Alle Details zu Counter Strike 1.6

Zwar hat der Taktik-Shooter schon einigen Staub angesetzt, doch ist er weiterhin Beliebt ohne Ende. Auch Entwickler Valve merkt das und bringt am morgigen Donnerstag die lang ersehnte Version 1.6 raus. Wer aber jetzt schon wissen will was die neue Version mit sich bringt, kann dies in der offiziellen Liste aller Neuerungen nach lesen:

- Complete rework of launcher UI.
- "mp_logmessages" set to "on" by default.

- New version of de_inferno.
- New version of de_aztec.
- Added new map de_airstrip
- Increased Glock damage slightly.
- Added widescreen view modes for hardware that supports it.
- Changed so the bomb and hostages use T and upside-down T in the radar like players do (to indicate above/below the player).
- Added zoom & health in HLTV.
- Improved load times to join servers.
- Engine supports masked and additive textures modes on models.
- Added widescreen monitor support (16:9 and 5:4).
- Windows HLDS now runs as a VGUI2 panel. Running with -console will run as a console window.
- Windows HLDS now loads sw.dll again, swds.dll is no longer needed.
- HLTV log files have time stamp in file name.

- Changed so the bomb defuser gets three frags for successfully defusing the bomb.
- Changed so when bomb goes off, the player that planted the bomb gets three frags.
- Changed so live players don't see enemy deaths in the scoreboard.
- Changed default spectator mode to "chase_locked".
- Changed so semi-colons are removed from messagemode text and replaced with commas (prevents exploit).
- Added number of ban entries to "listid" response to aid in parsing.
- Removed command "dem_edit", use "hl.exe -demoedit" instead.

New/Changed CVARS:
- Changed default setting for "mp_logmessages" to 1
- Added server cvar "sv_lan_rate" which specifies the rate to use for all clients on a lan server, default is 20000.
- Added "sv_log_onefile" to determine whether one log file is created (total) or one log file for each map change, which is how it currently is. The default is the current behavior (one for each map change).

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed messagemode exploit where you could set cvars on the client without the console.

- Don't relay admin_mod commands to spectators like rate, cl_updaterate, etc.
- Removed unused latency code (was related to pushlatency)
- If connected to HLTV, allow higher ex_interp values.
- Changed way how status messages are handled (to get total spectator & available slot numbers).
- Default HLTV updaterate will be 10 (not 20) to save bandwidth.
- Fixed demo recording after changelevel.
- Fixed bug where players could duck while traveling up ladders and not lose any speed (but the sound volume was reduced).
