Hello fellow Tremulous lovers. I am a TremZ developer who was recruited by volt.
I would like to make it very clear to everyone that volt has overthrown the project and banned myself, cron, and many other developers from the project for the reason "Traitor":
A month ago when I was originally contacted by volt he asked me to help him overthrow the TremZ project. He started by removing Ishq and cron's access from the dedicated server and forum. He then asked me to transfer all of the server data to a new server and then delete the original data. I did not do this. Instead, I started interacting more with Ishq and the other developers and stopped communicating with volt altogether. Fortunately his plan to kick all project members that disagreed with him did not go through at the time. Unfortunately it appears he is now successful.
This whole time volt has been working in secret on a different, equally unstable codebase. The other codebase solely relies on all bug fixes that we make. The purpose of the alpha release this month was to accelerate development and find bugs. The alpha release has served this purpose and we have made dozens of bug fixes planned for release on Monday:
* Mouse sensitivity will now function correctly.
* Added automatic fallback support for computers that do not support GL3.
* BuildSkeleton will no longer fail and flood the console with messages.
* /register and /unregister will now function correctly.
* The binding interface will now function correctly for Dodge, Sprint, Secondary Attack and Use Structure/Evolve.
* Added ALT+TAB support for Linux and Mac. Additionally, ALT+TAB will now function correctly on Windows.
* Lines that end with a "^" character will now function correctly.
* Maps that rely on stock Tremulous 1.1.0 maps will no longer have missing assets.
* ALT+ENTER will now function correctly on Mac.
* The console on the vanilla renderer will now be displayed properly.
* Cheat protection has been removed from r_mapOverBrightBits, r_overBrightBits and r_vboModels for players with driver issues.
* Holding down three or more keys will no longer flood the console with messages.
* The console now supports all 32 colours. Additionally, black is a dark grey for readability.
* The rifle bullet casing will now display correctly on the vanilla renderer.
If we had waited an additional several months for volt's UI and HuD the game would have been equally unstable because we need a user base to help us find bugs. volt has a distorted understanding of what an alpha release is, and wants to continually delay the project for a UI and HuD that he is working on in private and will not share with anyone.
Now about HermXIV. HermXIV is one of volt's puppets. A blind follower. HermXIV organised our website hosting and has now blocked all of us from accessing it. Additionally, he is threatening legal action if we restore a backup of the website with a new host because he legally owns all of the data, including posts, accounts, wiki and blog entries. Unfortunately it looks as though we will have to start a website from scratch with a new domain name.
I hope that order is soon restored.
Regards,
Sixthly
Volt and Herm have lied to all of us!
