what do you think will be the next step in soldat?

imo hopfully it will be MUCH better net code so that a 56er such
as myself can playonline without to much troubles, and also the
wepons editor.

next step = new weapon: yo-yo with metal spikes

Michal said on the Forum:

- weapon editor
- console

That's everything we know. I think it's enough for the next version, the rest probably will be bug fixes and small improvements.

what kind of console[?]

I think everyone wants a better net code. But i assume it is one of the hardest area for Mike to improve.
Im currently enjoying 1.2............... yeah its true...... so im not looking to the future.

i got 256 and sumtimes it lags so much
i hope he does make a better net code

I think console for commands, like in some fpp games.

Yeah id love to see the netcoding become really good!

My Half Life style MOTD I suggested may be included too! Whee!

motd? eksplane.
the only things i want are a better net code, MUCH better bots, and an improved interface maker.

nothing much then... just a re-write of the basic code in soldat ¬_¬

In the words of the hobit dancing on my desk : What'll come will come, we'll just have to wait and see...

MOTD = Message of the Day

Console version could improve performance

Michal already improved on the netcode...is going to be even harder to somehow optimize and compress the packets...

i dont think mutch soldat doesnt need a lot, its nice like it is [:P]

i like the new version's lack of lag for the most part. sometimes it gets a bit wierd, like bots warp to the flag and back again about 2 times in less than 4 secs :/
the essentials are the ability to get rid of those bad packet messages (replace with another ping-like dot?) and get better bot AI. they could be improved easily.

P.S.
dont finagle the barret, it's fine how it is.

All I would want done is this bad packet thing fixed, then everything can stay the same.

the noobs using miniguns, camping and spawnkilling with barrets at your base would be pretty good to take off soldat but, its fine like it is once u dont play on public servers :P

I wish he follows Janus recommendations about code optimization

Yeah. And should fix the minigun lagging thing. Maybe make barret little less accuarcy on move, still skilled barretmans would own.

I agree, although I don't see how he could fix the "minigun lagging thing" (if it even does lag) without reducing the amount of bullets it spews.

i think the minigun's power should be upped a little considering its terrible accuracy, make it 25% more powerful

are you okay? think of minigun having 100 bullets and noobs using it with your idea, i dont think that would happen
