alpha release for "factions 2.0"

- when starting factions, all players will initially connect to a "global ready room"
- people can test there the classes and weapon setups, and queue for "missions"
- once enough players are queued for a mission, they will be connected to a new server where they can play against each other (4vs4), match making will probably come later as well

I keep getting this error when trying to download part 2: http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/124547/error-downloading-mods/p2
I managed to get the others after constantly stopping and starting the server, however 2 just isn't playing nice

Click on the "+"s and steam will start to download the stuff for you
So yeah we know that but only @Sewlek can fix it
On the tram map, the thing you are meant to guard is missing its model and I can't see anything. Also as assault the guns seems to be missing.
When I was the sniper I could view it's weapons fine.
I did have to ignore everything in my ConsistencyConfig, so maybe that could have something to do with it.
i AM GOING TO TRY AND MAKE A MAP FOR THIS MOD.

note that this version is not really tested atm, there are probably horrible bugs!
we had a test on sunday and the new server structure seemed to work (more or less bug free!), and i decided to keep the servers online for the next days
Im not sure who's to blame more, uwe for their poor mod support or the community for not really bothering, either way it's such a shame to see how ns2 has gone.
