Steam Update

Postby Ryan » Thu Dec 11, 2003 2:56 pm

As always, this will be a by-request-only update.. visit http://support.ecgnetwork.com or e-mail support@ecgnetwork.com to request an upgrade.

Here is this updates changelog:

An update for all Steam games has just been released. As always, Steam will update your games automatically -- you don't need to take any special action.

Dedicated server admins can get the update normally via the HLDS update tool, or the dedicated server update can be downloaded directly from this page.

Here's a complete list of the changes:

ALL GAMES:
Fixed problem in Direct3D mode where the game would be unavailable for some users. Direct3D mode should work now, but note that OpenGL will provide a better play experience if your video card is capable
Fixed regression that was causing the 'load failed' crash to happen on level change
Optimized some of the particle drawing code
For mod makers - debugging mods no longer requires the steam.dll to be copied into the game directory
DAY OF DEFEAT
Added client side env_models for static prop type models
Random class now abides by class limits
No random class in clan matches
Added exit decal on gunshots
Restored door opening behavior to original style ( face the door and it opens away from you, face away and it opens towards you )
Fixed sniper rifle lowering when a sniper moved, even though he was still scoped
Fixed a bug where you would drop your weapon, pick it back up and it would have less ammo
Re-added weapon names to console death messages ( bob killed fred with garand )
Added "teamkill" text to the console death messages ( bob teamkilled chuck with kar )

Now cannot +use grenades while deployed
"hud_draw 0" now hides the spectator bar

Fixed gunshot decal on subsequent bullet hits
Added control point name to log file cap messages
Fixed hud reset on stop demo recording
Fixed ammo on mg42 and 30cal view model not showing above 8 bullets

Fixed an evil evil hack that stopped the player from shooting when their mg42 overheated
Fixed some more empty cells in the scoreboard showing up as squares

COUNTER-STRIKE:

TEAM FORTRESS CLASSIC:
Fixed icon for ALT-TAB menu and window title bar not being displayed properly
Moved flaginfo to the chat text area so it will work properly
