1.4 changelog

[Ch3tan]

My post was too long! Use the link to get the CS1.4 changelog.

http://csnation.counter-strike.net/#news4330

They have finally added the anti-cheat, they fixed a lot of minor but long term annoying bugs- fast walking has been removed and the auto-sniper rifles have been fixed (or have they?), Vip's cant drop thier weapons.

HLTV style spectator mode ingame is very nice.

A lot of fixes for de_ maps, all related to the bomb itself. Only T's will be notified when the bomb is picked up or dropped, they will also have a flashing red dot on the radar when the bomb is dropped. You can no longer shoot or move while defusing, nor can u move at all while planting.

The jump thing (which is a good thing).

You can now change name while you are dead, but the change won't take place till you respawn.

Added code to force "sv_clienttrace 1" on the server yay! The default for CS is finally forced upon the masses.

There is now a cvar for weapon auto switching.

ONe change thats a bit annoying is the way that you can ignore players text messages. You have to mute them on the scoreboard, thus muting that players voice comms and text. No option for one or the other. :/

You cant hear the enemy radio calls anymore -I really liked this feature in 1.3, cant understand why they are removing it.

Read the other changes for youself, or my post will be too long again!

 

[Moving Target]

I think they should change the radio feature so that the enemy can only hear calls that you make, makes sense.

 

[Tom]

And they should also eliminate the delay sometimes experienced when you use the radio near teammates. Electromagnetic waves travel at 186,000 miles per second, I don't think a 1/2 second delay is appropriate somehow.....

The ability to turn your radio off or down when sneaking around would solve the problem of being overheard.

Ch3tan the cvar for weapon auto switching part, is this the same as fast hud_switch or is it something completly different?

 

[Moön]

Also for the newb tweakers amoungst us, whats a cvar .

I've heard lots about it but never took the time to understand exactly wht this means .

cheers

variables which you can control the values of :

hud_fastswitch is an example.

You have the control whether to set it to 1 or 0

 

[S-Gray]

Speaking players flash in team members' radars
Dropped bomb blinks red in Terrorist team's radar
Changed so players must stand still when planting the bomb (including no jumping)
If player dies, view zooms away from falling body while changing the angle to show the killer

These options i like more than any other, it will certainly improve my Gameplay

 

[iamtheone]

hud_fastswitch is an example of what? wtf does hud_fastswitch do exactly? adn is there any advantage in applying hud_fastswitch whatever that feck it does!

 

[~Lazarus~]

you mean you dont know ???

Set to value 1 means that the player automatically switches to the weapon of choice (no confirmation required).

0 means that confirmation is required.

e.g. if 2 is assigned to the pistol. Hud_fastswitch set to 1 means you press 2 and you are ready to rock and frag with the pistol.

Set to 0 means you have to press 2 and then confirm before you can use it.

 

[Ch3tan]

The cvar for auto switching will automatically change to a more powerful gun if you pick one up.

 

[Moön]

Hmm that might be a bad thing, I hate it when I'm trying to pwn someone with a deagle and I run over an awm .

Your saying if your using an mp5 and you run over an ak you'l pick up the ak ?

 

[old.D0LLySh33p]

No.



(Heh, but seriously. All it means is you can change weapons a tad faster. I.E., press button 1 and your primary weapon comes up automatically without you having to press fire to select it).

I haven't played 1.4 yet. I'm gonna be a complete n00b.
