Counter Strike DL > News > De Nuke

The update is finally here, and it's a big one!!!

Updates to Counter-Strike: Source have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Added de_nuke with High Dynamic Range (HDR) lighting

Counter-Strike: Source Enhancements and Bug Fixes

The Bomb (C4) can no longer be planted on breakables, movable physics props, or other players
Fixed problem where players were not always “grabbing onto” ladders that were approached from above
Crouching while traversing a ladder reduces the player’s speed (matches CS 1.6 behavior)
Improved door logic to prevent doors from opening into the player using them
View-smoothing is now done when going down stairs as well as up
Bomb-related sounds play for everyone correctly now (not just the bomb-planter)
First-person spectators are blinded and deafened just like the person they are observing
Fixed incorrect bullet penetration calculation through concrete+grate materials
Fixed changeteam exploit
Fixed DX7 early prop fade-out
Fixed rare player animation issue while holding grenades
Fixed apparent lockup/hang due to the disconnect dialog showing up over the quit menu and hiding it
Fixed crash when shooting explosive objects that would result in the shooter’s immediate death
Opening the buy menu and equipment menu on the same frame no longer leaves the buy menu in a bad state
DEagle no longer always plays deploy animation when starting to spectate its owner
Non-localized HintText displays correctly again
Added "mp_disable_autokick " so players with rcon access aren't idle-kicked
“soundscape_flush” no longer forgets about soundscape entities
Exposed VIP player index to plugins/mods

Counter-Strike: Source Bot Changes

Several navigation improvements (jumping, ladders, general movement)
Various CPU performance optimizations
Bots are more attentive to enemy noises now
Bots throw their grenades when surprised by an enemy correctly now
Bots can open doors when attacking with a knife now
Fixed bug preventing CT bots from hiding to guard a bomb defuser
Fixed a few issues where bots were trying to plant the bomb in bad places
Bots now break breakables they touch while stuck or crouched
Fixed bots not knowing if the cs_havana window is shut
Adding the “bot_join_delay” ConVar to delay bots joining after a map change

Excellent work Valve!! I was half expecting the DX7 bug fix, well done!
The CSDL Server will be online with nuke shortly for those wanting to test it.

Mad, you and El are relentless with your news posts. In fact I check CSDL reguarding CSS news more than steam because no matter what time news is posted on valve you have it here within 10-15 minutes.
Great work.

WOOT!

what happened to the new player models o_O or is that gonna be released later

Posted by TheEndless

they are going to be released in a different update.. dunno when

Posted by pcpro32

It will be released at a later date.
Although from what I recall the models announced for "release sometime next week" before nuke was first announced... lol

Posted by ultran00b

YAY! New stuff, also I heard that some of the stuff in-game is screwed, am I right?

Posted by Crazy Asian

i didnt kno u could plant bombs on players

Posted by TheEndless

yes you can.. but when they player moves.. the bomb will be in the air..

Posted by pcpro32

:'( I used to enjoy planting the bomb on a berral then moving the barrel... it made people stand looking at it instead of sit defusing it.

F***in finally!

Posted by Rifleman

Told you.

Posted by Tallman

Awesome update!

I'm glad to see they finally fixed the DX7 fade out error. No more poking cfg files for me

Posted by Ev0

What size is this update btw. because I'm gettin 30kbps..

Posted by Rifleman

You have always got about that speed

Posted by Ev0

We'll I usually get about 200 but that wasn't may point anyway. You should all try minimising when playing nuke then opening again. Normally you might get the bad textures like black and purple checkers, but cuz of HDR the maps are different and it looks really trippy lol!, try it!!!

"First-person spectators are blinded and deafened just like the person they are observing"

Happy about that one, it's quite weird speccing someone who has perfect sight yet is acting "strangely" due to being blinded.

Posted by Rifleman

Posted by ||Xecutioner07||

Well, i was getting 250kbps. Anyway i liked the update, about time valve released sometin
