SURVIVAL
Survival mode known from S1 and from games like Counter-Strike is finally here in S2! It's a modifier so you can try it with all the gamemodes (especially Domination!). Just select it from the modifiers in the Lobby menu and off you go!NEW RANKED MODES
Together with Norbo we are bringing a massive new change to ranked game modes. We can now have a totally unique custom game mode for ranked with a dedicated leaderboard.
A "playlist" is a ranked setting, e.g. CTF 3v3 is one playlist, DM Knife Only size 5 is another playlist. Players have separate ranks on each playlist, It's not shared between CTF 2v2 and CTF 3v3 for example.
Also, numerous bug fixes and improvments have been done to make ranked games more stable (thanks to Norbo and jrgp).
NEW MAPS
ctf_dusk by darDar
ctf_atlantis by darDar
ctf_voland by MM/Proto
dm_soldat - new default lobby map by Proto
And last but not least some improvements for better movement in:
ctf_snakebite
ctf_ash
ctf_limbo
WEAPONS MOD IMPROVEMENTS
RocketLauncher damage should be more consistent. Most weapons use leg/torso/head modifiers. Fixed Barret triple penetration Lowered most weapon flag push forces Most weapons have penetration Detailed weapon mod changes (https://www.diffchecker.com/Twp3SjZv)C# SCRIPTING
Scripting allows for modifying every aspect of the game logic. As well as making new game modes and new modifiers. It's still very new, so it's briefly documented and there's little examples. But if you are dedicated enough and know a bit of C# and Unity you'll find it good to go! Quick start from faq.txt: [code]Place your custom scripts in Soldat2/Scripts/Custom Check console for errors (Alt + ~). Use RELOAD command to recompile scripts. Engine documentation https://soldat2.com/docs/ Unity documentation (most things in S2 engine are fundamentally Unity) https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.1/Documentation/Manual/index.html Check "Scripts/Standard/Climb.cs" for a very simple example. "Rules/Standard/Climb.json" for the gamemode implementation. Check "Scripts/Standard/Survival.cs" for a modifier script example. "Modifiers/Standard/Survival.json" for the modifier implementation.
