The team is pleased to unveil version 0.75 of Q4Max.
With two high profile Q4 tournaments in the next month, we have focused on adding new features to help competitors and spectators alike:
- New 1v1 scoreboard, now showing detailed individual player stats at a glance
- New Player Profiles system, a controlled-config manager that allows players to save and load only those options configurable through the GUI
- New Demo Browser, to make watching demos even easier
- Additional support for server demos
Team games also got their fair share of attention though, and Freeze Tag makes its Q4 debut in this release.
Freeze Tag is a team mode that has your opponents turn to popsicles when health reaches 0. Stand next to a frozen teammate to thaw them, returning them to the game. Win the round by freezing every member of the opposing team.
Both of the standard FT rulesets are supported: callvote mode FTEU or FTUS to give them a try. The differences between the rulesets are explained on the wiki.
Freeze Tag has been a popular game in both previous versions of Quake, and we're delighted to give the Q4 community its first chance to experience it.
For teamplay games in general, we've added distinct Strogg model sounds, allowing players to tell teammates and enemies apart by sound.
Amongst the items in the changelog, you'll see alot of lines marked Performance. This has been another key focus for the team, and we are very proud of the results. We are confident that the majority of players will find a noticable boost in FPS, especially if they take advantage of the new performance options. We've also tracked down and fixed a well-hidden physics bug that was causing erratic jumping issues (information passed back to id for inclusion in a future point release).
Eight months after the release of Quake 4, a Q3-style timer remains a commonly-requested feature. Since players are sometimes forced to switch between different mods for different competitions, we have decided to add support for the inverted timer for their benefit.
For additional changes and fixes, including improved statistics, Net on the TDM scoreboard etc, check the changelog.
