Thats right, 1.8 is finally out.

frontline2.com server has been updated to the full release.

Check the downloads page for download information!

FILE MIRRORS: If you can Mirror the files please let us know by posting a reply to this thread, or toss a link up in #frontline on irc.gamesurge.net !! (we don't have any mirrors at the moment, due to the amount of time that's passed!)

To settle some confusion: 1.8 is NOT Defiance.

VERSION INFORMATION

• Updated for Steam Compatibility


• added Defiance Hitoutput


• cl_hitoutput 0 = off


• cl_hitoutput 1 = screen & console


• cl_hitoutput 2 = screen only


• cl_hitoutput 3 = console only


• HLTV / First Person Spectator


• Prone Bug Fixed (no more door prone or hiding in capture points)


• Hit-Boxes Fixed; Player models are edited 1.1 and 1.3a hybrid player models with 9way blending removed.


• Reduced the amount of time it takes for bullet spread to return to center


• accuracy improved for all guns a little (has to do with the helmet system)


• Re-Wrote bullet fly-by code, the "whiz" sound only happens now when a bullet passes by your head.


• made all the menus transparent and enabled the observer "move around" system


• moved joins and "remaining health of killer" into the talk area so it shows up in steam


• changed "remaining health of killer" to say "remaining health of <killername>"


• remaining health message doesn't come up if you kill yourself in any fashion (suicide, grenade, ...)


• changed the menu system so you can change class/choose weapons at the end of a round


• added armor to team say and radio messages


• round respawn bug fixed, you cannot die if you respawn at end of round


• added additional defiance awards: Best Sniper, Best Recon/Assault/Support, and Grenade Diver


• added defiance capturing sound


• replaced most of the weapon models with frontline tactics weapon models (the ones that some of the defiance versions were based off of)


• re-enabled duck jumping. pink hated it, i like it, because it becomes a pain to jump on boxes sometimes. - especially when there's limited headroom.


• re-wrote the stamina a bit; doesn't use messages anymore, instead sends the stamina value to the client via regular netcode updates; moved the stamina removal code from the server-side player object into player movement shared object so that stamina is removed _after_ the player makes the jump. The net effect is that each jump is a little higher than it used to be.


• players capturing can see the enemy on the radar


• put defiance m4 skin on the m4 model


• changed grenade explosion function. Now checks around the players box to see if the player can be hit (no more hiding behind table legs!!)


• added secondary attack to mk23 and beretta to toggle between automatic and semi-automatic (like this version_info.txt says way down below for v0.43)


• added SOME of the HLTV overviews, the rest will follow eventually
