[warrenscoots]

Nice release thank you :).

[KeyTrix]

Good job, but I don't support it that much I would prefer peoples take the hard way, better for educational purposes

they can improve their knowledge.

[metalgunz]

So we can just drag and drop map files into the map folder?! Chu' iz awsum!!!! =w=!

[SecretsOThePast]

Heh surprised no one did this yet. I did it for DarkGunz not too long ago.

Still have to fix mine to allow items spawns to appear properly in maps, and to allow for exp gains past the first kill.

Also, make sure you adjust the spawns to spawn you after death if you plan on using this.

Fuck yea, no need to do all that shit in XML :)
Good guy blade, releasing usefull stuff on rz. Ty man

[sahar042]

You shouldn't expect that of people from ragezone.

Because I did shit back when it was cool (this is '07 MatchServer, should work on 1.5 with small modifications).

Good job, but I don't support it that much I would prefer peoples take the hard way, better for educational purposes

Heeeeeeey.... speak for yourself x'D I for one LOVE to improve my GunZ development knowledge ^^ you know its funny. When I first began to start learning to develop for GunZ I actually thought you could just drag and drop maps, items and weapons into their folders and they would appear in game x3 so I went on a downloading spree and downloaded as much maps and weapons as I could from as many sources as possible (over 150+ MAPS) and gave it to the owner of this server I was developing for to put it in game X'D although he was as clueless as me so he didn't mind.

[DoomReaper]

Awesome release.

Knowledge about what? Gunz is no knowledge.

[metalgunz]

Knowledge about what? Gunz is no knowledge.

Are you implying it takes no brains what so ever to develop for GunZ? X'D just wondering.

[wayutok]

after this build only gunz?or gunz and matchserver?

[Solaire]

Are you implying it takes no brains what so ever to develop for GunZ? X'D just wondering.

Just look around in the GunZ Releases and Gunz Tutorials forums these days and you'll jump to the same conclusion eventually.
