only a few questions, if you would be so kind..
Are all the map changes taking place in maps with the same name as the originals? i.e., will some people have the changes, and some will not? And how, if at all, will this affect gameplay?
2) "strings.tdb with ACK changes (both english and german)" - please expound?

the map changes affect the origonal maps, yes.
What will happen is that if the server has the map, the changes take effect for all clients. Otherwise, they dont.
There may be some slight effects if the client has the changes and the server doesnt or vice versa but they wont affect gameplay.
As for languages, the core patch 1 installer will install a language specific file (in fact, it will replace always.dbs from your language with a new one).
This language specific file will currently be installed for english, french and german (other languages will remain untouched).
It contains the C4 and beacon countdown mods.
It will contain the new loadscreens when they are completed.
And it contains a new strings.tdb file. This new strings.tdb file contains various string changes/fixes to fix various things (e.g. it makes "under attack" sounds for some buildings work)

Quick Update. Have tested the CP client beta, works well so far. Got one minor issue that I have to solve with jonwil. A soon as this is fixed, and as soon as Crimson can create a beta signup page, the open beta test for Core Patch 1 will go live.
I'm beginning to prepare the Server Side (beta) installer. Not sure about it yet, but maybe someone with knowledge of a installer scripting language (installshield, inno installer etc) wants to help me on this one.. lots of possible options to choose in this one (server side mod to choose, what versions of mix maps to install etc).

will the countdown stuff stop when the object making the sound is disarmed...
cause those current countdown sounds annoy me cause they carry on regardless of whether the beacon/c4 is still there anymore...

No. Thats a bug that can't be solved.
if u disamr it the second the 10Sel Contdown starts, it will go on untill zero.

Anything can be solved... If you can add new commands to the console, you can hook a sound to an object and kill the sound when it disappears, might take years, but still possible 
I just wanna know because if CP1 has this in, I want to be able to disable it, possibly by unselecting the option on an installer, but so far I've only heard of options on the installer for the server-side CP.
I don't actually like the sounds myself and I think it gives an unfair advantage. Instead of "wtf? timed c4  ", they know its there cause they can hear it, so the amusement isn't there anymore ^^. Also it annoys me when you've got like 3 countdown sounds running and theres no beacons because they've all been disarmed 
So my question:
Are these countdown sounds optional?
Sounds great so far 
PS: I had no problem reading wot Laeubi said:

If you disarm a beacon just as the countdown starts, it will go on until it reaches zero

Common Sense is all that's required

No, but you can possibly disable them by extracting your orginals from always.dat to your data dir, overruling the new files in always.dbs.

And you are such a retard.
|
And yes, there is a difference. Anyone who can't spell "you" and such shouldn't even try to use english.
|
And as I'm sure YOU can understand german quite well, I'll next time reply in german, as my first language so even YOU understand what I try to express in my ugly, annoing second language englisch. :rolleyes:
