============
If you have Quake 3 Arena and want to continue using PunkBuster: Make
sure you have Quake 3 Arena updated with Point Release 1.32(c) and
update PunkBuster with pbsetup. Copy the q3ut4 folder from 4.3 to your
quake3-directory and make shortcut to quake3.exe. Add "+set fs_game q3ut4"
to the targetfield of the shortcut.
If you don't have Quake 3 Arena and/or don't care about PunkBuster:
Run the 4.3 Auto-Updater or unzip the 4.3 zip.

* Made TDM use TS spawns if no TDM spawns around
* modified the UI to show 1/2 time scores on the scoreboard
* if it somehow makes it to 1/2 time without either team readying a ready up in the second half resets the match
* personal scores are kept between first and second half unless a restart is called in which case the personal scores are
cleared but the match starts at the second 1/2
* Improved pause text
- "Pausing" appears at the top of the screen
- by who (red/admin/blue)
- whether it's a timeout or pause
* Pause and resume have countdowns eg: "Resuming in 9 seconds" etc which are in the middle of the screen
3.3 Features
============
New Bomb Mode rules
- 2 points for red on successful plant
- 2 points for blue for stopping red from planting by killing all of red before they plant
- 1 point for red for killing all blue but not planting
- 1 point for blue for defusing the bomb
- 0 points for a draw
* g_bombRules 0/1 - Cvar control for old and new bomb rules
- 0 = old rules
- 1 = new rules and is on by default
Kicking enabled in FFA
Graphic display in lagometer when antiwarp is affecting you. (antiwarp indicated by black lines in lagometer)
3.2 Features
============
g_antiwarp 0/1
- It's turned off by default as it's still fairly experimental, and a little controversial. It stops warpers. But
to the person actually warping it feels like packetloss.
g_antiwarpTol 50
- It's the MS tolerance before g_antiwarp decides that you're a warper. Most players have well under 20ms, but
severe warpers (ie.uploading/downloading) are over 50 most of the time. Recommended you just leave it on 50, but
set it can be tunedslightly lower (40, or maybe 30) if there are certain persistant people who still try and get
past this.
g_gear 0
- g_gear is a server-side option that allows you to disable certain weapons from spawning with players. It's a bit
field (like g_allowvote), so you pick what combinations you want by summing the relevant bit values.
They are:
1 No Grenades
2 No Snipers (psg1 or sr8)
4 No Spas
8 No Pistols
16 No Autos (primary or secondary)
32 No Negev
-So, if you wanted to run a pistol only server, you'd remove everything else.
1+2+4+16+32 = 55
g_gear 55 = Pistols Only.
- Clients are notified when g_gear is changed as to what is allowed, (as well as when joining a server).
- Known Issue: The actual loadout screens wont prevent you from selecting disallowed weapons, you'll just
never spawn with them.
Voting on g_gear
- g_gear can be disallowed/allowed for voting by the bit value "32" in g_allowvote.
Throwing Knives
- The ability to throw knives is back.
CAH Flags Reset
- The flags set back to neutral when the round time is up and a sound is played to alert you.
Laser available on more weapons
- Laser is now available on the AK103 and the Imi Negev
Laser does 10% recoil reduction as well as 40% spread reduction

Misc Notes
==========
Even with eight months of recoding, tweaking, modifying and testing, there
will be times gamers encounter bugs and problems, with Urban Terror,
Quake 3 or PunkBuster related. We are not perfect, but we are dedicated
to our software and have made every attempt to fix the problems as they
presented themselves during the development cycle.
If you happen to have unfortunate luck and run into problems, take the
time to check the manual, FAQ and forums, before dropping the F-bomb on
the development team. We are here to support and assist the community
through their problems and have been since Beta 1. We are usually around
the forums and IRC on a regular basis if you have problems. The community
is very good when it comes to assisting gamers in the problems they
encounter.
Last but not least, remember to have fun and enjoy playing Urban Terror.
The development team enjoys working on Urban Terror and supporting the
community. We are all friendly and enjoy the support gamers continue
to give us. So, enjoy Beta 2.6 and thank you for your continued support.

