Based on bug reports we have received from players and server operators we present NS v3.1.1, a server-side bug fix update to NS v3.1.
This release fixes a crash some servers were experiencing ("Host_Error: PF_MessageEnd_I"). It also addresses an issue where under certain conditions the wrong sound files were being played when a player requested another player to weld them.
The patch can be downloaded here, and the full changelog is here. Only server operators need to download this patch.
NS v3.1 is now available for download from the links to the right! NS v3.1 is available as a patch to 3.0 or as a full download. The full changelog is here.
Server notes: To patch your existing NS 3.0 server, unzip this patch into your hlds directory. It will create an ns directory, and overwrite server.cfg and mapcycle.txt. If you backup your mapcycle.txt and restore it, don't forget to add ns_shiva.

Enjoy and we'll see you in-game!
