On the project's homepage, click on the 'korax arena' section in the top menu, then click gallery on the navigation menu on the right, it should take you to the KA gallery on SF.

Nope, had to convert them to PNG images because of size restrictions, it seems the gallery app doesn't allow images bigger than 2MB and you can't upload more than 8MB in one upload.

Well, I just wanted to be sure images are not that big, they were 1.2 mb each as I remember.

Yes I used PNG compression and they were left around 600-800 KBs :). Also, there's not much to worry about, the gallery software doesn't has any limits in size.

I am rather worried about people with slow connection and/or traffic limits.

Why not 640x480 JPG screenshots with 80% - 85% quality? Look mostly the same but have a 10x smaller file size.

Sorry, people, I was busy with work and some other stuff again. What's KA status? Last internal build was pretty good. Maybe we may release it somewhen in this month?

Yep, I want to compile some missing maps I've got, upload a new internal beta this weekend (or next week at the most) and then the public release, but I would like to test the master server myself :(.

I changed the search algorithms in game; I hoped this will make game go faster, but actually I did not notice much of a difference :-k . Not sure if it works better, or not at all, maybe futher testing needed.
Code for a new search is under FASTER_SEARCH define, so KA can be compiled both with that define or without, if you like to compare.
I noticed slight changes only on "Cathedral of the Damned" map with 7 bots. With older code it sometimes dropped to 10-15 fps, now it stays above 40 fps almost all the time; then again maybe there were some other conditions that affect that, like OS working on background or something, so, as I said, more tests needed.

Good to know, I'll sit down this afternoon and test it out, right now I'm coming back from the doctor, I had some eye problems during the last week, I did get an infection on my left eye, I began treating it with medicine and then my eyelid began swelling pretty bad... 3 days after that my vision began to get a bit blurry. I went to the doctor and they made a general check of my eyes, it turns out I need to wear glasses (something I did know :P), but they also detected my internal eye pressure is high so they need to make some more studies.

No problem, right now I feel fine and I can see too, so I'll get to it.
