Warfork Update #1
Hey all,
We apologize for being so quiet lately, but a substantial amount of time has been put into planning, bringing volunteers on board, and getting things off the ground. Please understand that the total concurrent players will remain low as we're not marketing the game in Early Access. Our goal is to complete the features mentioned in the Early Access FAQ and release in ~January 2020. In the meantime here is a very small update to address some key issues and feature requests.
Note: Server owners please enable automatic updates on your servers. If anyone is looking for an updated server to play on please connect to the forbidden.gg ones.
:: Changes from 2019.08.16 to 2019.10.09
General:
- Added Damage Numbers which can be customized in Options.
- Updated placeholder sounds. Most of the sounds were converted from stereo into mono to make them work correctly in 3D space. Also their volumes were adjusted and normalized in order to avoid clipping and make them more balanced to each other. Some sounds were reworked and swapped to make more the sense. And last but not least, hitsounds are now variable depending on the damage.
- Replaced weapons placeholder sounds with new WIP (Work in Progress) sounds. Note: Please comment with feedback below to help us improve the sounds.
- It is now possible to switch to OpenAL sound module on Windows, as it gets preinstalled by Steam on the game installation.
- Allowed bots to bunnyhop in every gametype.
- Updated localizations, overall translated text has been increased for 50% by our volunteers from Transifex.
- Updated and fixed HUDs.
- New Zoom effect.
- Added a basic flash window highlight if someone mentions your name.
- Added a new countdown message.
- Critical Effect disabled by default for new players. Note: Existing players should disable it in Options.
- PNG Screenshot support added. Removed TGA screenshot support. If you wish to take a jpg screenshot use Steam.
- Fix callvote cooldown on votes that never started.
- The intro video will no longer attempt to play upon launching the game the first time.
- Added maps wfca2, wfctf5, wfdm20, wfdm3, wfdm8. Updated wftutorial1 (map description) and wfamphi1's ceiling.
- The console will now display a maximum of 3000 lines instead of 500, which allows commands such as "cvarlist" to be executed and read fully.
Engine:

- Shorter default time for g_vote_electtime from 40 to 20 seconds.
- Run at fixed maxfps=60 if disconnected
- Fixed callvotes with g_inactivity_maxtime 0
- Console message coloring for various ERRORs\Warnings.
