Quake Live Update v1069 + Gibs! (128 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by xou @ 10:12 CDT, 7 June 2016 - iMsg

The Quake Live Update v1069 has just been released today. Among a few fixes (hello Elder's fog), the changelog also contains a new addition to the servers that brings us "alternate death effects through workshop".

And at the same time, the "Gibs!" workshop item was just released!

Come and check Quake Live on Discord to congratulate the devs for this new addition.

Here is the complete changelog:

- add server support for alternate death effects through workshop
- fixed inability to look around after issuing a map_restart while paused
- grappling hooks on dead and disconnected players weren't freed, resulting in the hook snapping from player to player
- clientmute now properly mutes team chat
- fixed some random color issues on map rotation error output
- powerups and keys were spawning before the minimum amount of time at map start
- elder: fixed doubled up fog volume
- ironworks: fixed ffa spawns

Reflex Update 0.44.1 - Awards! (63 comments)

( Major News: Reflex)

Posted by entik @ 04:48 CDT, 2 June 2016 - iMsg

The highlights of this update include the addition of combat oriented awards, XP system, and persistent player stats.

Change Log

New Supporter Weapons:
- As voted by the public, we have released two new supporterr Melees: Short Sword and Mjolnir

Added Awards:
- We've added 44 awards which are awarded for doing various cool things in game.
- There's an award screen which you can use to see what they are and which one's you've received.

Added XP system:
- XP is earned by receiving awards. XP is a fun stat which gives you progression for playing Reflex, and allows you to see how long your opponents have played Reflex too. We'd like to attach XP to player drops further down the line.

Added Steam Stats Integration:
- We've added some fun statistics to allow you to track your adventures through Reflex.

UI improvements:
- Added KillFeed with lots of new unique death SVGs
- Added SVGs for each custom melee weapon! You can see this in the weapon rack & the kill feed.
- Added Profile Tile to main screen

Replay editor:
- Added re_setfov & re_setfovlerp -- you can now specify FOV for your key frames.

General Improvements:
- m_advanced_acceleration now handles negative numbers
- cl_country is now flood protected

Bug fixes:
- Fixed spawn issue which was favouring wrong spawn when NO valid spawns were found (really this only happened in test/empty maps)
- Flags should now appear on pickup list in competitive mode

Mapping:
- Added skeleton arm mesh - MAD_JIHAD request

Lua improvements:
- Added Lua var player.weapon[].isAllowed which indicates if you're in a weapon restrictor
- SVGs can now scale in Lua without a huge performance cost
- SVGs can now be blurred (they are converted to single colour in the progress)
- Exposed nvgLineHeight()
- Added weaponDefinitions table so you don't need a player to get weapon name & colours
- Added global steamId of local player
- Large avatar of local player is now available

Gameplay (changes pulled from experimental to core):
- Ramp fix
- Melee trace range 64 -> 80 units
- Melee trace radius 8 -> 12 units
- Rocket explosion radius 96 -> 112 units
- Spawn LOS check angle 120 -> 360 degrees
- Spawn LOS distance 768 -> 1000 units

Gameplay changes:
- Casual TDM is reduced from 15 to 10 minutes
- Weapon respawn is now 25 seconds in competitive TDM mode

Experimental changes:
- Plasma cell speed changed from 3000ups -> 1500ups
- Plasma cell damage changed from 12 -> 15
- Shotgun reload changed from 1000ms to 800ms
- Flag drag, over 640 ups your speed will be limited with flag. After feedback here :)
- Reverted previous IC changes, going to try something else in the future.
