness changes all over the image. In my opinion it looks much, MUCH better now! The Criminal background has also been changed a bit (as I told you before, screenies will come).
Michal: I'm sorry, but I can't view that background you've created. (god damn non-PNG-supported computer).

The "Unbold teh font! Change teh font!" stuff
Yeah, I have noticed myself that the subtitles are EXTREMELY hard to read when they are bolded. I can change the interface's subtitle font, but don't expect that I'm going to unbold it inside the SM code, because it looks better on fonts that can be read even though they are bolded.
But what font do you think I should use? (Arial Narrow: naah, it's so goddamn... narrow.)
Post font suggestions please. :)

Easter eggehs (yeeeeah! bbq!)
So far I've added in... uh... *counting*:

1. Player goes mad
The easiest to find (it's something inside the game, no special things to write or somethin) but if noone finds it I'll post some clues. Someone might find it funneh. I do! ;D

2. The final thankyou
Somewhat harder, but support in form of a clue inside SM will maybe help you... otherwise I'll have to help you again.

3. A speak to some certain persons around here (texted)
Hardest... but I'll give you a clue right away: The name of a movie by Mel Brooks. But I won't tell you where you shall enter this name... (only if you beg me and visit ToumazWeb until your browser crashes)

4. The price of programming (picture 'n' sound)
Involves keyboard combinations and a mouse click. Might be hard to discover... I'll give help if noone finds it.

5. The bot tribute (sound presentation)
All I tell you is: the name of the bot is the thing that matters. Might be easier to find than you think. Do it repeatingly and you'll get it... :)

Also... I implented a cheat, but then I removed it (too powerful in my opinion). If you named yourself (your managing name) as DNA.Styx you could offer $1 to a player and they would accept. ("OK, OK!! Just don't ban my account" and other horror)

Well... that's it for now. Hope you'll like the game when it finally gets released.
Current release date: ...unknown, but expect in the late of January or February. It depends.

School has begun as well... so that'll might interfere the release date.

LOL!!!! Ahaha that made me laugh :P

I'm so happy thats its nearly done!! :) Personally I thought you'd get bored of it ages ago and it'd die off, and everyone would forget about it eventually, but alas, its almost done! :D

Good luck in school :)

ok, we wait anxious! open a new topic when that's ready :)

I guess INF is not really necessary, maybe somewhen later as an update to the finished version.

I guess the CTF cap limit inside SM could just be like the "internationally accepted" one: 10.

and then:

DM
2on2 (Player limit 4): 50
3on3 (Player limit 6): 60
4on4 (Player limit 8): 70
5on5 (Player limit 10): 80

1on1: 20 or 30

Grand Diablo, I guess you mean Teammatch when you write DM. Also, when the 'player limit' is the player limit for both of the teams. (if you don't have more or equal players in your team than this limit, you only have one option - give up the match).
I'll implent the 'Player limit * 15' for now. Also I won't care about INF, I'll just have to de-implent it in the challange clan part. No big deal.

Please cover up your keyboards now, because in a few minutes I'll release some screenshots on the different interfaces and on the match engine. Just wait about 15 minutes or more.
Sorry. Not today, some unexpected problems struck me.

YAY!Screenshots!!!I hope it looks good :)

Dont just leave it to v1. Update it sometimes too. Add more things, change some too, fix bugs and add players.
So it will live longer.
I personally like this _idea_ very much. Lets see how this works. :)

Add meh ^^

Put all rates to 100 :P

Another drop of God-like stats...

ok you can use me in your game, stats are as follows:

INTELLIGENCE: 100quote:OPB Toumaz
Jimmy bones' new stats: 0,0,0
Quite god-like, huh?

You also forgot your weapons and name.

Oh, Toumaz... err. Tom (<==Is ok?), maybe you should have CTF skill, INF skill and TDM skill as some more variables, and Def/Atk as well for CTF and INF.

If you add those, make it an overall of 100% dedicated to the mode, so all that you have to do is to only use the percent of the Acc., Agi., and Int. for each gametype, mattering on the dedication to that type (must have at least 1%).
Attack and Defence is to make it that if on high Defence, the player wont cap, and on high attack, the player wont help the defenders at all.

For my dude (Black Soul?)
CTF:70%
INF:28%
TDM:2%

ATK:40%
DEF:60%Ah OK Stalky, I was just thinking, I didnt think anyone would like it 0.o

I think the attack/defence skill is a good idea, but let toumaz finish what he's making at the moment, and then he can add those in later.

If this turns out with all the options and everything this application is gonna be sweet

Yeah, you can call me Tom if you really want to, since my real name is Tomas. :)

I think that your idea about ATK/DEF skill sounds good, Unlucky. But right now I do not have enough time to implent anything of a system like that. But I don't think I will implent something like an indivudual CTF/INF/TDM skill system. But I like the CTF Atk/Def idea.

Something has been on my mind - you can never face game over in Soldat Manager. Therefore, I've been thinking about an idea that I'll might implent in later versions. There is a leauge, and then, about every month, then clan that is on the last position is kicked out of the league.
How about that?

Back to the release discussion... unfortunatly I do not have enough time to work so much on SM for a short time. Why? Because tomorrow, I have a Frech test. In a week, I have a chemistry test. So school takes up most of my time right now. The hardest thing in programming right now will be to implent a working computer-controlled clan AI. (buying more than one player, blah blah)

I've also been thinking about something like a SM online highscore table.

