We updated a few maps (kingdom, kingpin, raiders, casa) but Sanctuary hasn't changed. Bar-B-Q is inactive since a few years.

Q) Questions
A- Answers
Q) How does FS plan to release the server files for server admins? just a new .zip with all the new patched files? or as an executable that auto updates?
A- The servers will have their special updater executable file that will run in console mode.
Q) Will we still be able to compile our own 4.2 server code and add features currently available for 4.1 code such as the IP-2-Location patch or additional exploit patches?
A- Yes, look at my github account where is the source code of the engine we will be maintaining for Urban Terror 4.2 (
here). When updating the server it'll ask you if you want to install/update the "official" engine or continue to use your own.
Q) Will this update work properly for both client and servers this time around? I.E. will 4.1 and 4.1.1 users be prevented from connecting to a 4.2 server and notified to upgrade?
A- Yes. You won't be able to connect to 4.2.x servers with older versions. Also you won't be able to connect to a server that has a newer/older version of 4.2 and it'll ask you to update your game.
Q) Although bots are not officially support, is their any knowledge of them to be known to work with 4.2, or to be broken in 4.2?
A- We didn't work on the bots for 4.2. They might be still as unstable as they are in 4.1. I hope someday we will get some time to fix them, but atm it's not our #1 priority.
Q) will the windows installer work like a normal installer (i.e. you choose where you wish the files to be installed too) or will it be similar to 4.1.1 were it just extracts the game files to the directory the executable is in.
A- You'll know more about that when 4.2 will be released!
Q) will the auto-updater be able to update the 4.2 to UrT HD once it's out?
A- Nope
Q) What about iKalizer ?
A- 4.2 works like a charm with Mitsu build
