Now this is what you may consider a proper beta - pretty much everything that the final 1.05 will have is in here, save for some extra maps and model updates. We would like your help in hunting down bugs and omissions, so your feedback will be appreciated (and expected
).Some potential questions you might have:
What is this 1.05 version all about?
1.05 will be an intermediate release, containing many of the improvements of version 1.1, but without any of the single player aspect therein.
Where is the single player?
The single player game is still planned in future release, such as Transfusion 1.1. However, it has been a long time since any kind of release, and there are plenty of updates that have been made over time which would benefit multiplayer action, such as improved network code and player physics.
What happened to all the maps?
The maps which have been included have been recompiled using the q3bsp format, and have been cleaned up along the way. While many of the maps from previous releases will still work with Transfusion 1.05 it was decided to include in this release only the maps which have been converted and are running well. There will definitely be more maps available down the track.
What other clients will I be able to connect with?
It should be entirely possible to connect with clients using Transfusion 1.1, however anything previous to 1.05 will be incompatible.
Will it be easy to patch 1.05 to future releases, like 1.1?
Yes, we are hoping to make the process of patching easier. This hasn't been a big concern with the beta releases, but with final releases it should be as simple as adding a few extra files.
