We need your HELP. As you know, new netcode is so efficient that it has a huge impact on weapon balance meaning that now weapon balance is not really satisfying. It is why we are requesting your help. We need a player point of view.

As you all know, you can tune your own gameplay by creating a custom gameplay where you can specify all features : damages, spread, armor ratio, headshot factor... (F11--GamePlay SDK)

Can some of you try to create their custom gameplay they found being the best for them ? In case you don't have a server, send me a pm and I 'll give you rcon password of one of my servers so that you can use it for that purpose.

Name your custom gameplay with your nickname so that I know who did the gameplay.

A thread to discuss this subject has been created in here.

We really need you to make promod again better. Thank you in advance.]]> janek1@gmail.com ( ) Hey fraggers,

Edit 23/12/2008 - 18:30 (CET) :
To all. we've found a bug that can make the server crashes in very specific conditions. The fix is server side as well as client side. We ask every one who has installed v1.9.2 to reapply the "Patch 1.9.1 to 1.9.2" that you can find here. Of course, you don't have to go back to v1.9.1. Just reapply the patch.
To all server owners, apply the patch that you can find here. In fact we've just replaced the initial patches with the new fixed ones. Sorry for the inconvenience. That's a bug that was very difficult to catch.

Note : If you have downloaded the patch after 18:30 (CET), then you don't need to reapply the patch.

Hi all,

We are very happy to announce that you can download the new version of our mod.

Clients and patch : here
Servers and patch : here

As said in the previous news, this version does include the new netcode. We've been testing it for a week or so. All feedbacks were really good so we've decided to make it ready to the public. This is truely a major step for the development of this mod. The hit registration is way better. It improves the player experience by far.

Everything is a matter of skill. Don't blame the netcode anymore : if you miss one shot, then you are solely responsible for that.

Go get it and let's fight !!!

PS : and it's not even christmas :-) ]]> janek1@gmail.com ( )

Few news about version 1.9.2 which should be released soon (maybe early next week if no issue found by our beta-testers). We hesitate to name it 1.10 as it is a huge evolution of 1.9.1. We finally decided to name it 1.9.2 coz 1.10 could be understood as 1.1.0 and results in misunderstandings. 1.9.2 is fixing 2 minor bugs I don't want to mention in here as it can be exploit till 1.9.2 release.

So what is this famous MAJOR change that generates a big work: it is NETCODE.
Promod has now all the features we could have ever dreamt of but there were still this "hit reg" problem that remained. This is a problem that all source games/mods encounter. We were not satisfied of it and decided to have a deep look at it and see if we could do something. And the answer is "YES".
We rewrote the whole part of the NETCODE which is dedicated to hit registration. We made it more efficient, more reliable, more reactive for a better multi-players gaming experience.

Tests are under going. We expect to have a good feedback.
