Dat ass. Good job, I know a lot of people wanted this.

Spam rule should be put into place by default on all servers if we re-enable 203's. How many are there on Hospital? If there's more than 1 maybe we reduce it to just 1?

I'll say what I've said before about this but please don't let it ruin your enthusiasm.

We don't have the source code so we can't change everything freely. To solve this, we'd need to start from scratch like you're describing. It would have to be on a new engine since I doubt we can get a UE2 license. While ELiZ proves things can be ported in both directions (newer to older, older to newer), that's just assets. We would have to re-code the core parts of the game. Sounds great and we could probably get a team together to do it but there's a catch; It won't have the same feel as AA2. Never will. Even the AA devs themselves with all the source and just moving up engine builds in UE2, they couldn't keep gameplay the same. Everybody has their own favorite AA version. When you think about writing all new code, you're talking about building an entirely new game that doesn't have appeal from the AA2 audience. You're then talking about competing with all the other shooters on the market. Look at ARMA, Battlefield and Call of Duty, they each have their own niche market and nothing will ever compete with them. Building an AA clone would directly compete with ARMA. There's another game that has been on Kickstarter that pretty much is an AA clone, aiming for small-scale realism. There just wouldn't be any room in the market for competition, at least not without a paid or promise to be paid and dedicated dev team with no speciality gaps.

Makes me a little uncomortable when those images are posted and my profile says my ingame name is .[Ak4].Cwunk

That's something you can easily change.

edit: How did they detect pokes?

Pure magic. With Assist, there's a lot more control and dedication than the AA team ever had.

On one hand I think it would be a good idea, and I think we could weasel our way around and make it work.

On the other hand, fuck extra software. EA going and doing their own thing with Origin is miserable. Each game that has layers of additional required software is annoying and prevents people from playing. The more direct experience we can provide, the better. Assist takes care of everything and there's no need for anything else. Personally, I'd like to do away with BattleTracker, it's been a pain from the beginning but we all got dreams.

Due to the occasional problems with SourceForge (where Assist's downloads are hosted) I've compressed the entire current installation for Assist for those that are having issues. Please use the regular download link if you can, instead of this one. I will keep this download updated to the latest version whenever we release updates.
