There were some discussions about item placement in ctf_gate1 and most people I talked to were annoyed by the unbalanced chaingun. I hoped to find some voices wishing to keep it. LG replaced it. The final committed version was uploaded a half year ago. There was some beta testing. If you did not participate...

Actually there is a chaingun in new oa_koth2. Had not much feedback on it either but I am glad you like the improved ctf_compromise. Same people who criticized the chaingun in gate1 helped me to improve that one.

Since nobody seem to have created a single-file 0.8.5 release, here I come Smiley

Zip file download: http://thedimi.net/files/openarena/oa085.zip - md5sum 36bc5045f29fcdf38110da0f0f592993
Torrent download: http://thedimi.net/files/openarena/oa085.torrent (encouraged) - md5sum f573e505d348bdad9e8b5db620ceee73

Other places to download through torrent (encouraged):
http://www.sumotorrent.com/en/details_4198314.html
http://www.seedpeer.com/details/2903252.html

If you want just the 0.8.5 patch, get it here: http://openarena.ws/download.php.

It would be GREAT if fromhell, etc post a 1-file download for 0.8.5 release.

For those interested in how the ZIP and TORRENT files were created, here are the logs:

The g_gravity setting that allows jumping walls and such in ps37ctf is ~768. Remember that it must be set for each map after the map-command: like: map oasago2; set g_gravity 768; because maps always overwrite it (in case there was a spacemap before) and yes it fails after callvote map.

pmove_fixed is buggy and has always been buggy.
But pmove worked. And setting gravity sucks. The physics shouldn't change in the first place.

There was some beta testing. If you did not participate...
I am just playing the game as it is, not testing all new possibilities everyone comes up with to spot something I don't like.

It turns a bit complicated to get OA working out-of-the-box, and of course some more efforts could have been done for this release.
The version I made with mac stuff in and all just works for me. The only things not working -like black name- are because of 085 itself.

Quote
The new menu i like. Yeah the red, black, and other colors were nice in 081. But it had a quake 3 look to me. The new blue and black menu gives OA its own look.
Better a stolen look than one which doesn't look nice (I bet most of the ppl at school would laugh if they'd see openarena with this colors, they didn't with 081s menu).

edit:@vindimy, i did create a single download for 085..

Sorry , but despecting of the name (pmove_float) the physics are now FPS independent and equal for every player.

Every player will jump always for the same number of units independently of using com_maxfps 85, 125, 333 or 3000 , as it is in Urban Terror and Cpma for example.

I certainly agree about installing it being kind of a puzzle for a first timer like me.
 
The menu seems to remind me of some type of creepy show from the 90s but I just can’t place it.

The crosshair changing color health option is nice but for me it just distracts me so I just turned it off

Also I wonder how many newbs will pick the ghost assassin model thinking no one can see them and I am sure within a couple of weeks they will be a surge it them.

As for the oa_minia it takes some getting use to but I do like it because the ammo is not right next to the weapons saying camp here in big bold letters and it seems to have more flow to it and more escape routes at the top part. The only real gripe I have with this map is the gap between the stairs and the platform at the top. The reason being is because if you are running away from an attacker and you are low on health and running backwards you may not remember to jump and whine up falling to your death. Other than that I feel I just have to get use to the new lay out.

Also about the CTF gate1 map I have think that maybe the chain gun should be put back and the reason is because the defender just having a shotgun when they spawn near there just is not going to cut it when they are up against a person or persons with a rocker launcher at least with the chain gun it proves a heavier defense than a shot gun.

Also Cosmo I think the main reason people where annoyed was not because of the chain gun itself but because of the person wielding it. When you really think about it any weapon can become annoying if it is spammed, camped to death or is the only weapons a person uses and totally destroys everyone with it. The important thing to remember here is it is not the weapon itself that is annoying. And if a person finds a certain weapon annoying it is usually the map layout or they have not found a way to counter it or possible the weapon in question makes it hard for them to capture the flag and they want it gone to make getting the flag easier.

And as a final thought I was wondering is there going to be a new look for gargoyle or a new gargoyle like character the reason I ask this is because on the blue side in Comprise there is a huge gargoyle like statue there while on the other side there is Liz and I was wonder why someone when to the trouble of making a whole new model just for it to be a statue and not a playable character.

I think 0.8.5 a good release. I reckon the blue menu is pretty neat.

