[Stephen J Farrer Esq.]

The new Css update is here.

New lifetime player stats and summary screens
New match player stats and summary screens
New end of round display with MVP and interesting fact about a player
Updated scoreboard with new icons, visual style, MVP stars, and avatar pictures
New cinematic death camera
New domination and revenge system
Added avatar icons to voice chat, scoreboard, and end of round display
Incorporated many source engine updates
Disallowed the use of arbitrary command strings for the message of the day screen. Now only a specific list of commands is allowed.
Addressed issue in which AWPs and Scouts sometimes did not make the zooming sound.
cvar mat_showlowresimage is now a cheat command.
Many development console commands which would crash the server removed.
Updated source engine addresses many issues:
Better flashlight effect
Better HDR behavior
Multicore rendering support
Added sv_disablefreezecam cvar to turn off the freezecam on a server.
Added sv_nonemesis cvar to turn off domination/revenge on a server.
Added sv_nomvp cvar to turn off MVP stars on a server.
Added sv_nostats cvar to turn off stats on a server.
Removed -tickrate command line option and defaulted tick rate to 66 rather than 33. This addressed a number of issues, including:
Tick rate affecting how fast doors open / close
Tick rate causing players hitting the ground to stutter
Tick rate affecting the firing mechanisms of certain guns

UI
Added the following cvars to allow players to customize their scoreboards.
cl_scoreboard_ct_color_red
cl_scoreboard_ct_color_green
cl_scoreboard_ct_color_blue
cl_scoreboard_t_color_red
cl_scoreboard_t_color_green
cl_scoreboard_t_color_blue
cl_scoreboard_dead_color_red
cl_scoreboard_dead_color_green
cl_scoreboard_dead_color_blue
Changed the screen that appears when the message of the day fails to load to display proper error text.
Made the CT silhouette for the auto-select option in the Choose a Class screen smaller and corrected its aspect ratio.
Addressed a problem that occasionally caused characters to be colored incorrectly on the Change a Class screen.

Gameplay
Made ladders easier to climb. Added cvars sv_ladder_dampen and sv_ladder_angle.
Fixed issue that awarded three points when the bomb explodes after the round ends by elimination criteria instead.
Fixed issue in which you weren’t given credit for grenade damage if you fired a weapon at someone then hit them with a grenade (in that order). Also fixed problem in which grenading a player and then killing them with another weapon showed as ‘*** in 1’ on console.
There’s now a priority order for displaying win conditions when multiple win conditions are set.
If timelimit exists and is not 0, then show timelimit.
If timelimit does not exist, show maxrounds if not 0.
If both timelimit and maxrounds are 0, show winlimit.
If timelimit, maxrounds, and winlimit are all 0, show nothing.
Added a cvar to ignore win conditions: mp_ignore_round_win_conditions.

[Bert]

Well I know what I am going to be downloading tonight pew pew pew indeed

[Rodgo]

lols, there's gonna be a strike at 5 gmt+1 because of this

[Whoose]

Sweet, i'll go on in a bit to check it out, then realise my fps is still < 10 and ragequit... then cry myself to sleep

[Dog]

Css players will whinge continually I bet.

[Stephen J Farrer Esq.]

and as im not a big css player i say bring on some vintage w(h)ine

[Sprite]

Css players will whinge continually I bet.

its all just noobs and arrogant idiots who think they know everything nowadays (which one am I ?)

[Whoose]

Just played about 45 mins, it was actually really good :')

Reg was improved as far as I could see, and I was on 29-14 on Tees... I suggest a Gooch CSS Night tbh.

Now all I need is for ping/fps improvements...

[Sprite]

Ping is better as they have raised default tick rate from 33 to 66.

Im not sure how much of a change they have made to the actual engine cos ppl are saying that sounds are different, awp scopes quicker, grenades are thrown differently, blablabla

[Dog]

Yesh would love to have css nights, played it briefly and got annoyed by all the whingy typical worst type of css players that exsist and stopped but would be cool on a decent server and with friends.  Also tees server?!

[Stephen J Farrer Esq.]

the people who played on tees when they stopped them started hosting a 'community tees' server didnt they?

or are tees back up?

[Sprite]

the-tournament.com who is run by a couple of ex tees admins (I think) has setup some new tees servers, only the office 24/7 and dust2 24/7 servers get used really though, I will get the IPs later if you want

[Mr Cube]

As nice as it is to see CSS get some much needed attention, i just wish they'd get on with CS2 lol.

Still, played this the other night and it seemed good, not massivley different mind, but the subtle improvements made it better, shame they're aren't any half decent and nice players online anymore! I'm deffinately up for a CSS night... and hey whoose, another late night 2 man mix ja?

Dont like the scoreboard colour scheme though.. looks weird. HDR lighting and blook looks much better, i remember bloom before would basically blind me on dust 2.