Heh, I have had a French test today. The language sucks indeed, since it has too many exceptions and is written completely different than spoken (why the hell do they adapt the ending on verbs set into the past tense with "avoir" (to have) according to male/female and singular/plural only when the subject is written in the accusative. When setting them into the past tense with "etre" (to be) they do it everytime. FFS!)

I wish you good luck, success and "bonne chance" in the test ;)


Just another lil question to the release debate:
Is it possible to release a demo with - lets say - 5 clans with set players + training and challenging, just so we can get a sight at the matchengine? ;)

I'm Swiss,I can help you :D

Le français est une des langues les plus dures,il faut beaucoup travailler pour le maîtriser,
il y a beaucoup d'exeption,et c'est pas le plus facile.:)

Bonne chance,Good luck in your french test :D

Ooo goodie =) (is there any chance of a demo :D)

you should try portuguese :)

i'm portuguese and it still is a bit hard :p
(not to speak but to write and those kind of things...)

when did this become a "what language you want to learn" topic?? <spam<spam^spam^spam

Hehe, maybe make an age input system, and when the player reaches a random age from 90 - 110 then they die or something :D Or maybe make the players have a respect level and if that respect level gets to 0 for more than half the team, they can sack you or something.

=D

Match engine finetuning right now...

What do you think the respawn time should be? Right now I have the other standard of 3 seconds (I don't want slow fights :P).

Stalky, I simply mentioned that I had some tests coming up, and it's not my fault that people then start spamming about it.

quote:Originally posted by eagleclaw364Hehe, maybe make an age input system, and when the player reaches a random age from 90 - 110 then they die or something

:/ name me some 90+ aged soldat players... in fact just 1 will do!

3 seconds respawn are fine and actually standard in CWs.

@ eagleclaw:
WTF? Aging and dying players in a game where 1 turn is 1 day? Now this is going to be funny, when your best capper dies of a heart attack on day 29822 (almost 82 years old) after about 2 years of playing SM without a break :P

I'm not angry about the spam :/ its okay, everyones just looking forward to SM. I'd rather it was all in here than everywhere else anyway ;)

YAY we can spam =)... Tom (:P) know any 'set' dates for a release :/

Yes, but I didn't mean you can post a load of rubbish ¬_¬ please do ATTEMPT to stay on topic.

"Tom (:P) know any 'set' dates for a release :/"

When he has a set date, he will tell you. Stop pestering him!

YES SIR *puls out barret and kills 5 "soldiers" in 1 shot* o.O..

What's so bad about players dying of heart attacks. It would make it more funny and interesting XD.

You have 1 message from the hospital.

Dear manager
Your player has recently died from a heart attack even though he can respawn after being shot through the head with a barrett.

We're deeply sorry for your loss.
Regards
The Hospital

lmao

LOLZ! But really, maybe a random trigger of a soldat/computer/server crash, that may be in a way like that.

Sorry for not posting here for a while. I've been busy in school.

I like your idea, Unlucky. We'll see about it.

And now...

I have finished the Teammatch part of the match engine!
Also I have added in match statistics on the clan view pages.
Your players' motivation raises if you win a fight (the opposite if you lose a match).
Also you get $500 if you win.
I am in a hurry right now so I have to make it short, but as soon as I have finished the opponent clan AI, the CTF gamemode, and some more small things it will be a first beta release. Which will be rather soon... expect in 4-6 weeks... or maybe less.

great! :D

i think that player motivation thingy is good :>

keep up the good work :>

I don't remember.

Soldat Manager is now closer to a release than ever. Yesterday I made more work than I usually do in 2 weeks. Things like:

-When you win a match you get $500
-Computer clans can buy more than 1 player (I tried it by giving a clan $100000 :D)
-Save game function in progress...

Expect a release in about a month or less.

Toumaz, do you mind these guys spamming? I could pwn them all with the [IMAGE] button >:D

eep O_O

I don't care... they can spam around the christmas tree if they really want to. And yes, yes please, pwn some of them! (not meh of course)

Back to SM... work goes fine. I've recently finished the game and the modding manuals (and you're in the special thanks section, stalky XD), so now I'm mostly putting my time on finishing the game.

(edit)
Oh yeah, I forgot to tell yeh; the weapons in Soldat Manager is (almost!) completly moddable! You can change bullet speed, damage, spread, startup time (problems with that right now), clip size, reload time... You get the idea.

(edit2)

Please notice that all these screenshots has been heavily compressed so they don't eat up my whole homepage space. That's why some of the images looks floppy-like.

GREAAAAAAAAAT :DDDDDDD SO SWEET! :DDDDDDDDDDDDD good job!! :D

OMG the screens looks so good and i like ya comments on some of them^^

looks nice, just a question..
hy do I only see 2 players in teammatch modes on this screens? :P

btw. If more than one player joins a server, it should be "all players HAVE joined...", not "has" :p

rofl, toumaz, your sense of humour is great. xD oh yah gj with t3h SM too :P

Naw get us to give u 9 bux each

quote:Originally posted by grand_diablolooks nice, just a question..

Because there is only one player per team in that match. 1 vs 1.

I really need a new computer youknow. 233mhz Pentium 3, 2 GB harddrive, 64 meg RAM, 4 mb non-3d graphics card... it's a mess.

umm.. that is $#!7 .. umm how about you... BUY A NEW ONE FOR 500bux!!! just a suggestion :/, for $500, you can get a comp that will run ok.. but if your asking for a doom3 compatable comp.. well, i hope billgates son is in here, then he can give you $3500 (aud)

mmh the money for a won match should differ.

