Version 0

It's been a long road with many delays, but we're finally ready to get this build out to you all.

**This build is a "clean build", so you'll need to move out all of your existing files and only copy back custom maps and replacements.**

I'd also like to congratulate Subaru for joining the team as a coder, and Supa for joining the team as a test lead.

## General additions/changes:

* Force Lightning is now visibly blocked by lightsabers, and blocking players are no longer electrocuted. (Aesthetics only, the behavior of the force power and lightsabers has not changed.)
* Blinding effects of TDs are now done in code, to prevent effects replacements from removing the blinding.
* Voicechat menu updated to allow movement while open.
* Added In-game server browser to escape menu.
* Added a version check to ensure that the server you are joining is running the most recent version of MBII.
* Players are once again able to view the HUD while spectating, as the benefits of removing the HUD were deemed outweighed by the negative results of hiding it.
* New serverside cvar, g\_HideHUDFromSpecs. Default 0, set to 1 to hide the HUD while spectating, for tournaments and such.
* Added USE\_TEAM\_DELAY\_WIN, UI\_TIMER spawnflags and message key to target\_delay (See Wiki).
* Added new Misc\_TurretG2 functionality.(See Wiki).
* Added variable sized map feature. This allows the keys min\_players and max\_players to be given to certain entities to adjust the flow of a map based on the number of players in game.(See Wiki).
* cg\_minimapalpha added. 1 is fully visible, 0 is fully hidden. Etc. 1 is default.
* Added smod command "smsay". This lets smod admins and subadmins talk to each other privately in game.
* Added smod command "who". This lets smod admins and subadmins see who else is logged in on the server.
* The generic timer is now triggered when the slap timer is set, so players can see how long they must wait before being able to slap again.
* Added hand gestures to the voice chat menu. These can be used as a silent voice chat. They are also accessible through the command hand\_cmd.
* Trolling commands r\_pri and userinfo disabled.
* Direct secondary grenade hits now turn off jetpacks.
* Allowed numBlades argument in FA mode.
* Force seeing changes:
	+ Effects changed to be more subtle.

* New menu background.
* Heros with quickthrow level 2 now use Special Button 2 in order to throw a secondary grenade and Special Button 1 to throw a primary grenade.

* Sabering Changes
	+ Trace and timing tweaks.
	+ Bodyhits now only drain 1 ACM
	+ Hitting someone who is perfectblocking adds .25 ACM
	+ When 2 ACM is reached, the defender cannot perfect block.
	+ Non swingblocked attacks now do 1.4 times more BP drain
	+ When using dual sabers, you can activate specials by holding use and attacking to the left\right (for side stabs) or attacking while running backwards (for the front+back stab)
