* Modifications to SS Mine Arena, plus the new Firelight Arena (testing still to be done) – thanks Alo!
* I have disabled points-scoring for peds passing thru gates
* In-game announcements/news system, so you don’t have to trawl the forums looking for details on what’s changed

Nice, however I'd suggest putting the 3 new buttons on top of the Darkwind logo, it feels too tight right now and there's more free room there.

Or alternative they could go with the rest of the buttons (Custom Event, Driving School...).

I guess I should just finish my lobby layout concept :P

Argh, the blue team spawns are completely messed up in the SS mine arena, I sent Sam a fix.

The "news" box thing is real neat, but missing a couple things:

proper pagination:  Right now the text occupies a very slender box on the left side of the box, making it quite interesting to read.

VT100 font and ascii header stuff: this would make the "news" feed feel all 80's science fiction-ey, like some kind of

Is the arena ok now alo? I'm not sure how the spawns got messed, but I just copied-&-pasted the old ones back into the mission file.

Since the patch I cannot spectate the SS arena, it crashes on the object loading phase,

Also the first time it crashed it was hung up on adverb.jpg or something like that, but on 2 latter attempts i never saw any file names loading.. just hung and crashed at the end.

Yeah, the spawns are ok now, it was my bad for messing around with the original spawn point groups too much.


Tinker: there is a new sign model, if that failed to patch try to download everything from http://dark-wind.com/torquePatching/darkwind/data/interiors/dwSigns/ manually and put it in the appropriate folder.

Or maybe wait to see what Sam has to say.

There's no reason to think it was the new model at fault.. although that's not saying that wasn't the reason.

Can you try again tinker? All those cars spawning inside each other might have given the problem.

if the problem persists, can you post the contents of console.log?

I posted my log under Bugs/client crashes

That looks like an OSX crash log - doesn't mean much to me. Can you post darkwind/console.log?

In Arena Combats, points for going through the gates are not being awarded. Refer to event ID 36475. Gang Dementia and I.

I saw that. Note the "PEDS" part. Cars arent getting points either, when they should.

Oops, sorry about that, the gate numbers had been deleted by accident (they're used to make sure you can't get points repeatedly from the same gates).

Just don't let the two worlds cross into each other.
