Finaly i can kill through floors again . I like the new version number more then the old 2.0.1 one.
I have been using the client for quite some while now and its working very well. The server part was being tested on the RBI servers so i really hope noone finds more bugs today

[morfar]

Great, I havn't notice any bugs yet.

Mmm was it my tired brain (uhm... what's left of it) or is the game running a little better, too? It seems fine so far, I think I'll get to really test it in the next couple of days, see you on the servers.

Mmm lots of nice stuff in the change list.

Sweetness!

FEATURE: when maps/mapname.sizes exists, the map is only chosen when there are at least (first line) and at most (second line) players

I can't remember any changes that would make the engine faster. Actually i would expect a VERY VERY slight drop in FPS as some compiler settings had to be toned down in order to compile with gcc 4.1. LordHavoc reported a resulting drop of 0.3% in fps.. so in case you had 1000 fps you would now only have 997

In that case it seems I was plain tired . I like the name display, too.

Yeah now you know whom to blame. Just point your crosshair at him. Some people really do stupid things in CTF..

I read a first complain about the disconnect during mapdownload. You can no longer chat with the people already playing this way but have to wait to reconnect

Oh noes!!! No big loss really if it's for stability.

Yes, that disconnect isn't the perfect solution and LordHavoc does plan to change it to something which is more integrated in the protocol. But not in the near future. Maybe for 3.0 or whatever...

And... people complain either way. Either about the disconnect, or about the black screen...
