I probably should have posted this like yesterday, but oh well...Zap Build 160 is available from www.zapthegame.com
* Added Bots! Server admins use '-bots' to enable bots.
* Language filter
* Made changes to Guest mode functionality
* Minor Community Server improvements
* Made Level Editor accessable through the Main Menu
* Bug fixes to Mac key sticking, command line switches and other minor things
The one you will probably notice most is "Made changes to Guest mode functionality." Yes, there is now actually incentive to buy the game. As a guest you will have a set loadout. Shield, Repair, Phaser, Bouncer, Mine. (This is the same loadout the bots have) The reason for this is that this loadout enables you to be an effective player in all game modes, but the cooler modules are lacking from your choices, as are some of the weapons. We realize that some of you who have been playing this game for a long time now as Guests will not be happy with this change, but before you go ranting about it. Think back to how many hours you have put in to Zap, and for the price of $20, it's not a lot at all.
