SERVER OPERATORS: anyone who is hosting a server with the current midair release( 0.1.5 ), please be aware that the cvar g_knockback_scale is not set back to the default value "1" when you switch gametypes( thought I fixed it completely ).  This doesn't happen all the time, but I did come back to my server being on Duel and having g_knockback_scale set to 2.8 :x  In the meantime, a quick fix would be to add this line:

set g_knockback_scale "1"

to any gametype configs found in basewsw/configs/server/gametypes/

Sorry for any inconvenience or problems this might have caused.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LATEST BUILD: beta 1 build 5( 0.1.5 ) - 9/26/09
LINK: http://www.sendspace.com/file/2rudlq

midair_005.zip includes:
    midair_005.pk3 - latest midair gametype scripts
    midair_b6.pk3 - new version of midair map, with lowered spawns and center spawn removed

changelog, cvarlist,( both below ) and how to configure custom map configuration files are in README.txt

Hope you enjoy it.

Votable on on the following servers:
- tx.warsow-na.net
- il.warsow-na.net

Maps
battletwats maps: HERE

definite changes in beta 1 test 6:
- corrected the check for distance to ground, to help prevent getting stuck on ledges
- adjusted midair hp to 80 to help prevent wall splash kills( healtharmor 0 )

Possible changes for future builds:
- possible addition( for testing ) aircontrol 3.
- custom sounds for when you midair someone at different heights( will do more of these )
- custom co-ordinate checking for being "midair", rather than using g_mid_height( will only be set using midair height files )
- add a "jugglemode" that regenerates HP/Armor to 100/100 every time the player touches the ground.
- code in proper invincibility( if possible ) which would make callvote healtharmor 1 a lot better

screen shots from latest release:

        - 10 kills: Wat.
        - 15 kills: GG.
        - 20 kills: AIMBOT
    - added votable Grenade Launcher( see cvarlist for more details ) <---- by popular demand
    - g_mid_height is now default at 172 instead of 152, due to a "bug"

    - added an option to vote a specified g_knockback_scale variable set by server( see cvarlist )

    - added the command "ruleset" to list the options the server has set for midair and lists
        votable options.
    - g_mid_noquad is now set to "1" by default( eg - QUAD IS OFF BY DEFAULT )
    - added explosion effects upon getting a gold/diamond/king midair.
    - lowered spawns on midair_b5( now known as midair_b6 ) and got rid of the middle spawn.
   

changes from 0.1.3 in 0.1.4:
    - added test awards given by kill streak
        - 3 kills: Leprechaun!
        - 5 kills: Needs More Cowbell
        - 10 kills: Wat.
        - 15 kills: King Of Bongo ( with djWheat ;D )
        - 20 kills: AIMBOT

        - Gold Midair( djWHeat ) at 500 - 999 unit midair
        - Diamond Midair( djWheat ) at 1000+ unit midair

    - added bigger explosion effect for Gold/Diamond midairs
        ( will use with scaling once I figure it out )

    - new midair_b3 map with severely reduced wall splash( yay! )

changes from 0.1.2 in 0.1.3:
    - added g_mid_aircontrol 2( see below ) and is call voteable
    - added a new map, which is pretty much mid1_b1 but retextured, this is mid2_b1, no more eye burning
        I also moved the walls back a bit as to help prevent the ( unwanted ) splash damage, I didn't
        get a chance to test it much, but this will get updated later( top priority )
    - attempted to fix the respawn bug that seems only to be happening on euro servers, hope this fixes it
    - new default round time is 3 minutes instead of 5 with 0 over time
    - fixed the callvote noquad not being able to re-enable the quad powerup

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CVARS:

- g_mid_height "172"

    SERVER SIDE ONLY

    this is only server sided, its the
    height at which the player can recieve
    damage. Lowest it will go is 25.

- g_mid_noquad "1"

    CALL VOTABLE!!!
        /callvote noquad 0|1

    enables and disables the quad powerup

- g_mid_aircontrol "0"

    CALL VOTABLE!!
        /callvote aircontrol 0|1|2

    changes the different types of air control that the
    player has while in "midair".
        0 = removes all lateral velocity( aka EZMODE )
        1 = complete air control, nothing changed from .5 base
        2 = keeps all velocity, but disables all usercontrolled air control

- g_mid_walljump "0"
   
    CALL VOTABLE!!
        /callvote walljump 0|1
   
    enables and disables wall jumping
    while above the
    frag height( see g_mid_height )

- g_mid_weakonly "0"
   
    CALL VOTABLE!!
        /callvote weakonly 0|1

    enables and disables weak ammo only for
    the Rocket Launcher

- g_mid_hpap "0"

    CALL VOTABLE!!
        /callvote healtharmor 0|1

    enables and disables the option to spawn
    players with 100 HP and 100 Armor.
   
    IMPORTANT!!!: this is only votable BEFORE the match starts,
    due to a bug I'm working around for next release( hopefully ).

    Also note: you will not be able to see your true HP/Armor value
        without being "midair" due to the limited abilites
        of AngelScript not being able to draw much to the HUD
        ( hopefully this will change somehow in the near future )

- g_mid_enableGL "0"
   
    CALL VOTABLE!!
        /callvote enablegl 0|1

    enables and disables the
    Grenade Launcher.

    NOTE: Grenade Launcher only uses WEAK AMMO, and
        IS NOT affected by g_mid_weakonly.
          You are given 1 Grenade, and has a reload
        time of 3 seconds to prevent spamming,
        which creates very easy midairs.
          Gold/Diamond/Bongo are not given for
        grenade midairs.

- g_mid_spawnrape "1"

    CALL VOTABLE!!
        /callvote spawnrape 0|1

    enables and disables air control at spawn for
    ALL aircontrol types( 0, 1, 2 ), approx air
    control time is 3 seconds.  Look for some
    small changes to this in the future.

- g_mid_knockback "1"

    CALL VOTABLE!!
        /callvote knockback 0|1

    enables and disables the server variable
    g_mid_kbscale( see below ). Hoping to
    have this replace the Quad power-up as
    it seems to have a more consistent
    knockback than the Quad power-up.

- g_mid_kbscale "2.8"

    SERVER SIDE ONLY

    The ammount that knockback is scaled, this
    actually modifies the base cvar
    g_knockback_scale.  This knockback scaling
    is enabled/disabled via g_mid_knockback( see above ).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Known Issues:

    -g_mid_hpap/callvote healtharmor
        - when called when the player is in midair, they will
            not be given the correct amount of armor, to
            counteract this, it can only be voted on during
            warm-up, as respawning will give you correct
            amounts.

        - sometimes armor doesnt go below 1.

        -g_knockback_scale not being reset to default on gametype change( server side bug :x )

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q&A:

I gave the player infinite quad for the knockback and made it so players can vote for it on/off.

------------------------

So yeah, hope this^ answered your question about why I can't modify the splash.
