There it is, UTComp 1.6 is now out of beta, and ready for release. For those who missed out on the beta phase, this release adds several new features, the biggest ones being an enhanced netcode to help even out gameplay on higher pings, and a built-in clan arena gametype. Note that unlike the betas, the enhanced netcode is not enabled by default on servers: server admins can either enable it manually (view readme for information on how to do that), or players can vote it in in the voting --> UTComp settings menu.

As always, please make sure to report bugs you find in the forums above. We're also open to any feedback players might have on any new or old features.

We want to give special thanks to all the server admins and players who've helped beta test this new UTComp version. Without you, none of this would have been possible.

Just a reminder, you *MUST* add utcompv16 to your serverpackages if you wish to record serverside demos.

Many improvements since 1.4 :)

Evil > UTComp basically allows you to higlight ennemies, force models, draw info on your team status, has hitsounds.
You should try it to make your opinion : some love it, others hate it and others (like me) think it's sometimes usefull and well designed

While I'm at it. Am i the only one who can't play recorded demos ? I turned on server-side demo recording and played 2 instant action matches to test this new version, along with the CTF version of Utronic, which I had just downloaded.
I'm able to run the demos, but the players don't show (I see the items, the combos, flak cannon projectiles but not a single player).

Seems to be up, right now.
Here's a mirror, though :

I maybe spotted a bug.
I started a clan match with bots (just to see what it was). I set bots to default number. After a few rounds, I notice that, even though I killed what seemed to be the whole opposite team, they're still 3 blue fellas shooting at me. I don't pay any attention to it : "Maybe this is not designed to work with bots", and quit match.
Then, I start an iCTF match with 4 blue bots. A few minutes later, there were 6 of them (and 2 more in my team, to keep balance).
My idea is that UTComp messes with the botcount in some gametypes. Any idea of what could be causing this ? (First match was on campgrounds, second one on Utronic, both without other mutators).

What is this?
