3.7 Features
========
* Boot is now available with Beretta and DE and grenades
* Sr8 damage to waist and groin equalized at 80%
* knife damage increased
* ut_timenudge - lets you swap ping for a smoother world view. Useful for
people who are having hitting issues/jerky other player issues. If not,
leave it on 0. Range (0-50ms) 
* walljumping - easier to do now esp. for hpbs. The 3 jump limiter was
slightly broken, meaning it wasn't working as nicely in 3.6 as it was during
3.5 qa testing. Fixed now.
* walljumping - cannot walljump off other players
* walljumping - cannot walljump off of low ledges
* cg_autoscreenshot - check if thats behaving right please.
* player rendering - player angle changes were not smooth before, now they
are.
* new options for cg_drawteamoverlay 0 1 2 3 
       	- 0 is none
	- 1 is both teams displayed
	- 2 is just your team, smaller, and the alive count of the other team
	- 3 is only yourself and the alive counts of your team and the other team
	and
*    cg_drawteamoverlayscores 0 1  which turns off the scores from the above options
* g_deadchat 0/1/2 only works in matchmode
     0 dead can talk to only dead or sub
     1 is the default, dead can pester their own team
     2 means the dead can pester everyone
     - specs are always locked out however
* /restart unreadies teams correctly
* you have to ready up again after 1/2 time
* removed the bobby rotation of portal cameras
* brought back the trail on the laser
* removed subs from the team overlay


3.5 Features
========

* new nvg effects cg_nvg 0-8 changes colour
* new walljump physics
* legshots dont slow you so much 
* running with low stamina doesnt slow you so much
* Have to have the knife selected to boot (can boot team mate if FF is on)

* Changed intermission not to look around anymore
* Made TDM use TS spawns if no TDM spawns around
* modified the UI to show 1/2 time scores on the scoreboard
* if it somehow makes it to 1/2 time without either team readying a ready up in the second half resets the match
* personal scores are kept between first and second half unless a restart is called in which case the personal scores are cleared but the match starts at the second 1/2
* Improved pause text 
- "Pausing" appears at the top of the screen
- by who (red/admin/blue)
- whether it's a timeout or pause
* Pause and resume have countdowns eg: "Resuming in 9 seconds" etc which are in the middle of the screen



3.3 Features
========
New Bomb Mode rules
    - 2 points for red on successful plant
    - 2 points for blue for stopping red from planting by killing all of red before they plant
    - 1 point for red for killing all blue but not planting
    - 1 point for blue for defusing the bomb
    - 0 points for a draw

* g_bombRules 0/1 - Cvar control for old and new bomb rules 
    - 0 = old rules
    - 1 = new rules and is on by default

Kicking enabled in FFA

Graphic display in lagometer when antiwarp is affecting you. (antiwarp indicated by black lines in lagometer)

3.2 Features
========
G_antiwarp 0/1
	- It's turned off by default as it's still fairly experimental, and a little 		controversial. It stops warpers. But, to the person actually warping it 		feels like packetloss.

g_antiwarpTol 50
	- It,s the MS tolerance before g_antiwarp decides that you're a warper.  Most 			players have well under 20ms, but severe warpers (ie. uploading onto kazza) are over 	50 most of the time. Recommended you just leave it on 50, but set it can be tuned 	slightly lower (40, or maybe 30) if there are certain persistant people who still 	try and get past this.

G_gear 0
	- G_gear is a server-side option that allows you to disable certain weapons from 		spawning with players. It's a bit field (like G_allowvote), so you pick what 			combinations you want by summing the relevant bit values. 
		They are:
		1  No Grenades
		2  No Snipers (psg1 or sr8)
		4  No Spas
		8  No Pistols
		16 No Autos (primary or secondary)
		32 No Negev
	
		So, if you wanted to run a pistol only server, you'd remove everything else. 		1+2+4+16+32 = 55 g_gear 55 = Pistols Only.  Clients are notified when G_gear 		is changed as to what is allowed, (as well as when joining a server). Known 			Issue: The actual loadout screens wont prevent you from selecting disallowed 		weapons, you'll just never spawn with them.

Voting on g_gear
	- G_gear can be disallowed/allowed for voting by the bit value "32" in g_allowvote.

Throwing Knives
	- The ability to throw knives is back.

CAH Flags Reset
	- The flags set back to neutral when the round time is up and a sound is played to 		alert you.

