TO4 Ladder website A few enthousiastic TO4 players have started an initative to create a ladder-alike website, to bring back a competitive element to the game! Before they work out the idea any further, they do want to find out how many backers there currently are for the initiative. Please visit the website https://towars.net/ and register your name there to support this idea! The details wont be shared with anyone.
For more information, contact L4UR3NS on Discord!
TO4 MixedWars Also don't forget, almost every evening around 20.00 -21.00 CET there is a mixwar organised. Based on the number of players the mixedwars are formed. Its free for everyone to join, just make sure you have an active microphone (and preferably speak english). All is organised through Discord. Take a look at the #looking-for-match channel and add yourself to the game! It brings a whole new dimension to the game instead of the regular Public gameplay.

Maps:
MAP-Fueled Blocked middle lane, the gate window, half Lowered the metal bars in the middle area, near the gate window Redid the middle drop-point where SF can sidestab Terrorst going to A (higher) bombspot. Its a smaller opening, less random where a player may appear Closed a lot of railings / fences where you could should through Gave canals a little more cover from the middle (for instance; blocked the gap under the blue truck) Raised the fences in middle area, near the white truck. Better cover Blocked a part of the area near the palm on SF sniping lane (no more shooting under the truck), also slight better cover on the bombspot Added a blockade under the red tank on B (lower) bombspot, it was too easy to shoot someone when it was planting / covering the bomb Added an extra crate on B (lower) bombspot to give more tactical movement possibilities (its now an L-shape) Slightly moved the coal container near SF spawn to overview the B (lower bombspot more). As a counter, the spiked railing on top of the wall is blocked off. So its less random where a player shoots from
MAP-Scope MiddleHouse, lower area, gained a little more general light. This way its easier to see from the outside in Removed collision from all BarbedWires (blocked bullets and players) Redid some meshes of the B building, with a higher shadow resolution. This gives it a better shadow quality (was very blocky) Added Plywood to the metal fences on the bridge. This prevents lame sniper / random bullets passing from this position. Now its more obvious where a player can shoot from Removed the pillar in the lower facility (near the hostage), this was annoying on movement Lowered the light intensity slightly on lower facility hallways (had annoying bright spots on the player and gun model) Added a new rock on Sniper Mountain (near SF side) to make it obvious just can't jump any higher Removed shrubs near Sniper Mountain Fixed Trees; leafs blocked bullets
MAP-Eviction Blocked the ledge on the towerflats next to the sniper roof near Terrorist base Closed the gap between the plywood on the 1st floor "construction floor" of the main building Added more Global Illumination light, less intense Direct Sunlight, in order to get less intense contrast between shadow and lit areas Rescaled the fences on the stairs infront of SF base, you can now jump and walk on them Removed a Bookcase and pillar just outside of CFO laptop hackspot (blue room), for better movement Removed a few yellow poles on the outside area, in between SF and Terrorist spawn, for better movement
Patch 20020
Added: X/Y mouse sensitivity settings Allow to hold use before object is in range, use action is executed as soon as in range (useful for defusing / hacking) Optional Auto Recoil Recovery setting (crosshair interpolates to its initial position after shooting a bullet) Third person physic animation on body bullet impact
Changed: 20% more gravity for all physical objects (for the player it is about +10% in total since its gravity multiplier was decreased by 10%; jump height stays the same) Subtle velocity boost when falling / jumping (4%) HE nadetimer 3.66s -> 3.3s Higher pitch body impacts Higher range other impacts Balance audio of bullet flyby samples (they varied by ~6dB) Louder nade impacts (+2dB) Glock, M9 -4% YRecoil UMP, MP5 -5% YRecoil New Mossberg / Spas spray pattern Spas -10% YRecoil Mossberg -15% YRecoil Saiga price 1800 -> 2800, +7% precision, -35% YRecoil, RPM 152 -> 142 AUG -10% YRecoil, -12% recoil scoped M4, AK -4% YRecoil M16 -7% YRecoil Famas -9% YRecoil M40 2% more movement speed (-13% -> -11%) Less angular damping on nades (should reduce the "stone throwing" behavior) No map replay for 2 maps (new default value for servers, if servers have changed that value at some time it is not applied)
Fixed: Defuse / hack bar missing for executing player Fix TDM crashing on Blister, Fueled, Rapid, Converge due to missing navmesh Allow weapon reloading if chamber is empty, but clip is full (+1 bullet in weapon) Wood bullet impact sound missing
