[/LIST] [B]Gameplay Balance:[/B] [LIST] [*]Jumpgun has been removed from scout whilst it's design is reworked. Thanks for all your feedback on this! [*]All weapons now deploy faster. This means switching weapons is faster and more responsive. [*]MIRV initial explosion damage reduced from 180 to 145, this now matches normal grenades and mirvlets. [/LIST] [B]Other Improvements:[/B] [LIST] [*]Kill Assists have been implemented. [*]Deathnotice self-highlighting has been improved and defaulted on. [*]Add new hints (Thanks NeoNL!)

[*]Fixed flag trails performance issues [LIST] [*]Fixed stutter when the flag returns after it is capped [*]Added cvar cl_spritetrail_maxlength that controls the max length of a sprite trail (once exceeded, the trail will start over from its parent's current origin) [*]Made it so trails are not calculated at all client-side if they are disabled by their respective cvars [/LIST] [/LIST] [B]Lua Improvements:[/B] [LIST] [*]Add basic support for spawning entities through Lua [LIST] [*]Not very well tested, but is able to spawn info_ff_scripts like flags and have them work like normal [*]Added baseentity:SetName(string name) [*]Added global function SpawnEntity(string entity_class_name, string entity_name) that returns the entity spawned or nil if unsuccessful (example: `local entity = SpawnEntity("info_ff_script", "red_flag")`) [*]Added global function SpawnEntity(string entity_class_name) that returns the entity spawned or nil if unsuccessful (example: `local entity = SpawnEntity("info_ff_script")`) [/LIST] [*]Add basic support for free-for-all teams [LIST] [*]Lua can set a team as a free-for-all team by doing `GetTeam(Team.kBlue):SetFFA(true)` [/LIST] [*]Add Lua getters for various InfoFFScript settings [LIST] [*]infoscript:GetModel() returns the string path of the current model [*]infoscript:GetStartOrigin() returns the Vector that the infoscript will spawn at when returned [*]infoscript:GetStartAngles() returns the QAngles that the infoscript will spawn with when returned [/LIST] [*]Improve Lua angle/vectors a bit [LIST] [*]Add player:GetEyeAngles() [*]Add __tostring() implementations for Vector and QAngle classes [*]Convert VectorAngles and AngleVectors to use Lua-style return values rather than C++ style pass-by-reference parameters. Example usage of the new functions: local eye_angles = player:GetEyeAngles() local forward, right, up = AngleVectors(eye_angles) local angles = VectorAngles(forward) assert(angles == eye_angles) [/LIST] [/LIST] We had a lot of fun testing the pyro, but it's sure to need some tweaks after release.
