Spawns

Player

Loadout is: 100 health, 50 bullets, MG, Gauntlet

Minimum limbo time is 0.5 second

Maximum limbo time is 3.5 seconds

Biased Player Spawns

1.35 and below: Minimise streaks of "cheap luck". Biased player respawns mean that a player CAN respawn at any spawnpoint, but is more likely to respawn some distance from where he died.

1.37 and above: Q4MAX spawn system. Prevents proximity spawn killing. "Far half from killer". Once you die, your spawn point is randomly selected from anywhere in the opposite half of the map of where the killer is. This prevents lucky spawn killing, and at the same time, preventing furthest predictable spawns like in vq3.

Weapons

DM - 15/5 seconds (map dependant).

TDM - 30 seconds

CTF - 5 seconds

FFA - Weaponstay

Items

Ammo boxes - 30 seconds

Health - 30 seconds

Armour / NTF Packs - 25 seconds

Normal MegaHealth - 20 seconds after wear off (i.e. after player health drops to 100)

Simple MegaHealth - 35 seconds

Powerups

Quad/Haste/Regen - 90 seconds (default)

BS/Invis - 3:00 (default. Spawn is Quad spawn * 2)

Initial spawn time is a 15-second window, starting at 00:15 (i.e 19:45-19:30 on cpm clock).

Initial PU spawns are synced

Suicide (/kill) Penalty is 2500ms

Movement

Speed

Crouching - 80 ups

Walking - 160 ups

Running - 320 ups

Double Jump Window - 400ms

Haste adds 25% boost to base speed and dragpoint.

Capture The Flag

Flag Weight is 50% off your "top" speed so if running speed is 320, drag starts at 640 ups, Flag Carrier drag starts at 480 ups. Haste NEGATES flag weight rather than boosting speed.

CPMA has no footstep sounds.

Damage

Armour

GA protects 1:1, first pickup 50, second adds 50

YA protects 2:1, first pickup 100, second adds 50

RA protects 3:1, first pickup 150, second adds 50

Armour decays in Clan Arena modes only.

RA > 150YA crossover point is 133RA

YA > 100GA crossover point is 75YA

World

Falling Damage - 5 for "soft" landings, 10 for hard ones

Liquid Damage - lava does 40/sec, slime does 16/sec

Drowning damage starts at 00:12 seconds, damage is cumulative (i.e 4/6/8/10/12/14/15 damage/sec)

Powerups

Quad is "true", i.e. 4x damage.

Battlesuit protects at 75% + only direct hits damage

Splash weapons use consistent directional knockback rules. (baseq3 has completely different behaviour for direct hits vs splash)

Weapons

200ms switch from G/MG to non-spawn weapons.
Does not apply to first switch so you can grab a weapon after respawning and use it immediately.

Packs contain current weapon and max of one box of ammo for each weapon in DM, and one "loadout" (the weapon's initial ammo count) for each in team games.
