CS Server Beta - Flashbang Fix

Posted by Blitz at 19:16 12/12/2002.

Eric Smith (VALVe) sends word that they've released a new beta server that should fix the problem where 'the flashbang grenade would not always flash all of the players'. Here's what he had to say:
We have a beta version of the Counter-Strike Server that's ready to be released. This beta version addresses the following issue:
  • Fixed a bug in Counter-Strike where the flashbang grenade would not always flash all of the players.
This release includes all of the changes from the previous beta releases. The details for each release are outlined in the included .txt file.

You can download the beta server here:
http://dev.valve-erc.com/?go=server_beta

All you need to do is download the appropriate file(s) and replace your old one(s). It's always a good idea to back-up your old versions first. Clients using 1.1.1.0/1.0.0.5 should not have any problems connecting to your servers.

If you have any questions, please let me know (erics@valvesoftware.com).

The file is available for both Windows and Linux.

i heard CZ had been 'handed' over to Ritual from Gearbox. This probably means CZ will end up abit of a mess, and a late release.

one thing i dont understand is, why is most he content that was going to be in CZ being made available in CS patches? thought it was all gonna be in CZ to buy : / [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

CS:CZ and CS are the same thing, but CS:CZ brings new graphics mainly, player models, etc which CS won't get. Or thats how I understand it anyway. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

cos Gearbox have the enviable rep of churning out mediocre rubber stamp games...

it's getting a bit late though - they're going to have to start looking at some serious engine optimisations and rewrites soon. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

CS:CZ = single player : new gfx,guns,single player maps etc

CS will = the CS:CZ multiplayer option, hence riot shield etc, but not everything from CS:CZ wil be implemented into CS online, only select things [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Thats the mystery I keep wondering.

He does mention about a complete new engine to the game, yet how both the online version of CS and the 'new engine' version of CS:CZ will work together I don't know.

The only guess I have is that the new engine is just for the single player of the game, I can't see them releasing a complete new engine online.... [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

sounds about right. 2 totally diff games.

you probably just get diff skins and stuff with the CZ multiplayer game.

and the single player will be... a totally seperate game.

woiuld explain why its taking so f***ing long! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

"A feature that should please the more boastful CS players will be the medal icons. On the leaderboard, each team will have an icon next to the name of the person with the most kills per round as well as who's had the most headshots. Each player name will also have an icon of the weapon they're using the most. This info will be updated in real-time and should provide for some entertaining info."

Leet tbh :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

the new engine still looks to be simply effects tacked on to the old halflife engine - if that new Gamespy feature is to be believed, or at least its screenshots, things will stay pretty much the same :(

so back to same old lo-res textures and antiquated s***... another opportunity missed. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I'm thinking about doing something here, maybe a weekly "Best of UKT" feature, or something more historical. Absolutely nothing topical!
