Michal,

The chainsaw is WAAYY too powerful. i've been owning servers using JUST the chainsaw.
it'd be better with a) more screen shake and b)less power. to even it out a bit.

Sweeeeeet!
Downloading now...

This is so awesome. SO awesome.

[:D] OH WOW YEAH !!!!!!!!

Well, I do have one problem with the new version-- when i installed the patch, it reset ALL of my profiles to the default soldier (colors and everything).

I'm glad to see many of you like it. However, I've found a bug, and hopefully a quick fix can be made....there is a missing texture...

Michal, great work once again. But there is a problem with the mrsnowman mountain. When I reworked it, I used a different texture...I.E. different name, and I thought you knew this. So now people will have a problem with this map...this is what happened to a few people on my server. I hope there is an easy way to fix this, without a new version being released.

Other than that, I think it's great. Don't listen to the complainers. You've made a frickin awesome game. This is better than CS, and better than HL also. (i'm a little made at half life; couldnt beat the last level. yes i know, i suck :P)

Enjoy

wormdundee: the ctrl will update the cache

I agree with Nebby. There is no way that someone could use a chainsaw on you for less than a second while running past and do more damage than an assault rifle spraying you for several seconds. It is way overpowered.

In my opinion, this is different from CS or HL. You can't compare to them both.

And with the volcano map if you grab the enemy flag, go to the top, and fly up until you get ported back to your spawn, instead of respawning, the flag stays missing i also tried this with abel, and it dissapeared there too. i grabbed the minigun and searched completely around the map, and never saw it.

well micahl, the creator of soldat, our god, 1.1.4 kicks ass BUT the chainsaw must go off.
you can camp on your flag and just start the chainsaw and anyone who will try to take the flag
will be dead.
besides that, it's very good game

omg even sooner than i expected. YAY

but im having exams these two weeks, itll cost me my year!!!

oh well...

THX MICHAL

im like....WOW. cant wait to get it...but...
2 ppl above sed they couldnt see the new link, like it hadnt refreshed or something,
same here. <='O...delete all temp int files or soemthing. WHEE IM SO HAPPY!

K, well, i got the game from a friend over MSN, and it is SO cool. As for the chainsaw, dont bitch about it, a chainsawer is really easy to take out. It is, after all, a close up weapon. ANywy, it is a wonderful gme Michal. HOnestly, it is better than most store bought games and better than ALL freeware games/shareware games. I dunno why, but it is SWEET.

Ya, same wth me doggfatha, i have exmas tommorow and on mon and tues. Ill just have to control myself.............

The chainsaw really has to go. Already every game you go into, no matter what type, half the people are using saws. Yeah, you can dodge them in open space, but i play CTF, and people with saws are spawning the crap outta everyone. All they have to do is run back and forth and they wipe out the whole team. Where is the skill in that? I also heard several people suggest that it be taken out as a secondary weapon, and put in as a powerup. That would cut down the usage alot, but still keep it in the game for those people who like it. Also, many times people spawn without weapons. I know im picking at ya, but these bugs have to be fixed. The saw is unbalancing the game.

bout time

question for michal and for all of you:
why would someone use the knife (one stab=kill - but takes some time between evry stab)
if he can use chainsaw ( 0.5 second on the other player and he's dead - as long as you click on fire the chainsaw cant stop)?
well one of them got to go off and my vote is chainsaw.
btw great game michal:)

maybe chainsaw shouldn't go, as u can make it overheat for example, and not use it for a few seconds till it cools down. and duke is right it's powerfull, but it's a closeup weapon. it is balanced.

the m72 takes toooo much reload... and u should see a larger part of the screen when u fire it (as with the barret, but I think more distant because of the slow reload time and the arc of it) so u can really learn to use it fully

[Freakmode=On] MAN YEA MAN COOL MAN I CAN"T BELLEAVE IT MAN MAN MAN THIS IS COOL MAN ITS GREAT MEN COOL COOOL COOOOOOOOOL [Freakmode=off]
Great work Michal.

i had a heart attack just reading the fixes/updates.

nice

If Mr_Snowman map won't work, here is the missing texture: ananas2.bmp (http://soldat.cyberion.pl/ananas2.bmp - right click/save as..). Download it and place it in the Soldat\Textures folder.

Chainsaw too powerfull?: we'll see in a week or so, if it will be so easy to kill with it

WHat does the LAW do?

the LAW fires a missile

the LAW gives you flowers and say good bye when you quit soldat...
THE LAW KILLS! (you need to crouch/prone to shoot the missle)

when will the linux port be out?because there no good servers to play on for 1.14

The linux server will be soon, if there will be no bigger problems with ver.1.1.4

Apart from my complaining (which i didn't mean to do really) this game is a big improvement.

Chainsaw: bonus for it is a good idea, and overheating is also good idea.
Spawning without weapons: not a really biggie, but could get annoying.

But everything else is dandy doodle.

i dont think chainsaw needs to bre takin out i just think it needs a long reload time so ppl can just hold the butten down and it never stops!

if somebody is guarding the flag with a chainsaw... i think that's a good time to use your gun.... :)

Sure you can dodge saw in open air, but in small spaces with lots of turns, like tunnels, or maps with little or no jet fuel, like Lagrange, chainsaw owns. The point of a secondary is to be a backup weapon, like the USSOCOM. Not to be the most powerful weapon in the game. If you don't believe me, make a deathmatch, especially in Lagrange (or a map with lots of tunnels), with several bots, including the Boogie Man. These were my results after a few minutes: Boogie Man-69 Blain-34 Billy-27 Admiral-14 As to the defending the flag thing, in Laos, there are colored triangles that hide players. Every time you want to go through the enemy one, you have to stand on the side and shoot in for a while to make sure there are no chain saws. It is extremely hard to capture if you have to hang around base for a while before grabbing flag. I have seen up to 3 saws in 1 triangle before, and sometimes they were hiding in our triangle. If you don't think this makes it hard to play for the rest of us, then either you havn't tried it for long or the other team sucked.

