SOLDAT 2 UPDATE 0.7.17

Hi guys!
After about 2 weeks of a long needed break (+a week of working on this) I'm back with another update. As mentioned on Discord, I will be fairly regular with these updates. Either once a week with small changes or bi-weekly with a bit larger updates like this patch.


The most voted suggestion on Discord is done. A kill log similar in style to the CS:GO kill log. I hope it's useful!


I'm constantly improving ctf_strike. I hope these changes are good. Please let me know!

There's a bunch of weapon balancing done thanks to iMPUcz. They are aimed at longer lasting fights. Most notable should be less bullet push.

And last but not least I fixed an issue causing the infamous respawn bug and hit registration for knife and nade should be significantly improved!



Changelog:
0.7.16 - 0.7.17
+ added killlog
+ improved nade/knife hit registration
+ removed weapon menu dissapearing with move keys
+ added spawn armor glow indicator
+ fixed clones spawning issue
+ knife can go through obstacles
+ fixed knife stick angle
+ ctf_strike layout changed - flag and spawns moved
+ weapon balance for longer lasting fights and less bullet push (thx to iMPUcz)
+ Spas now has point blank enabled
+ MP5 has a larger clip
+ Dragunov RoF reduced
+ chainsaw damage increased
+ fixed MovementSpray (and added to dragunov, flak, barrett)
+ added kill info to console log

How do you like these changes?

Have fun!
MM

SOLDAT 2 UPDATE 0.7.14

Soldaters,

The maps added in the previous patch turned out to serve better as DM maps so they are now called dm_regain and dm_corazon. But I made entirely new CTF maps, check them out!

ctf_strike - I wanted to make something that would be similar in structure to Ash. It turned out somewhat different. Let's see how this plays? Comments are appreciated.



ctf_magpie - A very fluid map design with an unusual flag placement



I spent a lot of time fixing bot pathing and making the bots generally do more stuff like rolling. Overall pathing should be better and faster.



Knife is less bouncy like in Soldat 1 (also nade)



I hope you like the changes. Please remember everything is temporary and if something doesn't work I'll switch back to how it was or improve again.

So please tell me how do you like the new changes? :)


Changelog:
0.7.12- 0.7.14
+ added maps ctf_strike, ctf_magpie
+ replaced ctf maps with dm version: dm_corazon, dm_regain
+ removed knife bouncing
+ nades less bouncy
+ rheinmetall, tec-9, kalash and minigun tweaks (iMPUcz/Numerite suggestions)
+ fixed cobra and generic lower terrain view obstructed
+ smoother camera zoom in/outs
+ less zoom out on spectator
+ lowered laos texture quality
+ fixed medkits on top of map
+ fixed potential respawn issue
+ fixed bots issues with getting stuck
+ fixed bots not using jets where appropriate
+ fixed some dumb bot pathing
+ fixed bots not crouching in low areas
+ bots now roll around
+ faster waypoint generation on map load
+ more optimized waypoint generation
+ fixed kill leaderboards issue

What should I work on next?

Have fun!
MM

SOLDAT 2 UPDATE 0.7.12

Hi guys!

I'm happy to show you the fruit of my latests work: 2 new CTF maps and a new CTB map.

ctf_regain - a very small map ideal for 3v3


ctb_gen_generic - a new generated CTB map based on a placeholder scene (will be improved)


ctf_corazon - another 3v3 map


How do you like those maps?

Also, the grenade has a greater gravity pull and more dynamic arc - it's a lot more like Soldat 1 but a bit faster with more dynamism. This change should make it even more fun.



Important addition for server owners: WebRcon!
Please check changelog.txt for details.

Changelog:
0.7.9 - 0.7.12
+ added maps ctf_regain, ctf_corazon, ctb_gen_generic
+ nade - more speed and more arc (s1-like)
+ knife a bit more speed
+ explosion stun only if damage > 0.5
+ fixed bots not shooting barrett
+ zoom in on death
+ added generic map scene (as placeholder)
+ ctf_division and dm_jumpkick use generic level
+ improved basecamp ceiling collider for bots
+ weekly top changed to all-time
+ added url for join (s2://[ip]:[port])
+ [server] added commands: setteam, listplayers
+ [server] added webrcon support (http://www.webrcon.com)
+ [editor] fixed objects with non zero wont snap to 0


How do you like these changes? :)

Have fun!
MM

Soldaters!

I made a tutorial for the Level Editor, check it out:


Please be aware the editor is still in alpha stage and fairly buggy, but you can easily make a map if you follow the tutorial.

If you make something please share on Discord.


And remember to have fun!
MM

SOLDAT 2 UPDATE 0.7.7 - 0.79

Hola!
Due to popular demand I made the chat messages show up above the player just like in the old Soldat.


Made an entirely new dm_katang (replaces the old one). This one should allow for some neat flow based movements.

Also various fixes including spawning into spectator and added a better effect for flag capture!

Changelog:

+ added new dm_katang
+ added above player chat texts
+ added self-explosion stuns (larger boosting velocity)
+ fixed respawn to spectator
+ better flag score effect
+ ctf/ctb matches time increased 8->10 mins
+ fixed not able to shoot after nade explodes in hands
+ spawn armor removes after player moves or shoots
+ added HUD notifier texts to console
+ fixed map editor crash on load map

+ [server] fixed incremental patches not working


Enjoy :)
And remember to have fun!

- made it larger
- moved flags display to the top center
- moved time status to top center
