[HO] Counter Strike 2

Gameplay:
• Update to bot aiming system. Players should see a substantial decrease in the ability of bots to get perfect shots on moving targets, especially at lower difficulty levels. Bots now can react poorly (or well) to enemies that are dodging/strafing, and also must now account for their own movement while shooting.
• Moved the setting of maxplayer from maps to modes in gamemodes.txt.
• Increased Casual money rewards, per Beta feedback.
• The difficulty of the upper tier bots has been increased.
• Updating movement values to community vetted numbers. Thanks Wombo!

Weapons:
• The max penetration distance has been increased to 7.5 feet.
• Increased recoil of the AK-47.
• Slightly lowered recoil and increased accuracy of the Famas.
• Increased armor penetration and increased damage of the MP7.
• Increased damage and increased movement speed of the SSG08.
• Decreased accuracy of the Tec-9.
• Increased damage of the UMP45.
• Fixed the “quick switch exploit” that allowed players to bypass slow weapon cycle times by switching weapons.
• Increased the duration of the AWP deploy animation to 1.25 seconds.
• Reduced the strength of the flashbang.
• Berettas no longer shift horizontally when their accuracy changes.
• The SSG08 texture has been updated.
• Added rumble effect to knife.
• Fixed grenades becoming stuck on players or inside them when thrown from within a player volume.
• Changed grenades to bounce more realistically off of players.
• Players should no longer be able to boost off of grenades.
• Reduced the opacity core radius for player standing inside a smoke grenade.

Animations:
• Updated the AWP viewmodel firing animation. This was inspired by community feedback that suggested more towards-the-viewer recoil and less vertical recoil.
• Added some recoil to the SSG08 rifle viewmodel firing animation.
• Updated the 3rd person CT firing pose for SSG08. This fixes major shoulder and elbow popping, minor forearm popping on transition between firing and idle while crouched.
• Updated the following viewmodel firing animations:
-- Berettas
-- AK-47
-- M4A4
-- Desert Eagle
-- Galil AR

UI:
• Added full screen windowed mode to video options.
• Removed Quick Match from the Play Menu.
• Updates have been made to the Vote UI:
-- The vote thumbs and counts now also display on the vote result, so you get a summary of why it passed or failed.
-- Now when a vote fails because it was cast recently, we show that warning message before we would show the failure for an individual voter recently casting a failed vote.
-- Fixed the result numbers sometimes not showing the very last vote that caused it to succeed or fail.
-- The player list is now scrollable when there are more than 10 selectable players.
-- Added a new convar - "sv_arms_race_vote_to_restart_disallowed_after" that should be set to the weapon level after which no restart match vote will be accepted. This convar is currently set in GameModes.txt for each of the modes of play, and is set so that a vote to restart will work until someone reaches the knife level.
• Updated the text for the Loading screen hints.
• Updated weapon grind achievement descriptions to match their new values.

• Updated the Options menu to use wider text fields.
• Updated the T icon.
• Update to the options screen slider control:
-- You can now double click the box to select the whole number string.

• Scoreboard improvements:
-- Updated the Win Banner to be more in line with rest of UI.

-- Bullet decals now work on the interior surfaces of the safe.
• Inferno
-- Fixed a bug where a tree was growing out of a trash pile texture near Logs.
-- Fixed a bug where a Bot with the bomb is unable to get out of the fountain at bombsite B.

