I think one awsome feature would be the ability to freely roam around during replays, instead of focusing your view on just the player who recorded it, and using Co-Op Spy on other players, why not allow free roaming to you can follow players and go your own path w/o Co-Op spying on them.

I just noticed that when you replay 1.07rc1 and 1.06 CTF demos, it doesnt set the OldSchool CTF format on it Confused

Maybe if you could use a command line parameter to change it...

Also, If you enabled your access to RCON using a password in Client/Server mode, you should be able to go into Gameplay options and edit the values instead of them being locked.

I thin RC2 has many bugs...here is some I found...

Turning Autoswitching OFF does not work. I hate how the Health is larger now than normal...you should add an option to decrease it. I could name more but it would probably be some time.

OH! and an big question...if I use a Red or Blue partical fountain for decoration will it not count as a team start?

I do believe you can use blue/red particle fountains now.

Thanks for the bug report (one of the few that are truly new bugs). Just fixed it. No need for the any cmd. line param or anything; if the demo version is less than 1.07 it will automatically turn on the CTF compatibility DMFLAG (since that was the only possible scenario before 1.07). Nice and clean.

I disagree there. It will take quite a bit of special code to do all that and I don't see how it's worth it. Please try the following commands:
  • rcon_password XXXXX
  • rcon dmflags NNNN
  • rcon map mapNN
It might not be as convenient as you'd like, but (1) it works, (2) it's not that tough and (3) how often do you plan on changing server dmflags while the server is running anyway?

This is like going up to someone in game, say "you suck" and then not explaining why. Either tell us your exact problems, or don't be surprised about the treatment of unsupported claims.

About turning autoswitching off: if you bothered to read the history file, you would see that "neverswitchonpickup" is replaced by something else. I'm not going to duplicate the info here; if you care about the changes, go ahead and read it. You even have a visual way of doing it now for God's sake.

BTW, if you're trying to use neverswitch on an OS server, then good luck: that was intentionally disabled since some people want to play without it (and again that info is in the history file).

About how health is larger now: I don't know what you're talking about. Please explain.

Correct, as long as the CTF compatibility DMFLAG is OFF. If you do that of course, you'll have to use the new standard for the flags and teamstarts.

I dont use rcon dmflags NNNNNN, I use sv_XXXX true/false. Which in turn I have to get the server's CVAR list. Which I like RC2 how it gets a response from the server.

I set pickup_switch_method=1 and no matter what when I go over a weapon it switches...this is what I mean by it not working.

Also this has not been listed anywhere...can you possibly explain to me how the nutral flag is going to work...also there is going to be 4 team ctf in addition the nutral flag correct?

heh.. simple. It is not going to work Wink 1.07 introduces 3 and 4 way CTF: not 1-flag CTF. 1-flag CTF is in the plans but not for 1.07. The only reason you saw the neutral flag in the project-x wad was because I was doing some preparations to facilitate the 1-flag CTF mode (when it will be done) and alexmax included that flag in the map. If you try the same server right now (with rc2), you'll see that the neutral flag has disappeared (as it should: it has no place in regular CTF).

about the health being bigger..
I think he means the health icon and the ammo icon size.

IMHO, unless something is a bug, it should not be fixed after an RC. Remember, RC's are used mainly to weed out bugs, not to test out new features. Betas are for new features.

OK! My internet was down over the weekend and I found a bug...well it will not be in 1.07 by the looks that it is released.

If you turn CTF compatability Mode on it gets rid of the partical fountains...making the positions not visible. In the old versions it displayed them and I think it looks cool with them there.

Please tell us exactly the nature of the problem. In what mode? client/server or SP? client problem or server problem? in CTF mode, DM mode, coop? What do you see exactly that is worse than it used to be?

You'd probably be better off just using Wine. All the Linux clients I've ever used have been broken in some way.
