| Nominated for awards! XFire Support! Oh my! |

2009 was a great year for Smokin' Guns, and to be nominated for MODDB's best independant game of the year was truely an honor! Even if SG didn't win, it's quite a compliment to be included in this category by the editors over at Mod Database. Thanks MODDB!
My hat is off to all of our talented staff here at Smokin' Guns & to the previous team, Iron Claw Interactive. I honestly never thought this western shooter would attract so much attention when we started working for it 5 years ago. Oh, and muchas gracias to the loyal fans! Without all of you gunslingers SG wouldn't amount to much. 
In case any beta testers missed it in the forum, Joe Kari released an updated version of his Alamo level with many new enhancements. You can simply connect to one of the beta test servers with autodownloads enabled to get the files, or grab it from our addon section at MODDB.
We hope to release an official SG version 1.1 fairly soon, but there's always a possibility we might have one more beta test first. For instance, I know of a map or two that are getting some changes that should require testing. We'll have to wait & see.
Hey look! Smokin' Guns is now officially supported in XFire! Get it today!
Lastly, EvilFutsin is looking for volunteers to help him make a new SG movie! He wants this to be a short video that will hopefully be filmed in one day. If you're not quite sure what this is all about, have a look at this flick entitled The Final Gunfight that was filmed in Western Quake 3 about 6 years ago.

SG BETA 1.1b4
That's right folks, the latest and greatest beta is out! Get your beta information here in this thread. What is changed in the new beta you might ask? A lot of those annoying bugs you run into online have been squashed.
Map bugs have been fixed; Check out this thread for a list of map bugs. Remember, if you see a map bug while playing, be sure to take a screenshot and post about it.
Code fixes are also in store. You can get all your code change headlines over at the SourceForge project page. Be sure to visit the timeline, view the active bug tickets, and create a new bug ticket (login required) if you see something that needs to be changed.
**Windows users**there was an error in the default smokinguns.exe that was posted this morning. If you downloaded a package earlier today, you may need to download a new executable. The current package is fixed. Please see this thread for more information.
br_clayborn version 2
If you remember the last news post, our good friend Plates released a beta version of his map "br_clayborn." He has updated the level and added a few items. You can get information here in this thread. Also, his map has been uploaded to the Moddb addons and is now on the 1.1b4 testing servers. Now you can play it with all your online friends and report back with your comments.
1day Cup 24 January
mLy! and the folks over at sg-wars are putting on a one day cup on January 24. I hear that they are looking for one more team to complete their roster. So grab your team of three and get ready to slap iron.
Future maps
A while back, the SG team started making a new duel map. The project was put on hold due to the 1.1 betas. With the betas going smoothly, the project is back on the table. You can follow its progress here in this thread. And of course, the project still includes ReD_NeCKersoN's beautiful waterfall section, enjoy:

Howdy folks! While we wait for v1.1b4, which is our next planned test release coming soon, there are a few things worth mentioning.
Some of you may remember Leon Kilean? He did several background models, textures, & did some major work on the new skins for SG's player models. So it makes us proud to see that such an important contributor for SG is also heavily involved with a great looking HalfLife2 mod called FLESH. Our very own SG dev member EvilFutsin also contributed to FLESH as well. If suspense/horror/puzzle styled games are to your liking, then check out this cool trailer & try the mod!
It seems Smokin' Guns & the Flesh mod are both mentioned in ModDB's "Video Spotlight" for December 2009. Also, the same video serves as their "Year in Review" which showcases many new games & mods for the year. Here's the vid:
In other news: bug fixes, new features & map revisions continue to flow at a good rate. Our next beta release should be an interesting one!
A very nice looking fan map has surfaced by Languid_Plates. He is still working on it in an attempt to make the best bank robbery level that he possibly can. Screenshots & a download are available HERE! Test the map & give him some feedback will ya?
Lastly, don't forget to vote for Smokin' Guns for independant game of the year over at ModDB! Scroll half way down THIS PAGE & click on VOTE!
PS. If you're curious about our current "Pic-of-the-week" you can see more HERE.

