new stuff!!

[doh_boy]

RTCW update to v1.32 is out, including new map "Tram Seige" (mp_tram). Additionally, ATI gets better support, Punkbuster provides a tool to control servers with any web browser (more on this) plus a few tweaks perhaps of interest to mappers: more support for moving objects and there's rumour of greater control over setting spawnpoints (unconfirmed).

New features added in 1.32
============================

ATI Truform:
Enhanced support for ATI Truform technology

New Multiplayer Map:
Added "Tram Siege" Multiplayer Map

Moving Objects:
Added support for moving objects (trams)

AND

This expansion pack has not been named yet, but judging from the state of the build on display, it seems to be coming along nicely. The game is being developed by Nerve Software and Splash Damage, and it will include 10 new single-player missions and 10 new multiplayer maps. In addition, the expansion will also add several new weapons, engineer abilities, and even a new player class: the covert ops specialist. Like the spy in Team Fortress, the covert ops class has the ability to pick uniforms off any dead soldiers and assume a new identity. However, other players will be able to discern a covert ops' identity by the player name above the character model's head. Likewise, an undercover covert ops player will lose his or her uniform permanently when opening fire. Additionally, the covert ops class gets the snooper rifle as the default weapon--this weapon was available in Return to Castle Wolfenstein's single-player campaign, but not in the multiplayer mode

yipee!

Wait for servers !

if you upgrade now you won't be able to play on the .58 servers until they are upgraded!

hmm, i'm at work anyway so I'll have to wait for a while anyway..... but that add-on pack!!!! coooooooooooool

/edit the clanbase servers have upgraded, apparently, I've only been told I've no clue really

havent tried a BW yet, but the BW league IRC channel says not updated until after monday, though that only really indicates league games but maybe implies the BW publics will be 1.31 until some time after the barryleague matches are done.

Jolt & BY say they are updated to 1.32.

mp_tram is very buggy apparently... otherwise there's the usual mixed opinions on it.

if your having problems playing old dm_57/58 demo's, i imagine same trick as last time will work - rename extension to dm_59.

I played on Jolt this morning 1.32 and it worked fine
I played on BW last night and , although it was 1.32 no one could kill anyone else. This morning BW was ..... empty.
Suprise me.
