What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
User Interface:
· Added hud_takesshots cvar (takes a screenshot at end-of-round if enabled) and added it to the Fortress Options menu (disabled by default)
Generic/Misc Stuff:
· Various network optimizations
· Any class can see enemy health on crosshairinfo now (previously only medics could)
· Grenade throwspeed changed to 660 down from 700 (2.3 value was 630)
· Sharking friction lowered to 1 (down from 4)
· Client jump sound volume decreased by half and given its own soundscript definition
· Increased flag bounding box slightly (from basic box +8 to basic box +12; 2.3 value was +24)
Visuals:
· New, less obscuring conc explosion effect
· Added cvar to switch back to the old effect (cl_conc_refract) and put it in Fortress Options
· Tweaked chat colors for a bit better visibility.
· More difference in grenade timer alpha when you throw the grenade, compared to still having it primed
Bug Fixes:

Class-specific Changes:

· Added alcove and lowered lighting at the ladder to battlements.

· Added clip brushes on bottom of flagroom ramp so that people can wall strafe again.
Openfire:

· Scout, medic, spy and sniper always spawn balcony. Other classes always spawn flagroom.
· Flagroom bag moved to bottom of steps to make it more obvious.
