Support for the reflect setting (mp_friendlyfire 2) now properly works and will no longer spew lua errors into the console, while also logging who damaged who with how much damage. This info is critical to server owners that want to know what exactly went down in a match with this option enabled.
Even though git internally knows the difference between upper and lower case, all of it's commands rely on the file system to do so as well. This results in incorrect behavior when renaming A to a for example, as the source and destination is identical on the file system according to git. Windows does support such renames, but git seems to shit itself.
Name plates are an easy way to identify other players without looking at them or relying on the Target id to appear (which should no longer happen). Several new cvars have been added to make this possible:
- ph_nameplates_show: Show or hide name plates.
- ph_nameplates_scale: World scale, a value of 1 makes 1 pixel equal 1 unit.
- ph_nameplates_height: Height above the player.
- ph_nameplates_tint_hue
- ph_nameplates_tint_saturation
- ph_nameplates_tint_value
- ph_nameplates_tint_health: Tint nameplate using the remaining health, 100% health = green, 0% health = red.
- ph_nameplates_tint_team: Tint nameplates using the players team.
Before the 13th June 2016, the gamemode was indeed largely based on the version Kow@lski released to the Workshop (which was based on the original version AMT released). On 13th June 2016, I took it upon myself to completely rewrite the existing game mode to future proof it for years to come and make it incredibly easy to change.
This means that after the 13th June 2016, the sole author was and still is Michael Fabian 'Xaymar' Dirks.
The code was previously uploaded to GitLab on my own server, but that will soon no longer be available. Before this happens, here is the code and all updates that were done over there (matching the current released version).
