It's been long time since Global Storm mod got new version.

It took me more then I thought it would, but finally v0.5 is in final phase of testing.

Testing phase should last for a few days. But most of all what does v0.5 brings?

Most of all is fixes:

Lot's of code optimization, removing unnecessary files, improving some weapons models,new weapons models, new 1p animations for all weapons, new sounds, new textures for some units. I Finally fixed bot team balance in Single Player, thanks to the work of ESAI/Void the AI is now much,much better opponent. Plus there is more stuff that I did but I forgot it. After almost six months of work (ALONE) I kinda lost track what I fixed and what I ruined. :)

Emiliomau made new and improved some of his old models of scopes.

I did had a plan to make 1p prone animations, but at this rate of working, who knows when v0.5 would be ready. So I didn't made 1p prone animations, it would be done in next version. I also wanted to make some pickups, but again I didn't found the time for it, and so on, so on...

Now as for weapons.
I made new and impoved some older weapons models.

So these are new weapons:
- AK-74u (new model made by Emiliomau).
- AK-74u with Kobra scope

- Removed RPK-74 with Kobra scope and added RPK-74M with PK01VS scope
- removed ak101 with Kobra scope and added AK-74M with PK01VS scope
- Saiga (vanilla model with new 1p animations)

Improved weapons models:
- M4a1 Iron sight (minor changes)
- M4a1 Aimpoint (minor changes)
- M4a1 Eotech (minor changes and new EoTech scope)
- M16a2
(improved iron sight)

So that is for now.

Start keeping a changelog file for yourself if you're having problems remembering what all you've fixed/change.

Also, maybe start using version control? That can be a huge help, especially when bug-hunting.

If you could, for v0.55 or whatever is after 0.5, could you improve some maps?
For example, if you look at a could in real life, you can see it is closer or further to the ground from others, why not add a 2D cloud effect in the sky to give that effect. It would also look good and feel better for jet pilots.

If you get the badly done diagram.
