Probably only for A7. There won't be an update anymore for A6 unless a major bug surfaces in the last A6 version. This however is unlikely as it's half a year meanwhile since it was released.

Ok, some bugs in A6.60
I want update a A6.4 code to A6.60 code but:
my.overlay don't work for map entity (wmb)with A6.60

this Code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ent_animate(player,cycle_str,cycle_percent,ANM_CYCLE);cycle_percent += 0.5 * frame_speed * time;if (cycle_percent > 100){cycle_percent = 0;}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I didn't think you could animate terrain...

Don't know why you'd want to...

For example to feign an erosion of the ground on 50 million years, to explain the erosion in an educational game

Another bug I consider more critical:
Dedicated server (A6.60) does not run on windows server 2003. Altough Windows Server 2007 is coming up, the 2003 version is still widely used. This bug forces me to use Windows 2000 Server Edition, which is more than 7 years old.

We have it running on our W2k3 system. Did you install DX9? That may be the problem.

That's great to hear! I think I did install Direct X, but i'm not too sure. As someone else got the same problem I didn't do much testing.
Look here: http://www.coniserver.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=UBB13&Number=790312
I currently hdon't have a Windows 2003 machine to test, but if it works for you I don't see why it couldn't work for me.

Okay, I was able to test Windows Server 2003 now. Indeed, it does work, BUT only if you do not install the service pack 2. I did not install service pack 1, but it definitely works without any service pack! DirectX 9 has to be installed, I'm not quite sure whether "hardware acceleration" has to be set to "full" though. After activating 3D acceleration (dxdiag) and "hardware acceleration" you can even play as a client on the server. To my surprise, the onboard SIS Mirage 1 chip works quite okay
