Build 2.5d for dedicated servers not only brings some important fixes and gameplay changes, it also adds some features meant for competitive play and clan matches. There isn´t needed any client update to enjoy this version, just an updated server. Changelog:
- Alternative clothes give +25% capture loot reward, no matter if player was carrier or protector.
- Whiskey jug starts with x2.0 regeneration rate in Bounty, Coop and FoD-1 crate modes.
- Notoriety gained due combat increased 15-20%
- Carrier speed in 1 chest mode is decreased -20% to enforce combat. There´s a small respawn penalization mainly to avoid players respawning alone. However they respawn closer to carrier than in previous versions, making this mode more appealing.
- Fixed incorrect notoriety in log events
- Fixed incorrect winning team displayed sometimes
- Fixed server crash when server admin attempted to chat in Bounty mode
- Fixed issue which prevented players from facing the objectives correctly when respawning
- Improved server stability, several related fixes included
Tournament mode, cvar fof_tournament enables several features meant for clan matches and competitive playing in general:
- notoriety restart after each round
- cvar fof_notorietyrate allows to customize how much notoriety gives each action (a multiplier for each action, actually), setting it to 0 disables any increase. Only works if tournament mode is enabled.
- Starting notoriety can be customized more freely (15-75 range)
- no maximum notoriety limit
- no random objectives

Regarding future updates, we are preparing several things, still soon to talk about them. For the moment check this amazing horse model made by Brad Myers, the same artist who brought to life our mexican bandit. There was horse poo in some maps and no horses around, odd isn´t it? Problem fixed! Note that horses will be just animated props, and there is no plan to do other thing with them unless some major change of plans happens.

Following the petitions from our community, a patch has been issued with the following changes, be sure to update dedicated servers out there! Clients no need to install it:
* Fully compatible with beta 2.5 clients
* Back to old notoriety system, progressive, notoriety isn´t restarted. Initial notoriety still can be customized (35-50 range). There is 100 notoriety limit which cannot be surpassed, however any additional notoriety gained is still accounted and displayed in final scoreboard.
* Map duration is no longer measured in time but rounds. FoD normal mode last 3 rounds always, FoD 1 crate mode: 5-10 rounds (fof_fodalt_maxrounds), FDM: 5-10 (fof_fdm_maxrounds), Bounty: 5-15 (fof_bounty_maxrounds).
* Notoriety increasing is proportional to the number of rounds to play, the more rounds the slower it increases.
* Bounty mode: teams can be swapped optionally, use cvar fof_bounty_swapteams to enable or disable this feature
* Few Dollars More end round music fixed
* Explosive arrows: area of effect decreased 15%
* Visible server slots in browser show the maximum slots allowed per map, so players won´t join thinking there is any free slot to play (doesn´t apply in coop mode)
* Coachgun/shotgun do slightly less damage over long distances
* Beard health rate increased +10%
Download server update 2.5a
There is also good news for level designers. We would love to see some community made maps. Fistful of Frags offers an almost infinite amount of possibilities, many of them still not explored. Here´s our mapping SDK to help you start creating new multiplayer and cooperative maps. It includes:
* guide explaining the entities you have to use for each game mode, and how to setup them
* map examples: fistful of dollars, few dollars more (fof_canyonland), bounty, coop (peligro, sweetwater and ramirez escort), moving train
* .fgd file
* many prefabs

