Version/2.9.x

Script version: Battery

Version 2.9.0

Initial release: August 13, 2016

Features

• Linux client and server, including easy installation using LGSM
• Building upgrades are now split into their own script definitions which allows values to be overridden when a building upgrades. For example turret damage can now be set when it is upgraded.
• Removed various code restrictions that meant only turrets could be upgraded. This means that new building upgrade definitions are now a possibility.
• Maximum carcass health is now defined in scripts, defaults to vehicle health.
• Concussion grenades re-added.
• Resource income now displays total income from all captured refineries and flags without using averaging; this should make it easier to notice when your income changes without random fluctuations. Resource deductions will display as and when they occur.
• Resources and wages will now display as rounded figures. This helps to make sure all the information stays visible without overlapping or going off-screen.
• Removed hardcoded layout for hud ammo indicator.
• Standing near an unbuilt refinery point shows a hint that you have to move away.

Bugfixes

• Made walls placable in Hammer.
• Fixed the bug causing players to spawn in Barracks facing East; players will now spawn facing the nearest exit.
• Fixed a bug where an engineer could place small walls even though they hit their limit.
• Fixed persistent wall ghosts when holstering engineer tool.
• Fixed a bug where the start position of a wall would be the map origin, meaning players would be unable to place a wall until they right clicked.
• Engineer recycling no longer gives more resources when recycling without repair upgrade.
• Turrets upgrade instantly after turret upgrade research.
• Fixed scout class being named assault at the end of a round.
• Removed unused emp_sv_refinery_interval cvar.
• Made default class on start of game engineer instead of scout.
• Fixed guard order drawing outline with an extra side.
• Fixed gui images becoming blurry on low graphics settings.
• Intro video has been fixed.
• Hints should no longer show when inside a vehicle; destroyed vehicles show their own hint.
• Engineer buildables no longer block building placement for commander.
• Fixed news panel in menu.
