KTX 1.44 Release Notes

Changes

• Various wipeout related updates (dusty-qw):
  • Simplified "1on1" notifications
  • Spawning players cannot take or give damage for 1 second (but can still rocket jump)
  • Respawn times are now calculated based on number of players in team. This should improve 2v3 or 3v4 experience.

• STATS: show shotgun damage after percentage (dusty-qw)
• Do not override the required number of votes (2) for an election (ciscon)

  • ToT is a dmm4 1v8 bot game. You spawn with full health and unlimited ammo while the bots spawn with no armor and only shotguns. The goal is to frag as many bots as possible before dying, up to a 5 minute limit. Powerups are enabled.
  • To play (e1m2 is a good map for this):
    • /tot
    • /botcmd enable
    • /botcmd fill 20
    • /ready
• WIPEOUT: reduce chances of repeat spawn locations (dusty-qw)
