Add: new midair map (wmid3, hexagons made by blemish)
)
Add: Implement BattlEye anti-cheat system (go to http://www.battleye.com for more information)
Serverside: sv_battleye cvar (0 = disabled, 1 = optional, 2 = required)
Clientside: cl_battleye cvar (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled), BattlEye.dll (anti-cheat client)

Add: Challenger's queue for all gametypes

Add: Localtime to console.

Add: Stats command (/stats). This will list all of the weapons and your respective accuracies with them.
When speccing it display the stats of the chased player.

Add: Support for downloading files (maps) from the server using a web server.
Fail when the asked file does not exist on the web server
Support for resuming downloads

Add: Announcer, vsays, and chat tokens (macros) lists in /docs

Add: "demopause" function

Add: Shortcut "flag" to command "drop"

Add: Bots now have better AI and aim. Hf & gl with'm

Add: Missing walljump sounds.

Add: vsay and vsay_team commands. Works ET-like. It plays a sound (a voice chat) and shows an icon on player's head. The netcode has been
adjusted so that players who aren't in thesame team won't hear nor see the chattokens. vsay headicons to team layouts besides each
player name and location, so it's easy to know where the requesting player is.
Currently accepted tokens are:
needhealth
needweapon
needarmor
affirmative
negative
yes
no
ondefense
onoffense
oops
sorry
thanks
noproblem
yeehaa
goodgame
defend
attack
needbackup

Add: Flood protection check to vsays, you won't be able to spam YEEHAW anymore : p

Add: Bots use vsay. Pretty much randomly, but it adds nice ambient to the match.

Add: Enable Team Tabs (locations) on CTF too (small team overlay)

Add: Pings are displayed in color now
(green is 0<=ping<50, yellow 50<=ping<90, orange 90<=ping<120, red : ping >= 120)

Add: Spawn selection code for CTF (rule is randomly choose a spawn point from all matching your team color)

Add: Tweak bots for better ctf playing.

Add: in_minmsecs cvar. Increasing it, relaxes input update ratio.

Add: cg_enemyModel, cg_enemySkin, cg_teamModel and cg_teamSkin to force a warsow skin to a team.

Add: Self shadow on models.

Add: Captures in jpg when r_screenshotJPG is enabled.

Add: More splash radius to Gunblade.

Add: Generic weapon model for missing weapon models.shader

Add: cg_damage_kick, cg_damage_blend and cg_pickup_flash cvars.

Add: Prestep for all projectiles. Prestep is something to compensate network delay.
When you would fire a rocket in the previous version of war§ow
the rocket would be drawn immediatly after you clicked.
Now it's being spawned and instantly travel some msec ahead using its own speed,
thus feeling as if that projectile was fired a bit earlier in the past and
so compensating some lags. This make the game feel more responsive.

Add: A pair of missing ammo box shaders (riotgun and spawngun ammos)

Add: The outline effect to armors items.

Add: Each time the client returns to the ui from demos, videos, everything is a disconnect.

Add: Shortcut "weapon" to command "drop" will drop current weapon.

Add: automatic sorting of demos and screenshot in autoaction (autorecord/gametype/foo.bar)

Add: Distance fade effect to player names, with new cvars:
cg_showPlayerNames: toggles player names
cg_showPlayerNames_alpha: transpacency of names, for 0 to 1, 1 being opaque
cg_showPlayerNames_zfar: distance from where the names are printed or not
cg_showPlayerNames_xoffset: 2d horizontal offset of the name from the player
cg_showPlayerNames_yoffset: 2d vertical offset of the name from the player

Add: Teleporting effect on both side of the tele.

Add: cvar: cl_compresspackets (default 0, options: 0-1). Allows the client to decide if he wants the client to compress
the ucmds he's sending to the server. Ucmd packets are generated very fast, while they are of a very
small size. It's not really worth compressing them, but cpus don't really have any problem
with doing it. The choice is yours.

Add: (cheat, meaning: use devmap to use it, or cheats enabled, or race) cg_showPlayerTrails (value is time, in ms)

Add: Reward messages for midair

Add: cg_playerTrailsColor cvar to change the color of the player trails (for demos and race mode)
default is: "0.0 1.0 0.0"
format is "r g b" with r,g,b [0.0 .. 1.0]

Add: cvar: g_challengers_queue and callvote challengers_gueue.
In team gametypes, the half of the players with the lower scores will be put as spectators if we enable the challengers
queue (and of course, the players inside the challengers queue will be put inside the teams at the start of the warmup).
I don't know if it's desirable to enable it or not, but the code should be already working.

Add: Command line option -hwtimer to use high resolution performance counter if available (win32 only).
Enabling this on the command line (shortcut) will result in a better timer system for war§ow. Notes:
This won't always work, some computers don't like this and there is no linux support yet, so the linux servers can't enable this.
People who do have no trouble with this should enable it, even when playing on linux servers.

Add: mouse wheel support for scrolling in ui (server, demos, binds ...)

Add: cvars: con_fontSystemSmall and con_fontSystemMedium to allow to use user custom fonts.

