AAAAAA

General:

    Change: Level 3 Seeing FP drain timer increased from 1 second to 1.25s (longer time between FP being drained).
    Fix: Miraluka not seeing through walls
    Fix: Deadly Sight FP drain
    Fix: Black screen when falling to your death continuing when no longer spectating the same player
    Fix: Quick Throw not working with ability1
    Fix: Zoom mask value properly resetting scope for spectator
    New: Smod status now shows the team that the player is on

Duel Mode:

    New: Duel mode now has per life builds
    New: Duel mode kill messages now include ACM multipliers for both saberists
    Change: Total respawns lowered from 6 to 3
    Change: Round limit duration raised from 5 minutes to 15 minutes
    Midround Joining:
        Players may now join a round in progress.
        Players who are forced to spectator will have their ability to join midround disabled for the duration of the round.
        New: Cvars
            "g_DuelMidRoundRespawnTimerInitial" - Controls initial delay upon trying to join the round. Hard-coded minimum of 5 seconds.
            "g_DuelMidRoundRespawnTimerNoLives" - Controls time that players must wait before being able to respawn again.
            "g_DuelMidRoundRespawnTimerNoLivesIncrement" - Optional incremental increase in the above enabled via the new cvar . This adds whatever value is specified, in seconds, to the total respawn once a player has run out of lives.


Sabering:

    Slap
        Fix: Behavior with slap flag that allows for playing the slap animation multiple times via interaction with forced shutdown of saber (use + reload) during a swing.
        Change: Slap cooldown increased from 3 seconds to 4.5 seconds
        New: Getting interrupted by a slap now causes a short stagger.
    Saber sound fixes/tweaks
        Fix: Duals' offhand should now truly play the correct sound (both in general as well as when the mainhand is thrown).
        Fix: Custom saber sounds should now be properly working in all circumstances
        Change: Saber noise spam - now has actual cooldown timer instead of just doing checks vs the length of the blade when trying to do on/off sounds. cg_saberFloodProtect cvar has been added and is used for determining the cooldown on the sounds (for those that wish to still hear all the spammy stuff). Defaults to 0.75 seconds.
    General clean-up of saber collision/blocking logic code
        Change: Forced block animation on getting hit has been adjusted to only trigger in ready states (e.g. when you're standing and blocking), when you truly get interrupted, and when you're not in a slap or have the PB counter damage increase while in an attack
        Fix: Being hit while slapping will no longer allow for PBs/parries/etc on the part of the defender
        New: Neutral Block (NB)
            Failing a PB but not actually getting hit on your body will now result in a NB.
            Deals 50% body hit damage to the defender (includes ACM scaling)
            Full swings NB'd gain +2 ACM to the attacker while consecutives gain +1. No ACM is modified for the defender.
            Plays a yellow indicator for both the attacker and defender (defender can toggle this off by changing cg_hitEffects to 0 or 1 instead of 2.
    Mblock refactoring
        Fix: Code for non-directional Mblock improperly applying to all styles instead of just to Staff
        Change: Failing Mblock no longer drains BP from the defender
        New: Successfully Mblocking resets the Mblock cooldown
        Change: Successfully Mblocking vs a swingblocking opponent now plays a short stagger for the attacker (to more consistently interrupt what they're doing). Staggers durations are scaled depending on the speed of the style attempted to Mblock against.
        Change: Failing an Mblock tweaked:
            If the PB zone is matched and directional inputs are correct but the timing is incorrect, a NB will be triggered.
            If the PB zone is matched but both the directional inputs and timing are incorrect, a stagger will be triggered for the defender.
            If the PB zone is not matched (Staff excluded because of perk), it results in a stagger for the defender.
            Staggers for failing an Mblock are scaled depending on the speed of the style attempted to Mblock against.
            New: Failing Mblock increases the cooldown duration by 50%.
            New: Failing Mblock plays a red blocking indicator for the defender
        New: Can now do W or S Mblock movements vs W swings instead of just S.
    Parry Refactoring:
        Removed: Perfect Parry
        Change: Weird flat drains + ACM scaling has been removed. Parries now deal 20% body hit damage to the opponent.
        Change: Spinning saber attacks can now parry regardless of which direction you're being attacked from.
    New: Most special moves now cost BP to activate.

