	Yes, it would be nice to join an RTS fragfest...unfortunately, there don't seem to be any RTS servers up and running at the moment. The Barrysworld one is now an NIQ mod server and both the Telefragged and Terrafusion ones seem to be down as well (probably due to lack of support). So it seems RTS for q2 is...um...dead. If someone would like to get a RTS fragfest going by starting a server, please let us know so we can set it up....otherwise, it looks like you'll all be waiting until q3arena comes out before you can play our mod again :( In other news, has anyone seen Kingpin's "Bagman" DM mod? It's very similar in concept to RTS; I guess we're on the right track then with our ideas for a kick ass mod (just wait to see what we have in store for the q3arena version!)
	[29.05.99] rts in the press - q3a "rts" progress - updated by MangledMan
	It seems that RTS is June's Mod of the Month in PC Gamer mag. So all of you people out there who were using their really slow modem connections as an excuse for not downloading RTS, you can grab it sans internet. Sorry things have been slow around here lately, but we've been busy with RL crap as well as working on the design for the new q3arena version of RTS (which actually won't even be called RTS anymore). Things are looking to be really cool and thanks to all of your guys' feedback, we've made it so the mod is even easier to play and simpler to figure things out. Throw in a few extra new weapons and modes of play and you've got RTS with a serious kick in the ass!...Now all we need is the actual game to be released :)
	[21.04.99] server down - RTS entity list up - updated by MangledMan
	Unfortunately, due to an overwhelming amount of traffic, our new server at 62.104.35.84:27910 has been closed down. Word is it will be back soon, but for now, it's non-operational. To help ease the pain, we're releasing the entity list for RTS. This should allow all you mappers out there to start making RTS maps. Here's the way this is gonna work: anyone out there who wants grabs the entity list and makes a map; then you mail us to let us know you have a map ready and send us the URL of where we can grab it; we download your map and check it out; when we get a good number of high quality maps, we release a map pak and upload it to all our servers.
	[18.04.99] another server - RTS manual online - updated by MangledMan
	I can't believe it, but we've got ANOTHER server up. In fact, we have an offer for one more as well, but we're holding off for now so that the five servers we do have up keep nice and crowded. For now though, you can also frag your way over to the Krawall server at 62.104.35.84:27910 and get to robbing some gems. By the way, this server is in Germany, so all you people there should get a nice quick connection. To help with all your RTS related problems and to show all of you out there who haven't tried it a more detailed view of what RTS has to offer, we've put the Rob the Strogg manual online. Click here to check it out. By the way, we should be releasing the RTS entity list shortly. This will give all you mappers out there the info you need to start building your own RTS levels.
	[ 17.04.99 ] new server up - MOTW - updated by MangledMan
	Wohoo! Another RTS server has been set up at 155.245.160.213:27920 So go pack it people! Oh, and it case anyone missed it, we were MOTW on Planetquake last week....which is probably why RTS has become so popular all of a sudden :)
	[ 03.04.99 ] rts1.2 is released - updated by mne[MON]ik
	Finally, after a long delay the (hopefully) final version of Rob The Strogg has been released; version 1.2 contains a new map, enhanced code (done by Achim 'Flupp' Stremplat) and lots of fixes. The Terrafusion server already runs the new version at 206.96.221.150:27930 and also one server of the incredibly cool Barrysworld site is running RTS 1.2 now at 194.88.93.11:27818. Fill it up with players, dammit. We decided to split the new version into three parts: the basic pak (~ 4.1mb), the a pak containing the maps (~ 3.2mb) and the third which includes all team communication sounds (~ 1mb). At least the first two paks are absolutely required to play RTS. In case you belong to the group of loyal RTS players, we provide you a RTS 1.0 to 1.2 patch, which is far smaller (~ 1.5mb) Trebz has managed to fix a couple of bugs in ROB, our very own frontend for RTS; he even added a small RTS server ping, tool! Download ROB 1.1 patch here, but you also need to have ROB v1.0 full installed first! Also, just for the fun of it, Warforge has done a tutorial for RTS newbees: download the demo here, it's hillarious. :) If you care, some of us hang around in #tmatrix (EFNET) tonight, so drop by. This is going to be the final version for Q2 since we've realized that though we get lots and lots of positive feedback it has become pretty hard to get people play it on regular basis. However we already concentrate on an improved Q3A version, which will feature many enhancements and cool new ideas. Thanks go out to all people that supported and believed in us, especially the Telefragged team, Barrysworld, Cro, Sluggo, Warforge, Josh and all UK players. In other news: Doyoon Kim left our team, because he wants to quit coding for Q2 and other third party games - at least for the moment. He wants to start his own game. We wish you good luck on that.
	[ 27.03.99 ] 6 new screenshots - rts1.2 pending
	Hmm...as far as I knew, the new version of RTS (1.2) was supposed to be out today, but it seems that mne[MON]ik (who has put together the update) has gone MIA...so, it looks like it'll be a day or two until it gets up on the servers. To compensate, I've added six new screenshots of levels from the new version of RTS. These are previously unreleased shots, so check em out.
	[ 05.03.99 ] New Server - HOF Award - RTS 1.2 Status
	Just a quick update to let you all know that we've now got a really fast server up on BarrysWorld.; the server address is 194.88.93.11:27818. This is big news for all you people across the Atlantic who are playing RTS, as there is now a great sever for you to play on that is available locally (not to mention, I actually get a better ping dialing to it from here in the US than I do dialing to the other servers!) RTS 1.2 progress is happening, but slower than we expected...looks like it'll be a week or two. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, RTS has been added to the Mod Central Hall of Fame...so we thought we'd show off with our little trophy in the sidebar :)
