PunkBuster? Anti-Cheat Software by Even Balance, Inc. is now included:
========================================================
We are pleased to include PunkBuster Anti-Cheat Software in this code release. PunkBuster is a mandatory
installation for the 1.02 version update. You
Documentation for both Clients and Servers use of PunkBuster can be found in the ?pb? folder of the SoFII
installation directory.
Check out Even Balance on the web at http://www.evenbalance.com/.
Installing 1.02 patch on Linux
==============================
To support PunkBuster the Linux binary is no longer compiled statically. What this means is there is now an
additional shared library that needs to be installed on the Linux system for the sof2ded binary to work.
Please see the instructions below on how to make it work.
On your linux box:
-Create a directory for the game. example:
mkdir /usr/local/games/sof2
-Copy the linux binary (sof2ded) into this directory
-Mark the file as executable. example:
chmod a+x /usr/local/games/sof2/sof2ded
-Create the 'base' directory. example:
mkdir /usr/local/games/sof2/base
Note, YES, it is case sensitive and the program will look for all lower case
-Copy the files from the base directory of the retail CD into the
base directory you just created. You will need all the .pk3 files (including
musicandsound.pk3, skins.pk3, etc) if you want to run a "pure" server.
be sure to include the update101.pk3 and the update102.pk3 file from this patch.
-Create the directory for Punkbuster:
mkdir /usr/local/games/sof2/pb
-Copy the .so files from the pb directory of this patch to the pb directory just created
-Copy the libcxa.so.1 shared library file included in this patch to your lib directory.
For example, put it in the /usr/lib directory
cp libcxa.so /usr/lib/libcxa.so.1
Running the dedicated server
============================
-"cd" into the game directory (cd /usr/local/games/sof2)
-Run the binary. An example is:
./sof2ded +exec server.cfg
This example assumes you have created a configuration file called server.cfg and placed
it into the "base" directory.
By default, the server will run in "internet" play mode and advertise its presense to
the master server. If you wish to have a LAN play only server, change your server
config to set dedicated 1, or change the command line to be:
./sof2ded +set dedicated 1 + exec server.cfg
Misc. notes for Linux
====================
-The game will look in the base directory or home directory of the user running the
program (~/.sof2/)
-If you set the logfile option to 1, the files will be stored in your user
home directory in ~/.sof2/base/
-To run on freebsd, you need to have linux executable support setup, and at a minimum be
running freebsd 4.0. To launch the executable, you would use the command:
brandelf -t Linux sof2ded
Game types change when calling vote for new map:
===============================================
When a vote is cast for a map wherein the current game type is not supported, the game type for the map
being voted for will default to Deathmatch. In order to continue playing the previous game type, you must
call a vote for the next map that supports that game type.

Changes in 1.02:
WEAPONS
=======

- Fixed bug that would cause people to join the game with no weapons
- if crouched when walking over an item it will make no noise when it is picked up
- Crouching in mid air no longer gives accuracy bonus. This means that shooting when jumping will be much more inaccurate as initially intended
- Slight increase to the MP5's accuracy

CONSOLE COMMANDS
================
- Console command 'hash' removed due to its use in cheating
- Added client command "ignore". This allows a client to ignore all chat messages from another client.
- Added server command "mute". This allows a server admin to turn off chat messages for a given client.
- g_forceFollow can now be set to force first person spectating
- Added PunkBuster anti-cheat software
- Removed cvars that were used as exploits in the game
- cl_avidemo now generates TGA files instead of jpeg files.
GAMEPLAY
========
- Use button will now toggle between first and third person spectating when following someone
- Round timer now starts after the round start delay making each round the total of both numbers

- Can no longer shoot teammates during warm-up even if friendly fire is set to 1

- Timelimit will no longer interrupt a round in progress so the last round will always be finished
- Added g_teamkillNoExcuseTime and g_teamkillNoExcuseMultiplier to control the amount of time in the beginning of the round where there is no excuse for team killing. The multiplier controls the amount of tk% given for damage done during the no excuse time.- Team kill damage is now doubled if you kill a teammate carrying the flag, briefcase or bomb
- Should no longer get "server is for low pings only" message when a server has sv_maxping set and is full
- When the counter hits zero on warm-up it should restart quickly rather than the laggy restart it did in the past
- Autojoin should always join the team in need now
- New hud representation of team scores including total and alive player counts
