Finally! The next version of Soldat is ready: Soldat 1.6.8!
Most of the changes in this version are fixes but there is more!
If you prefer not to see some notifications ingame you can modify your translation by leaving the line empty.
Some of you probably know that you could auto-complete nicknames at the start of the line with Tab key.
In this version we added support for nickname Tab completion anywhere in the chat line. In addition to that you can now cycle through nicknames which start with the same combination of letters, or even without typing anything by just pressing Tab!
We also have something for those who record Soldat videos: non-shaking freecam when heavy weapons are fired.
Lots of scriptcore related fixes for our admins and scripters!
I'd like to thank the whole Dev Team for making this version possible. Big thanks go to ExHunter and skoskav for their help!
In case you are looking for the new default Soldat mod - it has been delayed and will arrive in a Soldat release after this one.
If you prefer it to the current mod or want to help us make it better - take a look in the Feedback on the new default weapon graphics thread.
