==========

Long break :D

Put nvg effects in

Got rain + snow working again

linux .so file created from this build

14/11/2002

==========

Back to the old spectator menu coz the amount of hassle the new one causes

Akimbo colt accuracy lowered slightly

Added flashlight effect back in to see if that was causing the crashes

Hopefully crashes were because of dead bodies and logging errors

05/11/2002

==========

Missed the changes.txt in the last one so heres both...

Added all particle effects back in

Increased accuracy on colts

Added the headshot detection code on mp5 only

Spectator cam should now remember what view you last used

Spectator cam wont go to the last view if its not possible (everyone is dead, no teammates, etc)

15/11/2002

==========

Fully working spectator menu

Shrunk top bar so it doesnt obscure deaths

Made it so if you are watching a dead player it finds a new player for you

Fixed the 3 crash bugs found during testing last Sunday

New titles.txt and delta.lst. MAKE SURE YOU ADD THEM

05/11/2002

==========

Merged with latest valve sdk

All logging data updated to use method shown in valve code.

Removed calls to snow/rain effects

22/10/2002

monster_hostage semi working

CTF stuff appears to be working (the map I have works as it should)

Admin mod fix added. Should not crash at round start now.

29/06/2002

==========

weapon prediction out.

So, it should be exactly like the last dll, only without weapon prediction I guess.

20/06/2002

==========

Removed visible bullets

Turned off player ID system in non-spectator mode

Added a custom sprite var to the weather effect (add "sprite" to the entity, and give the path from the hl dir)

==========

Fixed the knife + grenade not resetting after longjump (needs new delta.lst)

Fixed red damage splash on round start

Added code to check each weapon does not exceed its max ammo amount

Added a bullet model to the fire code

06/06/2002

MORE grenade prediction

Fixed muzzleflash problems. Im amazed it worked the way it did....

First person mode on fists. cl_kungfudist = distance 1-150. 0 = off

Cant reload before round starts now

Flashlight blind now almost completely white. Duration is very short so the effect is

still useful if you keep your torch aimed at them, but allows the nvg user to recover

if you arent aiming at them

Bleed damage now flashes the screen a faint red

Player ident view dist reduced

bullets appearing in world again

All tracers removed except for m4 + mp5 ( :( I liked that, but apparently I am star wars today )

Wiz noise added if bullets are close... Need to set it up so own bullets dont wiz.

Fixed rain not being rendered correctly, may help with ppl that couldnt see rain before.

Fixed radio command being used to crash servers

New delta.lst for weapon info stuff