In a "league match" it should be higher, and in friendly matches it should depend on the average skill difference to the opponent. Also, the money in friendly games should not come from the "off", but from the clan that lost.

Example:
Your Clan | average skill 70
versus
Clan B | average skill: 30

IF Your Clan wins -> Clan B gives you 350$
IF Clan B wins -> You give 650$ to them

So its comparable to the ESL Elo points system, where the amount of points for a won match depends on the ranking difference of both. Guess a simple syntax should make this possible (also a limit should be included, so you would never have to pay more than X $ for a loss)

Your cla

Dibo: That's too complicated. Also there are no diffrent matches. Just matches, no friendly or league diffrencies (spell check?).

You simply challange as many clans as you can, and those points are added to the league points. Also you get those 500 bux from... let's say... a sponsor. Noone of the clans give money to each other upon match victories.

I'm in a hurry right now... more info later.

Mmmhhh is there then a possibility to "lose" money without buying something? Like random events, getting fined for sth. or else?

omg, get fined for speeding to a lan party!

Damn Toumaz, those screenshots look great! I loved the comments you made :P

Nice idea, that. Get fined loads for hacking, and get fined for breaking tournament rules. And for bashing/flaming/bad etiquette in games. That'd be cool.

No, accually, that would be a point making quote, rather than a worthless quote train.

Although there would have to be a plus for hacking, otherwise no-one would do it. For example, if you hack it increases your chances of winning by 50% but you have a 60% chance of getting fined alot of money.

Haha Toumaz :P I should have locked this topic a looooooong time ago.

Sam: I dunno if it has to be that complicated. The fines could just be random, rather than being under the control of the player. For example, you're the manager but you don't know one of your members is running about hacking half the time until its too late and you get fined.

Stalky: possibly that would be better,and if you see strange behavior (such as a member flag capturing every 15 seconds) you can kick him and not get fined but also risk kicking someone who isnt hacking. (possibly)

I don't know. We'll have to see what Toumaz says. Anyway, I think he should finish what he's doing and release a beta version of SM before he adds fining and hacking and stuff :)

omg. This aint sticky yet? And you promised this for christmas Toumaz.. :(

I just gotta tell ya: Saturday and Sunday I sit in front of my computer from the moment I get up until the moment I go to bed. So please be patient, because my eyes are killing themselves. (0.5 eyesight on both eyes - I will get glasses :/)

Latest addings yesterday...
-Save/Load game system works! I have bashed my computer for a week or two as this system wouldn't work... but then I spotted that I have negative values, which binary numbers can't represent... oh lord.
-Top ranked page added! It shows the best clan and the best player|s.

Also I'm working on a... let's say a - for now - secret project. But it's priority 2 right now, SM is still number 1.

ok I havent read like, 15 pages of this topic or so, and i dont want to. I just want to ask, will it be possible to make your own characters? or to make soldat manager work with the normal .bot files?

quote:Originally posted by Teh Pandaomg. This aint sticky yet?

Gah, guess I should take a hint.

Stickied.

Haha. =)

Toumaz, i didnt say you are lazy or anything, but im just "sad" this aint out yet =)

quote:Originally posted by Rhombusok I havent read like, 15 pages of this topic or so, and i dont want to. I just want to ask, will it be possible to make your own characters?

You can make your own clans, bots, and interfaces. And you can also mod the weapon stats.

quote:Originally posted by Rhombusor to make soldat manager work with the normal .bot files?

No. But I can add that in a later version if you want.

I just added SM's very own version of phone terror: other clan managers contact you. And sometimes they just say "Oh, sorry... It wasn't you I were supposed to contact."

Haha "Hello? Mr Eagle? Yes, I'm going to TAKE YOU DOWN!!" "OH YEAH?!?!?! BRING IT ON [IMAGE]!!" xD

Eag how do you manage to spam so bloody consistently!?!?!

Anyway tomaz should be a good game and im happy/amazed you have continued with it for as long as you have. Sounds humurous also :D

I'm not spamming, I'm giving mr To->U<-maz some ideas.

ps that capital U and the arrows pointing to it are to show you how you called him tomaz. : )

His real name is Tomas,
Look at the screens.

DAMNIT!

Yesterday I were working on the CTF match engine, but then I spotted another problem... the save game function has bugs. This has forced me into debugging the whole save game thingy and track down the evil bugs, and this will probably delay SM for a few weeks. Sorry.

quote:Originally posted by eagleclaw364I'm not spamming, I'm giving mr To->U<-maz some ideas.

It seems there's a fine line between them both where you're concerned ;)

Toumaz: As long as it works when you release a beta, it doesn't matter when it comes out :) keep working at your own pace, ignore these guys :P

Hey, Ive been waiting for quite some time now, and the couple of weeks dont realy matter to me. I just admire you because u keep going with that one project. I know I couldnt.

But MJ wrote TomaZ<<<--- No S or no U

Oh, just leave it..
No rush Toumaz :p

Eagle + MJ = Brotherspammage... :|

Anyways... Stalky is right. Dont rush it :)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I found the bug in the save game section after 2 seconds of reading it through... When the big evil pirate ship (SM) were restoring the match number from the miserable pirate slave (the save file) it actually returned the team player number. Whoops. :) Fixed in one second.

