Beta Release 1.6 07 Jun 2002

- NeoTF can now run as a metamod plugin or standalone. Big thanks
to RedFox (of FoxBot, http://www.foxbot.net) for coding the metamod
integration!

- Added a "welcome message" (console greeting) when client connects.
Admins can modify "ntf_welcome.txt" to present a custom message.

- Replaced Scout tesla coil MG upgrade with Displacer MG.
This MG will teleport the victim to random locations in the vicinity
of their original location and then return them to their original
location to apply teleport damage.

- Added Bounce Pad as Engineers second Buildable
When in range of a friendly BouncePad use "FORWARD" and "JUMP"
keys in combination while moving forward to get a large boost. To get
a smaller vertical boost use "USE" key. Building and use of BouncePad costs
armor, which are controlled via 2 different CVARS. You may not build or use
BouncePads while carrying flags. BouncePads have a 2 minute lifespan
and are immediately detonated by enemy EMP's. BouncePads can be
built and dismantled (if in range) with the same commands:
"buildspecial2" and "bouncepad". There is a small dismantle delay enforced.

- Sniper's can now restock their flashgrens from friendly MedDisps if they
walk up to one and hit their "USE" key. There is a restock interval of
30 seconds per player, regardless of how many available MedDisps.

- HWGuys Share feature upgraded.
Armor will now be given out in the following class grouping: Light, Medium
and Heavy armored; with the respective armor levels: 50, 100 and 150.
For example; Demomen, Medics and Spies will receive 100 armor.

- Replaced Scout Airstrike with NeoTF Ring of Shadows (RoS) powerup.
When activated this powerup will make you "invisible" to TFC Sentry guns
and all NeoTF Multiguns (NOT Players!!!) for a short period of time
(15-25 seconds min/max, default of 20) which is controlled via a server CVAR.
If you pick up a flag, with an active RoS powerup a CVAR (off by default)
determines if your RoS powerup deactivates immediately. You may NOT
activate the RoS while carrying flags.

- Engineer's EMP's now damage/destroy Multiguns and cause
Mines (Landmines and Sensor Mines) and Bounce Pads to detonate.
NOTE: The EMP will only target/damage the nearest device in range.

- Llamacage functionality expanded:
While a llamacage exits and has llamas teleported to it (limit of 3 per cage):
Caged Llamas will automatically convert to Civilian class for easy
identification and ridicule. Some TFC commands and all general NeoTF
commands will be blocked for the Llama, a server CVAR will cause them to
suicide if they try to use any of those commands. A server CVAR will
control the automatic re-caging of Llamas if they are killed or suicide
while in a cage. There are 3 cage tortures to inflict on the llamas,
all controlled by CVARs.

- Added NeoTF admin commands

- Modified Soldier remotes:
- Soldier remote deployment will be restricted by the same NoBuild code as
all other buildspecials (multiguns, mines gren pods etc).
- Soldier Apache remotes (for Blue and Green Teams only) will become more
transparent at an angle of declination of 15 degrees, to aid visibility
and target acquisition while piloting the aircraft.
- Soldier remotes (old or new) will now be destroyed if in flight while a
Round Over event occurs (Epicenter, Warpath, cz2, Flagrun all cap etc.)

- The counters of all non-reneweable specials: Flashgrens, FreezeThrower,
Teleport Disks, Ring of Shadows, Bounce Pads and Soldier Remotes will be
restored after a Round Over event occurs. NOTE: specials that use the
statusbar for HUD Ammo display (FreezeThrower and Soldier Remotes), will
not be updated until they're used again.

- Added "ntf_disabled" cvar. This variable is only read at mapchange. If
set to "1", ALL neotf features will be disabled.

and will always be set to "1". Useful for creating neotf query filters.

- Fixed FreezeThrower speed bug.
