V1.6.2 Update

General
  • New: In acknowledgement of the global pandemic and a reminder to practice proper social distancing, we have added a special seasonal "hat" (face masks). As with other events, visibility can be toggled in Settings -> Video -> Visual Options -> Seasonal Hats, or with cg_scrooge in console. We hope everyone in the community manages to stay safe in these trying times.
  • New: Discord Rich Presence.
    • Discord RP shows the server you are actively playing on, as well as map, mode, class, and time. It is opt-in by default, so go to Settings -> Other -> Rich Presence to enable it, or type /cg_discord 1 in console.
    • Note: This is currently Windows only.
  • Fix: "siegeclassopen" is no longer broadcast at times when it's unable to be done as a command.
  • Fix: Player HUD should now reset to turned on when joining a server.
  • Change: Player names are now logged into the ClientConnect string in server logs when joining the server.
  • Fix/Change: Class/team limits logic reworked. Should no longer kick players to spectator when they're already on a team and haven't changed classes. Message to player is now printed to the center of screen instead of to console to make it more obvious what's happening.
  • Fix: Corrected issue with muzzle charge on some FA classes showing a missing shader.
  • Fix: Custom Model Overrides sometimes not working as intended (example having both Peneke, HB and other packs in MBII folder at once and not all models showing up in Custom Models area
    • It is advised to use z_zz_nameofpk3.pk3 format when creating model packs.
  • New: More 'give ___' commands added (for when cheats are enabled on a server):
    • give health, give weapons, give ammo, give armor, give fuel, give battery, give BP, give stamina, give lives
Gameplay
  • Fix: Saberists no longer have their rolls canceled or take damage at points during the rolls after being shot.
  • Change: Saberists now have normalized knockback applied while in the air (albeit reduced to avoid being juggled in the air).

  • Fix: Blue, Cyan, and Purple styles can once again be selected all at the same time instead of only being able to pick Blue, Cyan, and Red styles.
  • Change: Dodge:
    • Some missing entries for hitbox locations that may be causing inconsistencies for triggering Dodge have been fixed.
    • Now drains more slowly (250ms between ticks instead of 90ms).
    • No longer dodges headshots from Projectile Rifle or Disruptor Rifle.
    • Instead of just dodging all shots during the activation window, your Dodge point pool now steadily drains after activating and when being shot at. Shots at closer ranges drain more Dodge points than being shot from far away (capped at 480 units of distance).
    • Requires 20 Dodge points to be activated.
    • Electrifying effects (ions, lightning, etc.) disable Dodge.

      • Change: Expanded attacker spawn and entry area and removed lift hallway to reduce travel time.

      • Change: Widened generator room, doors, and its adjacent corridors.
      • Fix: Made generator easier to damage with lightsabers, and rotating parts will hurt players.

Reminder: Legends mode is also a fun way for people to experiment with FA team combinations! Take a look at this guide for information and a full list of other team file names to experiment with trying maps with non-intended FAs loaded on them via the g_siegeteam1 and g_siegeteam2 commands.

why you gotta do my wrist laser dirty like that.
gunbash tho, I like the sound of that, same with staggering saberists with barge, but not so much about gaining rage from frags? weird choice

EDIT: ok so after a round or so of playing, I've come down to a conclusion
Gun bash is ok, stagger when crouching is incredible. Dodge buff I personally enjoy, I like hero a lot more, but there was wrist and westar. They didnt need that fp nerf. And fury gaining points only from grenades? Not a huge fan. Over all though, this update was a few steps in the right direction, but also a step back in other direction.

I think g_balance is not working properly when class limits are enabled...
The round keeps restarting when class limits are enabled and g_balance 1.

Change: Player names are now logged into the ClientConnect string in server logs when joining the server.
Apparently this breaks the commonly used RTVRTM script. I will throw out a fix soon but this is a good reminder that we don't officially support the script, and logs should not be considered a stable API.

I was hoping for Red Style buff. Why are you here?
..? We're not here to buff random styles as the devs so please. If your going to even talk about saber styles then talk to Tempest, he has a beta which is great which brings back perks. And all styles are not cancer anymore.