Audio:
• New Voice Overs added for Terrorist and Counter-Terrorist units.
• Fixed the looping ambience for Lake.
• Players grabbing a hostage, planting a bomb, defusing a bomb, and players close to a bomb that is about to explode now all say something over the radio informing their team of what's happening.
• Player now brags over the radio when he's dominating someone.
• Players now cheers over the radio when the win scoreboard is up when the match is won by his team.
• Fixed a bug in the exponential panning mode.
• Added snd_headphone_pan_mode and snd_speaker_pan_mode convars that specify using 0 = exponential, 1 = equal power, 2 = GoldSrc (trigonometric) for both headphone and speaker monitoring situations. This differentiation is important for setting system defaults and we may even consider differentiating surround circumstances as the speaker positioning does.
• Split front/rear speaker position options for stereo versus surround. In CS:GO, stereo speaker configurations are going to want the broadest range of positional data, whereas surround systems should default to 45 degree corners, which gives both resolution and sensitivity. Adding these was largely so we can supply the best default settings possible.
• Default panning method is now based (again) on an exponential curve but with an adjusted 1.22 exponent. This not only makes for less inter-speaker blurring but was determined to be the flattest xfade response in decibel level testing. Equal power remains as an option.
• New convar options have reasonable doc strings.
• Added snd_speaker/headphone_pan_radial_weight, which applies the "GldSrc" stil cosine weighting but weighted by this float convar. this allows for 1.6 style side weighting but with the exponential center weight allowed by exponential mode.
• Removed all dsp from first person weapon sounds.
• Added burn damage sound entry start operator to block subsequent damage sound for 1.0 seconds.
• Crossfade from "near" gunfire to "distant" gunfire is now smooth, fixing the bug wherein distant sounds first got quieter then louder the further they were from the listener
-- Added exponential function to the "near" / "distant" crossfade operators.
-- "distant" weapon fire mix group has been increased significantly to offset the reduction in decibel levels.
• Added "pow" function to math operator to facilitate non-linear crossfades in operator stacks.
• Added a parameter that discounts "player sound" status when determining the distance of a sound that is currently hardcoded into the operators system ("source 1" legacy).. "force_not_player_sound"
• Changed all of the new sounds spatialization options to use the following denial test if(sv.IsActive() && !sv_cheats.GetBool())
-- This prevents players from changing their settings during a non-cheat enabled game but allows them to tweak them during a cheat enabled game.
• Fixed a bug that was always playing the AK47 sounds from the same location
• Famas - lengthened sound to smooth the 3 shot burst
• Small edit to the ak47_shoot, rate at beginning of wave lengthened and pitch slightly lowered in this area as well.
• Re-authored the footsteps to increase clarity and remove mush, they are also louder and now more distinct within the world.

Effects
• Fixed a bug with the weapon shell eject effect. The highest-quality level of the effect (which usually accounted for the first three shots fired in a sequence) was using some complicated stuff for the shell bounce that was inadvertently sending the shell flying off in wrong directions at high velocities. The bug was observed on the AUG (rifle shell), but was also present on several other types of shell ejects.
• A bunch of hit impact effects have had some of their previous POW restored.
• Blood impacts are less randomly angled and more obvious overall now.
• Updated tracers speeds.
• r_drawtracers_firstperson is now visible and archived and fixed.
• Smoke grenade effect now has reduced draw order issues.
• Smoke grenade effect no longer has a great disparity between the screen fog effect and the world fog sprites.
• Reduced the length of time the particle smoke/dust lasts after an HE grenade explodes.
• C4 explosions now have a core explosion that happens right at the bomb itself (so it doesn't look odd when you are spectating or defusing it when it goes off)
• Spectators and observers now have a significant reduction in flashbang effect done to them.

General Bug Fixes:
• Fixed player interrupting another player defusing the bomb by walking in front of them.
• Fixed player names running too long in the call vote kick player panel.

• The G3SG1 model now has the safety switch set to 'F'.
• The Galil AR model no longer has the light burn on the side plate.
• Fixed issue that let the player crouch and slide around with C4.
• Fixed the penetration code checking a minimum distance of 2 feet after the first impact for the next impact to happen (this fixes surfaces getting ignored if the first wall penetrated was less than 2 feet think - which is pretty common)
-- The material blockbullets_cs now completely blocks bullets regardless of penetration.
-- Maximum penetration distance has been reduced from 10.6 feet to 4 feet.
• Fixed a bug in Demolition mode where bonus grenade rewards were being called out as achieved but not always given.
• Fix for bug where a spectated player with the AUG/SSG zooms in, the spectator sees the muzzle of the weapon.
• Fix for z-fighting on Phoenix arms at the wrist on the left side that occurs when carrying the knife and looking directly upwards.

• Warmup mode will no longer happen in an offline match now.
• The game won’t ignore spectators when deciding to end the Warmup round.
• Fixed the Demolition gun progression panel not showing up if you were controlling a bot at the end of the round. Also fixed the progress displaying incorrectly.