Full changelog:
Added:
- Cooperative maps: coop_elpaso (VIP escort), coop_sweetwater (last stand), coop_revenge (last stand), coop_peligro (push the cart)
- Mexican bandit character by Brad Myers
- Winchester 1893 pump shotgun, model and texture by Racer445, animations by Flakk
- Sounds: custom footsteps, many weapon sounds tweaked, whiskey glug, fiery arrow, custom burn sound
- Gatling Gun, model by RYell, skin by Flakk
- New animations: dual Colt Navy and axe by Flakk
- Map fof_loothill by Henri
- Map fof_canyonland by RYell
- Bots available in deathmatch mode: they can work in versus mode or teamdm. Their number is are also set automatically depending how big is the map and how many humans are in server, it means server admin don´t need to care about enabling or disabling them, the game itself will add or remove bots if necessary.
- New game mode: "boss murder", both teams must protect a "boss NPC", the first team which kills enemy boss wins. Players spawn near their boss, so moving the boss to other map areas also moves the spawn place. They stop spawning around him when enemies get near enough the boss.
- Classic deathmatch: players begin the game with a starting amount of notoriety which cannot be increased, weapons and power-ups are placed around the levels. Available maps: eliminator_lite and desert.
- New notoriety system in team based game modes: players start every round with 35-50 notoriety plus some extra notoriety (up to +25) depending how good they did in previous round.
- New round system in team based game modes: maps are played during a predefined amount of time, doesn´t matter how many rounds. Each round is also shorter, an average of -33%.
- Equipment presets: one click to load all your weapons/perks. The system also allows item stacking if there isn´t enough notoriety, select all equipment needed for an entire round at a time.
- Server slots increased to 32, each map has its own player cap if exceeded any player will go to spectator mode until a slot is free. Some large maps in DM mode allow 32 players, the rest keep the same.
- Auto change map feature: if a server gets empty, the map will be changed automatically to a level specified in maps/autochangemap_list.txt
- Backspace Key drops active weapon in CO-OP/Bounty/DM game modes
- Weapons and ammo packs only can be picked up pressing *USE* key.
- New mod options menu, more accessible, new crosshair customization options.
- New Bounty enabled maps: fof_sweetwater (only Bounty), fof_elpaso, fof_desert, fof_monumentvalley
- fof_tournament server cvar added to allow complete fairness in Bounty matches (no random objectives)
- Some levels have been enhanced with self shadowed bump maps.
- Team cash meter: if a team is about to win, its bar flashes
- Objective icons: now the amount of cash in each one have is also displayed
- Frags and deaths are also saved along notoriety when player leaves the server, in case he/she returns.
- Novice friendly servers can be set: players surpassing a kill:death ratio will be banned for some time.
- Dodge (strafe jump): equip spurs to get this new skill, it requires >75% stamina bar to work (it becomes green when ready). Just press left/right+jump to do this move, tip: keep pressing the direction key to shoot accurately in mid air.
- Rock salt ammo for shotguns: inflicts slightly less damage than buckshot (-15%), but it causes additional pain effect which keeps draining some health for a few seconds after impact. There´s an added effect, if initial damage is high enough, the victim will jump a bit due the intense pain, so aiming accuracy is lost during a second :)
Special thanks to: everybody who contributed to enable AI features in Source based multiplayer mods and Battlegrounds 2 for its implementation of custom options menu.
Fixed:
- auto team switch with no warning message
- bow particle fire effect keeps working when it shouldn´t
- players don´t spawn correctly aimed towards objectives
- all sourcemod slot keys added
Changed:
- weapons completely rebalanced to avoid rifles being used at close range and revolvers the opposite.
- damage model has been tweaked, headshots do x2.1 damage instead x3, only rifles can kill in one shot (depending where you hit), killing a player shouldn´t take more than 2 hits with any gun if vital zones are damaged.
- Base sprint speed increased 7%
- player forward speed increased 7%
- blood effect on screen when receiving damage has been decreased
- whiskey jug: replenishes faster in normal modes, even faster in co-op
- Colored ammo boxes: green means ammo + health, red only health, brown only ammunition
- Idle players aren´t kicked from server if there are free slots, they simply become spectators.
- Beard: healing rate increases proportionally to how low is health level
- Players cannot reload while jumping anymore, weapon switches to fists immediately in that case
- Jump consumes minimal stamina, but each successive jump multiplies the amount consumed
- Sprint while reloading isn´t possible in one shot weapons, while the rest (revolvers, Henry, pump shotgun) will stop reloading automatically if sprint key is pressed
- Neckerchief/Bandanna regenerates pain tolerance when player picks ammo packs from enemies killed by himself (max. pain tolerance will be 33 always!)
- Loot sack relocation in Monument Valley map is announced (visual and audible hint)
Weapons:
- Revolvers fire and reload faster, do +10-15% damage, however its effective range is smaller than it was before
- Sharps: going from inaccurate to accurate takes half time, player speed increased while ironsighted
- Bow using explosive arrows: no crosshair and player speed decreased, explosion smoke particle effect is simpler
- Bow using normal arrows: player speed increased, reloads 20% faster
- Smith carbine: much less accurate without iron sights, similar to Henry rifle.
- Deringer and axe: draw animation speed increased
- Fists: punches drain less stamina
- Sharps: switching to iron sight mode takes longer than other rifles (double), during that time aiming is still very inaccurate
- Explosive arrows ammo decreased from 10 to 8.
- Coachgun: pellet spread significantly decreased to get closer real world performance, player movement speed is slower.

