This is a release candidate version. If all goes well I plan to release it public on Friday. Hopefully I will have mirrors setup until Thursday.
If you get any serious error, like access violation, runtime errors or anything that would prevent you from playing please report IMMEDIATELY, so I will have time to fix it. Also any installation errors and whatever you think should be fixed, please report. So check it out. The SK beta server is running with this version.

The download link doesn't work for me.

Works now, thanks.

Time to check this out.

I get acces violations on the SK beta :(


[edit]
Now the SK beta wont let me join... it says connection accepted but i cant join (but my resolution changes).

mirrored:

*snip*

Sorry I released an access violation producing version. Hopefully I'll fix it.
Please delete the mirrors and the download.

I just noticed: The weapons.ini included isn't the latest we got. Will you include the one with, for example, 27 startup for Barret and less reload for LAW?

OK you can download it again.

quote:Originally posted by MisterXI just noticed: The weapons.ini included isn't the latest we got. Will you include the one with, for example, 27 startup for Barret and less reload for LAW?

No, this one is fine.

At least the lowered reload could've been in :/ But as you wish :)

No problems with this version, good work :)

The bug that 1 shot of the Deagle gets ricochet'ed when standing on the ground and shooting upwards seem to be rather extreme in 1.3.1. It's nearly impossible to shoot upwards. Always 1 shot will be ricochet'ed, most of the time it totally disappears. And as far as I could see the shot which flies normally doesn't do any damage. A bit too much for one of the weakest and hardest to use weapons in the game :|

re-mirrored:
http://u13.net/go.php?id=71 <-- full installer
http://u13.net/go.php?id=72 <-- patch

You're right about the DEagles, it happens when you're standing next to a wall too. I don't know if I can easily fix it.
You can wait with the mirrors, there might be some more problems still.

the links are down :S

It works just fine for me, no access violations at all
(I've installed the patch on the last beta version)

Works perfectly, I used the full installer, by the way.

One thing which I still find weird. Why does the knife bounce like it does when you only tap the throw button? It's kind of weird.

EDIT: By the way, shouldn't the update list say:

- Fixed red team caps worth 20 instead of 25

and not:

- Fixed blue team caps worth 20 instead of 25 points <-- the way it's now.

Other than that, I have to say I think it's a great version. Good balance on weapons, lots of excellent bug fixes, new features and the new maps are nice as well. Great job MM and everyone who has been working on this version! I hope the public will like it. :)

umh, if ctf_Death2.PMS is the Death edit, then you wped the wrong ctf_Death2 version. I actually created a new one (which I announced before I gave it to Keron Cyst to waypoint at first), located at the same place. (www.denacke.net/Dibo/maps/ctf_Death20.PMS)

The newest version does fix the problem with the upper wall, cause you can boost yourself through it easily in the version that you edited (the first release was more of a concept, to see if the beta team likes the changes or not). Id recommend changing to the newer version. It doesnt have waypoints yet, but the same wps as in the current edit should work (dunno how to copy all the wps from one map to another. If that is possible it shouldnt be too much of a problem, as the bots dont use the upper way anyways).

yeah, the ctf_death2 in the game is kinda ugly with the two wholes in the middle :X

those two wholes are not my creation, they are freestyle by Michal (I think they look quite ok, yet the true problem with the map lies elsewhere) :p

But this freestyle still isn't nice :X
MM just take Grand's original.

I found a way to fix the deagles, that I didn't see before. Also I made the roof of ctf_Death2 deadly. I made the holes because I didn't like the patch work in that area, too many polygons :p.
Tell me if there are problems with this installation.

alright, my mirrors aren't updated yet... just tell me when you think they should be

I'll tell when you can give me mirrors (probably tomorrow, in my timezone). Be sure to delete your mirrors, because if that version spreads out there will be a mighty confusion. Not to mention giant robots might come out and beat you up.

So, you guys content with the balance? what is it anyhow.... just checking ^_^

If you can setup a mirror please do so now and send me the links as soon as possible.
Only the game files, because I'll probably change something in the server before the release.

//So, you guys content with the balance? what is it anyhow.... just checking ^_^
I think we pretty much agreed on the balance. The only problems might be from the nades (it's risky to change that now), but I don't think that it is a big problem that will contribute to any kind of inbalance. Well, time will tell.

EDIT: Uh...

http://selfkill.com/

Soldat 1.3.1 is in the top downloads (upper right corner) already, could have been for some time now. I suppose it's a script which makes the most downloaded files automatically appear there. I don't know how Soldat 1.3.1 is the second most downloaded file but there it is...

EDIT2: The 1.3 to 1.3.1 patch is there as well. ._.

EDIT3: I told r0adkill and he deleted them. Still, someone had noticed this and was talking about it in gather. So it's possible that some people have already downloaded it.

...Oh my god.

the system automatically posted the dl link when r0adkill established the selfkill mirror. He has changed the filename now, so the d/l doesnt work atm. It will be changed back once the official release is there.

Both Belgium

Soldat 1.3.1 full

Soldat 1.3 to 1.3.1 patch
http://dl.denacke.net/27

Link won't work 'till it's been released officially. Someone of us likes to spread them to people as fragbait who promotes it.

What do you guys think about setting up a torrent for 1.3.1 full or is it pointless for a 11MB file?

I'm hoping enough people are "smart" enough to use a torrent.

By the way, I don't know if you need mirrors for the server but I uploaded them just in case as well:

umh, do fileupyours and filelodge host them PERMANENTLY, or do they get removed after some time? Cause only permanent mirrors are needed afair.

The files won't be deleted.

i got my mirror back up for the official dl page MM, please feel free to add it for the patch and installer

<Apoc|ouch> THERES A BUG IN 131!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<Apoc|ouch> WHY DOES IT REQUEST 121 SERVERS ?

hrm hrm.

It's just a lobby server bug. It requests versions with "1" at the end of the name :). No worries I know what is wrong.

I torrented the 1.3.1 full version of Soldat.

I'm uploading the files to www.fileplanet.com. If you can do that with other sites like that it would be great. It's also free advertising.