• Fix for Safehouse and Shorttrain Map Veteran Medals not working.
• Fixed revenge count achievement not progressing in Demolition mode.
• Fixed a case where the Arms Race message, "Alert - You are the new leader" was displaying in Demolition mode.
• Fix for the Friendly Firearms Achievement being unattainable. It could not be unlocked if the weapon was not purchased that round. Now the game tracks the prior team ownership when a weapon is dropped. This enables the game to know if a weapon was ever owned by a given team. This value is now used to determine if and when a kill is made with a weapon that once belonged to the killed player's team.
• Fix for friendly fire messages not including the (BOT) prefix.
• Arms Race now shows the correct next weapon when you start a new game.
• Fixed case where if your vote failed previously, you wouldn’t get the vote button strings on the next vote cast by another player.
• Fixed potential bug where some players wouldn't get a voting dialog panel when others cast a vote.

• Fixed the player being unable to see the radar icon for the bomb they dropped if they took over a bot.
• When scrambling teams during Demolition Mode gameplay, we now reset the game data when the round restarts.
• Fixed third person weapons not animating.
• A fix was made to ensure the [E] Takeover Bot navigation hint is not displayed on the spectator menu inappropriately. It was shown when you changed teams mid round, even though you couldn't actually take over the bot.
• Fixed a performance issue caused by changelevel being invoked twice after a change level vote.
• Fixed a crash that would allow a server operator to crash clients with bad vote commands.
• Fix for the vote UI not sorting to the background when the user opens the buy menu.
• Fix for the Call Vote popup disabling the Left and Right arrow keys.
• Fix for the Voting UI putting mouse focus back to the game while team select screen is open.
• Fix for not being able to vote while the achievements screen is up.
• Fix for a scenario where stepping into molotov fire sometimes turns the screen black. Reduced opacity of screen-space smoke effect at the molotov's core from 1.0 to 0.75.
-- Also removed some extraneous tings from the molotov explosion and reduced the lifetime on the molotov inferno's embers, which were artificially enlarging the effect's bounding box.
• Fix for bound key picking the wrong grenade.
• Dropped weapons fly slightly more upwards when thrown from a dead player
• Fix for some MVP issues. The game still disallows controlled bots being the MVP, but players are allowed to be chosen MVP. This fix displays the player name correctly as well as allowing players to be selected even if they've taken over a bot.
-- This also fixes Top Kills being broken when you take over a bot.
• Hostages break glass that they touch now. This fixes hostages in cs_office getting stuck trying to run through the big panes of glass sometimes.
• Tightened tolerance for CSBots to defuse the bomb. Fixes edge cases where bots think they are close enough to defuse, but are not so they stand there like zombies.
• Fixed the ragdoll force being too high.
• Fixed the Buy Menu inventory not being populated or correct when you first open the buy menu.
• Fixed the preview panel in the Buy Menu not showing preview data (can buy, owned, etc)
• Disallowing five achievements in Arms Race because they did not make sense or were too easy to unlock for that game mode.
• Fixed a bug where your inventory display wouldn't get updated properly in some cases when you took over a bot.
• Fixed a bug where a bot was issuing the wrong radio commands after the new radio code implementation.
• The game will no longer show a "Game Commencing" message when the game starts.
• Fixed a bug where last known nav area could stay permanently NULL due to a bad traceline on displacement terrain. We now trace from the player's WorldSpaceCenter() downwards instead of their GetAbsOrigin() (their feet).
• Fixed bug with CNavMesh::GetNavArea() that would return NULL if a nav area was below the ground at all. It now allows for StepHeight (18 unit) tolerance below ground. This was causing CSBots to sometimes go "zombie" and stop moving, particularly at spawn at round restart.
• The game no longer shows "Rounds Left" in the scoreboard when playing Arms Race.
• Fixed the game mode label having a " - " in the Scoreboard.
• Fix for bug in de_train where shooting while strafing + crouching on the green dumpster prop causes unintended behavior.

