V2.4tasty 11:46h   26.03.2007

Version 2.4t exe (60MB)
Version 2.4t zip (75MB)

Update from 2.4s to 2.4t (10MB)

You have to delete your deathballuser.ini to be able to use the new shot mode.

Changes
Gameplay:
-Plenty Eastereggs (will be explained in detail on the deathball.net news when it's about time :))
-Dead untouched ball spawns in the middle now
-Shake time can't get longer anymore (by getting jumped on your head)
-Magnet added (3rd firemode) - MUST DELETE OLD Deathballuser.ini for it to take effect - You can suck balls and players nearby to you. The radius is 250uu (volley is 290uu). Too fast balls are being distracted, which can also be put to good use (or ab-use).
-3rd firemode produces dump-shot when you own the ball (it can still be done via 2nd fire + 1st fire though)
(Thanks to Toxeen for the sucker sound)

Other:
-Practicemode: goal msg showing only once, assist points are being given
-Menu cursor no longer changing size (requires deletion of deathballuser.ini)
-In host and botmatch menu the "gametype" screen gets skipped
-Goal jingles fade out properly
-Added audio menu option for goal jingles
-Menu Audio sample for crowd noise has a more accurate volume and plays a crowd sound now
-Added a countdown until you can spawn for people who switched teams twice or reconnected to the server
-As spectator you now watch players in First Person View (need no more console command to switch it)
//-As spectator the camera will go back to where it was before the goal
-Removed "ball carrier can't move" option
-Fixed tooltip of shortwaittime option

Maps:
-DB-Curve: Fixed Keeper Spawning
-DB-SmallcubeSE: less shiny surfaces

Here is the way the controls are meant to be used. The best case:



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
-New bot bug: once they used the magnet tool, they won't pass anymore...not giving the ball to anyone. So botplay is totally screwed atm >_<


PS: you get it all for free <3

Well done.

Is the 'bots warping around in practice mode' bug fixed yet? I can't be the only one who's noticed it. It's like they have an invisible translocator sometimes.

I've never seen this :o

We haven't touched bots at all anyway, you know that. I hope they will be touched soon...they need major work.

No magnet, no party!

I agree. It would be cool to have new bots.
