speriamo ci riescano stavolta

btw Ulteriori modifiche nella prossima versione del TTM


Seems like V1 (public release version 1) is going pretty nice. 6000+ downloads so far, 150+ dedicated servers online.

Right now we're working on next version (that would be V2). Maybe there'll be an interim version 1.1, fixing bugs of v1, but that isn't yet decided, since there're not critical bugs in v1.

So what are we going to put in V2? Here's some list of planned features. It's not complete or 'frozen', so we might add something to this list (or perhaps remove). Anyway, it might give you an idea about what v2 will be about.

• *WARM-UP*, it's configuration and voting for it
• Votable option: Restart current map (enabled/disabled by 'allow votings on map' server-side option)
• Allow people bind in-game menu to a key, other than F7 (player-side setting; TTM tries to bind 'menu' to F7 only if it isn't already binded to something else)
• Votable option: Kick player (enabled/disabled by 'allow votings on kick player' server-side option)
• Main menu item: 'Admin login' (tine window for entering admin password)
• Player-side option: clock counting direction (same as in scoreboard, always up, always down). 'Same as in scoreboard' by default
• Player-side option: enable 2d-icons for ammo and weapons
• Player-side option: don't use brightskins (so server-side setting _enables_ brightskins, not _forces_ everyone to use it)
• Make 'server-side options' window appear in 'Configure mutator'
• Make 'Call vote for map' window show only maps that server have
• Server-side and votable option: UT1-style translocator. Trans has infinite charges and angle of fire (trajectory) like it was in UT1. Disabled by default, votable, votings can be disabled
• Player-side (or server-side???) option 'Force after-game screenshot'
• r_picmip-like option (enabled by server-side option, disabled by default)
• Advanced crosshairs
• After-game stats for both teams, including scores and deaths for both teams, net-score (frags-deaths in DM/TD), efficiency (frags / [frags + deaths])
• After-game personal weapon stats, including accuracy and efficiency for all weapons
• Votable option: Server-side option 'Forbid centerview' (for those who don't like to get headshots from centerviewers). Disabled by default, server-side option, votable
• Muting of spectators
• Password for spectators
• Time-outs: timeouts called by teams (configurable limit of max timeouts per match one team can take; configurable time of time-out)
• Time-outs: unlimited number of votable timeouts (voting can be disabled by server admin)
• Time-outs: auto time-out if player get disconnected
• Voting for gametype
• Server-settings 'profiles', that is possibility for admin to set all needed settings under one profile-name and then set by that name
• Votings for server 'profiles': if voting passes server is being configured as it's said in profile description

2 ottime notizie

[Dragon2002]

Domanda numero uno: Ma perchè perdono tempo a modificare i menu del gioco perfetti e il gameplay e nn si mettono a lavorare sulla fluidita che è il vero punto debole del gioco?
Domanda numero due: Questa patch abbinata ai nuovi driver della sound blaster permettono di attivare l'accelerazione hardware e quindi mettono il peso dell'audio sulla mia costossima audigy e fanno aumentare anche di un pelino i fs rispetto alla modalita software?????????????

Risposta numero uno: Modificare un menù occupa l'1% dell'intero lavoro di una patch. Diciamo che lo fanno nelle pause lavoro Comunque, scherzi a parte, ci stanno lavorando sul gameplay.

Risposta numero due:Appena la rilasciano e la proviamo sapremo la verità, ora è impossibile riscontrarlo
