AssaultCube v1.1 Release

[flowtron]

We've now released packages for AssaultCube v1.1 on sf.net;
get them from our release files page.

I want to take a moment to thank all the contributors and beta-testers for their time & effort:
Without you this release wouldn't have been possible, the project-reboot couldn't have gone much smoother - I'm very grateful for all the patience and understanding you've all brought to the situation. We owe you all a debt of gratitude. Three cheers for the volunteers!
Hip-Hip Hurray, Hip-Hip Hurray, Hip-Hip Hurray!

There might be a problem for Linux gamers with this package - see below for a work-around.
To check for the validity of your download, use MD5 or SHA1 checksums.

Regarding the mentioned work-around, if your linux box provides /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.8, you will experience a crash when starting AssaultCube. We're very sorry for this and that you'll have to use BMP screenshot format, for now, but we promise it will all become better once we dump JPG entirely and use the much more sensible PNG format!

Code:

1) soft-link the v8 library as v6.2 - do this inside your installation folder
ln -s /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.8 ./libjpeg.so.62

2) make AC use that library - put this in your assaultcube.sh
(on the line directly below CUBE_DIR assignment)
CUBE_DIR=$(dirname $(readlink -f "${0}"))
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CUBE_DIR

3) make AC _not_ use JPG as image format - put this into your config/autoexec.cfg
screenshottype 0

A couple of small glitches have crept into our CubeScript/Menus too - these were community provided modifications that appear not to have been properly tested and/or double-checked - again my sincere apologies. The only thing you really need to change though - and only if you want to select a different crosshair by menu - is line 423 in config/menus_settings.cfg to look like this (means: remove one erronous space from "concatwo rd"):
You can also download a corrected version to replace your installation-dir file with or put into your game-home-dir, but for once replacing the installation-file would be "the right thing" to do ;)

Code:

menudirlist "packages/misc/crosshairs" "png" "loadcrosshair (concatword $arg1 .png)" 1

Last, but not least, I want to thank the gamers.
Without you this game would be nothing!
Thanks for sticking with us and supporting this game - even through rough times - from the plain public-server scouring newcomer and/or veteran to the clan-members and, of course, especially the clan-leaders who keep the community organized and happy by providing background-services like ladders, tournaments or media.

HELL YES! HF GL!

[MykeGregory]

i'm getting this now.

i hope more people have downloaded it.
i was just in a game and i saw on my screen 'makkE: AC 1.1 Available.' or something along those lines and thought myself! i'm having some of that!

GG everyone. GG.

[NUCKChorris]

Hope all goes smooth!

[BunnySoul]

Great & fast job. thanks

[Kirin]

GR8 Job flow ;)

[VallDiGna]

Sorry but i think there's a bug in crosshair, i can't change it

[makkE]

Sorry for this. Do this: open your saved.cfg and edit "loadcrosshair" manually.

[Andrez]

FINALLY yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

GG devs, testers and involved people! ;)

[applecake]

Great! Thanks, well done! :)

[Jason]

Yay! :DDD
This is awesome, so awesome!

[Mael]

Crouch jumping is still buggy. Crouch should pull your head down when on the ground and your legs up when in the air.

Great work so far and keep it uPr

[makkE]

The small height boost in crouch jump was left in intentionally, for tricking fun and special manuevers.

[PolarHedgehog]

wee, i guess :P

[MacAdresS]

how long are you going to support 1.0 masterserver makkE?

It's not the height boost I'm talking about. It's the wobbly camera movements and possibly increased hangtime when crouching.

[MykeGregory]

THE FIRST TEABAGGING IN 1.1.
CLAIMED!
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!

Increased hangtime is a direct result of the height boost. The wobbling is hard to get rid of, and I feel it doesn't hurt much, rather is a visual representation of what's going on. It's not like it throws off your aim horribly or something.

re: masterserver for 1.0.4 - for a while at least .. depends on how long people take to transition; but actually, only cheaters will want to stick to 1.0.4, everybody else will quickly get 1.1!

[Ksyrium]

Still doesn't work on Mac OS X 10.4.11 :/

[Gibstick]

Did you install X11?

[iOD|Habluka]

How long will it be before there are ladder servers for 1.1?

[ROFLNOUN]

downloading 1.1 now

[iOD|Habluka]

I'm still getting the same problem where it's unable to create the OpenGL screen (couldn't find matching GLX visual). I've checked and made sure that everything that could be causing this is updated. Do I have to downgrade to an older version of anything to get this to work?

Edit:
my operating system is Fedora 13

[Dog|BC|Dancing]

Wow, great job everyone! Can't wait to see everyone playing this.

[Panda]

Good one guys, I hope it will rock :)

Announced it on AC News too.

Yes, but I'm gonna try with my G5, hope it will works.

[#M|A#Wolf]

Ksyrium, what about downloading the 10.6.4 version?

The same problem still. Both versions get combined :/

[ElCrema]

SWEET!!!!!
