RC 9 Patch In Here -> LOOK <-

So you thought you were man (or woman) enough for RC 8?! You haven't seen anything yet! RC 9 will blow your mismatched color socks off! RC 7 is required!! If you installed RC8 over RC7, then you're still good. If you only installed RC8, your computer will kill you. Download the patch and install to your regular 1.08 directory.

-------------------------
Version 1.08 Beta Build 123/RC 9 Changes:

-Maps: updated emp_glycencity to reduce overall brightness
-Added: spectators can now see all players, vehicles, and buildings on the minimap
-Added: "emp_sv_turret_search_interval" (default 0.5) convar to set how much time each turret must wait before searching for a new target
-Added: spectators can now see the number of reinforcements remaining
-Added: scout receives a point for sabotaging five buildings
-Added: minimap maintains separate zoom levels for full and reduced map sizes
-Fixed: "spray logo" command on the controls menu was not binding the correct command to the key
-Fixed: engineer build kit not regenerating in the commander interface
-Fixed: level 3 MG turrets could not keep their targets locked
-Fixed: spectating an engineer will draw the health bars in the correct color (green or red) instead of always red
-Fixed: spectating an engineer in a vehicle will not show the engineer kit HUD information
-Fixed: players with the health upgrade skill would have their health bar as seen on the engineer kit's HUD extend past the border
-Fixed: player voted as commander wasn't reporting his position as being in the command vehicle which prevented him from placing buildings nearby until getting out and back in
-Fixed: ending a map as commander would leave you stuck in the commander interface in the next level without being able to do anything
-Fixed: client-side vehicle turret acting twitchy
-Fixed: as commander, unit order buttons would not update when recalling a # group
-Fixed: when entering a vehicle, the player's view would not be set to the position the turret was in
-Fixed: artillery vehicle turret appearing as backwards to the player who built it when first built
-Fixed: large buildings (vehicle factories especially) weren't receiving full damage from explosive weapons
-Fixed: scout rifle scope appearing as opaque on DX6/7 cards
-Fixed: engineer would not get points for destroying an enemy building with the engineer kit
-Fixed: choosing a skill gained from joining a squad and then leaving that squad would prevent you from changing your class, weapons, or skills
-Fixed: unicode characters were not being printed correctly in the top left HUD area which printed the name of the commander
-Fixed: line linking player orders from the player to the order location was not using the player's correct location when in a vehicle
-Fixed: Brenodi repair pad crane texture not being transparent in black areas
-Modified: added small time delay from when "emp_unstuck" command is given to when the player is actually moved to prevent player from avoiding being run over by vehicles
-Modified: moved the location of the name of the person being spectated so that it's not overlapped by the vehicle heat bar
-Modified: altered NF Vehicle Factory so that sabotage smoke comes from the top of the building vice from inside
-Modified: lowered the 'emp_sv_spawn_protection' default to 3 seconds (was 6 seconds)

 

KRENZO FOR 3!!! swish* OH HES ON FIRE

 

HUrray! Can't wait to play

 

sweeeeeet.

 

Yeah he came an announced this as we were finishing off a pretty epic game.

 

Hell yes.

 

so how long til servers back up?

 

nice work Krenzo,
are there any other sources ? my download speed is dropping badly

 

yay, see you on the server :-)

... once its up :-)

 

yay! working vehicle turrets this time maybe =D

Was hoping the weapons would be changed but I guess that can wait

 

Got it on the DL as we speak, 3 second respawn vs/ 6? Thats Phantastic.

 

no squad bug fix? = [

 

Question: Do you need RC8 installed for this as in you need to patch from RC7 to RC8 to RC9 or can you patch straight from RC7?

 

I can't reproduce anymore squad bugs. The only ones I could reproduce are fixed. You'll have to tell me how to reproduce them if you want them fixed.

 

server is up yay!

 

Yaaaay

Now I, too, can snipe.

 

I have 1 guess for the squad thing. On map change it still thinks your in a squad for the c menu and won't let you get in another. Simmilar to the commander thing or something. I never seem to get it on my first game I play. I'll try leaving a squad before map change to test more.

 

Glad hving been able to help fix some bugs
hopefully there aren't (m)any left for me to find

 

WOOO
