Damn playtesters... Capture-The-Flag will never be the same!
There is a server-side feaure in the XDM to replace flag model in CTF and control point model in Domination game. It had to be tested with the new release (prevent crashes on improper models, etc, stc.). Since we had the vast selection of models from the HLDM Gold Megapack, that wasn't a problem. But we didn't prepare for unforeseen consequences.
TL;DR; Playtesting turned into something awful. CTWTF.
Or not. Or... pleasant. :)
I've left this replacement feature for admins to use on special occasions, holidays, memorable days, events. Who could've thought...
Anyway, XDM 3034 is still available with the HLDM Map Megapack here, you're welcome to ty! )
PS: still looking for those event/award icon replacements. Memes are actually placeholders, FYI. )
Nice..
I do expect more game modes in XDM in the future updates, such as "assasination" and "bomb defuse" ones! Should be more fun playing these.
