Urban Terror 4.2 gets Knocked Out
Greetings Urban Terror fans, while we work on the next Update (4.2.010) we thought you might be interested in seeing what 4.2 can do in the right hands. In this case in the right hands happens to be our newest addition to the development team SevenofNine who restarted an event originally invented by rYuuJiN.
The gametype known as KnockOut is where the last two on the leader board are “Knocked Out” until there is but one left standing.
Competition wise as an event KnockOut is two hours of non-stop action where rules of fair play become a suggestion and where rules are broken by but not limited to shoutcasters narcing out campers as well as players not able to handle the pressures and intentionally lemming off of tall buildings if just for the shear entertainment value.
Don't be fooled though this is 2 hours of grueling gun what you brung with a side order of fun to earn Ironman bragging rights as KnockOut king.
Check it out here.
If this is the kind of gun fun you would like to see more of in the future let SevenofNine know by heading over to the UZL Facebook page and give him a thumbs up with the traditional Like.
And then follow up with any comments and suggestions in our forum as to other kinds of events you would like to see, or even hear ;) .
Surely SevenofNine would be more than willing to accommodate...

[4.2] Update 4.2.008
The Frozen Sand development team has worked very hard to bring you this extended update for Urban Terror 4.2 !! Please all update your game as soon as possible.We have included a test map called ut4_jumptest to show mappers how to implement the new jump entities. You can find the .map file within the ut4_jumptestmap.pk3.
Please note we had to change the name of the jump mode tutorial map included with the release of 4.2.008 due to a name conflict. The new name is ut4_jumpents.pk3. Please delete the ut4_jumptest.pk3 that you received with the 4.2.008 update, and replace it with ut4_jumpents.pk3. To update your Urban Terror 4.2 we suggest you to use the UrTUpdater. You can also directly download Urban Terror 4.2.008.Changelog

• Added run timer and best timer in the scoreboard for jump mode.
• Added jump mode timers:
Timers are deactivated on every map start. To activate the personal timer the player has to type /ready in the console. When a player is in "ready" status he/she will not be able to use /save, /load and /regainstamina commands. However, /g_noStamina will be available since it's a server feature. To deactivate the timer the player has to type /ready in console again or join "spectators". This will reset the run timer but it will keep the best run timer value and the last run timer value visible in the player HUD.
As per usual we welcome feedback in our forum.
WARNING For those who updated before 11:50CET, there is a bug with the animation pack. Please either delete zUrT42_0013.pk3 and run the updater (to download the update again) or replace it with the file yourself. Sorry about that!
