Released 31 October 2007

Generic / Misc Stuff

  • Fixed buildable_ondamage and player_ondamage script callbacks.
  • Fixed kPlayers flag for lua entity collection.
  • Fixed normal explosion sound being played on top of buildable explosion sound.
  • Fixed player_spawn callback getting called every time a player executes /kill.
  • Fixed suicide logic from running when player is already dead.
  • Fixed score overflow at 32k by increasing size of networked score variable.
  • Fixed missing voice hud icons.
  • Fixed player:AddHealth function so it returns expected value. This fixes bug where you can pick up all ammo and armor bags if you weren't full health.
  • Fixed display is + negative fort points(ie + -100)
  • Fixed voice column to show chat on/off icons for other teams.
  • Fixed # leaving off the rest of the string in chat messages if not matched to a localized string.
  • Fixed disguise "enemy" to choose a random enemy team.
  • Fixed infection/heal sound to play at appropriate times.
  • Fixed kill/death messages not showing/tracking.
  • Fixed tickrate 66 clamp.
  • Fixed death view slant.
  • Fixed %l displaying wrong team.
  • Fixed medkit hit/infection sounds to play properly.
  • Fixed sentrygun not being able to retarget closer targets
  • Fixed sentrygun to favor all visible players over buildables(if they got a player as a target they will not target a buildable, regardless of distance)
  • Added lua callbacks for player_connected & player_disconnected
  • Added lua SetDamageForce for damageinfo
  • Added DamageInfo:ScaleDamage function, exposed to lua
  • Added player_onkill callback for player suicide so scripts can reject it(implemented in ff_hunted)
  • Added DropToFloor() lua function that takes a base entity.
  • Added client side spawn weapon cvars to control what weapon you equip on spawn.
  • Added small spinup to AC so it no longer shoots immediately(and no heat buildup during spinup)
  • Added buildable & grenade flags to the base trigger class & .fgd
  • Added a progress bar to spy disguising.
  • Changed to no blood shooting disguised teammates when ff is off.
  • Changed AC to reduce HW speed when firing(and not dependent on charge level).
  • Changed grenade and pipe damage radius up a bit
  • Changed water exiting push force up a bit.
  • Changed decals not to draw on players & buildables. Pretty certain this accounted for a majority of client crashes.
  • Changed a bunch cvars people were using as cheats to cheat.
  • Changed backpacks to non solid to fix them from blocking doors/elevators.
  • Changed messagemode and messagemode2 binding to support auto starting the chat message. Ie, bind p "messagemode ^2" will begin the chat mode with ^2 already in the chat box.
