beta 0.99

The 6th weapon (and the 2nd machine gun): M-249 :biggthumbsup:

Warning: if you play with someone using the older version, you may expect browser crashes.
Reason: a new weapon is broadcasted and the older version does not understand what's going on.
It's expecting a sword, javelin or a bow.

More corrections in beta 1.01:

1) Names and Colors in Team Deatmatch
Your team members are listed with (light) blue, the opponents are listed with (light) red.

2) In Free Teams and Team Deathmatch you start with the following amount of ammo:
- pistol: 100
- shotgun: 100
- G-3 machine gun: 200
- sniper: 60
- RPG-7 rockets: 36
- M-249 machine gun: 200

3) Free Teams can be accessed by registered players only.
Reason: the score is automatically saved (at 50 frags) and no one wants to see "player" on the table.
Of course, all the beta-testers are registered players.

Yes Tanweer,

The current one is a highly optimized infinite loop soundtrack (250KB only) composed by ...
the undead creature. :mrgreen:
More soundtracks (and a music selector) in the future updates.
In fact, this is a part of the game sound engine (it's not a simple melody).
We can have different soundtracks for various objectives on the map (warehouse, castle, high scores table, etc)

I thought about that (in-game selector instead of main menu selector).
Very cool.
In Hopeless 1 there is an in-game slot machine! :twisted:
But I have to study the extra processing power required for that MusicBox.
The players don't want lower frame rate because of a MusicBox.
:wink:

A few corrections plus the map name is saved with the final score.

beta 1.24
More corrections for the Team modes:
1) 100 frags limit for 4_vs_4 Free Teams, 50 frags limit for anything above 2_vs_2 Free Teams.
In case of Team Deatmatch, the frag limits are the same:
- 20 frags for 1_vs_1
- 30 frags for 2_vs_2
- 40 frags for the rest
2) after the match is done you don't have to leave the camp anymore.
The scoreboard is automatically reset after 5 seconds.
You can start a new match after 10 seconds.

beta 1.25

As I promissed: the VOTE mechanism!
Now you can kick out the players with bad attitude or horrible connection.
He must be voted 3 times by 3 different players.

Example:
supreme, Timberwolf and Scrappitt want to punish Terminator.
They must send this command line:
> Terminator out
After that, Terminator is kicked out of the camp.

Come on Milan ... an intelligent folk like you to ask such stupid question. :mrgreen:
There is a HUGE difference between an ordinary text line and a command line.
An ordinary text line does not mean anything.
A command line launches the words processor.
Because the same chat environment is used for both of them, you must inform the word processor
that you'll send a command.

Milan out does not mean anything.
> Milan out means "I send a command: username=Milan action=out"

My friend, as I said before, I'm not a genius for computers, this game is my first online game, I have never before played something like this, I have never had a chat inside the game, thanks to Kiren and other I have learned lot of things, like bcz = because, v = very, u = you, r = are... thanks to you now i know what "good pc" has to have (what kind of graphic card, procesor...)..... but guided by the logic, I assumed that right arrow has to be there, but for each case to ask... :mrgreen:

For about 24 hours, necromanthus.com is under siege (over 350 new accounts).
I had to update beta 1.30 to use infdat.com as default game server.
To all those with previous beta 1.30: please select infdat.com as default game server.

Starting from today, to access Free Teams you need more than 100 frags.
That's because I got complaints about too many newbies in Free Teams.
They don't understand what's going on, they kill their team mates and they ruin the match.
:mrgreen:
p.s.
We had a HUGE Free Teams activity in the past week.

beta 1.32

I'm still working on the next major update.
I had to change (again) the network protocol.
Improved watchdog, several fixes, plus another correction:
- if you kill yourself with a rocket in Free For All, you lose a frag (nothing changed).
- if you kill yourself with a rocket in any Team mode, you don't lose any frag.
But the opponent team will be credited with 1 frag.
:twisted:

note: thanks to the new network protocol, starting with the next update
the players with registered team will be able to see in the camps selector
the name of the players in each active camp.
:P

important note: v1.32 is NOT compatible with the previous v1.31 !!!
In case of players with different version in the same camp, you may expect abnormal behaviours and possible browser crashes.
