GENERAL

This patch brings your v0.89 Parsley build up to v0.9. It's the first patch of the Ginger generation and primarily focuses on a new map and a fresh visual theme (sci-fi/tech). V0.9 also brings some new features and fixes that were requested by the community, including some experimental multi display stuff. More details below.


FIXES

FIX_01 - ACCIDENTALLY LAUNCHING THE SERVER CONFIG VIEW
If you configured a Bootcamp (bot) match and clicked NEXT in the mutator menu, it took you to the listen server configuration view. This should no longer happen.


NEW FEATURES

FTR_01 - SCI-FI/TECH THEME
A new visual theme (sci-fi tech based) that comes with a bazillion of new assets for the game.

FTR_02 - 14 NEW MAP: DEKK V0.7
DEKK introduces our freshly designed sci-fi theme: The map is based on an over a decade old layout introduced by UT, now reincarnated with clean, yet highly refined/accentuated 3D assets, keeping visual clarity and simplicity in mind.

When testing the map, please keep in mind that it's v0.7 (i.e. you may still encounter some collision issues and/or other "unusual occurences").

FTR_03 - DISABLE ON-SCREEN LOG
You are an anti-social individual who doesn't care about team-play and you don't want to talk to anyone? You feel distracted by the on-screen log? This feature is for you: "On-Screen log disable" was added to the game options.
Yes, this feature was indeed requested more than once...

FTR_04 - ADJUSTABLE HEALTH WARNING
If you think that the current HUD is too subtle about how low your health stauts is, you can now set a limit where the health indicator starts to flash in the game options.

FTR_04 - MULTI SCREEN SUPPORT (EXPERIMENTAL)
Yes, we had quite a few requests about advanced multi screen support and we decided to look into it. This whole stuff is still highly experimental, but if you were one of the users waiting for that feature, you may want to try to type "SetHudDimensions [xValue] [yValue]" to distribute the display of the HUD onto your multi-monitor setup.

EXAMPLE: If you have three screems standing side by side and assuming that all three are set to the same resolution, type: "SetHudDimension 3 1" to allign the HUD to the screen in the middle.


CHANGES

CHG_01 - INTRO DISPLAY
Starting a new map now always brings up the name of the map and its location centered on the screen in big letters. Press left to skip this and to enter the pre-match lobby.

NEW FEATURES

FTR_01 - WEAPON PRIORITIES MENU
You can now edit the weapon priorities to your personal preference in Options -> Game -> Weapon Priority. So when you switch (or auto-switch) to "best weapon", it'll bring up the weapon you've given the highest priority.

FTR_02 - HITMARKER AND HITMARKER EDITOR
We not only added audio and visual hitmarkers to the game, but also implemented an editor that allows you to customize them to your own preferences. It works a lot like the crosshair editor. You may also choose from a big variety of hitmarker sounds. Known bug: Sometimes the hitmarker effect displays on err. This'll be fixed soon.



CHANGES

CHG_01 - VIOLATOR (ASSAULT RIFLE) BALANCING
While the fire rate of the Violator's primary fire was increased by 10%, its damage per projectile was reduced by from 23 to 20. The fire rate of the Violator's secondary fire was reduced by ~6%. Initial pick-up ammo count for the Violator was raised from 40 to 45. Violator SFX were also reworked to give it more of an own acoustic character (i.e. to differentiate it further from the Stingray).

CHG_02 - HELLRAISER (NUKE WEAPON) AUDIO OVERHAUL
The SFX for the Hellraiser were completely reworked. The weapon is now considered final.

CHG_03 - CERBERUS (ROCKET LAUNCHER) CHANGES
The travel speed for standard projectiles (rockets) was lowered by 20%, while the speed for guided missiles (missiles fired once a vehicle is locked on) will now accelerate from the new standard speed to 20% above the original maximum speed. The lock-in process (acquiring targets) for the guided missiles was reduced from 1.5 to 1.0 seconds. Damage was increased from 85 to 100. Maximum ammo count was reduced from 25 to 20.

CHG_04 - WALL DODGE Z-VELOCITY RESET
The negative Z-velocity (gravity) used to be carried over through all wall dodges, so it was one downward movement over a sequence of wall dodges. Z-velocity now gets reset with every wall dodge which allows for longer wall dodge sequences.

CHG_05 - WEAPON SWITCH TIMES
Equip and put down times for all weapons was decreased by another ~15%.



FIXES

FIX_01 - BANSHEE (HOVER POD) QUICK DESCEND
The "quick descend" feature of the Banshee that allowed you to squash enemies underneath the vehicle was accidentally removed from the alt-fire key (default: right mouse button) with the last patch. This was fixed.

FIX_02 - RAVAGER (OMNI DRILL) FIXES
Due to flawed normal textures on the Ravager, it got wrongly lit. This was fixed. The weapon also got new sounds for equip, lower and the drill running. Its implementation is still not final though (i.e. it still doesn't work as intended). Full functionality will come with 0.85.