Right now I'm pretty angry on the match engine, since your player can actually take suicide with his own bullets (when not intended! damnit I got angry!) and especially with the M79. And I recently started working on the match contacting system for the opponent clans, as well as the match fight engine for the opponent clans.

Expect a release soon, within a month atleast.

Cant wait.

nor can i, THIS WILL BE SOO GREAAAT, i also have my name in it :)

OH NOES!!!

I have found a new bug: a computer clan can fight against other clans two times a day. This bug is however very rare, and I won't care about it for this first version.
But another more important bug is that when two computer clans fight, one of the clans always win with about 15 - 1 or something like that. Strange bug, I will check the computer clan match engine to my death.

OH NO A BUG... :p

Oh no, more delay (dont rush it though).

Man, get to a shop, buy some bug-poison and kill those bugs! French is indeed strange:S!

quote:Originally posted by vegklFrench is indeed strange:S!


True, random, but true.

Je deteste le francais

I guess

would this support ctf? and if so, how can u get the flag..

Yes, it supports CTF. It's a normal part of the match engine, nothing special with that.

Right now I'm working with the computer clan match engine. This was harder than I thought at first, so it will probably take a long while. Nothing more special right now.

CTF is special for me ;)

I think computer matches is not as important as releasing a demo...

i think what toumaz says, is important, and not your demo-wanting

A demo is a small part of a game you have to buy to get the full version, since this is not going to be a game sold for money its not a demo, what yuo're thinking of is a BETA.

...whateva

Lol, im a NERD!

Well i hope u fix those bugs fast!

Well, rushing won't fix anything, and no, you should post helpful things to help fix the bug.

Tom, could you try making the clan match engine just a simple counter, which is the O/A of one clan =+ the O/A of the other? E.G:
Clan [CN](Clan Noob) has an overall of 7
Clan {CV} (Clan Veterans) has an overall of 33.

These are added into a counter, which makes 40.
If a random number inside this number is pick that is 7 or under, it would make [CN] Win.
If it went over 7, {CV} would win.

Maybe thats what you are doing o.0

Nah, I guess hes making it a bit more complex :p

Because;

400th post on this thread :D

Glad you like it, Tom.
Credit isn't needed, but I would like some ;D
Anyway, why would the weapon in hand matter? They seem slightly balanced to me.

if life[0]>0||life[1]>0

THIS IS THE LINE THAT DESTROYED THE WHOLE MATCH ENGINE.

I replaced ||, which means 'or', with &&, which means 'and'.
Before the match would go on even if one player would be dead, and the first team always got the point for the kill even if the other player killed him.

Now it's fixed.

Everything is done.

A release is imment.

OMG!, OMG it coming!
ya da man Toumaz

Ohh... big word imminent!
OK, so the first match engine will be the really simple one, then the new one comes in? That sounds better.

The match engine that is used when your clan is involved in a fight is somewhat slow, but much more describable. It tells when a player dies, respawns, and that stuff. The other, script match engine is MUCH faster, and is used when two computer clans fight.

But there's one thing that will delay it slightly... two words:
FRENCH TEST

OMG, French ,the most evil language in the world^^
*Wishes you GOOD LUCK*

Spam deleted.

@ MercyM: Toumaz already said he has a french test, so the release will be coming once he has that over and done with. Also, nobody cares if you've been waiting a long long long (...) time because Toumaz is making this without earning from it, and he's making it for all of us to enjoy. Stop being selfish and appreciate the effort he is putting into this project.

Bah, morons. Take your time Toumaz, passing your test > Soldat, Soldat Manager and any of the silly idiots on these forums ._.

hehe well done it saying it straight stalky :)

Thanks Stalky.

The french test: 1 and a half faults, tee-hee!

Soldat Manager: I have found some new bugs in the SM match engine, but I think I have fixed them all, so the release won't be delayed. However I will have another glace on the match engine during the weekend. Then I'll might release it on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.

I didn't notice who had french test :P

Sorry I was a bit mad MercyM :/ people just don't seem to appreciate how much spare time Toumaz is putting into this.

Try and read his posts more clearly, eh? ;)

Yeah... There's 20 pages :O

Maybe some "multiplayer" things in the (far) future.
Like clans stats or smthn...
And matching with em... or w/e.

He said he might do that... later release is better then now.

I am so happy this wasn't canceled!

That is not racism, that is a translation request. Other than that, if you hold ur deadline, Toumaz, I will have to check this tread more often! Im looking so much forward to it! Keep it up.

OMG, it's out!!!!!!!!
Downloading!

Awesome, this should be great. Thanks Toumaz :)

EDIT: This is amazing Toumaz, my best player is dueling with you in a server at this very minute :D

EDIT 2: Omg you won >:(

Downloading now... Lets c what u got!

Bug Alert!

seems like you left a variable undeclarated :p

____
ERROR in

of Draw Event
for object drawer_gamesquad

Error in code at line 5

____

Selecting "ignore" didnt work, the game crashed after pressign "abort" then.

Happened:
Somewhat around day 6 or 7, the day before my only player lost a match against another clan, the next day another 1on1 match was ment to take place, but my player joined another clan after the day he lost the 1on1.

Still, the game seems nice so far, wlthough there should be some more cheap freelancers on start.

Um... My best player always leave! It happens every day!

This is awesome. I just bought OOMOLOO OMOO for 30$.

[IMAGE]

This god damn error won't leave me alone, it pops up in every match I play...

