Pyro Overhaul
Pyro now has a Jetpack - Hold attack2 to use.
Also prevents 25% fall damage if used whilst hitting the floor
Burn levels have been reworked.
Afterburn damage-over-time has been removed.
Burn levels now increase damage from pyro weapons instead:
Flamethrower (18 -> 20 -> 22)
Incendiary cannon (85 -> 95 -> 105)
Napalmlets (2 -> 3 -> 4)
Burn levels no longer require different weapons:
Flamethrower increases burn level every 5 hits
Napalm grenade increases burn level every 10 ticks
Incendiary cannon increases burn level every 1 hit (provided they are already on fire)
The Incendiary cannon no longer sets players on fire - you must light them with a flamethrower or napalm grenade first.
Flamethrower
Flamethrower self-push has been removed
Flamethrower damage has been increased from 16 to 18
Flamethrower range has been increased by 10%
Incendiary cannon
Incendiary cannon base damage increased from 55 to 65
Incendiary cannon jumping now does less self-damage to the pyro
Incendiary cannon fire rate increased from 1.2sec -> 0.6sec
Incendiary cannon now has a clip of 5
Napalm grenades improvements
Number of napalmlets increased from 8 to 9
Napalmlets are now more evenly spread over the area for more reliable area denial
Napalmlet burn height increased from 40 to 70 (it was previously possible to jump through a napalm field without getting hurt)
Napalmlets do damage more regularly now, so jumping through napalm will hurt you much more than before
Pyro rocket stock raised from 20 to 25
Pyro class interactions:
Scout, Medic and Spy extinguish their flames much faster than other classes
HW Overpressure extinguishes flames of himself and those around him
Pyro is still immune to being set on fire by other pyros.
Gameplay Balance
Jumpgun has been removed from scout whilst it's design is reworked. Thanks for all your feedback on this!
All weapons now deploy faster. This means switching weapons is faster and more responsive.
MIRV initial explosion damage reduced from 180 to 145, this now matches normal grenades and mirvlets.
Other Improvements
Kill Assists have been implemented.
Deathnotice self-highlighting has been improved and defaulted on.
Add new hints (Thanks NeoNL!)
Bug Fixes
Fixed projectiles blocking hitscan weapons
Notably, nailguns against SGs and HWGuy will no longer block their bullets.
Flamethrowers will also now work against nailgunning players
Fix local weapon sounds from playing twice on a high ping (e.g. deploy sound)
Fix weapon specific crosshairs for the AC/RPG/Tranq
Fixed the soldier 3rd-person RPG pose so it now points to where the rocket will travel. (Thanks WillWow_mc!)
Fixed flag trails performance issues
Fixed stutter when the flag returns after it is capped
Added cvar cl_spritetrail_maxlength that controls the max length of a sprite trail (once exceeded, the trail will start over from its parent's current origin)
Made it so trails are not calculated at all client-side if they are disabled by their respective cvars
Lua Improvements
Add basic support for spawning entities through Lua
Not very well tested, but is able to spawn info_ff_scripts like flags and have them work like normal
Added baseentity:SetName(string name)
Added global function SpawnEntity(string entity_class_name, string entity_name) that returns the entity spawned or nil if unsuccessful (example: `local entity = SpawnEntity("info_ff_script", "red_flag")`)
Added global function SpawnEntity(string entity_class_name) that returns the entity spawned or nil if unsuccessful (example: `local entity = SpawnEntity("info_ff_script")`)
Add basic support for free-for-all teams
Lua can set a team as a free-for-all team by doing `GetTeam(Team.kBlue):SetFFA(true)`
Add Lua getters for various InfoFFScript settings
infoscript:GetModel() returns the string path of the current model
infoscript:GetStartOrigin() returns the Vector that the infoscript will spawn at when returned
infoscript:GetStartAngles() returns the QAngles that the infoscript will spawn with when returned
Improve Lua angle/vectors a bit
Add player:GetEyeAngles()
Add __tostring() implementations for Vector and QAngle classes
Convert VectorAngles and AngleVectors to use Lua-style return values rather than C++ style pass-by-reference parameters. Example usage of the new functions:
local eye_angles = player:GetEyeAngles()
local forward, right, up = AngleVectors(eye_angles)
local angles = VectorAngles(forward)
assert(angles == eye_angles)
