If you've got a question about the new version just ask here.

The dedicated server for linux will be available soon, please be patient.
Also available is now the new Soldat Map Maker 1.2. It has some bug fixes and the option to add stationary guns.

The lobby server might not work now, sorry about that, it's some connection problems, hope it will be fixed soon. You can always use ASE.

Have fun now!

Dude, servers can turn the stationary guns off. Some will do that. I just suggest that there should be a slot on the lobby server that says "Stationary Guns" and if they are in that server, it says "Yes".

Kampf looks ALMOST the same as before, and it was fun. I dun see the big deal...:/

July 13, 2003, 7:12 pm
i dont know what that comment means superkill. Anyway, my opinion on this. I like the mgs, they're pretty cool, but they do need some minor additions. firstly, a reload time and finite ammo. Second, as a guy said, maybe abit more spray. Still, i like the mgs, and i like that mostly there are routes around them in maps, and that they're only on certain maps.

I think it only triggers the protection when the file isn't the same dimensions as the original, so you can still use mods. I think. Just not ones with bigger guns.

stationary guns must overheat that would be cool like in bf 1942

July 14, 2003, 3:37 am
3 things.

1-The stationaries guns sucks (infinite ammo and toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo powerfull)

2- The deathmatch maps now sucks, they are really better in the 1.1.4. There is no way we can run without hit a fuc**** polygon. (kinda weird to explain properly)

3- I respawn 3 times on 4 with no primary gun, this is so frustrating.

P.S. I like the reload time of law and the power of the chainsaw now. :)

that bug should be fixed.

-Phil-
July 14, 2003, 4:44 am
Eh.. its alright.. I guess, but its really stupid in some ways:

1) MGs, okay I guess.. should have to reload at least.. If they are downgraded would also like to see them in more ctf maps.. B2B especially.

2) Knive throwing: Sweet!!

3) No mods? Stupid.

4) Fix to various cheats/bugs? *thumbs up*

5) The new DM map needs some work, I noticed a few jagged polys that just block you.

6) Can't fire LAW while laying down?!!? I know this was part of fixing the bug, but no more laying down in a bush and blowing away the enemy that comes for our flag..
Think it would be better if you just made it to where you couldnt lay down while in mid-air.

7) Everything else: Great so far! Just wish some of the ol' servers would catch up to speed and upgrade already!!!

~Phil

Edit: I noticed something about a modified jetpack? Whats so modified about it? I noticed it now stands me up and uses the jetpack when I'm crouching, and while prone it sort of.. just pushes you forward, but I'm not sure if those are new or not..

S guns are cool. They DO overheat in time, if you try firing one non-stop with no enemies on the map then you'll see what happens.

Krab is a nice map, but the occasional bit looks rushed.

And I really like the new ctf_Voland...:).

Throwing knife.....well done...very very coolies.

New parachute options I like too.

how long you have to fire it until its overheat?

-Phil-
July 14, 2003, 5:26 pm
Superkill, how would it overpower it if it was downraded by a whole lot? Go read this post, Tha Doggfather has a great idea about how to restrict its power, and I posted at the bottom of a pretty good one (IMO) too.

http://archive.forums.soldat.pl/topic.php?topic_id=5549

~Phil

Edit: forgot to add: Yea, the DM map is fine as is, but the jagged polys just make the map look less professional. Glad that it will bbe fixed next patch.
What I mean by the no mods thing, is that you can't have weapons that have different dimensions. Unless I totally misunderstood, some of the better mods are out-of-order now, due to a weapon maybe a few pixels bigger.

Gah! Edit 2: forgot to say this as well. I hope you don't mean that the "overheating" is how the gun pushes you back when you fire it for too long, because I fire for awhile on kamph and all that happened was I got pushed back away from the gun.
If this is what you mean, then all you have to do is run foward a few steps. So I really wouldn't call it overheating at all.

July 17, 2003, 6:00 pm
I like everything that was added to the new version. The stationary guns work much better then I thought they would, and I think they add a lot to the game. I don't find them overpowered at all -- one guy with a (portible) minigun can leap up and knock a stationary gunner out of position in an instant if they have to. The people who keep whining just have to change their strategies slightly... You can't use the Barret or whatever your weapon of choice is for everything, you know.

The changes to the LAW and chainsaw are good and were badly needed (and the LAW change primarily fixes a bug anyway), and throwing knives are fun even if I don't use them. Having CTF_Kampf back is great, too -- it was always one of my favorate maps, and I actually like it a lot more with all the stationary guns. I just hope that CTF_Death comes back in some form sometime, too. It was wierd and cramped, but it was nice to have it there for a change of pace. It would certinally be interesting if you put a minigun at the very bottom.

I think Michal has a better idea of what is good for Soldat then anyone on the forum, so despite all the stupid requests for changes and rollbacks that everyone is making now, I'm not worried anymore -- I'm sure he'll keep Soldat's gameplay good whatever he decides to do.

a small question... how do you reload a gun without mag? MG´s got no mag this far... what about... u can only use MG´s if u have no weapon drawn and/or mount the MG on a prone click or sumthing?

its hard to make a gun without mag have reload... also bullets should be less powerfull and less accurate

and last thing.. i will continue playing soldat in instead of being a roadblock like superkill[^] try to follow the stream and learn new tactics for the added things

new modes like muti team bow 4 bows on the ground and each team has to find there bows fast b4 the othe team gets them or it can be like one dude each team gets a bow randomly and become the leader.also another good mode a bow for each dude that way everyone get to be rambo.

last mode eh?um......gotta think ..a mode that u collect certain kinds of bots like a gang type thing but its not a team mode you controle your dudes with commands example like stay,attack ,move around ,attack at will attack wean attacked or hold fire,or bot name go attack like that and more

buddy list whould be great too.it whould say what game there at or if you wanna chat real quick.

also a ingame white board that only your team can see
showing attack plans were to go it whould realy come in handy for poeple who like to use stedgy in soldat instead of useing camping all the time

Hey, one of those ideas (when modified) might atually be quite fun...

The bot gang idea...

You collect one, and you get a bot following you around. But you can't give the bot commands, it will just follow you, and run around a bit and shoot stuff =)
