The key feature of (just uploaded) 1.9.3 is a completley integrated player authentication system.
If you want to play as a guest, you can enter any name you'd like (just as before).
But now, you can enter your MarsXPLR.com account info in the game - and all your friends will know that it's really you they are playing with!
Any usernames that look like "Name (Account Name)" are registered users.
My name looks like "Aubrey (admin)".
Other features include:
- Main list interface has been enhanced a bit to compliment all the new authentication stuff.
- Bots are now instantiated as the same vehicle type that the server host is commanding at the time they are added. Try using this to add a bunch of tank, hovercraft, and buggy bots to a game in Foxholes - it's really fun!
- Slightly adjusted tank physics. (Springs are a bit softer, and track engine torque curves are a bit smoother)
- The buggy flies
{Please let me know if you experience any
difficulty authenticating your MarsXPLR.com accounts - there may be
some of you who have strange characters in your names that I will need
to fix}
