2.37.0

This patch has not yet been released The information in this section is preliminary and subject to change, including the addition and removal of entire sections.

Release: (TBA)

Features

• Grenades and mines make sounds when they bounce against surfaces.
• Added armor impact sounds.
  • Distinct sounds play when a vehicle's armor is damaged, a vehicle's hull is damaged, and when a sticky grenade latches to a tank hull.
  • Different armors can have different sounds, though most armors currently do not.
• Enabled several unused NF taunts.
• Updated the commander view's zoom functionality.
  • Added zoom-to-cursor functionality. The camera will zoom towards the cursor position when enabled. An option will be added to the advanced section of the multiplayer settings menu.
  • Camera smoothing has been updated, updated cvars added to control this.
    • emp_comm_zoom_stepsize - Controls how many units to increment/decrement the target zoom amount per scroll.
    • emp_comm_zoom_speed - Original cvar, original values should still work with updated smoothing method.
  • Added the trigger_portal entity.
    • trigger_portal is an brush entity in the Source base code. It moves touched entity to a target location, changing the model's orientation to match the exit target. It differs from trigger_teleport in that it "reorients physics" and (probably) preserves velocity.

Bugfixes

• Fixed the game phase material proxy not updating correctly.
• Fixed MG turrets continuing to play the shooting sound effect after game end.
• Fixed spectator HUD not displaying observer target info correctly.
• Added warning message when the vehicle customization menu fails to open because your team has no chassis researched.