Beta 2.5
============
[02.23.02] [Feb 23 2002]
Notes on 2.5
============
2.5 is primarily a bug fixing release for 2.4.
The weapons have been slightly tweaked to make some of the more devastating weapons a bit
more balanced. The MP5K became a lot more powerful than we intended with the hit bug gone
because with its rate of fire it was getting a LOT of headshots. We understand people's
feelings about the weapons, but we felt that getting 2.5 out so the server issues could
be dealt with was very important.
I am also aware that LPBs can feel like they get hit "behind a wall" by a HPB. In 2.3 and
before the netcode did a check to see if a HPB's shot would be disallowed because the
LPB had gone behind a wall before the HPB fired off their shot.
In upgrading the netcode, I didn't re-implement this feature. Some people may notice it and
feel ripped off. You are not, in fact, being ripped off by it. If you seem to get hit
behind a wall it's because you were not behind a wall when the HPB saw you. I beleive this
is balanced by the fact that a LPB can spot a HPB before the HPB sees them, and often
the reaction time leads to the HPB getting killed before he fires off a shot. Normally
the LPB will win in any "surprise" situations.
I'll add in the wall check for 2.6 if people feel the wall issue is a huge problem. For now
I want people to know that it's not giving anyone an unfair advantage, it just feels odd.
Server admins please leave master2 in your server.cfg open and DO NOT assign it a master
server, as by default will send a heartbeat to the Urban Terror Master Server. If you have
master2 assign, just move that master server to something other than server2.
Fixes:
* client info was being corrupted by new team skins code; fixed
* large amounts of data going to the server added in 2.4 removed (less server lag)
* problem with bots fixed (the 999 bug)
* follow enemy now works correctly with the /follow command
* cg_deferPlayers now works correctly
* unlocked r_gamma
* added 4 new lock cvars
* added small delay on zoomin that prevents snipers from gaining full
accuracy immediately; this is to stop script exploits that let people
fire accurately while unzoomed
Features:
* added environmental lighting to decals and particle effects
* helmet now more effective
Changes to weapons:
* there have been NO changes to damage of any weapons in this release
* MP5 spread and movement penalty increased
* UMP45 spread and movement penalty increased
* G36 movement penalty reduced (more accurate when running)
Known Issues
============
There were a few things we didn't get a chance to fix, but are aware of:
* weapons are not totally balanced (see above)
* LPBs can apparently get hit behind walls (see above)
* cg_bobup and cg_bbpitch cvars locked to their default values
and cannot be set to 0. People who are used to setting these
to 0 (like Vynnski :) will notice the bob is back until 2.6
* weapons sometimes seem to revert to burst mode for some people
* hand skin can sometimes be wrong until respawn if you change skins

Note on netcode
===============
The netcode in 2.4 is essentially the same netcode that Apoxol developed in an earlier
release of Urban Terror. While we did use the public domain code released by the Q3
anti-lagged mod, that code is very similar to the original UT code, as Apoxol and Neil
spent some time working through various issues with each other. The result is a synthesis
of Urban Terror specific netcode (to account for ARIES) and anti-lagged mod netcode.
The main advantage in the 2.4 netcode is better calculation of latency for players with low
pings. In other words, LPBs should see the greatest difference in accuracy in 2.4.
The netcode does *not* do hit detection on the client-side and does not affect prediction
of player positions. What it does is calculate hit detection on the server using player
data that simulates what the client would have seen on their screen at the time they shot.
The netcode also does *not* predict impact effects. If you fire at a wall and you have a high
ping there will still be a delay between firing and impact. Beta 3.0 may have client side
impact effects added in as an option for those HPBs who like to pretend they have cable ;)
Beta 2.3

Beta 2.1
==============
[07.10.01]
New stuff:
- ut_echo command added to replace the standard echo command.

- When spectating another player their team color should now appear in the hud rather than the players original team
