2.1e release

Post by **DavidM** » 06-09-2004 15:55

Deathball 2.1e
(patch from 2.1 to 2.1e)
http://www.deathball.net/files/deathball21eudpate.zip (2,9mb)
(just unzip it into /ut2004/ and delete your /deathball/system/deathball.ini if you are coming from 2.1, if you come from 2.1d keep it.)

Fixed from 2.1 to 2.1b
-Replay cam change working offline as well now
-Fixed hammer locking up in rare situations (report if it happens and also tell what you did to get it)
-added community-bots (names similar to community members, and they talk similar stuff in game, 150+ bots so far)
-You can now longer spam more than one line of text (not in teamsay either), so no more intentional lagging the server
-Attachments stay on model after dying
-General bot improvements
-Fixed remaining Crowd sound volume problems
-Fixed Spawning in wrong place problem (should also fix the UT2004 model problem, report if it's still there)
-Keeper weapon glowing
-Fixed Listen Server dude being invisible on maps with screen (Cube and Bowl)

2.1b to 2.1c
-Rapid fire spam was 0.5s by accident, its 0.05 now as intended. So teamsay "boost spam" should work again.
-Fixed "." at beginning from username crashing server (.:aov:. players can join with normal name again )
-Removed keeper weapon glowing in First person view
-Post sounds work again online
-Increased self volley power from 1000 to 1300 (last version it accidentally was 1000 instead of 1200; + 1000 to make some people a little happier )

2.1c to 2.1d
-Self volley restriction not active in Volley Only mode
-Added DB-SmallTouchdown (aimed for 3on3)
-Fixed "Can't hurt enemy in rare situations" bug that got introduced in 2.1c
-Maybe fixed hammer bugs (where it seems to keep on hammering for other players and maybe others) report when you got it
-Fixed spam protection fault when game was paused
-Maybe fixed: cannot be killed right after getting ball; report it if you get it or if not
-General Bot improvements + more bot talkage

2.1d to 2.1e
-Drastic performance increase (especially Radeon cards), about 100% performance increase. No big changes for Geforce expected.
-New crosshair (including inner circle for enemy kick radius)
-No more bugged when spawning in ball (except client on listen servers)

Bots:
- Bots more of less know left/right wing and centre position when attacking
- Fixed bad bug in ball prediction. Apparently it was totally messed up for v2.1...
- Bots shoot at center of goal less, more to sides.
- Prevented bots to pass bot next to them and reduced constant pass-spamming
- Reduced volley spamming
- Prevented bots to immediately volley spam team mate's pass

try to guess where the bug is

edit:

seems to return to normal during replays and when the round restarts

BuD servers are updated and clear of the Crosshairs mismatch problem.

To get around this problem on your server use this file to replace the existing Crosshairs.utx, 2K4Menus.utx and UT2004Thumbnails.utx files in ../ut2004/textures

THIS IS FOR THE SERVER ONLY!!!

edit: These are the original Epic dedicated server textures. The only modification I did was set packageflags of +ClientOptional and +ServerSideOnly to allow for different versions on the client. Being textures, these are just visuals only and the version mismatches do not affect gameplay.

Additionally, on the client side, I renamed the deathball's Crosshairs.utx and got the old 2.1d crosshair back.. go figure!

The FPS increase on my 9800pro is much appreciated!

Sigh...My erratic framerate is back. Once a second I get a framerate of around 20, when all the rest of the time it's aroud 50. This makes the game unsmooth and gives me a headache. gg ATI shitness.

Upgrade your internet Onge.

yeah 28.8 is a bit slow these days

Holy_Surfing · Post by **Holy_Surfing** » 06-09-2004 18:25

Reinstalled deathball completely, then updated to 2.1e

Both online and in botmatch:

Hopeless -_-

apparently the . at start of name bug is back

Post by **DavidM** » 06-09-2004 18:30

yeah we just realised it. weird stuff

Holy_Surfing · Post by **Holy_Surfing** » 06-09-2004 18:32

- Request to DavidM to forget about the new crosshair (yet another gay pointless thing imo, since everyone wants to use their own crosshairs) and revert it to the ones used in 2.1d by the time you release 2.1e later on... please -_-
