our latest patch has been sent to Valve to will be published within the next hours. As announced in previous threads, the major change in this patch is the ability to change stances while reloading. Here is the changelog in detail:

• One can change stances again while reloading. Only jumping will interrupt reloading. Reloading during a jump is not possible.
• cvar changes via rcon will show up now as chat text. This league related feature will show you the cvar you changed in real time with the new value followed by the old value in brackets.
• Minor fixes and optimizations for vtf files in preparation for a follow up patch already in progress that will introduce optimal compressed weapon vtf files in order to improve performance on low-end machines.
• Minor fixes related to reload animation issues.
• New m1014 textures.

Since the update is both client and server related, server admins would have to trigger an update (in case the update automatism isn't turned on for your server)

See you on the servers!]]> endless lostnode Mon, 19 Apr 2010 12:44:45 -0500 Thu, 01 Jul 2010 18:35:54 -0500 22500 http://forums.insmod.org/index.php?showtopic=22265
We'd like to call your attention over an interesting map just released by RetroBoss, a member of Clan-Germany.

This map is set on Srilanka, so it certainly has an exotic touch that will bring some fresh air for those of you who are tired of fighting in the Middle East, and offers a tropical atmosphere with misty waterfalls, overgrown temple ruins, and even a giant Buddha statue as the central landmark of a large temple compound.

This is definitely an eye catching map once you try it (screenshots don't do it justice), but by far the most attractive of its features is that it offers a good mix of verticality (multi-layered temples and a mountainous landscape), multiple strategic routes, sniper and long-range positions, close quarters assault and flanking opportunities in a textbook example of a good quality custom map that enhances the mod it's intended for, while offering players a chance to enjoy a completely different setting.

Srilanka is designed to be played by large teams. It's certainly not intended for small skirmishes but feels rather suited to large scale battles. On a full server, you can better experience the numerous tactical possibilities that it offers, and shows a clever use of the push game mode with destructible walls and other elements that allow your team to access certain areas. Some of those, like ladders, only appear after you have captured the previous objectives.

You can find more information about this custom map for Insurgency here (English) and here (German).

If you want to play the map online, it's available 24/7 on Clan-Germany's Server 2

There are many great custom maps you can find in this section. We'll be featuring some of them in the near future!]]> Dr. Spielmann seidos Mon, 15 Mar 2010 18:39:07 -0500 Fri, 02 Apr 2010 07:05:05 -0500 22265 http://forums.insmod.org/index.php?showtopic=21889
As mentioned a few days ago in the forums, the "end-of-round crash while spectating" has been resolved.

The update has just been uploaded to Valve and it should become live within the next few hours. For those of you not familiar with the issue, the patch fixes a crash that occurs when you are spectating and the last objective on the map is captured.

We are currently working on addressing other known stability issues, and will release similar smaller patches for them in the near future.

Thanks a lot for your support and feedback, and see you on the servers!]]> Dr. Spielmann Mr. Brightside Tue, 12 Jan 2010 19:57:02 -0600 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:31:12 -0600 21889 http://forums.insmod.org/index.php?showtopic=21566
After your helpful feedback during the release of 2.5 we've been able to create a hotfix that solves some of the most annoying problems of the previous release (namely, crashes, grenade-related bugs, etc). We've also added some extra eye-candy with better weapon selection icons!

This is the detailed changelog of this small update:

• M203 range increased 10%
• Prevent "grenades get players stuck" issues.
• Fixes a number of reported crashes.
• Morale-related issues fixed.
• Added 2 new tips to the loading screen (related to spectator menu).
• Al-Kadesiah fire sound has been corrected.
• Weapon selection icons have been upgraded and consolidated.
• M4 Aimpoint opacity corrected for all graphics cards (no more opaque lense).

We would like to thank everyone for the great reception of 2.5. We hope that this update will minimize the stability problems and provide a much more enjoyable experience.

As with all Steam updates, your client will automatically update shortly.

See you on the servers!]]> Dr. Spielmann opt!c_Zephyr Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:19:06 -0600 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 19:18:05 -0600 21566