Add: ctf bonus for extending flag reset countdown. Fix double flags and no-flag captures (hopefully)

Add: 2 new target entities to help mapping for our ctf:
"target_reset_flag_countdown" // can't be triggered by flag carriers.
"target_freeze_flag_countdown" // can only be triggered by flag carriers.

Add: New fonts system that allows you to create and a use your own fonts for console, ui and scoreboards.
Also able to set a different font for each print in the HUD scripts.

Add: Pings in servers browser.

Add: Health/armor bars on teammates.

Add: Simple projected shadows on models. And the most important, a smoother overall feeling.

Del: cvars cg_crosshairX, cg_crosshairY, cg_crosshairSize.

Del: Shockwave and lasergun wrong weapon models.

Chg: Scalable scoreboard.

Chg: In-game menu has been updated.

Chg: cg_grenadeTrail, cg_rocketTrail: Now mean density of the trail in smoke puffs per second.
New cvars: cg_grenadeTrailAlpha, cg_rocketTrailAlpha

Chg: Winners stay inside the team at match end.

Chg: make vid_restart restart the sound engine as it also reinit all dlls.

Chg: Fire up BE when getting the BE bit from server.

Chg: Reject clients with BE disabled if we are a BE enabled server

Chg: make midair mod 1v1

Chg: Put back magenta color in ^6, move orange to ^8 and add grey at ^9.

Chg: Midair rules: the knockback was scaled differently + scoresystem is +1 to +5 depending on the distance of the fragged person

Chg: Make say_team prints in yellow tint, cause was quite hard to follow a say_team talk in the console.

Chg: Player hitboxes have thesame height as the model when standing, and are about half that length when ducked.

Chg: Riotgun now has a circular spread, the bullets in the circle are randomized.

Chg: Allow cg_predictLaserBeam values between 0 and 1
This var shows the laserbeam as the server sees it. So if you set this to 0, you would have a true-laser for the server.
Setting this to one would mean that the laserbeam is drawn as if it were on ping 0.

Chg: Switch LaserGun and ElectroBolt in weapon list

Chg: midair give quad if health >= 200

Chg: allow player to crouch while in air

Chg: Put spawnpoints on floor at load time unless they have the no drop spawnflag.

Chg: Allow server names up to 32 chars for the info msg

Chg: Set thirdperson at updating player POV

Chg: Use "andromeda" skins by Hubikc for silverclaw model.
Delete some never used models.
Update player models animation.cfg to use the rootanim command instead of bonekeys.

Chg: Skeletal pmodels now define their animations using rootanim command in their configs.

Chg: weapondefs to reflect splash damage changes. RL and PG now have same knockback as damage. GL now has
same knockback and damage values as RL.

Chg: Splash damage and knockback changes: Calculates the distance of splash damage better. Uses different knockback
direction for splash damage when hitting players. Takes mindamage into account when calculating knockback. Removes
rocket jump and plasma climb hacks as they are no more needed.

Chg: Lasergun is able to use it's model projection source now.

Chg: Make bots adjust their skill to sv_skilllevel cvar

Chg: Add instant-hit weapons range to weapondefs. Create Lasergun weapondef files.

Chg: Add the outline effect to ammo pack and add the outline effect to the hud armor model.

Chg: Proper player model centering at ui_playerconfig

Chg: When callvoting gametype, don't change map, but go through scoreboards before switching.
Being so instant is confusing, and people likes to know how they were doing before the switch.

Chg: Improve team tabs so it sends smaller updates at a faster update ratio.

Chg: Faster respawning. Cvars g_respawn_delay_min and g_respawn_delay_max control it (in milliseconds).

Chg: Replace Huffman compression by ZLIB for the netcode.

Chg: Switch BLUE-GREEN teams again, so BLUE is the 2nd team.

Chg: Use Q3A version of LoadTGA, so some textures from custom maps don't crash Warsow.
WARNING: This means LRE-compressed tgas aren't supported anymore.

Chg: Stop sending playerskins as ConfigString, index the player models from the server as any other model.
Same for skin files (added new trap_SkinIndex for them). Skins bug should be gone by now.

Chg: Register sexed sounds in player-model basis (same for weapon models sets).

Chg: New Armor protection rules. Those changes were made in an attemp to stop armor-runs and increase the amount of fights in a 1v1.
GA: 25, 75; YA: 50, 100; RA 100, 200 - armor decay (to 150). All protection is 75, no matter the color. All degradation is 0.66.

Chg: More unified knockback for everything (still work to be done in physic_toss and bounce).
Adjust weapondefs; since there is an offset by the radius of the AAbox we are expanding
the radius of the explosion, so, for having the same radius as before, we have to reduce
the splash damages by the radius of AAbox.

Chg: Updated demos player (set read only on config.cfg in place of qfconfig.cfg)

Chg: Make projectiles use corpses solids. Should prevent projectiles stopping player movement and some rocket impact bugs

Chg: When in freefloat in teambased game make red team use teammodels and other teams use enemymodels

Med: New menu.

Med: Several new sfx, adjust volume and frequency.

Med: Added a mapshot for maps that don't have a mapshot included in their pk3 (unknownmap.jpg)