What r u coding with? Its just that the errors look very GM...! R u using GM? And also about motivation sys: When you have lost alot of matches and then win, you WILL feel very well and up for a challenge. Therefore I dont thik u shuld be lifted only 1 motivation lvl.

Edit: If u r using GM... Then I can help you with futher development:D

Edit2: I dont c myself:( Ill have to be added manually... :'(

quote:Originally posted by vegklUm... My best player always leave! It happens every day!


Happend to me two... you'll have to let them buy the player till all the clans have one.

I've bought blackdevil0742^^ he pwns all.

Why do i have deagles :(

Anyway it's a great game!

The requested document was not found at the server

I cant save the game, what am I doing wrong? I get a similar error message. Oh and zoldat, if you see that message you refer to, just hit back in the browser, and look up, it should say "download" <- logic thing to check, but I clicked the wrong one too first.

I want a clue for the easter eggeh!1!!1!!1!11!oneonerawr!!

st00pid bug.

If you are about to play a match, then you click next day, and your player leaves (when its 1vs1 and you have 1 player) it makes an error message.

But anyways! GOOD JOB TOUMAZ! *thumbs up*

well.. good job toumaz

very addicting game! :D

[IMAGE]... I DONT HAVE NET ATM CANT GET THIS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Aww, why do i miss the exact release date :/
YAY!

Aww, I can't fight, and all my players left me :/
I get the same bug as GD does

Holy [IMAGE], is it ready? *zonk*
EDIT: But, but I dunno how to d/l this :[

I think i'll download it

lol! this is funny. I bought arc and kept on owning unlucky 13's clan. I think there should be more players more clans and how about make it so we can chose maps for clanwars? Like players have there fav map and they play better on maps. And how about a map list? So you would have to fight in several map instead of just 1.

Btw, I cant save games

Thank You Tomaz for a great game. It is SSSOOOOOOO nice i really mean it. I didnot find any problem in my game :) keep going Tomaz!

[EDIT]: Tomaz i think u must fix the player left stuff ;) But it is up to You. NIce Game anyway!!!

Doesnt Work. Save Game > Error in Left Mouse Click.

Sry guys, the page does not support direct linking, so I cannot give I to u:(

I don't have problems that you guys mention...
Suggestions:
-A contract system, so players can't leave without your permission.
-Players get exp. after they have a match.

EDIT:
IF you can't save, save at desktop.

EDIT 2:
Create a folder call "Saves" under "Soldat Manager" to fix the problem of saving.

This game is totally awesome. Great thing to do when i'm bored and my inner net isn't working. <3333


It's too bad i'm a bit late on being in it... oh well :x

you can add extra players lazehboi. open a notepad document then type in:
Player name
1-10 (i think) in accordance to your players primary weapon e.g. 1=deagles
1-4 for secondary weap
0-100 for accuracy
0-100 for agility
0-100 for intelligence
then click save as and drop down to all files then save it as playername.pl
and that should work.

Also note to thoumaz:
2 bugs I have are
1) I have a plaer but a computer team brought him only not from me. So now there are 2 of the same players in the game. But when i click on him it says hes in my clan.
2) At first there are so many transactions with all my players leaving but after a while none of my players are bought :/

Anyway WELL DONE nice game and congratulations for finishing it. The popularity of it as shown by the number of posts in this thread is well deserved.

MJ double post noob!

Nice job on it tournaz, I believe i got money from matches even though I lost 'em though :P

It's a shame you did it in GM, you should try more advanced programming languages :)

[IMAGE]
harharhar

Either you edited a screenie or you play it too much :/ lol.

I can give you a save file if you don't believe. And I've only played 33 matches so far. :P

yay gimme gimmme xD

lol, are there any walkthroughs for this game on www.gamefaqs.com ? Lol nah just kidding, oh and the saving problem is solved by the way. I just shouldnt have .smg in the file name where i want to save.

lol that link looks like it says game fags lol.

Anyway, Toumaz, will you give us a clue for teh easter eggeh? :D

http://m00.laughingllamas.com/fileupload/store/lolol.zip

There you go.

F**KING AWSOME

Yay.
Nice game.. Had question but found out about it myself.




AND VILLE HAXED!

No I didn't. I wasted 4 hours of my life today smashing the next day button and buying my players back. >:(

INTERFACE is it aloved to make Ur oven interfaces when there is a copy right

this game is awsome Toumaz!

not just awsome...its.....its...its.....there is no word for it ;)



new interface (not done) http://s.8d.dk/Sinterface.html

Wait wait wait. Im confused. I try to save...and nothing happens! What do u change in the save file to allow it to save? Remove the .smg title for file name and replace with something else?

great game Toumaz!
You've done a great job with soldat manager, better than i anticipated ;D

For easy player adding/editing:

Soldat Manager Player Creator (click)

Clan one too, dibo?
Meh, it is a good program, but a clan creator too? Please?
WAIT DON'T! I WANNA TRY!!!

They never use secondaries :{

what in the frig is .smg?

I edited the link to the Soldat Manager Player Creator into Toumaz' post.

paramud: Erm, dot soldat manager game, maybe.

oooh, i thought it was silenced machine gun

...
Anyway, I made a (First?) completed interface for Soldat Manager.
MSN Messenger Interface Topic

For those of you who want more cheap players, download this... http://www.soldatforums.com/topic.asp?topic_id=21713 ... It adds 11 cheap players, one clan, and 'Fire' Interface.

