Feature order? What can we expect next?

From the looks of it, Lonestar is kicking ass - I've seen the GUI and think its a much more user friendly approach than other mods.

What features can our admins and players expect to see next?

Keep up the good GREAT work!

beta2, which is what we're hoping to migrate the servers to in a couple of weeks, includes:
- Official DoDS support
- Official CSS support
- A basic voting system (will be improved each release)
- (Admins only) Visual improvements to admin-chat
- (Admins only) All configuration information is reloaded every map change, and it can be reloaded any time an admin wishes it to be
- (Admins only) A new menu for showing all of the connected admins and what group (e.g. low, mid, high) they are in

We're still working on the CSS and voting support, once that's done we'll release beta2

Oh I forgot to mention admins will be able to change the all-talk setting too

Will a "switch player to opposite team" function be in this release? (more usefull in DoD:s then TF2 due to no autobalance.)

It probably won't make it into beta2, but I'll put it on the queue for beta3

Just checking in - looking forward to Beta 2.

How's it going?

Need any more testers?

There are lots of small things that need finishing related to voting, but the basics are all working (starting a vote, everyone voting, showing vote progress as time is ticking down, announcing the results).

Additionally we have some things other mods don't:

You can revote on a vote as much as you want before the vote expires
The system supports multiple votes at the same time, so if everyone was voting on the next map, and a vote came up to turn on all talk, both votes work and operate in parallel without interfering with each other

FYI now that we have a issue trucker, we get some nifty tracking features related to releases
Issue Tracker: http://67.19.3.130/mantis
Roadmap: http://67.19.3.130/mantis-1.2.0a1/roadmap_page.php (shows what tasks are left to do before a release, and what's been done so far)

And if you ever find an issue, or think of a new feature, make a ticket!
