Small auto-conc for HH concs when you dont jump Frag grenade damage up to 145 (patch 1.0 was 180, patch 1.11 was 126). Radius the same.

File:Note.png Note: You can find a copy of the default files in the Default Configs Category of this wiki. Visuals Grenades now have trails and halo's around them Blue and yellow pipes now have trails Player models have been tweaked to increase visibility Grenade models have been tweaked to increase visibility SG models have been tweaked to increase visibility SG now throws out sparks when it's below 50% health New IC model! No more ugly background for build timers New HUD security icons for shutdown style maps Shotgun muzzle flash more visible Many visuals now line up correctly in widescreen modes (damage indicators, Context menus etc) New EMP effect HUD health / armor no longer flashes red when you are hit. It'll only flash red when you are < 25% health to prevent confusion. (instead it flashes white when hit) Grenade 2 timer up a bit so it's not so far down New explosion scorch decal which doesnt make your whole base black. 'on fire' hud HUD redness reduced a lot Cvars for turning off targets + gren trails Demoman grenades hopefully dont bounce of people any more Readded interpolation for projectiles Put in a fix for grenade timers not showing up Teamcolour hud can now go back to normal again Bug Fixes Grenade target timing bug Medkit fix. Should be much easier to heal people with medkit and spanner now, as friendlies are lag predicted now. Dispenser / SG health now displays properly on the HUD even if you are far away. CL_CopyExistingEntity crash fixed at last (!!) SG now tracks properly when built on a slope Death by burning is no longer a suicide Fixed LUA error causing security icons to disappear when players connected Fix for spies being able to sabotage when they're dead Class-specific Changes Scout: Caltrops and radar have been removed. Instead they have a buildable jump pad on +attack2. Jumppad is invincible - det it by double right-tapping. You can only carry one, similar to a detpack. They last 60 seconds before auto-detting. Any team can use them. Players can only use a jump pad once every second, so they dont get multiple triggers. Max conc speed after using the jumppad Reduced conc time for Scout down to Medic level Scouts now don't take fall damage. Sniper: Sniper rifle base damage has been reduced from 42 to 35 Radiotag duration reduced from 60 to 15 seconds. AR damage down from 7 to 5.5 Soldier: RPG damage radius increased slightly (from 108 to 125). RPG reload time decreased from 1.0 to 0.9 seconds. Nail grens tweaked a lot. Soldier special now quickswitches between shotgun and RPG. Demoman: Blue pipe fuse timer dramatically decreased (from 2.5 to 1.1 seconds). Pipetrap explosion radius increased from 125 to 150. Medic: Right click now discards medpacks for teammates to use (thanks mirv). These take 10 cells to use and the medic slowly recharges cells over time. Medpacks last 5 seconds before disappearing so the person you are throwing to has to pick them up soon (you can't leave a supply for your defenders for example) HWGuy: New HW AC System! : Overheat removed (!), rof changed from 0.06-0.12 to 0.05-0.15. cof changed from 0.10-0.15 to 0.05-0.30. New AC clamp system - hold right mouse to clamp, let go to unclamp. Also fires when you are clamping so you can hold right mouse to clamp + fire (you dont have to hold mouse1 and mouse2) Pyro: IC base damage has come down (from 60 to 50). Flamethrower damage increased to 16 from 13 Flamethrower pushforce cap increased to 850 from 550. Pyro special now quickswitches between flamethrower and IC. Pyro vs Pyro now takes 100% damage up from 50% Flamethrower uppush up to 110 from 50. Spy: Spy now has a 'last disguise' option on the menu Knife damage up to 50 from 32. Disguise time halved. Engineer: SG health has come down to 113% from 120% of TFC level(ish). SG bulletpush now works on the ground (thanks jiggs!). SG air bulletpush reduced to 15 from 24 All Classes (except medic): Melee weapons now do more damage. Crowbar + spanner up to 30 from 18. Knife up to 50 from 32. New functionality: New splash screen to tell you about any updates to FF if you are playing an old version. New options screen with a load more stuff on it. Map changes Epicenter: New scoring system, capping flag results in that teams flag being reset back to cage, other team unaffected and can continue capturing. First to 3 captures wins and everyone resets. Extended balcony area around cap point for additional SG position Epicenter ammo bags now give a slight amount of health/armor (thanks gingerlord) Epicenter 3-cap LUA system added, some various tweaks Epicenter tweaks Crossover VIS fixed, massive performance increase Test middle area structure for additional route Lasers!