Laser available on more weapons
	- Laser is now available on the AK103 and the Imi Negev

Laser does 10% recoil reduction as well as 40% spread reduction

3.1 Features
========
* cg_hitmessages 2   =   new damage reporting system that gives you the actually amount of damage in a percentage format 
* colours allowed in team chats now
* chats show as yellow in the console.
* cg_showbullethits 2 
* Shows the % damage dished out on each shot
* Shows the % health left to bastard who killed you
* Fix to the ent->think bug that was causing the bomb to disappear on the new Abbey2

3.6 Bug Fixes
=======
* Fixed ammo exploit
* Replaced missing texture in Casa

3.5 Bug Fixes
========

Beta 2.5
============
[02.23.02]

Notes on 2.5
============

2.5 is primarily a bug fixing release for 2.4.  

The weapons have been slightly tweaked to make some of the more devastating weapons a bit 
more balanced.  The MP5K became a lot more powerful than we intended with the hit bug gone
because with its rate of fire it was getting a LOT of headshots.  We understand people's
feelings about the weapons, but we felt that getting 2.5 out so the server issues could 
be dealt with was very important.

I am also aware that LPBs can feel like they get hit "behind a wall" by a HPB.  In 2.3 and 
before the netcode did a check to see if a HPB's shot would be disallowed because the 
LPB had gone behind a wall before the HPB fired off their shot.

In upgrading the netcode, I didn't re-implement this feature.  Some people may notice it and
feel ripped off.  You are not, in fact, being ripped off by it.  If you seem to get hit
behind a wall it's because you were not behind a wall when the HPB saw you.  I beleive this
is balanced by the fact that a LPB can spot a HPB before the HPB sees them, and often
the reaction time leads to the HPB getting killed before he fires off a shot.  Normally
the LPB will win in any "surprise" situations.

I'll add in the wall check for 2.6 if people feel the wall issue is a huge problem. For now
I want people to know that it's not giving anyone an unfair advantage, it just feels odd.

Server admins please leave master2 in your server.cfg open and DO NOT assign it a master
server, as by default will send a heartbeat to the Urban Terror Master Server. If you have
master2 assign, just move that master server to something other than server2.

Fixes:
 * client info was being corrupted by new team skins code; fixed
 * large amounts of data going to the server added in 2.4 removed (less server lag)
 * problem with bots fixed (the 999 bug)
 * follow enemy now works correctly with the /follow command
 * cg_deferPlayers now works correctly
 * unlocked r_gamma
 * added 4 new lock cvars
 * added small delay on zoomin that prevents snipers from gaining full 
   accuracy immediately; this is to stop script exploits that let people 
   fire accurately while unzoomed

Features:
 * added environmental lighting to decals and particle effects
 * helmet now more effective

Changes to weapons:
 * there have been NO changes to damage of any weapons in this release
 * MP5 spread and movement penalty increased
 * UMP45 spread and movement penalty increased
 * G36 movement penalty reduced (more accurate when running)

Known Issues
============

There were a few things we didn't get a chance to fix, but are aware of:

 * weapons are not totally balanced (see above)
 * LPBs can apparently get hit behind walls (see above)
 * cg_bobup and cg_bbpitch cvars locked to their default values
   and cannot be set to 0.  People who are used to setting these
   to 0 (like Vynnski :) will notice the bob is back until 2.6
 * weapons sometimes seem to revert to burst mode for some people
 * hand skin can sometimes be wrong until respawn if you change skins

Note on netcode
===============

The netcode in 2.4 is essentially the same netcode that Apoxol developed in an earlier 
release of Urban Terror.  While we did use the public domain code released by the Q3
anti-lagged mod, that code is very similar to the original UT code, as Apoxol and Neil
spent some time working through various issues with each other.  The result is a synthesis
of Urban Terror specific netcode (to account for ARIES) and anti-lagged mod netcode.

The main advantage in the 2.4 netcode is better calculation of latency for players with low
pings.  In other words, LPBs should see the greatest difference in accuracy in 2.4.

The netcode does *not* do hit detection on the client-side and does not affect prediction
of player positions.  What it does is calculate hit detection on the server using player
data that simulates what the client would have seen on their screen at the time they shot.

The netcode also does *not* predict impact effects.  If you fire at a wall and you have a high
ping there will still be a delay between firing and impact.  Beta 3.0 may have client side
impact effects added in as an option for those HPBs who like to pretend they have cable ;)
