Urban Terror 4.2.022 Christmas Release
We're pleased to announce the release 4.2.022 of Urban Terror... with a little surprise! BladeKiller worked on some special player skins that will automatically be available in-game only for Christmas (from December 22nd to December 29th). We hope that you will like them! Among the new features, our crazy coder clearskies developed a kick-ass advanced server filter for the server browser. Check it out!
Urban Terror 4.2.022 Changelog
• New cvars to modify the text size: cg_msgSize and cg_chatSize
• Servers now issue a DNS lookup for the master server on map change

Urban Terror's UI menus open-sourced
After the recent success of the improved Head-Up Display (HUD) we thought it would be a good time to update the User Interface menus as well.
Updating the menus is a huge project. We received a lot of great submissions from community members, and Frozen Sand artists want to focus their work on Urban Terror Resurgence. Therefore we decided to make the menu files open-source so anyone can participate in updating them.
The menus files are stored on our public Github repository. You are free to fork the repository and send us pull requests so we can review your changes and approve them. When fully finished, the menus will be implemented into a new version of Urban Terror 4.
Please note that the menus style must respect the "Urban Terror theme", ie. dark theme, background grids... If you have any question please contact the FS Dev team on Discord.
Warning: Be aware that the menu icons and images are included on the github repository but cannot be modified due to copyright issues. If you want to update them, you will need to create completely new ones.

Urban Terror meets Github
For the past few years we have been using the forums as well as our internal bug tracker for reporting and fixing the issues on the game.
It was redundant and thus a bit confusing for our developers so we decided to look for other ways to work more efficiently with the community.
We are happy to announce that we decided to move to Github which is a platform we were already using for our engine and game code. Github comes with a nice way of managing issues and linking them internally to parts of our code.
Please take a look at the README and read the rules before opening a new issue.
This bug tracker is only meant to gather issues about Urban Terror 4.2. If you encounter an issue with the Updater, please go here, and if you want to talk about Urban Terror HD, please go here.
We are currently moving all the opened issues from our forums to Github, if you don't see yours please create it!
nb: while we always appreciate new feature requests, please note that we are heavily working on Urban Terror HD and we are probably not going to implement huge changes to Urban Terror 4.2 anymore.

Welcome back to urbanterror.info
Three weeks ago this website was compromised, using the now infamous heartbleed security bug the day information as to this vulnerability was posted to the general public. All services were immediately suspended to protect them from further damage and have been down during this time to analyze the attack, restore deleted content from our backups and reinforce security measures.
As a result, we recommend that everyone change their password and request a new auth key as soon as possible. If you have forgotten your password, please use the recovery tool.
The Auth service will return on Tuesday, May 6th at 6PM GMT.
Welcome back, play nice and have fun!

• Run the game
Your feedback is greatly appreciated! So please leave us your constructive feedback in our forums!
