Gameplay
Made ladders easier to climb. Added cvars sv_ladder_dampen and sv_ladder_angle.
Fixed issue that awarded three points when the bomb explodes after the round ends by elimination criteria instead.
Fixed issue in which you weren’t given credit for grenade damage if you fired a weapon at someone then hit them with a grenade (in that order). Also fixed problem in which grenading a player and then killing them with another weapon showed as ‘*** in 1’ on console.
There’s now a priority order for displaying win conditions when multiple win conditions are set.
If timelimit exists and is not 0, then show timelimit.
If timelimit does not exist, show maxrounds if not 0.
If both timelimit and maxrounds are 0, show winlimit.
If timelimit, maxrounds, and winlimit are all 0, show nothing.
Added a cvar to ignore win conditions: mp_ignore_round_win_conditions.
