This is it, a release candidate version. I'm not doing anything from this point so nothing gets broken. Please report major bugs, like crashing, missing files etc.. There is still some stuff I've got to add to the manual. There is still a possibility to change the weapons mod, change the gostek files, change the maps?

Changes 1.3 - 1.3.1f
- Added join spectator team button in team select menu
- Added new maps DesertWind, htf_Rubik, ctf_Maya2, ctf_Lanubya (winner of ESL mapping contest) (by grand_diablo),
Blox, ctf_Snakebite, ctf_Ash (by chakapoko maker), htf_Dusk (by Michal), htf_Muygen (by The Geologist)
- Added new secret ownage command
- Added file readonly.txt to prevent downloading certain files (original maps and sceneries cannot be downloaded)
- Added new anti-cheat solutions
- Added new command: /loadlist X (loads maplist from file X.txt);
- Added new command: /lobby (reregisters the server in the lobby server)
- Added log files split after reaching 512KB of size
- Added png and jpg files are supported by the file download system
- Modified fixes in maps: ctf_Equinox, ctf_Voland, ctf_B2b
- Modified weapon balance (check weapons.ini for details)
- Modified all maps can be changed or voted in the in-game map change menu
- Modified all weapons must be reloaded after pick-up (prevents reload exploits)
- Modified can't vote until 2 minutes pass after server join
- Modified grenades don't explode on corpses (prevents lag bugs)
- Modified if texture can't be downloaded for map default one is loaded
- Modified all weapons bullets (except Barret, M79 and LAW) lose power after long distance (to prevent blind spraying)
- Modified weapon can't be reloaded if is fully loaded
- Modified Barret has more movement speed aim penalty and has short wait time before firing
- Modified M79 gives 30% more self damage
- Modified knife throwing - speed of knife depends on how long you hold the throw button
- Fixed extreme bink on respawn
- Fixed lobby registering errors in non-dedicated server game
- Fixed yellow player name still after thrown away flag
- Fixed flame whizz sound
- Fixed players using the same file for headgear
- Fixed Spas-12 reload exploit

I got a 'Soldat must be closed, report to M$ blah blah blah' error right after I started Soldat.

How did you install it and on what? Can you see how it can be fixed?

5PM GMT is fine by me. I can probably only play for one hour but it should be enough.

Anyway, I hope that 1.3.1. will be released soon since beta has reached this point. :)

I noticed a weird knife bug, but it's hard to explain. I'll get a demo.

Also, for some reason, it seems that knife is less effective while moving, especially when you are moving fast (even when you hold). I could be wrong but it just feels that way.

The animation (rucha.poa) is in the Demos folder.

uh is it just me or does the secret ownage command not work too well? when you do it your guy doesnt do what he's supposed to do.

edit - everythings fine when you move the anim to where it's suppsoed to be.

i was just screwing around with deagles and i got the crouch surf bug =/

Ah, thanks! That's probably why there was a crash.

Oh by the way, I heard that I'll have to leave tomorrow at 3PM GMT and I'm not sure if I'm back by 5PM GMT. Possible, but not too sure. So I'm sorry if you don't see me there.

Although I have already said this in a previous topic, looking at the ammount of infiltration maps compared to CTF, HTF and DM maps, a few more infiltration maps should be added into the official map list. Perhaps then, players would start playing infiltration mode more often rather than CTF or DM, adding more variety to Soldat.

Same happened here - however I patched my previous 1.3.1

Edit: Still happened after I installed a fresh copy, too.

Yeah but I haven't seen any really good INF maps. If you got some new suggestions please give them to me, I'll try to check it out.

yukwunhang: Try reinstalling the game again. Be sure that you have 'rucha.poa' in Anims folder. When exactly does the error appear? Are you registered?

The "readonly.txt to prevent downloading certain files (original maps and sceneries cannot be downloaded)"

It doesn't seem to work for maps. When i edit a map and then join a server the first time I join I get a Wrong Map Version and the second time it downloads the map altought it's in the readonly.txt.



[EDIT²]
And what about default maplists for the different gamemodes (X.txt) so when you change a /gamemode X on a server you (or soldat?) can do /loadlist X.

I got the error every other time I played .1f, but now theyve seemed to stop.
Either that or my computer was being buggy last night.