I have to disagree with Cacatoes. I think the patch is very easy to find. At the least, the game and patch are each only 2 clicks away from the front page.

@ cosmo: in ctf_ompromise, I make no footstep sounds when walking on the sandy ground. Is that meant to happen?

There were only a few differences between ps37ctf and ps37ctf2. Maybe for the next version we could remove the original ps37ctf, kaos, oa_ctf2old and the other obsolete maps. Or are they there for a reason?

People complained about too high damage potential of chaingun. Combined with such small flagrooms like we have in ctf_gate1, defending is quiet easy. Putting the Lighting Gun in a central spot I was trying to balance it. Reviewing it now, a single Chaingun might have been the better choice.
Balancing maps is a difficult task especially when you target competitive audience. The pillars in those central courts have been altered and additional sideways were created to have a more dynamic gameplay.

@chaoticsoldier: For walking on sand those stone and metal footsteps are not applicable. OA does not support additional foodstep sounds for sand and snow. Anyway walking on sand does not make any noise when compared to any solid ground like concrete or metal. Besides ctf_compromise has lots of long corridors where advanced players do strafejumping. If you simply 'run' your foes won't notice you that quickly.

It would be GREAT if fromhell, etc post a 1-file download for 0.8.5 release.
Redundant old WIN32 binaries in the archive will confuse (i.e. some in oa-legacy, the OTHER openarena deprecated, etc), other than that, i'd approve and mirror this. Please note I do not want to do big releases often since my own upload bandwidth is a pain to go through, so I want to up 300mb+ files as seldom as I possibly can. Fortunately with a http direct link available I can easily upload from URL at moddb, though I don't know how easy it is for tuxfamily

I can easily get it to tuxfamily mirror, though this release was meant to be a patch, so it's like I let it being a patch.
We can do both, I'm currently getting the .zip file from Vindimy's repo.

(I'll edit when finished.)

Edit: oops, disk quota exceeded, lol

Edit2 : I cleaned the repository a bit, deleted some old versions .exe and kept some .zip, we now have space for a few more releases without problem, and I suppose these quotas can be extended at need. I will get Vindimy's archive.

Edit3 : Quotas extended, Hurray ! Tuxfamily mirror for full 0.8.5 here - Torrent.

copied the single file version to http://www.zvdk.nl/oa085.zip

Still i have no quota there, and can upload at ridiculous speed. Spam to all your friends, make openarena really really popular again.

 fromhells http://www.zvdk.nl/oa085p.zip is also still online, for the quick patch.

Where are the sourcefiles located? Lots of linux distributions require this to be a single file with stable md5 checks to be added to their package repositoriies

Look, RMF, the new theme has won many positive responses. It's your minority who hate that.

Personally, I like it as well, and it looks better than Quake 3's simple and boring menu.

Regarding the new theme, I mostly like it (there's so many improvements) BUT I wish that the background was able to be stretched for widescreen monitors (right now it's fixed 4:3 ratio). Maybe next release Smiley

Just got around to upgrading to 0.8.5. I like the new menu gubbins. Very swish Smiley

I only managed to play one game before I had to come back to work. I got completely trashed! Has the upgrade suddenly made me suck?

Doubtful, I sucked pretty bad before the upgrade.
Will test further....

Angelyss looking V swish now Smiley And I was very pleased to see all the non-OA maps and models I added remained intact.

Nicely done

i have set up a 0.8.5 supeR,CTF Server some days ago. first everything worked just fine with the new 0.8.5 patch on client and serverside (including the heartbeat).

but suddenly after a restart of the 0.8.5 Server i cant get heartbeat to work. It just wont heartbeat the masterserver which I set in config file with seta sv_master1

even if i try to heartbeat manually using the \heartbeat servercommand it just wont do a single heartbeat anymore.

i restarted the server deamon several times by now. for oa 0.8.5 i got no chance to get it working again. if i restart one of my 0.8.1 servers, no problem, they will heartbeat as usual.

any ideas?

btw: great patch, thx for the good work

What if you put a default config in (without loading the one it normally would)? Maybe some var makes it not work which has changed lately (sometimes changes ar latched, which would explain why it happened after the restart).
A fresh download and clean baseoa/ctf dir couldn't hurt either btw.

About heartbeats.

You now again need to set "+set com_dedicated 2" to get the server to send heartbeats. You can also use sv_public 1 to force even a listening server to send heartbeats.
