The changes and bug fixes are announced on planetfortress a few days ago:


Fixed bug where players who were frozen could travel up ladders.
Fixed spy being able to move up ladders while feigned.
Fixed teledeath messsage for telefrag death to include "teledeath" as the weapon.
Fixed problem with looping Assault Cannon sound getting stuck
Fixed problem with AC gun never dry firing
Fixed a bug with view model colors and first-person spectator mode.
Fixed bug where defensive demoman could lay pipebombs/detpack in spawn room (on maps like Dustbowl) and kill offensive team when teams cycle to the next area.
Fixed engineer not being able to build while ducking.
Fixed Status Bar not showing player IDs correctly.
Fixed bug in TFC armor hud graphic where the percentage armor shown wasn't correct for each class.
Fixed spectator mode switching your view to a new player if the player you're watching dies.
Fixed not being able to pick team "Spectator" when you first join the TFC server.
Fixed not being able to pick your own class again if you have hud_classautokill set to 0 (in TFC)
Fixed TFC green say_team command buttons for Hunted and Dustbowl.
Fixed TFC bug where players could change teams/classes quickly and end up with the wrong weapons for their class.
Fixed TFC bug where sentry gun could become detached from the base and still work.
Fixed TFC spies, hw guys, and scouts not being able to drop their cells.
Fixed demo playback for demos containing svc_filetxferfailed messages.
Fixed bug with HLTV director command 'stufftext'
Removed command "dem_edit", use "hl.exe -demoedit" instead.
HLTV now handles svc_setview correctly
Fixed demo recording after changelevel.
Fixed bug where players could duck while traveling up ladders and not lose any speed (but the sound volume was reduced).
Fixed players being able to move up ladders faster than their maxspeed.
Fixed bug with chat input and PIP overlapping while in spectator mode.
Fixed spectator bug where you can't always cycle forwards and backwards through the players (you can only cycle one direction).
Fixed sv_visiblemaxplayers setting not working for info/details query response.


my questions are:

Have they removed strafing up ladders now? Is tfc gonna be that percentage slower again?

Is ex_interp allowed to be changed still?

Does muting ppl still mute their text?? <-- by far the most annoying thing with VC atm, I cant see that this has been changed back? :|

Has the bug been fixed where if u speccied a demo, he couldn't set his detpack.

:|


At least there are some good things like the changelevel borking up demos unless u retried and being able to join spec mode straight away etc..

Soz if i missed sh1t but im a 'tard

:GOOD - NOW PEOPLE CAN TRY AND USE SOME SKILLS INSTEAD OF SNEAKY STRAFE SH*T?!?!:

18-01-2003, 22:06
heh but thats the thing.. it actually requires a small degree of skill... u cant just hold the strafe button and think u'll zip right up there.. u gotta get mouse placement right and keep shifting slightly where u r looking so u dont fall off the ladder... this takes time albeit not long to master and thus can be considered a learnt skill.. k thx
Gokou
18-01-2003, 22:16
skill my ar*e

i will concider it a skill if you can still do it after they patch it out.

going up monkey_l fr ladder fast is a vital skill for engineers. When every fraction of a second counts to get that hit on your sg, you need to get it where you can.

The voice/text muting problem is still unfixed, I tested it yesterday afternoon when steam started working again :/
SteveP
21-01-2003, 11:51
Was after testing that myself, but as servers are dead, being unable to test if they can still see text when muted.

i use it constantly on sd2 to get into flag room before sg locks on so i can throw flag out..

would be a pain in the ass if this is took out :mad:
Defragmentor
21-01-2003, 12:58
I never knew about it and it never stopped me getting into the FR :P

It's possible to walk past the sg in full view, climb the ladder then jump out with the flag, so about 0.3 seconds won't make a HUGE difference imo :)
Big-Chief
21-01-2003, 13:00
oh well then :p

i was just accustomed to doing it, and often the sg would start shooting me just before i got behind wall.

Will have to test it when the patch finally arrives (cba with that steam stuff, will just wait for official patch)

I only play dm... but wtf ladder strafe? :S
sPuDdLe
22-01-2003, 13:52
omg... thought u had sent an email ranting about the voice comm bug thing to valve.. assumed this would get fixed..... anyone notice how american this patch is... as ever... grrrrr


oh and as medic i could never get up the ladder without being shot usually... strafing helped u get off the ladder smoothly but more risk of getting caught on the ramp..

i assumed this was common knowledge... but find a suitably long ladder and go up it normally pressing forwards... then try again holding a strafe button and forwards and manipulating the mouse so ur angle is going upwards and not falling off.... notice the difference? Can save up to a couple seconds if its quite long.

It's the same as wall strafing but you're simply going up a ladder at the time.

22-01-2003, 13:54
razz u sux...
Razz
22-01-2003, 13:59
It's true though :P

Stand with the ladder on your right, look up, press forward and right strafe. Simplicity in itself!

Combine that with crouching and you'll be going up the ladder super-fast making no noise at all !
sPuDdLe
22-01-2003, 14:03
right that does it razz im coming on irc to sort you out
sPuDdLe
23-01-2003, 10:35
anyone reckon if we send some emails to valve about the voice comms, they'll sort it out via streaming it thru steam and also have enuf time to include in the official dlable patch?

Send an email off to the HLDS mailing list and you might get a reply about it. :)

U can't teleport from an entrance underwater i think, tried it again with no success. However, you can teleport your dead body and bag and corpse appears at the exit, so could it be possible to teleport from underwater feigned as a spy? Dunno, not tried, worth a try one time though.
