    Here, during the worldcup finals, i uploaded an updated version of the server. You can check the humongous changelog on the download's page.

    I'll just sum that up for you:


    • Server side, there were a lot of changes, some of which are not easy to see for the enduser
    • Client side, the client was improved slighlty graphically and there are of course the new moves given by the event pokémons. Celebi with Nasty Plot, and the legendary dogs.

    This update was mostly centered on the server, with a whole new database system using SQL - That will avoid eating up all RAMs for big servers, and ease the use of server data for websites, and an option to run the server without a window, in background with no graphical interface - very useful for servers hosted on linux computers. That feature was singlehandedly done by TheUnownCylon, from Pokebox. Aside from that, a lot of script functions and mechanic fixes were done, as well as a crash fix.

    I hope next update will bring more changes for the normal enduser, like multiple battles allowed, damage calculator integrated, GUI totally redone, sounds coming back or battle replays. Of course there won't be all those updates at the same time!

    Maybe i'll also start working on older gens. But in real life i'm kind of busy, just saying.

    One last thing: Ladder was reset and rated battles are only possible through Find Battle, as stated in this thread. This was because of abuse of some high ranked players. I hope you understand.

    Awesome.
    The idea about the rated battles only from ladder is great.

    Yeah, I thought that was a bit redundant myself. However, I then asked myself a question that I couldn't answer, so I'm asking it here instead: Is the "Rated only by Find Battle" thing only on the Beta Server or is it forced on all servers? I'm guessing it is the former, but I may be wrong.
    If it is the former, then enable ladder will still be needed for other servers.

    Well yes it'll be forced for other servers too, for now.

    Shame the ladder has been reset but I think it's for the best since the old system was getting abused.

    Home page, downloads. There's a fast link "Client: Windows" too.

    The sim has most definitely seen some drastic changes, and I like what I see.
