War§ow - Free Standalone FPS
- Thread starter JonAmikar
- Start date
Didn't realize 0.41 was released.
Full Changelog
New Maps:
- added revised version of wdm10 with a new item layout, wdm10a.
- added two new CTF maps, wctf2 and wctf3.
New Features:
- added delay between getting off the flag stand and the timer counting up again (600ms).
- added jumping animation when using jump pads.
- added new callvote option "callvote kickban", which will temporarily ban a specified player from a server.
- added menu options for various graphical effects and player preferences.
- added option to alternate between map names (wdm1, wdm2, etc.) and map titles (Flew Over, etc.) in the start server menu.
- added new chasecam follow modes. Entering the follow modes is done by adding one of the following parameters to the chase command:
<player name or ID> will chase the given player.
"auto" will chase the highest fragger unless there's a flag or powerup carrier, in that order.
"carriers" will give the user pov control unless there's a flag or powerup carrier, in that order.
"flags" will give the user pov control unless there's a flag carrier.
"powerups" will give the user pov control unless there's a powerup carrier.
"score" will chase the highest fragger.
- added default autoexec file for Warsow TV (tvserver_autoexec.cfg).
- added feature that appends the current number of specs to TV server's name.
- added query protocol support to Warsow TV.
- added rcon support to Warsow TV, and a tv_rcon_password cvar to go with it.

Changes:

- modified rocket explosions to look slightly less intense.
- changed Warsow TV chat to look more distinct.
- modified CTF bonuses to be shown as awards.
- modified medium profile to use smaller texture sizes for portalmaps (256) and shadowmaps (512).

- default max Warsow TV clients (tv_maxclients) is now 32.
- modified Warsow TV chase commands to function identically to normal chase commands.
Fixes:

Its Quake 3 CPMA with faster, more evolved movement. You can press a key to "dash" which adds a whole new element to movement. This is essentially dodge from UT but you only have to press one key makes he movement smoother and more fluid. You can use it to gain speed while bunny-hopping/strafejumping and to kick off walls. This allows for some awesome tricks. The maps are designed with tricks in mind, so this adds to the skill & learning curve creating a satisfying experience.
The maps are outstanding. wdm3, wdm5, wdm6, wdm10, wdm9, wdm11, wdm15 are among the best maps from any DM shooter.
If you like Quake-style games, you must check this game out NOW. Its incredibly polished, and arguably the best incarnation of the Quake formula since 1999.

I just played a few rounds on (I believe is was called Amarillo DM) and the game is fantastic. I have to figure out which weapons are which lol. I noticed the grenade launcher has a little "pause" before it ejects which makes the skill of use higher! Is there an equivalent of a Railgun? I didn't see one in the maps so far
The Electrobolt was like the railgun in 0.2. Now the weak ammo fires a slow projectile and both ammos do weakish damage. It fires at a similar rate to a RG though.vilmer_ said:I just played a few rounds on (I believe is was called Amarillo DM) and the game is fantastic. I have to figure out which weapons are which lol.

ive played q3 (and qw) for a long time.. with a clan (tdm and ra) and all that..
i SOMETIMES still play ffa and 1on1.. but its mostly tf2 nowadays.
can anyone tell me why i should choose this instead of q3 osp?
ive tried it a long time ago and it did nothing that q3 not already accomplished.
so.. why this and not a real quake game?

Coming from osp, if you want bunnyhopping, dash(basically replaces circle jump), and walljump or you like the maps/strong ammo more.iddqd said:
With warsow being closer to CPM and you aren't playing that i'd say you probably don't miss bunnyhopping around corners and may not be interested in the other parts of movement in wsw.
There isn't some magic answer like wsw is superior, it is just another choice of game.
Myself I've been playing teewars instead the past 2 weeks and thinking about q2, cpm, q4.
