🔫 Block League

  • Block League reaches 1000 unique players!
  • Bugfix: it was possible to go under the map in some areas of Neden2

Kindly reported by jhony

  • Bots: quicker departures after respawning

Bots reuse routes they already know instead of repeating the same calculations after every death, allowing them to get back into action quickly!

  • Bots: improved close-range defence

Defenders and supports now prioritise sword pushes when an enemy within 20 nodes of their base comes within sword reach, especially the ball carrier. They also switch to another loaded gun when their preferred one is empty or reloading, to prioritize immediate damage.

  • Bots: better spacing during fights

Bots move sideways to spread out when a teammate is on the same firing line, while continuing towards their destination.

  • Bots: fixed unnecessary slowing near ledges and back-and-forth movement at defensive positions
  • Bots: fixed team compensation adding too few bots when one team had more human players

✏️ Quikbild

  • The wordlist got some seasonal and spooky words 🎃

🏟️ Hub

  • Players reported a spooky trap…
  • Barriers in the tree have been removed, so exploring it is now easier

❓ Misc

  • Fixed warning when joining the server with the client set to German

The fix was simple, but figuring this out took a while. For the curious: A leftover from a Git rebase inadvertently survived the conversion to the newer translation format and caused issues in the end

📅 Coming next

  • Halloween event lasts until November 4: get your title!
