Release history

Release 6
--------------------

- Bots can now follow waypoints (if supported by the map) and complete complex objectives and end the level by themselves.

- Bots now fight monsters and monsters fight bots.

- Monster difficulty is influenced by bot difficulty settings, eg. if you set the bot skill to Novice, monsters will be easy to beat, set the bot skill to Godlike and monsters are much harder to beat.

- A life limit can be set, when players (and bots) run out of lives, they are sent into spectator mode. When all players and bots are dead, the game ends.

- Tournament mode can no longer be set, it will always be off in multiplayer games and always on in single player.

- Fixed "You are the winner" announcer message from playing when you actually lost (ran out of time or team has no lives left).

- Team skins are now optional (set when starting a game), no need to use red all the time.

- 5 Points are lost for being killed when there is no life limit, this should help prevent "kamakazi" style gameplay.

- Revised all Hunt maps and fixed a lot of bugs in them.

- Added new map, HM-NaliVillage][.

- Lots of other minor bugs have been fixed up along the way.

Release 5
--------------------

- Fixed Unreal weapons not working in multiplayer, also added decals to their projectiles - Thanks to UsAaR for help.

- Added a scoring system so you score points depending on which type of monster you kill. Scores are as follows: Titan, Queen and WarLord = 5 points. Giant GasBag and Giant Manta = 4 points. SkaarjWarrior, MercenaryElete and Brute = 3 points. Krall, Mercenary, SkaarjTrooper, Slith and GasBag = 2 points. Everything else = 1 point. You also loose 5 points for killing innocent creatures and yourself. 10 extra points are awarded for killing a boss.

- Fixed bug where monsters would attack spectators before a round begins.

- Fixed bug where where if no time limit was set, but you finished the level, it would say "Time up, hunt failed!".
