Here is a list of bug fixes:

  Internet Play
    - When the server switches levels, all players were thrown into the holding cell,
      but don't properly rejoin the next level. Fixed.
    - Entering a server as a spectator then typing "suicide" on the console caused the
      spectator to be visible to players as a little tiny chess pawn. Eliminated.
    - "RMODE" command is no longer allowed during network play (potential unfair
      advantage).
    - Fixed object updates becoming erratic after 30+ minutes in the same level.

  Internet Server
    - Fixed potential crash when players are downloading files.

  LAN Play
    - Fixed message "Connecting to unreal://0.0.0.0/" without ever connecting.
    - Fixed joining game from "find local servers menu" not connecting.

  UnrealScript
    - Fixed crash calling static functions.
    - Added function InternetLink.IpAddrToString
    - Implemented ELinkMode MODE_Binary in UdpLink, for mod authors who need to
      implement binary UDP protocols.

  Editor
    - Fixed crash on exit

AEus - Status
On a note: I won't be doing much with Unreal any longer... Except for AEus... I will put my spare time into making a public version. As of now I am still not sure if I will release the source code. Depends on the feedback I get.

Since a new Unreal Patch is out... my hopes are high that Unreal Script is working properly again. I will sit down this evening and take a look the the current Unreal Script code. If all goes well I should have an update of "AEonsDMmod" working this weekend.

I will be handing out AEus in steps. First a Beta that contains binaries for w95 and Intel Linux. (Other platforms are no problem at all, Linux on Alpha's comes to mind, or even OS/2, or DEC Ultrix. We have all these machines at our institute, and since my code is in ANSI C, a recompile should be no problem at all). The archive will contain so-called "Header" htlm files. These are the HTML pages you can see on the Stats pages, only that they have "key word lines" that tell AEus where to place stats tables etc. This will make it very easy for you admins out there to put together your own stats pages. I will also include an example log file for tests. There won't be any detailed docs. I'll include a short readme that tells the more brave among you how to get started.

By and by I'll put together a comprehensive "AEus Code" page (at present the links leads nowhere), that will contain tips and tricks, and more detailed docs. But the latter will take a while. First I hope to make a working AEus binary available. Note the present version still has some bugs, and lots of extra stuff is still not implemented. It all depends on the feedback I get. If there is lots of interest, I'll be motivated to do quite a few other nifty things :).

Out of the Eon
Long Time no Update :9... I have been on vacation in the Bavarian Forest this last Week, to get away from it all... did some hiking. Above 1000m we even had snow... woopiee :)).

On a more serious note. Personally 3D shooters are getting on my nerves, I haven't been playing any of those in months. The only game I am really looking forward to is Quake III.

Nothing much has been happing in terms of a new AEon's Unreal Server, due to some weird "holdups"... hmmm... maybe this is for the better... it leaves me more time to get a life .-)... Will keep you posted if anything happens Server-wise.
