New version, 0.61b1

[Fnordia]

This is mostly a bugfix release, and fixes various crash problems and annoyances. It also adds one major new thing, which is the new lobby created by Betalord. It is a complete rewrite of both the client and the server, and should eliminate many of the problems of the old lobby. This also means that .NET is no longer required to run the lobby client. The downside is that you will need new accounts yet again, which can be created from inside the client. Hopefully you will agree that it is worth the trouble though. For other changes, you can look at the changelog which can be found here.

If you have installed version 0.60b1 already, you only need to download the updating installer. To upgrade any other version or to do a fresh install you will need the regular installer.

Nice, let`s see if the game runs better.

Great work!

Yeah, sorry about the FU thing, Fnordia... Storm's working on implementing a basic user system (mainly for commenting), and then mysql puked all over everything... so yeah, we'll get it mirrored asap.

Greetingz, Monk.

Well I guess it would be good, if I could log onto the server...

I managed to log on once, but then had to log off. I have not been able to log back on since. I have tried shutting down the client and everything, but nothing works. Here is the error thing:

[5:50:36 PM] Connecting to taspringmaster.clan-sy.com ...
[5:50:36 PM] Connection established to taspringmaster.clan-sy.com
[5:51:07 PM] Connection to server closed!
[5:51:07 PM] Error: Must be connected to send data!

Its not my Username/password, as I have not changed them since last time I logged on (and yes, I made an account). I dunno what the problem is, so any help would be greatly apreciated.

[Fnordia]

Make sure you have not changed the End-of-line setting on the first option screen. It should be set to Unix, and not Windows.

Edit: Ah, was already covered in another thread. :)

Am I the only one to wich spawn doesen't works?
If I put the file outside the sdz and in the root folder it works, however.

wow, just 5 mins ago, my whole pc crashed... and my buddy`s as well. (while we were playing TA ofcourse)

When i got back to the Battleroom, everyone was gone...
Major server crash?

Hope it was just a one time thingy....


(sorry for my bad english...)

Fnordia, there was a dude, aratar, with a nasty bug of having his comm explode everytime he played, after a few seconds in game (so he said...). He said it was caused by some file he had left in the Spring folder.

I'm wondering if installing the full version on top of the old 0.60 does no harm, having some file that is no longer used and, so, the installer not replacing it with a newer one...

I noticed that the installer had removed/replaced those extra map files from the maps folder, even thought it was the full installer, so i would assume that that was thought of!?

[mongus]

aratar has that problem since the 60b1, so its not new.
... its funny, what could possibly happen to him?

[Noruas]

I can now connect through the firewall, and router, so now ill get to be owned because i never played anyone in xta lol

[NOiZE]

Maybe he acidentaly(spelling?) presses the D after while doing ctrl-C.
