It's time for another BB2 update, before it goes public on Friday we'd love to get some players in for a beta test tomorrow at roughly 8pm CEST.

Feel free to opt into the beta branch and help out testing the new stuff!

Current Changes:

Base

• Added latest SDK 2013 MP bins.

Gamemodes

• Decreased weapon removal time in Deathmatch to 45 sec.
  
• Propane tanks will now be removed after 15 sec in PvE and after 35 sec in PvP. (was 12 before, regardless of gamemode)

NPCs

• You can no longer insta kill Bandit npcs under certain circumstances.
  
• Reverted AI state ALERT force for Bandit npcs.
  
• Minor AI changes.

• Bash anims will now be smoothed out in thirdperson like the other melee anims.
  
• Players should no longer get stuck in slide mode. (animation)
  
• Fixed un-stuck algorithm, sometimes when you for example activated Reality Phase or became infected you would be thrown into solid area, if you were crouching in a tiny area.
  
• Dropped ammo will be removed on death / disconnect, in order to prevent entity spamming. (the ammo associated to the player who dropped it)

HUD & VGUI

• The main-menu will no longer reset whenever you die or the round restarts/starts.

• Increased Speed skill from 2.5 to 3.0.

A new patch for BB2 is on the horizon, feel free to join in for a beta test this Sunday, 1pm CEST.

Some noticable changes:

• Hammer will now read the hammer folder instead of brainbread2 in order to allow specific file overrides for hammer editor + no more workshop loading..
  
• FMOD will now play sound files outside of the root/sound folder, example root/custom/<addon>/sound/*
  
• Fixed Elmination weapon spawning, no more ♥♥♥♥♥♥ weps.
  
• The server will now exec : cfg/maps/<mapName>.cfg whenever the map starts.
  
• Fixed slide bounding box, you can now slide into tinier areas, into vens, out of vents, etc..
  
• The slide is now much more smooth.
  
• You can now sidemove while sliding.
  
• Added the G36C.
  
• Weapons will now be removed (when dropped) after 80sec in Deathmatch and Elimination mode instead of 15 sec.
  
• Simplified bb2_prop_button.
  
• Fixed up the gameinfo.txt, vpk files would have priority over files under brainbread2/brainbread2/*
  
• Fixed inventory item, ammo entities and powerup entities dropping, they will no longer clip into the world which could prevent people from picking them up.

The time has come for the first official beta test, we'll be scheduling a test for this Sunday at 1 pm CET.

• Opt into the beta branch.
  
• Join an official beta test server.

• Added the logic_inventory_check entity which works like the trigger version pretty much.
  
• Added skin support for inventory items.
  
• The workshop handler will now handle input command arguments when it has been fully initialized, meaning you can now launch the server with for example +workshop_update_items to auto update stuff.

• Fixed Beretta and Glock17 firing issues.
  
• Fixed issues related to the end map voting system, when for example having deathmatch maps only.

Cheers
