We had a good weekend, lots of people downloaded HL2CTF Beta 1.4 and we got to play with a lot of you over the weekend. We learned an important lesson too: Never release an update on the same day as a Steam update! Most of the problems with the Steam update appear to be fixed now, and we're going full steam ahead (no pun intended)!

We've put together a small update to make HL2CTF even better. This is a SERVER-SIDE ONLY update, players do not need to apply this update. This updates will fix some of the problems that servers have been having as well as add some new items, and is available from our download mirror.

What's new in Beta 1.41?
-----------------------------

Features/Tweaks:

• Description of game mode objectives now displayed when players join a server


• CTF events now use Half-Life Standard Log Format Specification


• Players no longer spawn with combine ball ammo in Arena and CaptureStrike modes


• Fixed spectator chase cam


• Improved spectator movement


• Changed default ctf_capturestrike_timelimit to 4


• Added ability to vote on game mode using "gamemodevote"


• Added cvar for servers to disable physics props


• Added cvar to mute spectator chat to non-spectators


• Always mute dead player's chat to living players in CaptureStrike mode


• Allow dead players in CaptureStrike mode to use roaming spectator


• Modified default server config

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed possible crash from chat macro use


• Fixed voting hud showing incorrectly


• Fixed ctf_enablechatmacros cvar not working in some cases

Again, this is a server-side update only! You do not need to download this update unless you are running a server.
