1.52 (2/12/2015 | 10:21PM)
* Download is fixed.
1.51-1.52 (2/4/2015 | 9:44PM CDT)
* Added the 2014 festives.
* Market garden nerf: 33% less damage if actively parachuting.
* Successful market garden removes your parachute.
* After a successful market garden, you must touch the ground again before getting another. (Fixes getting stuck in HHH on teleport for multiple mid-air gardens).
* One-Time CenterText messages now appear over repeated messages. For example, "You just backstabbed him" will show for 5 seconds if you're the last player, and prevent the "Current boss health is..." message from overwriting it.
* Fixed rounds ending due to everyone being on the same team when the round starts.
* KGB still acts like GRU, but is no longer visually changed to look like GRU.
* Added some missing Precache stuff.
* Added OVERRIDE_MEDIGUNS_ON. Uncommenting this will replace medigun attributes while keeping their original skin/model, instead of replacing them with a kritzkrieg. Thanks to
Starblaster64.
* Fixed the "Living Spectator" glitch that often happens with AFK-Manager and other plugins that move players to spectate.
* Added sm_hale_reload for developers. This command tells the plugin to reload itself at the end of the next round, essentially making the plugin reload itself without disrupting gameplay.
* During the first round, team balance is enforced for even teams. This prevents scenarios where everyone joins RED team and become confused as to why the game won't start (because noone is on BLU).
*Added HideCvarNotify - This blocks chatspam when the following convars change: tf_bot_count, tf_arena_use_queue, tf_arena_first_blood, mp_friendlyfire.
* Special thanks to
yarik2720 for russian translations.
* Integrated fix for TeleportToSpawn that prevents the boss from being teleported to other arenas in multi-stage maps, such as in vsh_megaman_* - He will only teleport to the current arena.
* A bunch of random code changes/optimizations/frogs imported from my version of VSH.
* Full list of changes can be seen
here. (Note: All the relevant stuff is already posted above).

- After that, any spawn team's spawns.
* Cannot constantly spam super jump as much when falling into pots. (Yes pots).
- IMPORTANT: I realize this may make arena_nucleus terrible. On my server I made it teleport hale to spawn like HHH on only this map, but I didn't feel like setting up a config file for this to release publicly yet.
* HHH takes 50 seconds to get his first teleport instead of 25, in light of the wallclimb.
* Updated translation files for the new weapon changes that nobody reads.
