+ Soldat 1.2 fix changes
Added '/shutdown' command for server
Added bigger console for messages after pressing the
Fixed lobby server address and servers list downloading
Fixed 'bad packet' debug messages
Fixed random crashing ('decompression failed')

Some of the changes need a few comments:

Server makes an automatic kick vote if cheating is detected to prevent unfortunate bans -
The best anti-cheat protection will be when people decide to kick the cheater. Please vote for kick when there appears a cheater on the server.
If the game detects cheating it will not kick the player but make an automatic vote kick so people can decide if he is guilty or not.

New Advance Mode - Players are limited to secondary weapons on game start. A new weapon can be selected every couple of kills
(every 10% of the Kill Limit or 10% 5 x Capture). So for example if the limit is 30, you get a new random weapon every 3 kills,
and lose a weapon every 3 deaths.

Weapons aim is affected by bullet hits - Named by one of the beta testers the bink effect. this option has the biggest impact on the Barret.
The rest of the weapons are slightly or not at all affected by this. If somebody shoots you, your aim gets worse (you can see it
when your cursor gets bigger). It has been implemented so that other weapons have greater chance against the Barret.

Bullet time effect - It appears when all players are on the same screen (they are close and see each other) and one of them dies.

So have fun.

In map 'Arena', when i shoot deagle from 5 o'clock air to right-downside,

i can even kill Boogie Man who is camping around big box at right-downside corner, with the ricochet effect.

KeFear
October 26, 2004, 8:03 pm
This just sux.. i dont like the new gameplay... :(
Bullet Time sux..
And i deffinately hate ricochets.. . In the new ctf map.. i can kill everyone whos near the flag.. and i dont have to see them, just shoot in the cave...

By the way, i like the other fixes, like the chatlog shading while f1, but the other things definately ruin the gameplay :( Especcially Bullet time.. in 1vs1 its maybe a nice feature.. but when more ppl are playing.. NO! And it has a bug: when i die, i spectate on others, and when they die, and bullet [:-censored] comes, i respawn slowed..

But to say some positive things: I like the advanced mode. Cool, but some sidefects: new joiners just dont have a chance to advance with some secondary.. in real, yes, but in normal: not much...

And the new "barret fix" or some is only good for f* campers only.. I just hate the ricochets :( So surreal... Imagine shooting with a real gun at the ground.. it just wont ricochet, the soil would stop the bullets. If it would work only with specific type of poligons, i would say okay, but this?! Sorry, but no.

Ah heck, maybe i need to get used to this new [:-censored]s... Sorry for my swear, but it really made me mad.

Ok, ok, I've always wanted to do this... Take a look at yourselves, boys: Soldat Breaks the Mold With 1.3

"It's a joke, it's a joke!" you all said so surely. What do you say now, huh? Never doubt Michal's work. Big props to Chakra. :D I thought his "plan" to let you all confuse yourselves and look like fools was a great idea. :D

Yeah, I absolutely loved testing 1.2.1. Michal worked so much faster than I would have thought. So, I had a great time, and I appreciate that you let me have the experience. :)

This version truly broke the mold. Awesome job.

Well... i found a bug again. I started a game in CTF than added Boogie Man, i changed to ctf_Death, than a shade-man appeared. Heis totally black, and doesn't do anything just stand there, but i could kill him. I have some screens. I wanted to make a demo too, but when i started it, he suddenly dissapeared. Maybe he is camera-shy. :) (And all of this is true)

BTW, i'm getting used to this new version... i dont like for example ctf_b2b's changes, and hopefully Bullet Sh!t can be turned off (yes, it's fun, if i play with one bot, but i just never play with bots, especially not one...)
And ricochets are not so disturbing.. but there is a ctf map, i dont know its name, and you can easily kill everyone at the flag by shooting in the tunnel...

Don't report bugs in here, they won't really be noticed by Michal. Anyway, the Soldat ghost has already been mentioned to Michal, but it seems like he either can't or doesn't want to fix it.

The Bullet time can easily be turned off in Soldat.

Yes, you see what map Soldat is downloading and you can see the progress in percent. Soldat also loads all needed sceneries etc.
The vote kick system works well, servers just have to increase the required percentage to pass a vote.

I finaly tested 1.2.1 and I give a 5 to this version. I like 75% of the new stuffs but GODDAMN, New maps need greater waypoint, they sux all the way except for bigfalls. Another thing, it's way to laggy, it's kinda impossible to play 8 vs 8 and no, my computer is not cheap.

P.S. Bullet time is kinda funny with knife and ricochet rulez.

Thanks a lot for the positive comments! It's a good version, I wanted to bring some fresh air into the game without spoiling anything and I think I managed to do it. Well I have great time playing. It's funny to play against people who don't know about the ricochets, you can trick them ;), but that's gonna change soon as people get used to it. Oh, and please advertise this version wherever you can, on different forums, IRC, friends, magazines. We need some attention, not everybody knows about this great game! :)

And hey, i recall what i said about lags.. i've updated RIA server to 1.2.1 and it's not so laggy. And with auto map download, it is possible for us to put custom maps on the server, and ppl can play on them! It's a great feature! And i'm getting used to the ricochets.. bullet time is fun with few ppl..