Well for me, it's not so much the power of the saw as it is the fact that it is better in every way than the knife. Maybe it should be that it would take a second of chainsawing to kill an opponent with full health.

chainsaw is fine the way it is, it just a little fun to the game and it is easily dodge as long as you stay in the air or stay far from the chainsawers

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but i cant play it cause my card dont support 3D....... :(

the other players cant' truly "hide" in your triangle (in Laos). You can see them if you know what you're looking for. I have generally found the guys with chainsaws pretty easy to kill. The only thing that I think the chainsaw sucks for is when u have people who insist on spawn killing with it. As far as the map comment goes, you can change your 2nd weapon by pressing tab when you're dead and picking a different one. If the map works well for it, use it.

im finding it hard to play with so much chainsawers around, man make it a powerup or something like flamegod, way to powerful, more powerful than barret omg, but fists are more powerful now thts good but but a lil bit too powerful they more powerful than some guns 3/4 life gone in 2 hits and with berserk its 99% life gone in one hit. hmmm donthink so mate 3 punches wouldnt kill anyone. but chainsawing is way to powerful and its getting hard to avoid em cause of their consistant running into u. U try be good in 1.1.3 and u always run past someone, try be good in 1.1.4 andu dead if u run past em. CHAINSAW HAS TO BE A POWERUP!!!. umm oh yeah parachute...great idea but how u sposed to play if u spawn and u cant fly away from stuff and people have plenty of time to shoot at u... ffs your a slow easy ovin target.

evo, soldat is 2D, not 3D.

The chainsaw should not be an instant kill. Should take a about like 1 second, or 1.5 seconds of holding it over the person.

That way pepole just cant run back and forth.

a good idea would be if u can "catch" somebody with the shainsaw just for a very short period of time and u could see his limbs moving while the chainsaw is in the stomach... and run around with your capture :)))))

LoL

Dont know if that would work w/a chainsaw... mebbe a spear...

Evolution: i thought you cant play soldat because you have dial-up connection. Now you said you have a video card problem?

Also, soldat is not 3d is 2d like m1nt ch3w had said. It just use direct 3d. make sure you have your latest driver updates and the latest direct 3d.

Hey, cool, it's Jsmith, ha ha. The LAW is a delicous little addition that fires out a rocket round. You have to crouch, then fire it. Truth be told, I didn't know what the hell it was at first either. Since it didn't fire standing up, and all the other weapons (besides SOCOM) were close range weapons, I thought it was a battering ram and was trying to run into people with it, ha ha ha. Good times.

LOL @ Jimbo

whahahaha a battering ram

heh i thought it was some sort of police axe or something cause i would do some wierd upward chop when holding down trig and running past people

U can bash some1 to death and/or kick his weapon out of his hands with all your primary weapons when u are close enough.

i dont think you can....

Actually, you can bash somebody to death with all weapons except the knife and the chainsaw (which would be kinda pointless :P). I've tested this on zombies.

Yepp, confirmed.. tested it on the bot "Dummy" that doesn't move :P

really?
cool!

the new soldat has awesome options!

didn't you say it doesn't work for you, Evolution?

Hmmm, after playing for a few days I'd have to say I dont find the chainsaw to be such a bad thing. People just have to learn howto deal with it. [:)] My only problem with the chainsaw is why does it recoil when fired in realistic mode?* If it was gonna recoil shouldnt it be more up and down instead of the usual just up?

The other big thing I've noticed about the new version, and other people seem to agree with me, is that it has a problem with lag spikes. It seems like the game is sending even more data and losing even more (the only server I havent run into this on is DNAGames But thats only one server). These lag spikes become increadibly annoying (for most servers they seem to occure when 5+ people are connected) players freeze, objects such as bullets and grenades dissapear, and antilag disables. Try aiming when you have antilag randomly 50% of the time! Do I lead my shot or not?



*Speaking of that, why do bullets push what they hit harder than they push the person who fires? How does it make sense that a guy with a machinegun can fly forward firing and push others back who fly forward with the same force?

mmmm,yeah.... had it 4 a day... Its very nice , didn't add stationary, im disappointed about that but, overall, it took the rest of the requests down... good work mich

I don't get how you guys thought the LAW was a police axe, etc. Maybe just because I already knew what LAW stands for (Light Anti-tank Weapon). It didn't strike you that it might be some sort of bazooka?

By the way, boogie man's usually just cannon fodder for me. Maybe that's because I play on realistic....?

1.1.4 is maaaaad cool.

they were just joking around. or they are not so intelligent like you muzzmastah

Its all good [^]
The antilag isnt perfect but what is [:D] atleast we got it now!
And remember, if I shoot you do this: [:)][:-bigeyes2][:-bigeyes][:-scared][:-timebm][:-bulb][:-skull]


(Chainsaw: fair in DM ban from CTF!)

Actually, the antilag sucks. Me and a number of other people have found the game much worse and laggier since the new patch has been introduced with the so called antilag system...

Very nice version !
How incredible to use the Law !!!

But I've a problem, my computer boot randomly during the game with this error :
"Unhandle exeption c0000005
At adress 100016b8"

Arrgh !

Vylan, see the bugs forum for possible fixes for this problem. Post there is you still have problems

Oops, sorry ! :p

Barret is still too powerful.
