If you enjoy Tanks, be sure to try out the special editions:

  • Went back to a more reliable version of sd_Text so the HUD works properly.

  • Fixed the TDC weapon display bug

  • Tell visible in verb panels again

  • Neutral doors are now brown, since white will be a team color in future versions



Version 32 changes:

  • Fixed a minor glitch in the TDC that prevented it from working properly on some systems.

  • Using a new experimental version of sd_Text that uses pixel offsets instead of icon shifting. It should be much faster and decrease bandwidth issues.

  • Changed the tank animate_movement so they appear to slide when you turn insted of snapping into place. It's sad it took this long, since Tanks wa part of the reason Dantom included slide_steps
