Beta 1.3 is almost ready now, we're finishing up some map work and doing a lot of testing, and it should be ready to go before too much longer.

We've improved performance on a lot of the maps, and made some layout changes that make them even more fun. In addition to maps, here's a short list of some of the improvements in 1.3:

  • Added ready system

  • Added map voting system

  • Added notification of when you were auto-switched to balance teams

  • Added 2 point scoring bonus for stealing the flag from enemy base

  • Added 2 point scoring bonus for assists

  • Added option to allow mouse over to enemy to always be red and mouse over friendly to always be green

  • Team balance doesn't wait until death anymore and always switches lowest scoring player

  • Added flashing text to indicate flag status

  • Players can now set their fov between 90 and 120 using "fov X"

  • Added game events for flag capture, flag return, and assist for plugin authors

  • Fixed longstanding HL2DM underwater sound death bug
