2.60 patch + mods?


(Calzonzin) #1

Does the 2.60 ET patch affect mods? If so, will the source be released? I assume the engine has some (all?) of the fixes, and so mod makers don’t need to update their source code, but I don’t want to go on my assumptions here…

BTW: THANKS for the update!!

mod makers will need to merge their changes with the new source code, when it gets released.

seems like both the network protocol and demo formats has been updated

Hmmm… So why release a patch without its source so all mod makers can upgrade ASAP? :confused:

So can we upgrade the clients in the meantime, or will clients then only be able to connect to patched servers? For example what about server-side mods? Can updated clients connect to unpatched shrubet servers (et al)?

I really, really hope source is released soon!

Well, I have installed a server running ETPub mod under the 2.60 server (et.clan-pgr.com:27966). I know I am missing many server-side updates by doing this, but at least it’s running… There are also several shrubet server running under 2.60.

I hope it works reasonably well, but above all I hope the source gets released soon so the mods can be updated.

I think a lot of us are hoping that :slight_smile:
