It is pretty much ready now. The only things on the todo list is to create the full/patch Installers, pack the EXE, and record a new intro demo. I asked the beta testing team to thoroughly test my latest binary with all fixes in it, and two weeks later nobody has mentioned anything about it so at this point I must assume it is ready to roll. If it isn’t, it might be time to clean up the private beta team eh? Hurr hurr.
Eh, sorry, but this isn’t an April Fools joke. Disappointing, yeah.
As some of you may remember, I said I wanted to have a release before the end of March, and of course that time has expired. I want to remind everyone that this is a personal blog, not an official news source. Unless I specifically state “Official Release Date” and give an exact number, don’t take it too seriously. On a more personal note, I have been fairly busy lately dealing with RL. Trying to fix things up with the person I love, which is of course more important than anything else, especially Soldat.
I have enabled a Caching plugin for this website, so articles should load much faster and use less bandwidth. The Contact and Public Servers pages will not be cached though, because of their constant dynamic content. If you encounter ANY kind of abnormality, please let me know via the Contact Form! Look out for things such as poll vote count not updating after you have voted, your comments not appearing after being posted, things like that.
The results of the current poll are quite one-sided, so I can safely say that I will not be implementing any G15 integration into Soldat 1.5.1. At the time of writing this, the results are 74% No, 16% Yes, 10% No (Maybe later).
Yes this does mean that results of any polls I post can affect the future of Soldat. So vote wisely! And maybe tell your friends to vote by visiting this site :)
Anyway, I don’t have much else to write about right now. Check back in a few days, will most likely release the final dedicated server software, and give out some fresh Coupon Codes for server rentals. Oh yeah I don’t think I announced that… I coded a Coupon Code system into PHP-Commander, so I may occasionally post some codes here. Don’t hold your breath though, it would only be for special events.
Sorry for the semi-boring article, better than nothing though eh? Don’t forget to subscribe or become a member!
Maybe this video will cheer you up…

Roll on 1.5
No doubt, the release will be somehow prolonged another month.
The only one is EnEsCe and maybe MM. But they are busy so let them do their stuff. Soldat will come out when they are ready to release it.
Looks like Soldat should be out within this week as it seems so. Anyone know exactly how long more we have to wait?
Yes that true since MM has the Registration program, but i don’t think it’ll take to long to pack a .exe since soldat is not that big.
Also worth noting that only MM can pack the .exe files as only he has the registration program.
Anyways, i am glad the wait is finally over…. You deserve a nice break for this!
Chill Pure-Kill. It’ll be ready and released when he think it is ready to let it out. Trust me. Theres alot of work to do other than just packing the .exe Theres the servers and the bugs that’ll come up as he upgrade the enesece servers for his costumer. Also that it’ll take a while before everyone is playing on the official version when it is released.
So whens it gonna come out? It shouldn’t take so long to create some installers, pack .exe files and make a 2min demo intro. It doesn’t take that long.
the video is great… :d
your life is 1st in important things, so we can wait for soldat…, but not too much, hehe
great work
This is gonna be awesome…soon the new release. Nice work on fixing the majority of the bugs and errors EnEsCe.
Great Job. Hope it will be packed in the .exe soon, and ready for teh <~(did not misspell this) downloads as an official release. XD
Pretty woman, walkin down the street… Nice video.
Can’t wait for 1.5!

Where can I post CV? Just kidding.
I would like to become Soldat Beta Tester in future. If it only was possible…

Erm, I think, not everyone has the G15, that’s why almost everyone pressed the “no” button. But I have it ;)
Oh year the indexes… It shouldn’t be such a big problem to fix that.
I have already half fixed the indexes on the Join Game tab, but there were some components seemed to always have tabstop enabled even when set to false in the IDE, so I didn’t bother wasting any more time on it.
What about tab indexes of controls on all forms of GUI?
I guess no one cares about usability of GUI since, emm… 0.9b. This is sad.
Nice, sorry for asking ;).
Btw I told you a few bugs I still had. But since they are in Soldat for some time now I guess they aren’t so problematic. However I would like to see them fixed in near future.
