Changelog 2.2.1¶

Visuals:¶

• new Nexus skin - the old one had too much red and was confusing in team matches
• back to original Carni model (2.1's was badly centered when walking and became harder to hit)
• two new crosshairs, added crosshair alpha setting to menu
• new shotgun model
• new MG model
• new armor/health models and HUD (thanks to tZork)
• cells now stand on the floor instead of floating in the air for consistency
• MG muzzle flash now attached th the player, won't lag behind him
• CTF flag now attached to the player, won't lag behind him
• scr_stipple: if v_psycho doesn't hurt your eyes enough, try this: r_showsurfaces 1; vid_vsync 1; scr_stipple 18; vid_restart
• tChr's grenade bounce sounds
• two new crosshair images

Features for players:¶

• support for multiple campaigns
• con_closeontoggleconsole: for our Americans who want to bind the console to `, also set this so you can close the console with the key again
• replaced single-image + wav video capture by AVI video capture
• Nex settings for minstagib and regular gameplay now have separate cvars
• FTEQW compatibility (FTEQW still crashes on the .spr files but after deleting them it will work)
• event log now contains chat bubble status to log typekills
• separate chat area; voting also appears there for better visibility
• new chat macro %p - player you last pointed at (that is, whose name was shown)
• auto team selection now chooses the lowest scoring team in case of equal player counts
• the server's map list can be shown using "cmd maplist"
• added support for external server browser bot detection (ping = 0 for bots only)

Features for servers:¶

• g_maplist_selectrandom is now DEPRECATED in favor of g_maplist_shuffle
• g_maplist_shuffle: new method to select maps, this doesn't select the map uniformly, but prefers maps that haven't been played for a while (the value of this cvar tunes this bias a bit, the larger, the higher - so the limit for the cvar value to infinity is unrandomized selection, and the limit for the cvar value to zero is uniformly random selection)
• map list editing commands for the dedicated server console: g_maplist_add, g_maplist_remove and g_maplist_shufflenow

Features for mappers:¶

• ammo/armor pickup amount can now be overridden my mappers
• multiple worldspawns cause very weird log output, catching this error now so mappers have a way to detect it
• added support for Q3 CTF entities
• new entities: func_rain, func_snow
• support for animmap shaders

Changes:¶

• default download speed increased because of large map downloads
• increased Nex reload time for more even weapon balance, also reduced damage slightly
