1.06 Released

Sorry i screwed up, itx fixed now. I guess that what happen when you edit a site right before going to bed Skip steps like acutaly changing the link to the new file

 

dont expect a better spectator mode to come soon masy.

I crashed 12 times today of which 7 were when commanding and selecting things, not any of the other bugs like going out of range or whatever

 

I was in the first 1.06 server and was comming on the one made for aircraft (can't remember the name, its big and has cliffs...) and I crashed. Still don't know what happened to that game...

 

Oh snap a new patch.

 

Keep sending your memory dumps to bugs@empiresmod.com . I've identified two new bugs in the commander mode that have been fixed. I'll release a client only patch within one or two days.

Ahhh, now THIS is the speed a torrent should be at! Thanks for the fixes Krenzo, I really appreciate the work all you guys put into this mod.

 

i literally jumped, danced, and skipped around the house when i read the changelog and saw the riflemen balanced. that was all i was really looking forward to, the rest is just added goodness (execpt the crashes, those are added badness).

 

What is planned to include in the next version? :D

 

Can you explain what you mean?

 

a menu button for steam friends

With menu he means when you start up empiresmod (or press escape during game)

where you have the "Find a server" "create a server" "options" "quit" and stuff, he would also like a "friends" button to open up your steam friends, like all the hl2 games.

 

On that note, an icon on steam to tell people what game we are playing would be nice. It would be cool if my friends could see an empires logo while I play. Maybe clicking on the icon would bring a pop-up "download and play Empires for free now?" That would bring in a fair amount of people, though I know it would likely require a large amount of cooperation from Valve. It's just a thought.

 

Only valve can do that.

 

weapon switching bug

I discovered that the keys: 1,2,3,4, normally used to select and switch weapons and equipment on the move don't work anymore. I rebinded the keys in the options menu but nothing changed. This bug only occured with the 1.06 release. Is there any way to fix this? By the way, I love the new maps slaughtered and mvalley, but not the other one (commanding on that map is insanely difficult). Keep up the good work!

 

perhaps you forgot to enable fast weapon switching
