Here it is v1.2.2c. I want this to be a final version before the release candidate versions. No more suggestions are welcome, we have to leave them for another time. I want all bugs tracked down. If there are some really old bugs then it means I couldn't fix it, so don't post. Please discover some new bugs:).


Changes 1.2.2b-1.2.2c:
- Added add, delete to favourite servers list buttons. List holds now server names, IPs, ports and passwords.
- Added different files of gostek for second team (for mods, possibility of two different looking teams)
- Added different files for weapon muzzle fires (for mods)
- Added client command "/info" - displays info from server about address, timelimit, nextmap etc.
- Added if player which is being voted on leaves the game then he gets temporarily banned
- Added "/unbanlast" command, unbans last vote/server/admin ban
- Added "/banlast" command (similar to /kicklast, ban works for 1 hour)
- Added "/kill X" command (X can be player's number or name) (of course this is an admin command)
- Added names appear next to players when in spectator mode
- Modified spectator cam is faster
- Modified flood kick ban is 20 minutes now
- Modified game admins cannot be kicked
- Modified server is automaticly unpaused if all players disconnect
- Modified idle kick time lowered to 3 minutes
- Modified automatic ping sort works only after whole list is downloaded or cancel pressed
- Fixed "biodro.bmp", "biodro2.bmp" and "reka.bmp"
- Fixed player does not join same team if chosen from change team menu (can be used for canceling the menu)
- Fixed paused server can be joined
- Fixed modified animations bug
- Fixed no respawn time showing after changing team from spectator
- Fixed changing video mode when joining server with wrong password
- Fixed soldat.ini value Record_Time=, time in minutes of the autodemo rerecording

Any questions?

patch: [URL]

I'll add the download to the server later.
Weapons.ini is modded in this version, I didn't change the default settings so you can see what I changed.

We have to make a time for another Beta/Slaughter Session...

hmm, hopefully this beta/slaugter session can be at a time that works for me. unfortunately I can't play at times friendly to europeans during the week, at least not before 10 or 11 pm.

Weekends?

Does that mean that the animations can now be modified freely, or that the summertime doesn't screw up soldat anymore?

I really like these additions :) moddability is awesome. Good job fixing the summertime animations screw up too.

http://freespace.virgin.net/tim.l/beta122c.zip <-- mirror for you Michal so you can take the file offline when you want.

edit typo gah

Edit2: Michal, you forgot to add "Mods are now loaded from /mods" to the list ;) also, I still can't see the M79 bullet when I change bullet type to 1.

"Mods are now loaded from /mods"
Yeah thanks.

// can't see the M79 bullet when I change bullet type to 1.
I couldn't fix that sorry. But you can change the stationary gun bullet now, so it can fire grenades for example (didn't test it though).

:(

Could you make it so it uses its normal bullet but behaves differently? So, if you made M79 have bullet type 1, it would still fire m79-bullet.bmp, but it would behave like a normal bullet - it would hit the player normally instead of exploding? That way we could edit m79-bullet.bmp to look like a normal bullet and solve the problem.

Btw, stationary gun with bullet type 4 = love it <3

PS: http://www.soldatforums.com/topic.asp?topic_id=24645 <-- this bug is fixed now, I just tested it. Good job :)

You're not taking these post-it notes, blank floppy disks and chewed mechanical pencils!
You can have the hole punch though.