Thanks Yann "Sh4x" Richer Dropdown Added ff_dropdown - This CTF map was previously released to the community in September 2007. It has now been updated with major gameplay changes and a redesigned flag room. It features a destroyable wall, grate and generator, the last one also being repairable. Hunted Updated ff_hunted lua script - Assassins can now have 7 players, including snipers and 1 spy. Bodyguards can now have Soldiers, Demomen, Medics, HWGuys, Pyros, Engineers, and 1 Sniper. The Hunted now has unagi power and only takes damage from sniper rifle, crowbar, tranq, and knife. Waterpolo Updated ff_waterpolo - this map now has gameplay more similar to pigskin, a classic fun map, mainly by making the map bigger, removing the respawn rooms, adding side resupply rooms, adding an invisible wall that gets disabled after a 15 second start timer before each round, and allowing buildables that don't die after goals. Also added soundscapes and locations, replaced side steps with with steep ramps for fun trimping and double jumping. Oh, and also removed goalie invincibility and boundaries, made goalies have no armor and no ability to pick up resupply items, and made goalies faster than scouts. 1.11 (15 November 2007) Added blur effect option to menu Added some missing map files Fixed waterpolo Lua script Reduced AC spinup Fixed AC firing huge salvo Reverted accidental conc physics change thing 1.1 (31 October 2007) Fixed buildable_ondamage and player_ondamage script callbacks. Fixed kPlayers flag for lua entity collection. Fixed normal explosion sound being played on top of buildable explosion sound. Fixed player_spawn callback getting called every time a player executes /kill. Fixed suicide logic from running when player is already dead. Fixed score overflow at 32k by increasing size of networked score variable. Fixed missing voice hud icons. Fixed player:AddHealth function so it returns expected value. This fixes bug where you can pick up all ammo and armor bags if you weren't full health. Fixed display is + negative fort points(ie + -100) Fixed voice column to show chat on/off icons for other teams. Fixed # leaving off the rest of the string in chat messages if not matched to a localized string. Fixed disguise "enemy" to choose a random enemy team. Fixed infection/heal sound to play at appropriate times. Fixed kill/death messages not showing/tracking. Fixed tickrate 66 clamp. Fixed death view slant. Fixed %l displaying wrong team. Fixed medkit hit/infection sounds to play properly. Fixed sentrygun not being able to retarget closer targets Fixed sentrygun to favor all visible players over buildables(if they got a player as a target they will not target a buildable, regardless of distance) Added lua callbacks for player_connected & player_disconnected Added lua SetDamageForce for damageinfo Added DamageInfo:ScaleDamage function, exposed to lua Added player_onkill callback for player suicide so scripts can reject it(implemented in ff_hunted) Added DropToFloor() lua function that takes a base entity. Added client side spawn weapon cvars to control what weapon you equip on spawn. Added small spinup to AC so it no longer shoots immediately(and no heat buildup during spinup) Added buildable & grenade flags to the base trigger class & .fgd Added a progress bar to spy disguising. Changed to no blood shooting disguised teammates when ff is off. Changed AC to reduce HW speed when firing(and not dependent on charge level). Changed grenade and pipe damage radius up a bit Changed water exiting push force up a bit. Changed decals not to draw on players & buildables. Pretty certain this accounted for a majority of client crashes. Changed a bunch cvars people were using as cheats to cheat. Changed backpacks to non solid to fix them from blocking doors/elevators. Changed messagemode and messagemode2 binding to support auto starting the chat message. Ie, bind p "messagemode ^2" will begin the chat mode with ^2 already in the chat box.
