V2.4pwn 13:57h   11.01.2007

Download Update (1,6MB zip) (from 2.4o  to 2.4p)
unzip it to \ut2004\deathball\system\

Changes
Gameplay:
-Hammer bug fixed...although we just got used to it :'(
-Volleys are now easier to hit - The hit cone stays in the air for 0.15 seconds (150 ping). Hint: Try to hit a bit earlier to have a greater chance of hitting the ball
-Hammer bug fixed (Goldy says: "99.995% fixed")
-Self volleys get slowed down by 200 power units (about 13km/h)
-Bounce angle fixed - It's now 225° for real
-Hammer bug fixed (again 'cuz it sounds so nice)
-When you get hit as ballcarrier there will now be a real shake of your view
-Hammer bug fixed (let's not hope for the 0.005% case then)

Other:
-Fixed the bug where the 1 man team never spawns at the ball
-Announcer has one more "goal" sound and now says "last minute" instead of "1 minute left"

ps: Hammer bug fixed (well if it happens though, tell us and see crying :'( )

Bugs:
-Replays still laggy online
-Fire trail not yet showing in replays (bug only occurs in multiplayer)
-Server often crashes during map change when replays were shown
-Bots are not yet working properly with 2.4 (they still play with 2.3 logic and fail big time)
-Match time sometimes wrong at the end
-November goal exploit that I won't spoil here until it's fixed

Spawns are still fucked for the lone blue player. Not sure what triggers it this time but it was a 1v1, I was blue and occasionally red would spawn at the ball after they had scored.

The volley hitting thingy takes some getting used to. I think I missed it, then (what seems like) half a second later it decides to volley. A bit disconcerting. \o/ Still, good for HPBs and the slow of thinking (such as myself).

Am I misreading it or does it say that the view should shake while charging a hard shot? I'm not seeing that. Edit: or is it just talking about after being hit? dunno.

No bug so far! (okay, so a 10 minute bash isn't a good test) :D