It means you can't hide behind boxes or polys with your gun sticking out the other side so you can snipe while protected. You also can't lay down on a bridge and shoot down through it.

Technically the gun itself hasn't been changed but the 'bink effect' is by far the most powerful on the barret and has definitely changed its effectiveness (especially in barret assaulting). Also the muzzle flash change mentioned above mainly affects the way the barret is used (especially while camping).

The guns are absolutely perfect now, That is the general consenus from what people have been saying on servers, Except for the noob barret whores , who dont have any skill in the other weapons because theyve never used them before. The barret is now on an even class with the rest of the guns, Increasing the fun factor for all. WOOHOO

The "download new maps" thing is crapping my Soldat up... whenever I go to a server using a non-original map, it says Coonecting for a minute or so, then says "connected" and stays that way. But it doesn't actually enter the friggin' game! :P

Otherwise awesome tho. :) I expected bullettime to be controllable, but this is fine too I gues... :P

There is an annoyning bug in the Servers List: If you sort the list to anything, when you click in a server it will sort the list by 'Ping'. It's annoyning as hell. >_<

Other than that, the new versions owns. :D

just a few things that were not fixed in this version and i hate.

The grenade bug, when the grenade blows in your face.

INF--- how sometimes blue cant get the flag when it in on the fround and red can with out any probs. I was in Fortress and the flag was on the ground moving along and i couldn't return it. 2 guys came on me i killed on ( while trying to reurn the damn flag) and the other one killed me and took the flag without a problem.

So how has the world of Soldat changed since 1.2.1 was released in your oppinion?
It surely is more popular, I noted a record a couple of days ago: http://www.soldatforums.com/temp/record.png .

Icarius
November 20, 2004, 6:00 pm
It definatly has gotten bigger, I've noticed that even at silly times, the game is a lot more filled with players than it has been in a while

I think this might be because of the weapon balance and how the game is progessing. Just do us a favour though and get rid of that [IMAGE]ing bug with the server list. It's such a pain to select anything when it automatically arranges everything by Ping :O

Michal, about 15% are still playing Soldat 1.2 according to the lobby :)
Anyway, as ironic as it may seem, since the release of Soldat 1.2.1 I haven't even played more than two hours, although I think it's an awesome version.

KnOt
November 22, 2004, 5:04 pm
Well.. I love it.. but, honestly there are so many people who prefered 1.2 .. They keep whining about the autos etc ..( Especially minimi and ak) .. I do think that the only mistake you made Michal, was increasing Ak's power.. You know it didn't need it.. I did hear once that it was your favourite gun.. was this why? ;D

Deleted User
November 22, 2004, 5:29 pm
1.2.1 is pretty good, but i think it have more bugs that in 1.2 and i dont like it. I can see more laggy servers too...
And that Auto map downloading isnt working on me? OH and that flag, it's
irritating me so [IMAGE]ing much. I mean i run through the flag, but can't catch it...
I think i should post this to "Need help? Report bugs!" area, but now it's here...

The AK's power was increased by less than 5%, it doesn't change nothing really, you can check how many bullets it needs to kill in 1.2.0 and 1.2.1. It was a sort of experiment to see how people react when I suggest that a weapon is more powerfull.
Everything is like I predicted. People now complain about the autos but stopped complaining on the barret :).
I think this version is much more fun and with a couple of bug fixes it will be perfect in the future.

Icarius
November 27, 2004, 2:57 pm
You need to implement a Health Slider desperatly. The Balance is fine in my opinion, but I feel like things die way to quickly. Also, maybe a 2.5% increase would probably be better than a 5% increase.

BManx2000
November 27, 2004, 4:34 pm
4.3% increase actually, or 1.21 points out of 28.07 points.

Fangus Deef
November 27, 2004, 5:53 pm
the autos are all fine, it's all balanced if yer not an idiot. you did good, but there's still some things i'd like to see tweaked, modifyed, fixed, added and subracted, that others would deem smart. im a man of the people....(fix my bots too!!!! >:|)

November 28, 2004, 8:59 am
The auto's need a slight tone down in my opinion, many would agree.

Fangus Deef
November 28, 2004, 6:18 pm
many have always agreed that something is a 'noobgun' everyone should just shut up, cuz you'll never be happy if you bitch about barrett then bitch about autos. this is a good version, none of the weapons should be changed from how it is. (unless you wanna tone down the minigun lift and give it 150 bullets again, michal XD)

DannyLB
November 28, 2004, 7:20 pm
@ Michal, well guess it was time to leave the barret alone no? Frankly i'm happy people are off my back about the fact that i use the barret. Personally i dont think the weapons should be changed. I look at this small change to the AK, and i think what would have happened if a Weapon editor would exist :X

When I said slight tone down, I didnt mean nerf the gun totally back to what it was before 1.2.0

The balance is getting a lot better, but it needs just a few touches and everything will be even.

Not everyone complained about the barret in 1.2, If you look at the clan community now you will see more and more people getting annoyed by random spraying in matches, Something needs to be seriously done as playing in a clan is not fun anymore.

No, I mean you can mug enemies with your weapon (melee, hit 'im with your gun) if you're close enough. And you were always able to steal MediKits! :/ Just grab enemy MediKits and you deprive the opposing team while flourishing your own, since they all spawn at respawn pts. equally...
