- fof_horse_freeaim cvar (in secondary options/advanced): set it to 0 to drive horses by view control always, no matter the weapon is used. Note: ain't meant to be changed on the fly, a respawn is expected

Fixed:
- players show damage on chest by default
- players may not heal from certain actions, as purchasing a whiskey jug
- going off-limits by using horse
- picking weapons up while using ambidextrous assigns a weapon to right hand always
- trying to control a horse right before it fades away leads to a x-file

December 23 - 2022

Added:
- riding horse: a horse you can use to gallop around the maps at blazing speed. Only available on some maps in two fashions: placed at fixed places (fistful -3-, depot -2-, tortuga -1-) and respawn along the player (fofhr_ maps). Main advantages gained when using a horse: speed, ram enemies (instakill) and physic objects, shooting accurately while moving and reload without speed decrease. Horses can't take any damage, they respawn when they are left in a dangerous or inaccessible place. Limitations: turning abruptly when horse is at high speed results in an uncontrollable slide/drifting, can't aim separately from horse direction, decreased lateral/backwards movement speed, crashing into solid objects at high speed decreases acceleration for a while.

February 24 - 2021

Added:
- MOTD (message of the day) window now is forced to show HTML content for a few seconds when joining a server. This is a deference to server owners that may use it to show ads as a way to pay for their hosting. However MOTD won't show more than once per map as it could be before.

Fixed:
- [Shootout/TS]stability issues in Linux dedicated servers
- [Shootout/TS]certain respawn zones not protected well enough (still WIP)

February 19 - 2021

Changed:
- [Shootout/TS] 4 team shootout on most maps only supports 20 slots (except fistful and cripplecreek), so on those maps servers will be switched to 3 team shootout automatically
- [Shootout/TS] respawn system: certain performance optimizations introduced

Fixed:
- [Shootout/TS] respawn system: not enough probes created in certain areas, resulting in unprotected respawns
- [Shootout/TS] a glitch occurring in loadout selection when several primary items get selected simultaneously

February 15 - 2021

Added:
- per player respawn statistics at map end (console)

Changed:
- map's max slots allowed has been reworked into something more flexible but potentially a lot more confusing. The change affects FFA Shootout mainly: 24 slots maps include fistful and cripplecreek, 20 slots include desperados and nest, and the rest just supports up to 16 slots. 12 slot maps remain the same. If a server loads a map which exceeds the slot limit then next map will be loaded. Custom maps have no slot limit, all regular maps are supported in 24 slots servers hosting team shootout
- fof_overtop: added new route to bottom where red crate is
- fof_revenge: performance optimizations, additional respawn room added, respawn spot prone to miss nearby enemies fixed

Fixed:
- respawn system: spawning two players at same spot, not accounting first time respawn wave right, not dealing with distances properly at certain spots, a check to avoid using previous respawn points when possible
- map timer displaying wrong time on servers that try to exceed limit

February 12 - 2021

Added:
- [Shootout/TS] new respawn system created from scratch. It's meant to be less CPU intensive as basic distance calculations are done at map load. It also takes into account more factors that influence player respawn. However it still suffers from the limitation that imposes constrained map sizes, but at least it shouln't provoke lag spikes when trying to find a spawn spot 'desperately'

Changed:
- Shootout FFA servers support 20 slots maximum, team shootout will be selected automatically when server capacity is higher
- fof_depot: more gloomy, thicker fog, respawn spots reorganized
- fof_revenge: additional respawn room
- fof_overtop: less places to get stuck, respawn spots reorganized
- fof_robertlee: respawn spots reorganized

February 2 - 2021

Changed:

- max player count wrong for co-op mode servers
- bots taking a big performance hit when server is full of them in Shootout mode

Players switch team to desperados when a tier 2 or 3 weapon is acquired from crates (or just taken from the ground). Tier 2 & 3 weapons always drop.

Initial objective is to scavenge from caches to rearm, then reach safezone before is too late. Those players reaching safezone with weapons (that can't be used yet) will play as outlaws, and those who didn't get any gun will play as lawmen. Second stage: lawmen respawn with stock weapons/perks and both teams clash. Every killed outlaw respawn as lawmen until only one outlaw is left alive (winner). Every lawmen respawn when killed. Outlaws can be tracked by their footprints.

How it's played: players spawn with a predefined loadout once per round. Rounds are short, around 1 minute, ending at a safe zone where survivors meet. Safe area shrinks progressively, causing damage to those left outside. There's a safe zone's inner circle that also heals anyone inside. Players also can heal by killing enemies if other players don't get an assist. Finally, all players move to next spawn point (in their respective queues) when next round starts (clockwise), where a new loadout is granted. Alternatively, players are required to scavenge for weapons in some maps.

- slightly higher penalty when walking backwards

Fixed:
- server side crash related to pickpocket perk (another fix)

January 13 - 2018

Fixed:
- possible server side crash related to pickpocket perk

January 3 - 2018

Changed:
- jump-kick: smaller hull for hit detection (means more accuracy is required when kicking in mid-air)
- duck-jump: decreased forward impulse when using anything but melee weapons
- players receiving a kick get less view drift
- portable whiskey jug grants 50hp when purchased from red crate
- Pickpocket: cash and weapons are stolen at same time when available (instead one after another). Target gets a chat message letting them know what was stolen

Fixed:
- [2 Team Shootout] players may respawn very close from enemies
- blood decals on players coming from friendly arrows

Good whiskey and pickpocket changes. I hated getting a knife first instead of cash lol.

thats how you can nerf kicks, make them harder to use instead of just slapping a damage nerf on them

Does this include fists? Or fists get duck-jump penalty too?

New year, new update notes :)

I actually liked the damage reduction, 35 dmg was too much for a kick. It meant that 3 boot kicks were able to kill a person, the same amount of axe hits.

knockback is still the same, if you had the time before to corner kick somebody to death with three kicks youll have it for 4 too (as it didnt happen often and 3 also take quite some time one more isnt that much of a change)

Real problem is that it is to spammable. You can keep on kicking, no delay or nothing. Even punching has delay.

thats what i mean, if you want to change anything about that the changes should be much more considerate, like changing hitboxes or speed of the kick instead of just slapping a damage nerf on it that rarely has a effect

(it should be considered though that kicking is avaliable to everybody, its not like this one abillity is OP, its a basic mechanic thats why everybody can kick without needing a perk)

Yeah, hitreg is real bad sometimes. I have been kicked by a person who was completely turned away from me. But that's just source engine I guess.

Yeah, the jump-kick adjustment was a good thing.

Looking forward to a year of fun changes :)
