New beta version released, version 0.788. Download here:

http://www.2k3server...client_beta.zip

Changes:

• Crosshair grow is enabled for the new crosshair. Crosshair grow for all crosshairs is now disabled by default, you can turn it on by using the menu, or type cg_drawCrosshairGrow 1.
• Demos.exe edited: you can now playback demos using the program. SoF2 will exit after the demo has completed (note: for the automatic quit, you have to use the latest RPM pk3).
• Demos.exe edited: duplicate filename problem fixed. If a duplicate demo name is about to be fixed, while a similar _df file exists, the _df file is prefixed with 1_, 2_, etc. The original file which may be present in demos/originals is not renamed and is lost.
• Demos.exe edited: credits were added

@ Baris: please let me know if your demo problem is fixed in the new version of Demos.exe.
@ DevaZ: please let me know if you like the change regarding crosshair grow.
@ GodOrDevil: please check out the credits and demo playback, and let me know if you like these changes.
@ Everyone: if you have suggestions or bug reports regarding the client side, please report quickly, since the final version will be released soon.

Everything looks good on the demo utility. Playback works well. Gj

Works alright now. Apart from the fact that the "old original" demo-file still gets replaced by the "new original".
The demo0000 gets fixed and when there is already a demo0000_df file there. And 2_ is placed in front. After this is done the demo0000 is moved into the originals folder and overwrites the previous demo0000 still.

All we care about is the fixed demo anyway. So the important feature works good. But I'm just saying .

And I love the fact that the new crosshair is centered perfectly. But personally I find it too big, and I'd like to be able to move it in the Y-direction.

Thanks for your response Baris.

Since the demo overwrite should happen rarely, I've not bothered to backup the original file. Glad that it works properly though.

As for the crosshair size, the minimum size should be extremely small since it's just 4 pixels. Try to adjust the size through the menu and use the Very small option (or cg_crosshairSize 5). If it's still too large, can you post a screenshot?

[BariS]

Well the cg_crosshairSize doesn't really change the cg_drawcrosshair 5 or am I wrong?

My actual crosshair:
 shot0117.jpg   169.29KB   70 downloads

Your adjusted crosshair:
 shot0118.jpg   169.57KB   70 downloads

Also the the combination of letters "ner" shows . For example, when I type "partner" I get part.

The size of the crosshair changes for each 5 units (cg_crosshairSize 5, cg_crosshairSize 10, ...). You can also use the Settings menu for this. Does the size of the crosshair change when you use the menu? Either way, your crosshair seems really small to me, looks like 4 pixels to me, so it seems like it's correct. If it's still too large for you, you can try to reduce the gamma (4th number in cg_crosshairRGBA).

I don't get any smiley when I type "ner". That's really odd. Do you get the same smiley if you type 8-|? Could you type the "smileys" command and make a screenshot?

[BariS]

/smileys in console gives me:
 shot0122.jpg   287.09KB   18 downloads

I have to add that I have 2 RPM.pk3 in my RPM folder:
RPM 078 client.pk3
RPM_0788_client_beta.pk3

This because we still need 078 for access to some pure servers.
When I also had the RPM 0.784 client.pk3 in my folder in addition. I did not have any smileys at all. So having more than 1 RPM in your folder might be the cause :S? Haven't check though.

[max]

Yes, that is in fact the cause. The smilies are loaded from the gfx/smilies folder (all .png files), the name of the .png file determines the characters for the smiley. I've made it this way, so that smilies are easy to add, and custom smiley packs can be created. In your screenshot, the smileys ANG until WHA are the smileys added by RPM 0.78. I guess I should use a different folder name for the smileys in the new RPM in order to avoid this problem.

[bia-tch]

u for reall, just deleted 078 and replaced the newest beta for it :/

[BariS]

Well it doesn't really matter I think biatch. The only PURE server that I know of on sof2 is oM. And I could send it to you if you really want it. Sooner or later everyone will eventually update to the latest version though.

[max]

You'd better wait with changing the Pure version until the final version is released. At that point, we'll just disable all the beta's for FP, so that everyone will download the latest version. We could even disable 0.78, though I don't think that's necessary.

Since there are no real suggestions anymore, I think the final version can be released soon. Though I think more people should test the automatic recording in competition mode. I'll update all our servers to the latest RPM 2k3 version soon, to enable autorecord on those servers.

i like this beta mod nice job!

[Doge]

3rd crosshair would be also good... coz people still draw a dot on their screen or put a scotch on the screen as a crosshair to aim in 3rd person AND nobody can see that.
That's unfair... and it should be made fair for everyone by putting a 3rd crosshair for everyone.

just an advice.

[taurine]

lol

[l'ANGELINOOO `]

Just give them aimbot instead, best way.

There is in fact a 3rd crosshair in the mod, but only if the server allows it. You can enable it on your server by using g_allowThirdCross 1.

[Janno]

Third crosshair would be unfair in my opinion. Then those thirders even have more advantage over 1sters.

By the way Max, baris was talking about enabling crosshairY on the new crosshair. Can you make that happen? Cause I also play with a different crosshairY position and it would really be nice if that is do able on the centered crosshair you made.

Sure it can be enabled. But the point of the crosshair is that it's perfectly centered, so I'm reluctant to enable it. I guess I don't really care anyway, so I'll enable it in the next version.