I love this.
I have 2 questions tho:
1. Is there any way i can calculate the cost of a player when i'm making it (by stats)
2. Can i speed up the simulation?

ANd some thing like a league would be great <3

Fan Apps forum rules changes concerning Soldat Manager

Ok guys, I don't want the forum becoming packed with Fan Apps for Fan Apps, etc :| its nice having these interfaces created, but it's going to clog the forum up with posts that half the viewers aren't going to be strictly interested in.

I've created a new sticky topic for people to post SM stuff in. Get your files hosted, include a screenshot and post it here: http://www.soldatforums.com/topic.asp?topic_id=21726

yah

Do ppl use secondaires?

havent seen it, maybe in a future version.

OMFG

What have I done... I never imagined that SM would be this big.

OK, many bugs - DAMN.

The sound things can be that SM searches for a sound that doesn't exists. Will fix that.

The >100 stat thing - BUG. I thought I have added in a limit for that.

Will check the Save/Load game function. Something must have went wrong.

And the players doesn't leave your clan - they simply get buyed by other clans.

I will release SM 1.0b as soon as I can because of the bugs.
Sorry.

What does adding spectators to your server do?

quote:Originally posted by ToumazThe >100 stat thing - BUG. I thought I have added in a limit for that.


I hope my save file still works after you fix that.

Don't worrie Ville Mk.2 you can always do the same thing you did, change the numbers in the player files...getting 200 in some stats and other 160 in 33 matches makes me think.

Toumaz your game is great and that's why it's so popular. You deserve it man..good job.

Theres no reason to say sorry Toumaz, I love the game even with the bugs :)

me too

quote:Originally posted by Toumaz

This can cause an error message if you have no players on a match day.
Either...
The match gets cancelled if you don't have a player on match day (Convo between leaders and maybe other players too)Make a clanned player 20% more so they have less chance of being boughtHave the match delayed until you have a player
Just not sure how hard that could be...

quote:Originally posted by SamWhat does adding spectators to your server do?


Nothing so far.

SM 1.0b half done. 2 bugs fixed. However there is NO BUG AT ALL in the save/load game thing.

Sorry for this, but do i have to wait for the other clans to start getting players? I read the manual and all, maybe im a retard, but i would like to know if i just need to let the app idle for a while so a clan will get a player?

quote:Originally posted by Toumazquote:Originally posted by SamWhat does adding spectators to your server do?

There IS a bug. You forget to add the folder "Saves" under "Soldat Manager".

I'm not getting any bug at all, are you sure that you save it with the Soldat Manager extention

If you are having problems saving, are you sure you have actually called the .smg something. When you click save you have to actually rename the file from ".smg" to something like "clan.smg", otherwise it wont save. Creating a save folder doesnt do anything, you can save it anywhere.

Yes, you can save it anywhere, BUT the default save folder is SoldatManger/Saves/. You can solve this by saving at other place....nevermind.

You know you can just beat a few matches and then just smash the next day button and buy your players back? That way you can boost up the stats quite fastly. I only played 33 matches so I could get Grand Diablo. And now there is this sort of design flaw that when someone buys my player (giving me money) I can buy him back with less money. This way I never have to play a single match again. And just look at my game date, it's over 2006 already.

Any help please. thanks

You need to click next day for another clan to buy a player...

[IMAGE], i must be retarded.

Sorry Ville Mk.2 i didn't think of that :/

lol, this is pretty cool

I found a bug, somehow i had two matchs the same day. Sorry if this has already been posted.

http://img130.exs.cx/img130/6906/bug6nq.png[/IMG]

ok can i have the direct url to download this thing, im lost at the site... :\

http://medlem.spray.se/teacherchase/SM/download.htm

Now I have 255 days till the GnR match.
[IMAGE]

The problem is they can schedule matches on days you already have one:

Arg, Kazuki in two clans!
[IMAGE]

Kazuki always multiclans when i play it too :O
And there is a save bug,sometimes at random times saving,it just can't write the byte and it erases,and crashes the whole program.
Happens randomly,could be the first time saving a file,could be the 30th.

Toumaz, you shuld add somewhere:[code]if (whateva variable you are using for stats)>100
(whateva variable you are using for stats)=100[/code]

Simple thingy

Another bug, even worse.

[IMAGE]

Two players on one team?Haven't seen that before..
And..one is a newb,other..still a newb,nevermind on one being better :P

Any estimated release date of 1.0b?
I simply can't wait.
In the next year,there better'd be an online version!!!
Or I will eat your children toumaz.

Also, some ones should prgram a clan maker. So you can have more clans to fight.

[IMAGE]

how long? cant wait

I could easily do a clan maker, but first i need to know what the third variable in the clan files (usually 0) stands for.

Oh, that means if the clan tag should be in front or after the players in the clans name. 0 = before, 1 = after. :)

Because Toumaz might not have the time. Give him some space, he's been working on SM for ages and I think he deserves a break after finally releasing a first version.

Yeah but if he wants it to be perfect, why not?
*Or let a moderator do it!*

Sorry for being away.
Right now I'm working as a practicant at my local library, and will do that for two weeks.

I have done that, only that I forgot the array ID, so it checked the first players stats instead of the stats of the player that had been training. :)

However, SM 1.0b is cancelled.

Instead, SM 1.0.1 will come in a month or two...

...this time with multiplayer support.
Definition: Soldat Manager multiplayer - a system that lets you chat with and challange other human players in real time.

Also I'm incredibly disappointed that noone has found even a single easter egg yet. I can give you some clues to some of them (in fact all of them)...

