V2.4rocks 15:30h   28.02.2007

Version 2.4r (57MB)

Update from 2.4q to 2.4r (21MB)

Changes
Gameplay:
-Fixed issues with new ball spawn technique => might fix all weird bugs (ball dissapearing, goals not counting, David's team not winning etc) So people tell me if something still occurs...
-We RBB (removed ball boost). Can't any longer boost your own team with the ball (gg timeplay)
-Reduced self-volley power by 100 more units

Other:
-Improved bottom radar icons: "me" now has a green dot on it. Keeper icon split up in "other player" and "me" (so ALL "others" now being a donut shape ...mmmh donuts...)
-Improved tooltips in option menu (the hint for the option "trilinear filter" being "enables trilinear filtering" was just so helpful...gg Epic)
-Tooltips stay forever (until you move mouse away)
-Added keeper selection tool after goal: Left Mouse Button toggles "want to spawn as keeper", Right Mouse Button Toggles "Skip Replay". So going back into the own penalty box isn't needed anymore and the new selection overwrites the person in the box. To avoid interferences you can not any longer kick or catch the ball in the celebrating phase
-Replays skip with 50%+ votes
-Aftergoal-HUD cleared up. Less text. New Goal console message that contains all info now. Move replay and skip info to the bottom right corner (so it won't overlap the Chat) and others. Replaced U-Logo in Spectator+Replay-HUD
-No more replay skip in ShortWaitTime-replays
-Team Color Trail also changes colour after deflect, so you don't see a red ball going out and respawning at the red goal

Maps:
-Blocko and Tribun Lighting less blinding
-Fixed SmallcubeSE roof (fully flat now)
-More grass for you addicts on November (can be disabled with foliage option) - Can't get on top of the fence anymore
-Added new ballspawn method to Smallcube
-Curve - Fixed Camera track going through geometry - Reduced ambient sound volume a bit - Player's can't reach the top of the map anymore - Ball shouldn't get stuck in corner of goal anymore
-Smallplatform - New side platforms, new texturing

Bugs:

-Sometimes one spectator camera on DB-Smallplatform is being weird
-2nd ball might show thru in replays sometimes (please tell us if you can reproduce it)
-Sometimes you see no radars and need to restart Deathball to fix it
-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

You're really cranking them out now. I'm impressed.

It will stop now though, because Goldy is back to university with few DB time.
