Hello Tomdun,is this the final version or still a beta.

Another question how do you go about putting this mod on a server? as we have a dedicated server coming on Monday.

Thanks.

This is still a beta version, but it is very much playable. As for the server check out our wiki:

The capping system's definatly a step backwards, it's far to easy for someone to circle around and just touch the enemies flags to reset them, getting people on a public server to cap flags in the 1st place is hard enough.

Having to keep touching flags to maintain was a feature I was glad to see go in the 1st place.

Melee is feeling very sluggish in this patch, taking some getting used to.
