• SMGs get a range increase.

• Falloff distances for SMGs have been improved to reduce micro hits at medium distances.

• UMP 45 gets a small armor ratio buff and a very minor cycle time buff.

• P90 gets a armor ratio debuff to bring it more in line with its smg brethren rather than make it as good if not better than entry level rifles.

• TBots that try to plant in an invalid space will quickly give up and pick a new place to try to plant now.

• A knife kill in Arms Race now only sets you back a weapon level if you were killed by an enemy.

• The C4 now has a short (0.5 second) grace period for defusing, during which time the player can interrupt and resume defusing. This restores the old 0.5 second latency that existing in CS for defusing, but also maintains the newer preferred ability to stop defusing without the player being inexplicably stuck for up to 0.5 seconds. This also greatly reduces the chance that small lag/packet loss events will result in the defuse being interrupted.

• Added missing motion blur option to the Advanced Video Settings menu. The Advanced Video options have been reorganized: global shadow quality is now at the top, and the two anti-aliasing settings have been moved together.

The 0.5.0 version of silEnT mod is out.

Download

The amount of changes below might suggest that 0.5.0 is not a huge improvement, but believe us it is a huge step forward.

Here we present the main features:

• silEnT GUID, the new silEnT GUIDs replace the PB GUIDs in everywhere, but compatibility is provided for the old PB GUIDs also
  
• Admin Level Protection (ALP), with this mechanism, the server can ensure that admins on protected levels are properly authenticated
  
• g_cheatLog, server will log all non gaming related information into this log if enabled
  
• g_XPSaveMinXP, when this value is set to above 0 or above, the XP save system will use different timestamp for the XP save then the rest of the database. This allows cvars like g_XPSaveMaxAge_xp to work correctly.
  
• Referee hack attempts are logged
  
• dboptimize server console command. Read the manual for more information. Do note that this command is server resource intensive and should not be used often.
  
• Support for revive spree sounds. Admins can add custom sound files revive3.wav, revive5.wav and revive10.wav under the sound/announces if they like.
  
• Debriefing, mouse wheel scrolling of the lists when the cursor is over the list, not only over the scroll bar
  
• Omnibot support for tripmines (tripmines can be planted by bots)
