[log] SoundRTS 1.2 continuous 4 released

The file is there: (Windows only)
http://jlpo.free.fr/soundrts/continuous/soundrts-1.2-c4-windows.zip

Changes from 1.2 continuous 3:
- fixed Jaws support ("jaws = 1" in SoundRTS.ini)
- bug fixed: in training games, the factions would always be random
- bug fixed: units missed by splash damage wouldn't emit a sound
- updated to Crazy Mod 9 beta 10
- added an AI called "aggressive 2" (or ai2) which does random things; not particularly efficient but works relatively well with for example the "vermin" faction; very useful for automated tests

[log] SoundRTS 1.2 continuous 3 released

The file is there: (Windows only)
http://jlpo.free.fr/soundrts/continuous/soundrts-1.2-c3-windows.zip

Changes from 1.2 continuous 2:
- restored defensive mode
- now splash damage to ground units on a plateau have a hit chance of 50 percent too
- now the footsteps rate matches the real game speed
- change: a replay will continue even if only AIs are left
- in zoom mode, if the zoomed zone is the target of a build command, and if a building land exists in this zoomed zone, the building land will be chosen as a building site
- bug fixed: SoundRTS.ini will be rewritten only when needed
- bug fixed: a wrong login in SoundRTS.ini wouldn't be replaced by the default one

About multiplayer games:
- fixed several desynchronization issues (thanks to a new, automated test); no known issue left
- default timeout disconnection delay is now 60 seconds instead of 20 seconds
- config: added 'require_humans' option for public servers (0 by default)
- bug fixed: now the server doesn't have to read faction names from style.txt
- now the server log just gives the real world duration of a game instead of the virtual time
- now a communication turn can contain several simulation turns, allowing fast games even if the ping is too high (but the game must not need too much CPU)