• Fix a race condition in the main menu animation if you enter a submenu and immediately cancel out of it while the main menu is still closing
• Fixed case where the earned Achievements in the Win Panel wouldn’t clear their images so if you earned multiple Achievements in one round and only one in the next, the ones you earned in the last round would still show on the panel.
• Fixed a memory overrun when a second controller was connected.
• Fixed 'One Shot One Kill' awarding based on second bullet kills.
• Changed 'Medalist' to award after 100 medals instead of requiring 100% completion.
• Fix for a bug where pulling the network cable on your PC while ingame eventually triggers Steam signout, taking you back to the main menu.
• Fixed issue where we were displaying the raw map name before transitioning to it when the match ended. This was also fixed in the vote panel.
• Fixed HE Grenade/ molotov not recording kill stats.
• Fixed linux DS crash - for pc, we show the raw map name in the chat when we announce the next map just like we used to because we can't assume we know that map name has a localized token.
• Fixed logic bug that would not correctly cancel-out splashes when the player was running.
• Fix for duplicate game instructor messages displaying when rescuing the hostages.
• Fix for target ID over a player displaying default "target area" text.
• Fixed the thin lines showing on the target IDs before the first time they were filled in.
• Changed “War Bonds” Achievement to $50,000 earned.
• Fix for bug where user is spectating through the POV of a recently disconnected/quit player, they will be able to see out of world once their character despawns.

• Fix for bug where throwing grenades on certain slopes will result in them slowly skittering down the slope rather than coming to rest and exploding.
• Fix for a bug that made it possible to throw smoke grenades in such a way that teammates can enter the smoke radius without seeing or hearing the smoke, completely immune to its effect.
• Fixed the brightness value slider showing values from highest to lowest.
• Fixed SECOND and SECONDS in the "match is restarting" alert being hard-coded and not localized.
• Reworded the description of "First Things First" and "Target Secured" Achievements to match what the code expects you to do to achieve it as they were perceived as unawardable.

• Removing this convar [ CSGO - sv_allow_lobby_connect_only ] for CSGO build, since we would like lobbies to always be associated with servers for community matchmaking.
• Removed setting of maxplayers before every session.
• Disabled maxplayers command, server now sets min/max/default maxplayers based on server.dll
• The game now forces extra spectator slots to 2.
• Kick a bot that a player is controlling now reverts the player to essentially display as alive. However, their stats still do not change until they are alive again properly
• Better logging info when a file fails the sv_pure check.
• Added support for the chat to use the same rules for chat visibility as is used for voice audibility.
• Disabled mode-based restrictions on showing Elo rank in scoreboard.
• Fix for vote UI having incorrect maps listed if the server runs custom map groups.
• Fixed some HUD elements not getting scaled properly.

• Fixed an issue where tracers were coming from the wrong spot when spectating.
• Now return correct number of max human players for server browser and master servers.

Matchmaking:
• Added a convar:mm_session_search_distance which allows us to bump session search distance to be able to find lobbies on Steam Beta (set to >=1).
• Fixed the search to not use -1 for numSlots, to not use a filter on numSlots and to not use bypasslobby, but rather use game state filter.
• Fixed dedicated server reporting numSlots no greater than 16 even when running PC casual with 20 slots, will still need to do client-side work to not stomp that value.
• Fixed a bug where Korean characters could not be typed in chat.
• Fixed several bugs with session slots:
-- When transitioning from PWF lobby to an official dedicated server we increase members limit to 20.
-- Dedicated servers now report numSlots representing max human players
• Session created based on information from direct connect to community server will now preserve number of slots defined by the community server.
• Fixed a memory leak for searches that produce no results from play with friends. Message information about no results available only shows for community quick play, otherwise a new game is created without notifying user about it.
• Fixed number of slots not getting correctly set when auto creating a new game from an official matchmaking search that didn't return any results.
• PWF happens only on official or listen servers. Play with friends now finds a dedicated server for public game correctly.
Community Support
• Added a callback into server.dll that can send client messages before engine advances sign on state to connected state. This lets server to pass data to client before client starts loading map and precaching models.
• CSGO will send information about viewmodels and player models, max players and maplist down to clients since clients do not necessarily have info about mapgroup and map played by the server.
• Community quick play search will no longer attempt to create a new lobby if it fails to find an existing lobby to join.

Known issue:
- Mini scoreboard occasionally shows the wrong number of players.