1. How good are your eyes? Become Soldatish and look carefully...
2. Read the game manual - and I mean really read it.
3. [above]
4. Don't you guys get angry on me from time to time? Let your aggressions out!
5. Control-alt-right mouse button... but on what?
6. In the beginning of all things, enter the name of a movie with Mel Brooks from 1991 in a certain data field.

I hope that will help you people out there to find some easter eggs.

Personally, I would like to have a separated Soldat Manager forum.

Final words... checked my homepage's visitor stats a couple of days ago... I was somewhat disappointed. Only 32 downloads.

A separate Soldat Manager forum? Hm. Let's see how big this thing becomes, if it's popular enough in the future, then maybe.

Think I can help you out Toumaz. But only for today!:

[IMAGE]

Think I have a hunch for #1 and #2 as well...buahahaha >:)

[Edit:] Found # 6! But the scenes changed to fast (damn you Toumaz..lol) so I couldnt take a pic of them. Here goes:

quote:
"Programming...
can cause a lot of pain.
Like having a whole ******* community...
arguing all the time about:
"Release that game, we want it!"
"Hey, but...there are lots of bugs left in the game."
But then they reply...
"Oh, we don't care about the bugs, just release it so we can play it!"
But I know what happens if I do that.
Then about a week later their all going to:
"Oh, the game is so buggy! It's unplayable! We don't want it!"

Those *****s.

Meh, just kiddin :P Great thingy

AHHH Multiplayer this is gonna be awesome!!!
i was getting bored of playing it for 7 hours straight,now only gotta wait a month until multiplayer..
Just DON'T add a feature to load single player games..that would be cheap,lol.

You are lucky. This is the real manual, the stuff above is just bull[IMAGE].
First of all, start a trainer program in the background.
This is important, without it you will not be able to run SM properly.
Then start Soldat and name your player to, let's say, DNA.Styx. Then join any random server.
Now it's time. Start cheating and be downright evil to everyone. Express yourself using bad words.
Cheat in all possible ways - like wallhack, player control, speedhack, barret in close combat.
Repeat the above until you get banned. Find out who the server admin is and spam him until the end.
Now it would be a good time to go to the Soldat Forums and create a topic named
"OMFG I GOT BANNED! WHYES!?" in which you wonder why you got banned even though you know why.
Wait until your topic gets locked and then start harassing the moderator that locked it in
the whole forum. By now you shall have get at least one warning.
Now start another topic named "[IMAGE] DA FORUM" in which you hate the forum and all the members.
Congratulations, you are likely banned now! Now you can start SM and begin to play it.
Repeat the process whenever you're going to play SM again.

umm I made players with the SMPC but when I started a game and should buy them:

[IMAGE]

and when I tried to buy one of them it came an error who u can't get rid of in other ways than closing the game.
how come I get this problem and how to solve it?
-Ken the Great

uhm..read the manual

'Players
Making your own players is very simple. First of all, you can make a copy of any of the files in the Soldat Manager\Players folder to get a template. In this example I will use the player 'Toumaz' as a template. Player files has the file extension '.pl'. Then open the copied file in Notepad (or some other text editor).
You will a number of lines somewhat like this:

Toumaz
3
3
24
21
30

What does the lines mean? Well, starting from the top:

First line
This line shall contain the player's name.

Second line
Sets the players favourite weapon. Use the weapon numbers in Soldat.
For people that doesn't have Soldat:

1 - Desert Eagles
2 - HK MP5
3 - Ak-74
4 - Steyr AUG
5 - Spas-12
6 - Ruger 77
7 - M79
8 - Barret M82A1
9 - FN Minimi
0 - XM214 Minigun

Third line
Sets the players secondary weapon. Again, this is the same as the weapon numbers in Soldat.
For people that doesn't have Soldat:

1 - USSOCOM
2 - Combat knife
3 - Chainsaw
4 - M72 LAW

Fourth line
Sets the players accuracy. Can be set in the range 0-100.

Fifth line
Sets the players agility. Can be set in the range 0-100.

Sixth line
Sets the players agility. Can be set in the range 0-100.

When then saving the player file, you shall name the file after your player name. For example, the player Toumaz is saved as 'Toumaz.pl'.

That's all you need to know about making players.'

not hard

Download link is broken :/

quote:Originally posted by DerF-Download link is broken :/

No it's not, you have to click on the downloads button, then do it from there.

Soldat Manager 1.0.1 99% finished.

I just have to check the multiplayer part a little bit more, then it's release time again.

YaY! Go Toumaz!

Really? Multiplayer?
That sounds really, really good Toumaz, just does it have a lobby? Or is it IP based?

mmmmmm i love you.

Yes, multiplayer.

It's IP based. I haven't got internet at home, otherwise I would have made a lobby system and put my computer as a lobby. Also I think it's impossible to create a lobby in GM, as you cannot have multiple connections open at the same time. I could of course use an external program that connects to the lobby, but... as I said I do not have the possibility of hosting a lobby server. Sad but true.

Some multiplayer features:

PLAYING MATCHES (of course!)
Like the computer simulation (between bot clans), to not create masta-lag.
But this time with a bet system: the two clans bet an amount of money ($0, 100, 250, 500) that will be put in a pot. Then the match is played - the winnner gets the money in the pot. It's that simple.

