SOLDAT 1.6.3 RELEASED!


Here's the awaited release of Soldat 1.6.3.
This is the 10th anniversary release of Soldat!

Soldat is 10 years old now! It was a hell of a ride so far with lots of drama, developer changes, april fools and of course fun.
Lets see what the next 10 years will bring ;)

Let's see what the creator of Soldat Michal Marcinkowski has to say:

Hey this is MM,
Time for some nostalgia :). Because I released Soldat 10 years ago I wanted to post something fun like a pic of me coding but I don't have one. It seems nobody had cameras back then.

If you're long enough in the community you might remember how it all started, way back in the ice-age. Those were times when there was nothing like indie games. There were just a couple "shareware" developers and the internet gaming scene was ruled by a little game called "Little Fighter". I found the very first Soldat home page (that I coded myself in notepad) on archive.org.

If you're ready for some time-travel to 2002 click here:
http://web.archive.org/web/20021123132106/http://www.soldat.prv.pl/.

Things worth noting from looking at that page:
- it is written in HTML. I added news by opening notepad, editing the page and uploading by FTP.
- there were 164 players playing (which is nice, but then it grew to over 1000 at any given moment)
- the Soldat lobby server was made by a Polish coder TRSSam - what are you doing now man??
- the most popular web browser for accessing the site was Internet Explorer 6.0
- Arena and Deathmatch was the most popular map and gamemode (when did CTF start to rule?)
- the downloads page had a gazillion mirrors which I all edited manually trying to add as many as I can because servers would randomly become destroyed as traffic from Soldat downloads would kill them

The news was also pretty frequent. I worked as mad man back then on Soldat. I work the same way now on King Arthur's Gold. I hope this little note from me brings back some memories and gives you an excuse to go score some frags on multiplayer. Have fun!

A few people deserve special thanks:
 Mr for finding and reporting a remote code execution vulnerability in client and server
