Actually no, unlagged just affects the hitting tests. Also there wont be any attack prediction for missiles.

Another update. Only change is that basic support for 1.03 clients is added for unpure servers, so they are not kicked with the "please upgrade ..." message. "Bassic" support means that it is not full, only way to fully support them is with a custom engine, so there will be several issues for 1.03 clients playing on 2.0a servers, the following being the most noticeable ones:

- No country flags.
- Fancy names are fucked up.
- Only xp_physics 0 and 1 are predicted properly, any other value will "feel wrong", with a lot of error decay for heavy using air-control.

I hope that with this update 1.03 servers finally upgrade.

1.03 clients can be identified with a yellow asterisk (instead of the red asterisk for mod-less players) on the output of /players and /rcon s commands.

The great advantage of 1.03 version (for me) is the shortest way from an idea to launch, since i can quickly rebuild and hot-plug the game module. It worths to not update servers for any long time until the update enables me to do the same.

Since you moved game code into native code modules, you could make the game modular, i.e. put just the basic excessiveplus support in the main module (without enhancemets which can potentially slow down the server or make compat. troubles while further development) and create an interface for loading custom modules, so the custom module could intercept and process game events. This will make the game really all-ways customizable and definitely kill all previous versions. Please think it out before you make version 3.0

CZE|BEAZT : Hey khaz. Yop would be nice to go back into the 2006 or 2007 for example and enjoy this game with all of those great people. We had a great times.