CHAT
1) A separate chatroom
2) While contacting other managers (to arrange a match)
3) Private messages
4) After matches

However there are some things I'll need to work on some more. If one player shuts down SM by force (ending the program process) it will not be registered on the server, and the player will remain in the manager list. The same if the program errors out (however I haven't found a single bug of that kind).

The multiplayer system will maybe lag like hell sometimes as well, because I have used broadcasting (everyone sends to everyone) with guaranteed messaging (eek, laggeh!). However this was somewhat faster than having the server recieve the guaranteeds and then re-send them to all other players... so don't worry about the broadcasting.
Also there are few messages sent; when buying/kicking/training players, chat messages, challanges, and a few more situations.

But SM 1.0 saves will not be compatible with 1.0.1, so you need to start all over again. Sorreh.

Also lots of bugfixes. There were one bug that caused a whole hell of a lot other bugs: the match were removed from the match array before the match stats had been set. Oh God what a mistake I made. This didn't cause any sh!ts if you only had one upcoming match, but if you had more than one... chaos.

Is it done../released yet????
Lol..GEN0CIDE NEED SM,GEN0CIDE ANGRY
I'm guessing no..but how many days/weeks?
I need a new pastime while doing homework..

If you made a lobby system, how big would it be? I might get a server for ya, but cannot guarantee great speeds...

How big? Well... the lobby server itself wouldn't be more than about 650 kb. The traffic would be nothing to worry about.

SM 1.0.1 is now completed - expect a release very soon (perhaps even today...!).

(editez)

I stumbled upon Soldat.int.pl while searching for SM using Google - and found this:

Don't relese yet, you should wait till you can get a lobby.

News?Don't leave us hanging here...please

silince is killing me :(

hey, your soldat manager is a really great idea!
i like it very much but there are some things i wanted to say:
i dont know another sad this but when i have a match tomorrow and between today and tomorrow my own player is going to another clan the game crash and nothing is saved...
and it would be great when you could with your players when somebody wanna buy him that i can make somethin again this because thats the stupids thing in sm...
but anyway, it´s great

The bug above is fixed.
But now to this post's real reason...

Soldat Manager 1.0.1 released!
Lots of bugfixes and - perhaps most important - multiplayer!

Get it from http://toumazweb.cjb.net , and notice the new sexyness of the site.

Oh, and by the way Sam and grand_diablo - apologize me for not telling you that I included your players and clans in this new version. Hope it's okay with you guys. ;/

(edit)

Haha, I checked if ToumazWeb.cjb.net had been added to the link list at Soldat.pl, and this is what I found:

(edit2)
Link fixed.

just a note of warning toumaz, some people might not be clever enough to realise that there is a comma in that link at the end. :) BUT HOOORAAAY!!! SM 1.01!!! MULTIPLAYERERRErER :D:D:D:D:

Is anyone able to host a server?
Anyone have one?
Please post the www or I.P.

I tried a multiplayer game today, it didnt work. I was able to start the server, but my opponent's SM couldnt find an open session on my IP.

Well it works on LAN, I know that. But how do we start the match? Lol

So... What is the point of this?

wow, A new version
D/ling^^

yeah great i will test it now

when I challenge an enemy (AI) clan and I only choose match date, I get to choose player number:S

Whoops. Will check that.

Suggestion: If weapon sounds from soldat folder are used, can weaponnames be used too?
Also, people keep buying my clan member on the day I have a match. I cannot buy anyone else because no members means no overall rating, and so I must buy myself a 13 soldier while the other clans have 91s. Is this the way it is supposed to work? Perhaps an option to refuse people wanting to buy players?

Lastly, my 79 with excellent motivation is consistently beaten (12 in a row) by a 62 with awful motivation. We have the same weapon choice so is this bug or bad luck on my part?

Suggestion comment: I know that this issue is quite annoying. If someone has a suggestion for this then come forward and tell me. Refusing players transactions - naah, but perhaps that the player price goes higher when the player is in a clan with perhaps 25% of the org. player price.

It's bad luck. I've searched the match engine for several bugs, including this non-existing M-79 bug, but it doesn't exists. Actually there are often players damaging themselves with the M79 by keing too close to the enemy.

How about, if the player motivation is excellent, they don't want to leave their clan and so their price goes up? Vice versa for awful.

Well if their motivation is excellent, they shouldn't leave the clan at all.

Completely agree, and thanks for including EliteSM in the new version.

I really like this game, it's excellent. But just now i got an error message

omg, you made Soldat Manager in GameMaker!?!?!?!

thats amazing.

EDIT: waaaaaaa! put me in the next version! :(

name: Will
favwep: AK
secondary: Knife
overall(?): 90

If I may ask, what is the use of the Secondary Weapon in the 'Manager? The players never use it...

No, they never use it. I was too tired to implent it.

If you wonder why I'm never here, that's because I work as a little beaver on Teacher Chase 2.

Bah, I'm even thinking of making Soldat Manager open source...

In fact, I'm almost sure that I'm GOING to do it some time.

Well that's good news :P
When you're done with TC2 contact me. Me wanna see it!

Sorry for kicking this old topic, but is there any news on a new version? or a open-source version?

Well... I've got to retrieve the SM source code first, since my old computer crashed earlier this summer and my new doesn't have any empty HDD slots. But as soon as I have aquired the source, and bought Office XP (I really need that Frontpage proggie) I'll make the Soldat Manager source code free to download for everyone.

Thanks for caring about this old piece of software, dadarkman. Much apprieciated (how the hell do you spell that?!).
