0.16b released -

Here's 0.16, although a bit late. As always, please avoid announcing it all over the place until we have a couple of mirrors. Oh, and take some nice screenshots aswell if you like. We could probably use a couple.

A few days ago I noticed May 9th, 2005 was when BG2 0.0.0 was first built. So I decided to release it May 9th, 2006, its "birthday". Huzzah!

As you may have noticed on the forums there's a bug with linux dedicated servers crashing. I tried a whole bunch of stuff to get it fixed, but failing that I figured servers can simply be patched later. Windows dedicated servers will work fine though, which is the majority.
Anyone that's good at debugging in Linux is welcome to help. So far we've narrowed it down to two things: Linux cares about file name cases, and code. Both seem to be valid causes.

For all mappers, PostalDude told me to inform you that now there's a folder in bg2/sound/ambience/ called volleys where you'll find various useful volley sounds for background noise or triggers or whatever.

0.16b released

This is for both clients and servers.
After some discussions we've decided to drop a number of malfunctioning maps for this release. Some had exploits, others various bugs. This means we're a bit short on maps,but hopefully we'll be able to get them fixed soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.
The client crash bug fix mentioned in the changelog is probably that pesky mapchange crash bug we had in 0.15. As always, if any crashes turn up please give me the .mdmp
