What's new in version 4.03?

A list of maintenance release changes for minor version numbers can be found on the beta site.

Version 4 of Ultimate Paintball continues to improve upon the Activeworlds paintball tradition by introducing new features and resolving old issues that have hampered play in the past.  The primary focus of version 4 was stability and ease of use.  Thus, while there may be fewer new features than in previous releases, version 4 should be much more stable than past versions.

• Added the Universe Host and Universe Port options to the Login Options dialog box.  Used in conjunction with other features, it is now possible to hold trans-universal network paintball matches.
• Added the health feature.  This feature allows worlds that enable it to disable one-hit kills and increase the level of strategy in the game.
• Added the healing orbs feature.  Users can use healing orbs to recharge their health after being injured.
• Added the "info" and "status" verbal commands.  These commands allow users to gain information about the world in which they are playing and the player's current game state
• Added the "setkills" verbal command.  This command allows bosses to change the scores of players during the game in response to cheating or to even the odds in skewed matches.
• Added the "change" verbal command.  This command allows team leaders to change the names of their teams, if teams are enabled.
• Resolved an issue where grenades could become "unresponsive" if grenades were collected while being added to the playing field.
• Resolved an issue where starting the application in the root directory of a drive could cause a crash.
• Resolved an issue where the "/reject" command would not function if the rejected player was not currently present.
• Resolved several issues with the skull cleanup interface when more than one world was dropping skulls.  Skulls should now be properly dropped and should be able to be cleaned up completely using the interface.
• Added the ability to resize the Login Options dialog box so that users operating at 800 by 600 resolution or less can resize the dialog to their resolution.
