Counter strike source news Patch#

Gone are the days of flat and scripted environments, stiff models, and half-hearted special effects. Years in the making, and the official platform for Half-Life 2, the Source engine is what Valve is hoping will set the bar in computer gaming. WhatвЂ™s new? WhatвЂ™s changed? Is it still playable? Could it actually be an improvement over 1.6? WeвЂ™ll tell you. Many people have ventured to their local LAN centers, which often arenвЂ™t all that local just to get first impressions for the new game. The rumors are spreading, and people are getting anxious to get their hands on Counter-Strike: Source. On a side note, Counter Strike: Condition Zero owners will very soon get to test after the ongoing content preloading is completed, probably of a newer beta build. Added a cvar to ignore win conditions: mp_ignore_round_win_conditions.Just noticed this on Slashdot, a very well written review on the beta version of Counter Strike: Source which has been released, via steam, to registered CyberCafe's.If timelimit, maxrounds, and winlimit are all 0, show nothing.If both timelimit and maxrounds are 0, show winlimit.If timelimit does not exist, show maxrounds if not 0.If timelimit exists and is not 0, then show timelimit.There's now a priority order for displaying win conditions when multiple win conditions are set.Also fixed problem in which grenading a player and then killing them with another weapon showed as '*** in 1' on console. 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).Fixed issue that awarded three points when the bomb explodes after the round ends by elimination criteria instead.Added cvars sv_ladder_dampen and sv_ladder_angle. Addressed a problem that occasionally caused characters to be colored incorrectly on the Change a Class screen.
