2.27.1

Release: 03/11/2019

Features

  • Reverted the feature that would swap to engineer tool when pressing use on building.
  • Added volume control command for voices "snd_voicevolume".
  • Grenadier bots now aim at the correct position on tanks.
  • Re-added main menu button sounds, courtesy of Universum.
  • Added a max travel time in seconds before missiles will explode.
  • Added an anti-grief feature that blocks 4th vehicle creation within 2 minutes (Vehicle factory only, maps with vehicle spawners are unaffected).
    • This feature is turned on by setting "emp_sv_antigrief_build_vehicles 1" on the server.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug which made players appear to be standing when they first enter a jeep.
  • Fixed an auto-balance bug preventing players from joining specific teams/spectator.
  • Altered the NF jeep collision model to be more accurate.

Map changes

Cyclopean

    • Reduced Stun Grenade's Grenade's damage against buildings (except walls) and infantry by 40%.
    • Increase Sticky & Stun Grenade's damage against walls by 285%. (1 sticky grenade will take down an unbuilt wall, 4 sticky grenade will take down a fully-built wall.)
    • Capacitive Armor will receive 8% more damage from Sticky Grenade and Stun Grenade, this is to ensure that no vehicle except for Commander Vehicle will survive 4 sticky grenades on one side.
