Players & Skills

• Activating perks will give you full hp.
• Elimination Team Perks will no longer reset/re-activate while a perk is already active.
• Changed the ammo sharing system, you no longer drop ammo, you share ammo for the gun you are currently holding with players who request ammo through the voice wheel, as long as your guns have matching ammo type, you can share.

HUD & VGUI

• Simplified the capture zone HUD, also fixed cases where it would run off the screen.
• Added more loading tips.
• Fixed a bug in the end map vote menu, the layout should be properly flexible now.
• Refreshing the end map vote menu will now always give new options, rather than just doing another random selection, this will go on until all options have been presented, at that point it will reset and do a new random selection.
• Fixed 2D keypad menu, used through bb2_prop_button.

AI & NPCs

• Bosses no longer have to reload their weapons.
• Zombies will no longer try to hit you if you are way above them, fixes some NAV issues.
• Crawling zombies / gibbed zombies will no longer go through displacements in some rare cases.
• Updated NAV cost function to increase cost for ladder routes, and to decrease cost for crouch routes. Zombies should now only try to climb if there are no other viable alternatives.

Entities

• Weapons will have a red glow if they have no ammo.
• You will now get more ammo when you replenish ammo for the Sawed Off.

• Added revert option to the trigger_player_block brush entity, this is useful if you want anything else but X to pass through it.

• Improved color_correction and color_correction_volume, both are now fully client simulated, and multiple of the same correction type can be put around the map.
• Added min and max zombie count to zombie_volume, the value is determined by the amount of players in the game (scaling).
• Removed spawn frequency from zombie_volume, replaced spawn frequency convar with bb2_zombie_spawn_freq_min and bb2_zombie_spawn_freq_max.
• Fixed zombie_volume spawn wave timer, for each spawned zombie, the timer should be pushed forward by X sec.
• Improved zombie_volume visibility checks, the traces will now ignore static props, only brushes block their line of sight.
• smart_trigger and character type filter entity can now filter by non-infected players.

• trigger_capturepoint can now fire the OnTouch output at a given interval.
• trigger_soundscapes will now activate their target soundscape even if you cannot see it, and it can be set to not disable this soundscape when you leave the trigger bounds.