    [/spoiler]
    Change: ACM refactoring
        Change/Fix: Cleaned up simple HUD display code to not be based on static amounts. Will now always show proper ACM amount regardless of changes to ACM code. Also now displays the actual ACM multiplier instead of raw ACC values.
        Remove: ACM only gained on first body hit in a chain.
        New: ACM gained on all body hits. Consecutive swings grant 1 ACM while full swings grant 2.
        Damage increase from ACM now takes your opponent's multiplier into account. The difference between each saberist (can never go below 1.0x) will be what ends up applying to the damage.
        Now has a modifier depending on weight of styles involved. Modifier is applied to the attacker's ACM multiplier.
            For each level of weight difference, there is a 0.05 change in the modifier.
            Example A: Using Blue/Cyan (light styles) vs Red/Purple (heavy styles) results in a -0.10 modifier.
            Example B: Using the Red/Purple (heavy styles) against Red/Purple (heavy styles) results in no modification (+/- 0.0)
            Example C: Using Red/Purple (heavy styles) vs Blue/Cyan (light styles) results in a +0.10 modifier.
            Example D: Using Red/Purple (heavy styles) vs Yellow/Staff/Duals (medium styles) results in a +0.05 modifier.
    Change: Damage Modifiers:
        Consecutive swings
            Change: Consecutive swing damage multiplier raised from 0.50x to 0.80x
        Change: Global damage lowered from 1.0x to 0.63x
        Change: Damage reduction modifiers relating to blocking or not have been removed (resulting in ~25-45% increased damage overall).
        Change: Incoming damage increase for getting hit while crouching reduced from 50% to 35%
        Change: Outgoing damage decrease for attacking while crouching reduced from 50% to 35%
        Change: Swingblocking or not no longer alters outgoing damage.
        Change: Running/Walking no longer affects incoming or outgoing damage.
        New: Spinning saber attacks have 10% increased outgoing damage.
        New: Getting hit while slapping now has a 10% damage modifier
        New: Getting hit while in a stagger now has a 15% damage modifier. A stagger from failing Mblock adds an additional 5%.
        New: Getting hit while knocked down now has a 20% damage modifier.
        New: Getting interrupted (hit in a start-up) now has a 20% damage modifier.
        Using a special when you have less BP than the cost reduces its damage multiplier to 25%
        Purple kata and Duals/Staff crouch katas now do less damage earlier in their attacks (to make it more fair for how they can instantly hit).
    New: Half swings now reset one's swing count (restarts combos from swing 1 and allows for a new combo to be done).
    Change: Consecutive swings done from within 1 quadrant of the previous are now slower than normal consecutives but still hit sooner than halfswings would.
    Remove: BP drain for having attack inputs held down
    Change: Can now switch saber styles during the block anim for being hit.
    New: All non-heavy styles now cost 3 BP per attack. Red/Purple cost 4.
    Change: BP regen increased by 1 per tick (3->4 for defense 1, 5->6 for defense2+)
    Change: BP regen tick cooldown reduced from 400ms to 300ms
    Perfect Block Adjustments
        New: Getting PB'd now plays a green hit indicator for the attacker
        New: PB'ing someone during the PB counter window (200ms after triggering a PB; meaning this won't happen on your first PB) triggers new effects.
            Drains 1 ACM from the attacker
            Regens 3 BP for the defender.
    [spoiler=Saber Styles]
        Change: Consecutive swings are no longer instant across the board. Speeds have been adjusted for each style to still have quick pacing but still have some level of reactivity still possible for the defender.
