Release Notes for 4/28/2015

28 Apr 2015 -

[GAMEPLAY]
– Fixed a few cases where reserve ammo was shared between multiple weapons. All weapons now individually handle their own reserve ammo.
– sv_autobuyammo now defaults to 0.
– If a player spawns with a smoke grenade in classic competitive, it counts toward their maximum smoke grenade purchases for that round (i.e., they cannot purchase a second smoke grenade).
– Fixed HE grenade particle system drawing improperly sometimes with other particle systems (like smokes volumes).

[MISC]
– Added 10 new community sticker offers, and a new community sticker capsule featuring work by Enfu.
– Added support for alternative voice communication codecs. While running a server, use +sv_voicecodec vaudio_celt to use the CELT voice codec, instead of the Speex codec which is used by default.
– Added support for Phong on world materials. See Train for examples of such materials.

[OPERATION VANGUARD]
– Operation Vanguard has come to a close.

[MAP GROUPS]
– Train has been added to the Active Duty map pool.
– Nuke has been moved to the Reserve map pool.

[GAMEPLAY]
– Smoke grenades are now more reliably kept track of on the client to prevent mismatches between smoke particle visuals and screen overlay visuals.
– Fixed players being able to double stack inside a smoke to peek out of the top (and be really hard to see from outside the smoke).
– Updated expiration of the smoke screen overlay to match more closely to the visuals of when the third person particles expire and vice versa.
– Updated the vertical position slightly of the smoke particles to reduce seeing though edges of the smoke (particularly at the bottom).
– Fixed spectator sometimes not getting the smoke overlay for the player they are spectating when that alive player is inside smoke.
– Improved spawnpoint selection code to not spawn at occupied spawn points or spawn points of a different team.
– Tagging values have been tweaked slightly to increase tagging on higher mobility weapons, and updated values for tagging on multiple hits to make it more effective (Added a guide to explain how tagging works: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=412879303
– Increased price of the M4A1-Silencer from 3100 to 3200 to align the weapon’s price with its utility.
– Increased Tec-9’s damage fall-off to reward players that close engagement distance.
– Lowered Tec-9’s magazine size to 24 to reward more discriminate firing.
– Lowered scoped movement values for AWP and Autosnipers.
– The accuracy of the MP9, MP7, and Mac-10 have been improved.

[STATRAK]
– Trade up contracts work on StatTrak weapons.
– There is now a StatTrak swap tool available for purchase. It swaps the StatTrak value between two of the same weapon.

[SERVER BROWSER]
– Fixed the server browser showing the map workshop path in the “Map” column.
– Added a sortable column to the server browser to display whether a server is running a map from the workshop or not.
– Added a sortable column to the server broswer that displays icons for popular game mods running on that server.
– Server browser will save the layout changes made between game sessions.
– Updated the first time server browser pop up message.

[UI]
– Fixed scoreboard hiding at match end when you bring up a player’s Steam profile.
– Added a game option in team options section to control whether lobbies get created with public access or private requiring invites for friends.
– Added Flavor Text to the Bank collection.

[MISC]
– Add surround sound support (quad/5.1) on Linux.
– Marked nav commands as a cheat to protect against potential server exploits.
– Chicken kills are now logged in CS event logs on game servers including attacker and weapon information.
– HE grenade detonations are now logged in CS event logs prior to logging player deaths from corresponding HE grenade explosion.
– Added sv_reliableavatardata 2 game server setting for LAN tournaments production. In this mode the game server will load player avatars from corresponding csgo/avatars/76512345678-.rgb files (or csgo/avatars/default.rgb if the corresponding SteamID avatar is missing), and avatars will be recorded in GOTV demos. To produce avatars rgb files tournament operators can place 64×64 png player avatars as csgo/avatars/76512345678-.png and run the client-side command cl_avatar_convert_rgb to convert all 64×64 png files into rgb format.
