Removals

• Removed the built-in thirdperson feature
  • This feature was a remnant from older versions and was only implemented for the Redsun Over Paradise community
  • You can install this plugin as a replacement

Configuration Changes

It is recommended to update existing configurations to match these changes.

• Moved several TF2 convar changes to the default configuration file
  • The previous method proved to be too confusing since most server operators would expect weapon changes to reside in the items.cfg instead of being silently set by the plugin itself
  • cvar tf_spy_cloak_regen_rate ( "0" ) -> attrib mult cloak meter regen rate ( 0.0 )
  • cvar tf_spy_cloak_consume_rate ( "25" ) -> attrib cloak consume rate increased ( 1.5 )
  • cvar tf_demoman_charge_regen_rate ( "0.0" ) -> attrib charge recharge rate increased ( 0.0 )
• Removed build command block and replaced it with PDA attribute building cost reduction ( 10.0 )
• Translation files: Replaced every usage of {success} with {positive} and every usage of {danger} with {negative}