| 2009 Indie Game of the Year Awards |

Smokin' Guns 1.0 was released January 1, 2009 & that means it qualifies to run in the 2009 Indie Game if the Year Awards at Moddb. Moddb is a great place to learn about new commercial games, new modifications, and of course independent games like Smokin' Guns. It has served as a way for dev members to upload images, videos, game content, etc for years. SG also gets a lot of new players from the moddb community; so get over there, register if you have to, and vote for Smokin' Guns!

| v1.1b3 Test is Available! |
| Posted: Sat Dec 12, 2009 12:15 am |
Author: ReD NeCKersoN |
Are you the sort of gunslinger that likes to test the latest goodies?
We have a new beta test version available to tickle those itchy trigger fingers! If you'd like to step away from the saloon & those prettty bar-maids for a moment, you can help us test version 1.1b3 by having a look RIGHT HERE!
Our policy is to open the test versions to everyone these days. We only ask that you register on our forum & give us feedback. Help us out will ya?
A veritable buffet of new engine features are on hand (see last months news post for a taste), server admin weapon tweaks to make your mouth water, and even some classic maps make their way back to the battlefield. You might also notice that a few stock levels have received some graphical goodness via high-res-lightmap images. In addition, a few steps have been taken to improve frames-per-second on some of these stomping grounds as well.
Holy-Cow, are you kidding me?!? Not only is SG featured on the MoDDB website, seems we somehow managed to climb to the #3 spot out of 1,329 popular games over there! Is this based on webpage hits? I'm not sure, and it won't last, but YIPPEE-KAI-YAY! 
SG also made the front page over at good ol' PLANETQUAKE! Big shout out to Pappy-R!
Stay tuned folks, we hope to release the OFFICIAL version 1.1 of Smokin' Guns in the very near future. Test the beta, give us feedback, and let's all work together for a great new release!

Howdy folks! How about a news update?
The coders continue to refine the game engine and tweaking seems to be a passion for them! Shooting tweaks, UI tweaks, graphics tweaks, audio & voip tweaks.... that's a lot of tweaks! Screenshots anyone? See if you can spot a few enhancements since version 1.0 released 11 months ago.
A cool, new, rotoscope graphical function soon makes its debut for players or film-makers desiring a different look. Is this sweet or what?? Check it out!
The mappers are beginning to make some progress in a few areas & with any luck we'll be uploading dm_lake, br_lake & br_train pretty soon for the testers enjoyment. Br_coyotebluff has undergone a few revisions in an attempt to improve the gameplay & should also be available soon. A few, select levels will also be sporting some "external high-res lightimage" goodness that makes for some killer looking shadows. Here's a taste!
(We're also hopefull that the next official release might possibly include a brand new map or two. But no promises I say! Nothing but works in progress at the moment. Time will tell.)
Want to be a tester? See last months news post.
Breli has been absent for the last few months due to real life but is planning a return to the mapping scene. We've missed him terribly & look forward to any contributions he might make. Btw, he's the very proud father of a beautiful, bouncing, baby boy! Congrats amigo!!
Hey, I'm giving a big ol' shout-out to L3th4l & HugeLaser for keeping the website running perfectly. Smooth as Tennesee whiskey & faster than Wild Bill Hickock!
In other news, I think I gained 5 pounds over the Thanksgiving holidays. My horse isn't going to be happy about this.

SG1.1b2
The first round of BETA testing is finished and the second round has started. Many bugs were discovered, squashed, and removed for the second beta. The BETA is open to the public, but remember, you must have Smokin' Guns 1.0 installed first before installing the Beta 1.1b2. You can get the first release from our downloads page.
The testing information is still in the same spot:
Also, Tequila has expanded the beta testing to the public Moddb page, so keep an eye out for more testers!
Knife Model
If you remember a while back, vIiRuS made a new knife model. As part of the SG1.1b2 testing, we are asking you to participate in a poll on which model you prefer (click here to go to poll page). We are considering using the new knife model in the next release, but we would like to see which is more popular. Here are the two models up for election:
Original
 
vIiRus's
 
SG Nations Cup
In other news, mLy and the people over at SG-Wars have started a new competition. Here is a link to the thread discussing the competition. Registration ends November 14, so grab your team and get ready for a showdown!
