Half-Life 2: Capture the Flag Enters Final Testing
After more than a year of only small bursts of progress, the remaining development team has found their way clear to compile the final beta and have submitted it for playtesting.
For those who had the opportunity to playtest the beta 1.72 release which never made it past playtesting, many of the game features have been retained in the 1.75 playtest release. The following is an edited version of those never revealed features from the changelog:
NEW MAP ENTITIES:
item_battery_large
ctf_banner_small
*Chargers have been disabled and game health has been balanced by the addition of a "mega battery."
SERVER CVARS:
violence_hgibs toggles gibs. 0 = off, 1 = on (default is 1)
ctf_excessive 0/1 - toggles gamemode excessive. *See Below
ctf_instagib "weapon_name" - enables gamemode instagib. *See Below
ctf_dynamicgrenades toggles whether grenade color will change when picked up by a opposite team.
tv_allow_static_shots auto director uses fixed level cameras for shots.
tv_allow_camera_man auto director allows spectators to become camera man.
CLIENT CVARS:
hud_crosshair_r sets crosshair red (RGB) color. (0-255)
hud_crosshair_g sets crosshair green (RGB) color. (0-255)
hud_crosshair_b sets crosshair blue (RGB) color. (0-255)
hud_crosshair_a sets crosshair alpha. (0-255)
cl_fov replaces "fov" command - saves fov between 75 and 120 and reloads on every map.
EVENTS:

GAME MODES:
ctf_excessive enables a crazy and fun game mode as detailed below:
* Useable weapons: Melee, 357, SMG1, Alyxgun, AR2, OICW, Shotgun, Crossbow, Sniper Rifle, RPG
* Spawn with 300/300 and have passive 10 armor/sec and 5 health/sec regen.
* Self damage is lowered to 30% and force caused by explosions is increased.
* Each kill grants a killer with additional 50 armor and 50 health.
* No items spawned and Ammo is unlimited (no combine balls).
** This cvar can NOT be used together with areanamode! ctf_arenamode must be at 0.
** This mode is only available in pro mode meaning ctf_promode has to be set to 1.
ctf_instagib "weapon_name" will cause that weapon to become a 1 hit kill as detailed below:
* Example: ctf_instagib weapon_rpg makes RPG 1 hit kill (defaults to crossbow)
* List of weapons: weapon_357, weapon_crossbow, weapon_crowbar, weapon_pistol, weapon_shotgun,
weapon_frag, weapon_ar2, weapon_smg1, weapon_ctf_oicw, weapon_ctf_sniper, weapon_physcannon,

For all of you who had problems with getting kicked of CTF servers for "not owning this game", a Valve employee posted a fix in the HL2:CTF Forums. The fix is uploaded to both [C$W] servers. (1.7 and 1.71) Players with only HL2:DM should now be able to play without any problem. Have fun!

Hi-
My name is Mike Durand and I work for Valve.
I've found a solution to this problem and I am going to fix this problem in the engine but here is a server-side workaround in case anyone is interested:
Create a steam.inf file in your mod's root directory (where the gameinfo.txt is) on the server. Place only this entry in it:
appID=215
Please note that 320 would work too.
So without the added steam.inf when the server makes its calls to the Steam back-end for authentication of clients it is passing along the default value of 220, which is the app ID HL2 single player. And so if the user doesn't own HL2 then they fail authentication and they are disconnected.
Sorry for the inconvenience that this bug has caused and feel free to contact me if this solution doesn't work for you.
-Best Regards,
Mike Durand
