We need to get some heavy-duty testing going with our current state of development.
The new weapon-balance and -code has to be observed under near-to realistic conditions - meaning more than two to four developers only ;-)
* Mac Installer [MD5: ff22e00b5fe9524395d1ec4699d3c117] - 51 MB
* Windows ZIP [MD5: db7755b22b42a336074e5e2f59f53d0d] - 50.21 MB
* Linux Binaries in tar.bz2 [MD5: d0b11c167666423de83e7299a797822c] - 1.89 MB
For Mac there's the usual full-installer, for Windows & Linux just get the ZIP, unpack it and play from there (don't overwrite an old installation or anything!). If you can't manage to make the linux binaries executable from the ZIP (hint: chmod +x) there's also a tar.bz2 of just the linux binaries, which is better than the ZIP for you, since it keeps the executable bit intact - so just get that too and overwrite the files from the ZIP with it.
There are a number of SVN servers already running, so you can test-play when you like, but also feel free to test out hosting your own servers with the binaries provided.
The weekend will be the time I guess most testing will occur, it will also be the end of the beta-testing phase (unless it needs to be extended). After that we will continue with some more minor adjustments - assuming no bug-fixing is required (haha, as if) - and should then be ready to release in the near future.
Please leave your comments to this beta-test here; especially bug-reports should try to contain as much information as possible so we can reproduce the bug, find the cause and fix it. Thank you, in advance, to all who help contribute to improve the game for all players!
