Beta changelog
Current differences between Fortress Forever 2.46 and the Steam beta version:
- Fixed spectators not getting their kills/deaths/fortpoints reset on restart round
- Fixed getting a frag added when using the 'spectate' console command (it used to be to compensate for the -1 frag from suiciding)
- Fixed grenades disappearing after falling too far
- Lowered the hard cap from 180% to 171%
- Fixed flags getting stuck in ceilings
- Added support for separate collision and touch bounds for info_ff_scripts. The sizes are now controlled by Lua functions:
+ <entity_name>:gettouchsizes( mins, maxs ) passes min and max vectors by reference for the function to alter in place
+ <entity_name>:getphysicssizes( mins, maxs ) passes min and max vectors by reference for the function to alter in place
+ <entity_name>:getbloatsize() expects a float return value, uses the value to inflate the touch bounding box (default bloat is 12)
- Flag touch bounds have been decreased somewhat significantly: touch height is now ~65% of flag height, and touch width is now ~100% of flag width (flag touch bounds used to be larger than the flag itself in both dimensions)
- Added different kill icons for unbounced rails, single bounced rails, and double bounced rails
- Added airshot detection
* Airshots show in the console like so: player killed player with weapon (airshot)
* Airshots are logged to file like so: "player<id><steamid><team>" killed "player<id><steamid><team>" with "weapon" (modifier "airshot")
+ The (modifier "") string only gets added if there actually was an airshot, otherwise the entire parenthetical is absent from the line
- Fixed ff_training not showing map loading info when launched from the main menu
- Allowed the speedometer to show while spectating someone
- Added a middle bhop cap - when you are over it, reduce speed by more. Currently set to 1.55 speed (620 for scout) and it has a lower pcfactor (0.3 rather than 0.65). This means downtrimping is good for one jump and reduces successive conc skim jumps without reducing the hard cap too much
- Slimmed down the number of maps included with FF
- Fixed ff_restartround resetting twice when called with 0 prematch time
- Made 0 prematch the default when using ff_restartround without a parameter (ff_setprematch is better for cases where you just want to add prematch)
- Removed the single shotgun from the hwguy, medic, and pyro (see https://github.com/fortressforever/f...ever/issues/82)
- Improved base_shutdown.lua
- Add built-in support for trigger-based buttons (blue_security_trigger/red_security_trigger)
- Add built-in support for Lua-defined security shutdown length (SECURITY_LENGTH)
- Add built-in support for turning on/off lights, brushes, trigger_ff_clips, and trigger_hurts
- Add some helpful team-oriented trigger definitions in base_teamplay.lua
- Add hud_fastswitch and hud_weaponselect to the Fortress Options "HUD" section
- Revert back to the 2.4 menu background because it was pretty cool
- Remove the map guide menu and make the Flythrough button go directly to the flythrough
- Remove the objective icon on the flag for defenders in IvD/AvD maps (it always points to the cap point that needs to be defended instead)
- Remove nailgun from sniper
- Make the sniper rifle use nails to avoid shared ammo between sniper rifle/autorifle
- Fix unicode character support in VGUI/HUD elements
- Add Spanish translation by VMX and Firefox11
- Add (incomplete) Russian localization by Gordon
- Add Portuguese (BR) translation by Gemini Saga
- Improve HUD font: add Latin-1 Supplement and other missing chars (adds things like custom accented chars, #, &, $, ~, etc)
- Revert all IvD maps that used the time-limited-round-based system to the default IvD system (only switch teams after all caps have been captured)
- Add a timer on the HUD that reflects how long security is down for on all security maps
- Fix materials/ff/ff08_sign_up_green material using the yellow texture instead of the green one
- Fixed the glass material in ff_dm
- Changed the team names in ff_dm to something more appropriate
- Fix conc speed being limited for too long after using a jump pad (https://github.com/fortressforever/f...ever/issues/80)
- Added sparks/dust to the feet of rampsliders (cl_rampslidefx cvar for toggling the effects on/off, and cl_rampslidefx_* cvars for controlling how it looks/behaves)
- Generate <classname>.cfg/userconfig.cfg files at runtime if they don't exist
- Add hud_weaponselect cvar (briefly shows the weapon select menu whenever switching weapons when hud_fastswitch is enabled; defaulted to enabled)
- Default hud_fastswitch to 1
- Remove the map guide menu as it has never been utilized
- Make HH explosive grenades (frag/mirv) work like they do in TFC (HHing a gren now simply adds 1000 speed in the direction that you're currently moving (or 950 speed straight up if you're not moving at all)
- Cap jump pad + conc horiz and vert speed separately
- Set jump pad horiz boost to 768 (was 1024 in 2.46)
- Optimise Lua HUD network messages (send a number ID over the network rather than a string)
