KarBOOM 0.2.2 is out NOW!Yes, downloads are still hosted on my website rather than KarBOOM's. I don't want traffic interfering with the forum and the lobby system.  Grab your fresh version now. 0.2.2
FEATURES
- "hold the flag" mutator.
- New explosion and boost effects.
- More options in the options screen to change resolution
without the F5 shortcut, change the volume of all sounds,
change the volume of just the car engines, or show labels
above local player-controlled cars.
- Preferences are automatically saved when the options
screen is closed and loaded when the game is started.
- If only one keyboard player is participating, SPACEBAR
can be used to handbrake as an alternative to pressing
UP and DOWN at the same time.
- New sound effects (my apologies).
- Blinking cursor added to input fields.
TWEAKS
- TAG is now more consequential, as the scores of cars that
aren't "it" now increases at double the previous rate.
BUGFIXES
- Lobby system is protected against a potential crash when
lots of games are available.
- No more doubled-up menus when disconnected from a server
while the window is inactive.
- Servers that users have had trouble connecting to are
now shown in red in the lobby.
- Scores are reset when cars are removed, so that new
players aren't given the score left over by someone else.
- Life limit mode without the THIEF mutator now ends
correctly. Looking forward to your feedback/suggestions/bug-reports. I'm planning for the next version to add rounds and limits to online play. And I've just realised by that screenshot that there is a very small bug -- the player label above gamepad players is out by one number (G2 over gamepad 1). Since I've already zipped, sent to IndieDB, and uploaded it on my website, it's not worth changing for now. But it'll be gone in the next update if I remember. We're about to have a "reading week" for "study" where we don't have to go to uni. This means I might be able to bust out a new update in the next week, which would be nice. Jibb PS: There are still around 280 free account upgrades available.

Hosting a game, if anyone wants to join. Please let me know if my port-forwarding works. Julz, there is tools for checking if your port is open, but none of them seem to work for me

Server's still up.
Can anyone see it/join? Or does port-forwarding not work?

If anyone's wondering, Germanunkol's server works! Roel and I had a bit of a bash-around.

Julz, to get rid of the arrow-key in the inchar function, try:
if(key_lastpressed == 75) //arrow key
...
if(key_lastpressed == 77) //arrow key
...
...
else
{
str_cat(...);
}

@Germanunkol: Thanks, I'll definitely try that.
@Roel: Really? From my perspective, the flag would drop on the ground whenever the person who had it went out of bounds and exploded. I've got to see what I can do about making the flag-changing during a collision more consistent.

From what I can tell the flag always gets dropped on the ground, but if there's a car who pushed you out of bounds then the car will most likely be standing right where the flag is dropped and will be picked up immediately.
Correct me if I'm wrong...
Server still open...

Correct me if I'm wrong... It certainly makes sense to me. The flag always gets dropped within the boundary as close as possible to where its carrier exploded, and that'll often be where the one who pushed you out is. Jibb
