The Big Gametype and Mapping Update!

  • GAMETYPE SYSTEM:
    A rewritten gametype system has been introduced:
    - gametypes can be instantly changed in-game
    - 'callvote gametype' now actually works!
    - 'g_gametype' cvar sets gametype by index number, this is the current list:
    0: Campaign (not used at present, use deathmatch 0 as usual)
    1. Free for All
    2. Duel
    3. Team Deathmatch
    4. Capture the Flag
    5. Clan Arena
    6. Freeze Tag (WIP)
    7. CaptureStrike
    8. Red Rover (WIP)
    9. Last Man Standing (WIP)
    10. Horde
    - Obsolete gametype cvars such as 'duel' have been removed. For compatibility purposes, all that remain are 'ctf' and 'teamplay' but these are overridden by g_gametype.
    - New command for admins: "gametype [gametype_name]" changes the gametype to the specified name, effectively the same as callvote gametype.

  • NEW GAMETYPE:

    • Horde: Battle waves of monsters, stay on top of the scoreboard while defeating up to 16 waves to be victorious!
