Translation file available for 1.4
Maybe I should have done this earlier but nevertheless here it is. I have decided to release this so you can translate Soldat before 1.4 is out and if you`re quick enough it will be put in the default Soldat 1.4 installation file for everybody to use.
Here is the file.

Notes:
The file is saved in UNICODE format. That means you`ll have to use a decent text editor that supports saving in unicode and that doesn`t screw up line numbers (I use Visual Express 2005 or Crimson Editor). To be sure it is saved in unicode it should be about 30kb size or more.
You can copy/paste old translations where it is possible but there are some changes so please notice them (a diff/file comparison program will be useful).
The most important change is adding formatting ex. "Killed by %s", so it is possible to use correct grammar in your language when displaying "Killed by Jack".

On another note: the taunts.txt file will also be using UNICODE. So if you`ve got an editor for taunts be sure it works for version 1.4.

So if you`got the translation ready please send me it ASAP.


BTW. The dragonflies was a joke, really.
Dragonflies in 1.4
I was hiding this fact. This is the real reason for delaying version 1.4. I said once that I will never introduce vehicles into Soldat. That`s true , but I didn`t ever say anything about dragonflies!

I`m happy to announce that the next installment of Soldat will have completely realistic giant dragonflies. They can be mounted and driven like a horse. Click here for a recent screenshot from version 1.4.
Dragonflies can be used in normal DM mode and in teamplay. They can catch flags and fly off with amazing speed! (their speed reaches 60 km/h (38 mph)).
Dragonflies except using internal gills to breathe under water have other awesome possibilites. While in larval form they can catch other invertebrates or even vertebrates such as tadpoles using their special warrior hook! They can create an optical illusion for camouflage and stalk enemy insects (or other Soldat
players). Adult dragonflies live for about 4 respawn cycles. Dragonflies also can do the amazing head mount! You can make formations using male and female dragonflies to approach the enemy with a massive double attack!
I bet you can`t wait for version 1.4. Here`s another reason to anticipate it!

Soldat 1.4 announced
This has happened before. I promised just to fix bugs in the next version but I`m terrible at keeping promises. The next version will be called 1.4 and will have some major improvements.

Apart from bug fixes (like hit registering), completely rewritten lobby server code (which means faster servers list with more options), ability to resize the Soldat window without use of external programs, full support for UNICODE (asian fonts included), there will also be some new features for registered players. If you`re registered you will have the possibility to change Soldats resolution! From default 640x480 to 1280x1024 for example. Also there will be an option for a minimap which shows the whole map and your teammates! (the minimap won`t give special advantages, nothing will be displayed beyond what you see with the name tags on the screen borders).

If you want to see how this all looks like, check this page. Amongst the features there are screenshots. So check it out and remember that once 1.4 is out the price of registration will go from 9$ to 12$ and later even more! So hurry up.
