Play in your browser, and the game sounds new

The biggest day so far. Our servers speak WebRTC now, so the Play page lists them and a click opens the game right in the browser: no download, no install.

New

• a transport layer on both sides: ENet on the desktop, WebRTC in the browser
• our own master server: the list of our servers, merged with the 0.75 one in the game
• ngCTF sounds next gen and the zombie mode sounds like a PS2 horror game: two sound sets of their own, with the classic ones everywhere else
• menus that tick and chime like the Xbox 360 dashboard
• sounds for picking a team, a class and a weapon, and the zombie’s dying groan
• zombie survivors may pick a class when the host allows it
• the Miner’s shotgun breaks a block with one shot
• aiming the rocket launcher zooms a little and keeps the crosshair
• plugins: “/” chat commands, a table kept across restarts, map edits and a refusable login
• a frame cap for the game and another for the menus
• the second team is the Green Team, and the scoreboard shows the team scores in big figures
• bots: Commandos draw the revolver up close, Miners tunnel under the ground, campers raise castle walls on their hills, jetpack wearers fly onto roofs, and squads fill up

Fixed

• putting down a landmine or a sentry no longer kills you
• a rocket is no longer refused now and then: the trigger does not spend it
• bodies no longer bob up and down on flat ground
• a damaged block’s cracks no longer come out in stripes on Metal
• bots no longer shoot the wall in front of an enemy
• an infected player gets its new body on every screen, instead of walking as a corpse
• a server that refuses the connection no longer closes the game
• the classic stingers play again, and far gunfire no longer sounds like a radar
• a 0.75 server’s team names show their accents
