GAMEPLAY
- Enabled shotgun spread patterns on official matchmaking servers as described in <a href="http://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/holiday-spread/"> Holiday Spread post</a>
MISC
- Co-op Strike, Wingman, and Flying Scoutsman tags have been added to the workshop, so map authors can now tag their maps as playable in those modes.
- Co-op Strike, Wingman, and Flying Scoutsman tagged maps can now be launched into those modes from the Workshop tabs in game.
- Added a map place-able entity (
vgui_world_text_panel
) that allows mappers to put floating, localizable text in their map without needing custom res files. - Added vscript function named
ScriptPrintMessageCenterAllWithParams
which requires 3 params that get inserted into the localization token at the %s1’s. CGamePlayerEquip
now handles picking up healthshots and now respects max carry for grenades.- Disabled
sv_allowupload
by default. If enabled, the filter restricting potentially malicious file types has been expanded. - No longer exposing the server IP to clients in a circumstance where it wasn’t necessary. This should help prevent some DoS attacks.
