Algunos cambios

• Movida la opción de la Auto-Recarga a Opciones Avanzadas.
• Las armas basadas en balas que recargan con un cartucho completa a la vez ahora pueden abortar sus recargas disparando.

• Added a color blind option to add a Jarate icon above enemies who are busy accepting a terrifying existence where they have no dignity
• Significantly reduced the amount of network traffic being sent
• Capturing the flag in a CTF game mode gives the entire capturing team 10 seconds of critboost
• Sappers attached to a teleporter automatically place another Sapper on the other end of the teleporter, if it exists
• Engineers wrenching a teleporter will repair the other end as well, and remove Sappers from both if they exist
• Disguised Spies no longer trigger On-Hit effects (like the Blutsauger's heal)

• Added current map name and gametype to the bottom right of scoreboard
• Added class icons to tips on the loadout and loading screens

• Updated the loading panel to show the game type under the map name during level transition
• In-game chat dialog now supports full Unicode characters
• Added BLU main menu background
• Added response caching for some server queries to help reduce the CPU load from DOS attacks
• Teammates no longer block friendly radius damage. Prevents nearby teammates causing rocket/grenade jumps to fail

  • Fixed carts not continuing to the second round if they're capped at the same time in the first round

Item Reworks

• The Force-A-Nature
  • The enemy knockback now only `works in close range and behaves more like the Pyro's air blast
  • Enemies cannot be juggled by the FaN's effect
  • The self-knockback has also changed to respect the firer's view angle. Looking up while shooting will no longer propel the enemy upwards

• Fixed Timer HUD element backgrounds not being the correct color if you change teams during waiting for players
• Fixed a couple of issues with the way critboosts affected The Huntsman and the Spy's knife

Community requests
