Current known bugs:

• No quicknadethrow???
  
• Major issues with coopedit, server/client not allowing proper /sendmap /getmap, modifications to maps not saving properly in coopedit. Unknown cause.
  
• autoteam not behaving properly, chooses the wrong client the majority of the time resulting in highly unbalanced teams on public servers. Unknown cause.
  

Current known bugs "fixed" in 1.4 branch:

• Crouch keybind not lowering camera in edit mode. Left shift and right shift will lower the camera in the 1.4 branch. Needs a better fix however to check for the actual crouch keybind being pressed. *Link to commit that fixes this.*

In this branch are currently four basic new modes, three of which exist in FFA/teamplay variants. These are RageDM, PackDM and eXtremeDM. The teamplay-only mode is called BattleDM. The names and specifics of how they work may undergo any number of changes, this is just experimental.

The ideas at the core of the modes are as follows:

• RageDM (rage): you carry all weapons, ammo boxes pickups replenish your current weapon
  
• PackDM (pack): you carry all weapons, all ammo pickups replenish all weapons (clip/box=small/large)
  
• eXtremeDM (xdm): you start with a pistol and a primary, dead players drop their primary
  
• BattleDM (battle): your primary selection is limited per team; one A-ARD/10:SMG, one AD-81:Sniper Rifle, two V-19:Shotguns, two MTP-57:Assault Rifles
  

The BattleDM is still purely conceptual at this point - no code was written for it yet.

In the time it took me to have lunch and post this I've already gotten some feedback. 
For instance the pistol clips in PackDM were initially implemented as half-size ammo boxes which has already been deemed confusing .. understandably so; we could keep them as simple clip pickups as always or lose the pistol in that mode entirely .. either ignoring all clip pickups or converting them to some different pickup.

There were some voices that said the whole multi-weapon arsenal modes would devolve into SMG battles - which the BattleDM mode is conceptualy targeted against. Both Lynx234 and driAn were of the opinion that the limit in BattleDM should be one weapon of each type per team. So only one SMG and so forth.

The question raised for XDM (eXtremeDM) was wether ammo was dropped besides the primary and the way that would unbalance the game; at this point you only get the starter ammo alongside the new weapon added to your arsenal. Currently the weapons stay until somebody picks them up - a timer has been suggested after which they would dissapear unused. Another idea from driAn was to place random primary weapons at the playerstarts to begin with, so you would really start with just a knife and a pistol and your primary would be a lottery. Or one could start with the regular primary you've selected and get a secondary primary (if that isn't a logical fallacy) by the weapon-at-spawn lottery.

Other questions of balance and teamsizes were raised by Lynx234 to which I haven't got any real answers yet - they can only be found by experimenting and finetuning, reinventing and scrapping, whatever it takes.

I have a personal opinion on whether Haxjump should be restored/re-implemented but I don't think it is sustainable for the project if I make such a decision on my own.

The AC committee consisting of Grenadier, Mr. Floppy, Halo and XRD has now decided that the Haxjump will not be restored/re-implemented.

Rationale:
"Hax jumps are bugged - let you 'fly' over maps; allow to get 'infinite' speed, especially using binds/scripts; unfair - they give an advantage over people which can't use them (mainly inter players exploit it). Their non-trivial behavior, flying, etc. doesn't fit to arcade gameplay, which is a core of AC since the beginning. The compromise was fixing them by changing them to working edge jumps, which everybody can perform in a simple and predictable way. Edge jumps will work the same and fair for all. Inter player will lose advantage over pubs player, gema players will have dysfunctional gema maps. So part of inter players and gema community will be unhappy, if they won't be able to use hax jumps anymore, but removing such 'hax jumps' is just the best solution."

Thank you very much for your understanding.]]>
I have a personal opinion on whether Haxjump should be restored/re-implemented but I don't think it is sustainable for the project if I make such a decision on my own.

The AC committee consisting of Grenadier, Mr. Floppy, Halo and XRD has now decided that the Haxjump will not be restored/re-implemented.

Rationale:
"Hax jumps are bugged - let you 'fly' over maps; allow to get 'infinite' speed, especially using binds/scripts; unfair - they give an advantage over people which can't use them (mainly inter players exploit it).

A couple of days ago I came across this forum for the first time after many years. I am very happy to see that there are still people playing the game. This is great. I want to say thank you to everyone who kept this game alive over the years.

Yes, it is correct that the first generation of developers handed over the project in an orderly fashion to the next generation.

I am ready for a temporary comeback to support the project in this current situation.

Three goals:
- AssaultCube 1.3 - Lockdown Edition
- AssaultCube Mobile [Android]
- Getting new traction in the project

Currently I am in touch with grenadier and we are working on a masterplan. We will propose a masterplan to you by end of next week.

Thank you all and have a nice weekend.

In the Fall Creators Update for Windows 10 (Windows 10 FCU, from the last quarter of 2017) Microsoft introduced the bug, that people experience random camera movement in SDL-based applications, so also in AssaultCube: https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3931 .

To avoid this bug on Windows 10 FCU there should be used in AC 1.2.0.2 older SDL1.2 library, v. 1.2.13 instead of default v. 1.2.14. This SDL 1.2.13 library with instruction for use in AC 1.2.0.2 are on: https://github.com/assaultcube/AC/releases/tag/v1.2.0.2 .

On https://github.com/assaultcube/AC/releases/tag/v1.2.0.2 there is also new improved installer of AC 1.2.0.2, which uses the same binaries like 1.2.0.2 version, but can detect Windows 10 FCU and use proper SDL library to avoid this bug. The installer delivers also more safe uninstaller, it adds "bulletairsound 0" to config/autoexec.cfg in profile as workaround for sound bug on Windows (sounds stop to play), in config/pcksources.cfg it has moved "us.ac-akimbo.net" on the top of the server list (that is nowadays the only working official server with custom packages, thanks to X-Ray_Dog, which pays for maintaining the whole infrastructure for AssaultCube, if you want, you can send him donation on https://sourceforge.net/p/actiongame/donate/ ).
It has also removed one huge unnecessary file, so the size of the installer is smaller than before.

PS. Original AC 1.2.0.2 installer for Windows can be still found on https://sourceforge.net/projects/actiong...201.2.0.2/ .]]> Note: the following bug appears only in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, it is fixed in the newer April 2018 Update.
