But on the other hand I updated the crit kill notices thing to work with the engie update. I’d link it on FPSB too but it seems to be down right now. You can still get it off here though.

Oh yes, the comments reminded me that not surprisingly the polycount winners haven’t been announced yet. I’m calling Saturday, any takers?

Nothing much to report, well, maybe except the fact that eyelander demomen REALLY have it easy with all the soldiers that do not switch to their shotgun to take them down.

Also, I’ve made the Direct Hit sound like the Quake 3 rocket launcher. The original sounded like scrap metal banging together so I changed it up a little bit.

Update: Doesn’t warrant an article of it’s own, but I’ve updated those critkill notices too.

Very simple and temporary tutorial.

Riot Shield Mod, using scrapped melee weapon models, when Locally Hosting or Playing as Singelplayer, it has a chance to show up in all games.

Note: While looking through the models myself I found an unused w_didgeridoo.mdl, currently working on a weapon mod to see what that is.

• Demoman Grenade Launcher
• Goosh Goosh Hunter
• Jockey Takes You For A Ride
• Metal Slug Laser Gun
• Pokecenter First Aid Kit
• Row Row Pipebomb
• STALKER Bandit Camp Saferoom

To see how these soundmods work you can check my Youtube account. For the videos. If you don’t want to look through my videos to find them well then here they are alright?

And yes two soundmods are not available for download. The Final Fantasy Fanfare Healing and the WOOP WOOP sound alarm. This is because the WOOP WOOP alarm decided to break for some reason and in game it just plays once and never again. The Final Fantasy one is fine and if people want it I shall upload it.

Next up, another Charger soundpack, this one making the charger echo Leeroy Jenkins famous battlecry across the landscape. This one’s by Jackvancouver.

Install instructions included in the readme file.

That helmet ain't gonna save you.

This one took a bit more time to do than the others, mainly because I’ve never done bendy straps like the ones holding the bars to the padding before.

As always, get it from here, or from FPSB.

Serverside version is here.

Fat got my tongue.

The clientside version can be found here, or at FPSBanana.

The serverside version that is used with the sourcemod equipment manager can be downloaded here.

You wouldn't hit this harmless looking heavy now, would you?

The clientside replacement version is available here or at FPSBanana.

The serverside version that’s used with the sourcemod equipment plugin can be downloaded here.

I’ll post all the update info below, but here’s a few important things I see:

-Sanvich now heals the heavy to full when he taunts, and he can drop it, giving it to other people.
Daed: 75hp/tick, 4 ticks.

-Medic regenerates faster, but having the blutsauger reduces that passive regeneration.
Too bad the blut is bugged right now and it doesn’t inhibit regen properly.

-Grenades and pipes now have a wider explode radius.
This is a bit of a myth. They’re wider in some places, shorter in others. They just made the explosion a sphere instead of a buggy bounding box.

-Spies can’t be seen with the halo anymore.

-Changed idle player check to include spectators & players who haven’t chosen a team (hopefully this means idlers who simply join a server and sit there will be noticed and kicked).

Full update:

Engine

• If the installation is an HLTV relay we allow clients to connect as HLTV clients even if tv_enable is set to false. A recent exploit fix made it such that we ignore the flag indicating that the client is an HLTV client if tv_enable is false, but it is possible that relays won’t have this ConVar set

Additions / Changes

• Backpack improvement
  • Added support for 100 slots in the backpack
  • Backpack can now be sorted by type
  • Multi-selection in the backpack is now done by holding down the Ctrl key
• Alt-fire on the Sandvich now drops sandviches
  • A single sandvich can be dropped at a time. Dropping the sandvich removes it from the Heavy

  • Eating a sandvich using the taunt method now heals a Heavy to full health
  • Dropped sandviches heal 50% of the collector’s health
• Medic regen changes
  • Base regen amount increased from 1/sec to 3/sec
  • Regen amount increase since time of last damage decreased from 3x to 2x
  • End result of above: Old healing scaled from 1/sec to 3/sec based on time since being damaged (maxed out at 10 seconds). New healing scales from 3/sec to 6/sec
• Blutsauger
  • Replaced “No critical hits” negative attribute with “-2 health drained per second on wearer”
  • Health drain stacks on top of the above Medic regen changes, lowering the base regen by 2h/sec
• Added “mp_windifference” server ConVar (default to 0)
  • When set to X, matches will be considered won if a team gets X points ahead of the other team
• Added a “Remember the active weapon between lives” option to the Multiplayer->Advanced options dialog
• Added “Disable weather effects” option to the Multiplayer->Advanced options dialog

  • If set (default), it’ll show non-standard items being carried by the player you’re spectating
• Tournament mode changes
  • New item whitelist allowing tournaments to control what items can be used by players
  • Added “item_whitelist_example.txt”

• Changed idle player check to include spectators & players who haven’t chosen a team

Bug Fixes

• Fixed explosive radius detection using an axially aligned box instead of a sphere
  • Compensated by increasing the radius of grenades, pipes, and rockets to 50% of what they lost at the corners of the OBB
  • Grenades/Pipes radius change: 132->159
  • Rocket radius change: 121->146
  • End result of above: Explosives have had their radius reduced at some angles, and increased at others. Radius is now consistent, angles are now irrelevant
• Fixed Sniper using the reference pose if he has the Huntsman deployed when his team loses
• Fixed Spies speaking their response rules lines after killing a player as the class they were disguised as
• Fixed Medics getting MedicCallerPanels in their HUD for cloaked enemy Spies disguised as their team
• Fixed the Huntsman not firing crit arrows when the Sniper is being CritBoosted
• Fixed being able to fire the Huntsman under water if you jump into the water with the arrow charged
• Added check to prevent clients using the “firstperson” command to get out of thirdperson view while they’re phasing, taunting or control stunned
• Fixed Halo glow effect not being hidden for cloak/disguised enemy Spies
• Fixed wearables not destroying their attached particles when they’re removed
• Fixed several player & viewmodel simulation issues that occurred when the game was paused
• Fixed a DX8-based exploit that allowed modified particle effects to work under sv_pure 2