One year has passed since our first beta went public, that was fast! It´s still the same game in some aspects, but many things have changed and many more will do shortly. You knew Fistful of Frags as a multiplayer only modification and that will be no more when beta 2.5 is released. A co-operative/singleplayer mode is in the making, here´s some info:
* fully predicted AI for online matches, expanded with some new features to make it more smart and responsive. NPCs use almost the entire arsenal. There will be a Gatling gun and a snake NPC too, just to start with!
* up to 8 human players, most missions can be played in singleplayer/offline mode, NPC companions will help you in such case.
* the amount of enemies and difficulty are proportional to humans amount and skill, so no matter how many persons play, the game will try to adapt itself.
* different mission types: father Ramirez/prisoner escort, last stand, escape, assassination, train escort, push the cart and many more! Pretty much any kind of mission is possible due the freedom and extra features our objective system offers to level designers
* available equipment: notoriety based leveling or traditional (weapon pick-ups around the map or dropped from dead enemies), depends how´s the mission designed
* AI works in most deathmatch maps too! In those maps is also possible to force a team deathmatch scenario, humans vs AI.
Would you like to take a look? This video isn´t very elaborated but is enough to showcase an intense assault which involves around 40 NPCs and only one human player. Watch in HD quality recommended.
Regarding this co-op matter, we are looking for level designers to create missions for our new mode. The Wild West presents many opportunities to create a great co-operative experience, but we cannot do that alone. If you are interested send us an email (details are in "join us" section).
If this isn´t enough for you, wait, there is more! Winchester 1893, the granddaddy of all pump shotguns, will make its presence in beta 2.5. It´s a relatively late weapon for wild west era, we know, but makes plenty of sense gameplay wise and be sure is a hell of fun too. There´s also the new map fof_loothill, it plays better than looks and looks great as you can see. Player speed will be faster too, there will be some weapon balance as usual. We are also removing the slot restriction so 32 slots, the engine maximum, will be possible in a few maps for the moment. Finally, deathmatch classic will be introduced in some maps, players will have to find weapons and power-ups around the map instead gaining notoriety.
When should you expect the new release? It´ll happen around February, most probably, just around the corner. You also may join the public testing we are doing from time to time, step by our forums.
Hope you like the new additions, if that´s the case you only have to do something for us: vote for Fistful of Frags in ModDB´s MOTY awards!

We continue our effort to improve Fistful of Frags with this new beta. First of all, we have completely redone the animations for Colt Navy, coachgun, Smith carbine and Henry rifle! There is also some important modifications done to bow, there´s only one bow type which fires any kind of arrow, and is also available a new arrow type. Fiery arrows aren´t very western like but we ensure they are hilarious, fun and make possible some new tactics too. Finally, the bug which prevented servers to be displayed in Steam´s server browser is fixed.

Here comes a new beta, this one is meant to fix and tweak core parts of our gameplay. The result is a faster and funner game we hope, but still preserving the realism characteristic of Fistful of Frags.
Some reload animations are quicker (revolvers, carbine, coachgun, bow) and there are less stamina restrictions. Autobalance won´t favor as much as it did the team behind in score. Some weapons received changes: dual revolvers, coachgun and Henry rifle. There were added a couple of new effects to increase immersion: arrow ´woosh´ fx and audible breath when player depletes stamina, dynamite has a much nicer new skin (thanks to Prodigy). And lastly, some important bug fixes: revolvers reload, server memory leak and ban panel working properly.
Hope you enjoy this update and I want to dedicate a big yehaa to GamingDeluxe for their support, thanks! Check their server prices because they really deserve it.
