New Release: 2.4.26 "Tanksgiving"

Post by blast »

We are pleased to announce the release of BZFlag 2.4.26. Platform binaries and the source code are available for download using the following links:

Windows: https://download.bzflag.org/bzflag/wind ... 2.4.26.exe
macOS (Intel): https://download.bzflag.org/bzflag/maco ... x86_64.zip
macOS (Apple Silicon): https://download.bzflag.org/bzflag/maco ... -arm64.zip
Source Code: https://download.bzflag.org/bzflag/source/2.4.26/

This release mainly fixes a few client bugs:
  • Audio pops should be fixed.
  • Positional audio in observer mode now uses the camera direction.
  • Fixed a regression that caused some textures to render skewed.
  • Fixed the Machine Gun firing continuously when the mouse wheel is used to fire.

The mac version of 2.4.26 hasn't been released yet. Once it is, it would have that fix.

The macOS builds are posted. As usual, we are not yet signing and notarizing the builds, so you will need to right-click (or ctrl-click) on the application and select "Open" from the contextual menu in order to bypass Gatekeeper for the first launch.

For the nerds among us, both builds still ship with the following small patch to the included SDL 2.0.20 framework to correct an issue with switching from fullscreen mode to windowed mode (later versions of SDL are not fixed by this patch, but I hope to look into that later):

Code: Select all

Where is the anti-cheat code? When is the scoring going to be fixed? When are the graphics going to be brought into the 2020's?

If you could create some effective anti-cheat, it would be accepted.

I have some plug-ins which fix some of the scoring issues in some game modes. (D.M. if you want one of them.)

New texture packages and some client mods can be useful. (I used to run a modded client for better visuals, maybe I'll release some of the mods.)

What's wrong with the scoring?
