Another version of the Insurrection mod has been released.

Unfortunately there can't be a small patch since basically every part of the mod has been adjusted. I've always tried to keep our mod at an extremely small file size, so I know you all can grab it. My apologies about the inordinate amount of bugs to be found in 0.2. Be sure that this version is much much cleaner. Big thanks goes out to those who gave us a try and play online.

-Cannons all rescripted and fully operational now. (Soldiers manning cannons can be shot as well as collision all redone on cannons/mortar)
-Weapons all heavily adjusted to make up for lag and create much better online play. Many have been rescripted in how they aim and damage dealt too.
-Lines have been rescripted a bit and should be playable on or offline, and bots should also use them better now.
-The_Indomitable now supports bots, however Push will not in this release.
-Collision on fort pieces all adjusted
-Knife does more damage
-More Static's and maps to come soon in a Map Update
-Plenty of other things behind the scenes to reduce file size and crash to desktop should be fixed now.

The Battlefield Conversion Team has an update for us today. Have a look.

We're still evaluating custom maps to be used in the mod, and one of our coders is creating a new in-game menu theme for our conversion mod, adding 3 new game modes to our mod, for a total of 4 main game modes for the first release. More information on these game modes will be released later when they've been successfully coded. Only 2 of the 4 game modes are working in game. More to come on that later. We have a release date set for our mod to give to DICE, but I'm not going to publicly announce it yet until we get closer to the release date. [Full Story]

The DC_Xtended mod has an interesting update today. Check it out.

What you just saw above is the spawn menu for the British on British maps. As you can see, most of the classes have British style weapon icons. The icon is just the main weapon for the class. But hold on to your hats cause this is going to please a lot of map makers.

The spawn menu interface is "Active". It's not hard coded into the game. The text displayed for each class can be completly customized and so can the icon shown. Since DCX has many classes and spawnable kits, you will notice that on some maps the text is different and so is the icon. The kits used in the map is what dictates what will be shown in the classes. So if a map maker were to use an AA kit for the third class, the text would show stingers and no SMAW and the icon would be a stinger too! But wait... there's more! [Full Story]

The Red Orchestra mod has an update for their fans today. Have a look.

Ever see bullets landing all around you and feel like something is missing? Or that a shot just came out of nowhere and took you down? Well we have introduced a bullet “whiz” system. When a bullet passes by the player within a certain proximity, they will hear a 3d positional “whiz” of that round going past! The closer the round the louder the sound that the player will hear. The bullet hit sounds are also improved.

To go along with this new feature, the team has also greatly improved destructible environments for mappers with such things as windows, walls, and more destroyable by bullets, tank rounds, and satchels depending on the object... [Full Story]
