dfs.tf/updates/springbloom
With spring time comes spring cleaning! And we're bringing a ton of new content, changes and improvements to DFS to make the servers' plugins, gamemodes and a lot more as great as they can get!
New DFS Chat System
We're introducing a completely revamped chat system to allow for easier and more user-friendly customization of chat tags and colors!- Custom tags and chat colors will no longer be tied to donation deals. Instead, custom tags and colors will now be controlled by new DFS items and modules.
- We'll be introducing Recalibration Crate Series #2, #3 and #4 with this update, each crate includes a bunch of Chat Modules and Recalibration items that you can unbox.
- Chat Modules are used to enable custom chat colors for yourself. There are 9 modules you can obtain in total:
- Chat Tag Module - Set a custom color of choice for your tag
- Chat Name Module - Set a custom color of choice for your name
- Chat Text Module - Set a custom color of choice for your chat text
- Chat Tag Team Dyer - Set team colors for your tag depending on your team
- Chat Name Team Dyer - Set team colors for your name depending on your team
- Chat Text Team Dyer - Set team colors for your chat text depending on your team
- Chat Tag Rainbowifier - Rainbowize your tag colors
- Chat Name Rainbowifier - Rainbowize your name colors
- Chat Text Rainbowifier - Rainbowize your chat text colors
[li]Introducing the Recalibration System:[/li]
- Available and usable from the Guild Hall
- Allows the user to "recalibrate" the effects/values of modules that are supported.
- All color modules added by this update have their own unique color values, by using recalibration items on chat modules, players will be able to change the color value of their modules to any color and color tone they want!
- To recalibrate color modules to a different color, you'll need to obtain the newly added Recalibration items. Currently these items are obtainable by:
- Available from the Recalibration Crate Series #2, #3 and #4 alongside with Chat Modules.
- Also obtained by beating DFS-exclusive bosses including: The Snatcher, The Conductor, DJ Grooves and Pumpking.
[li]A new rare item called Tag Badge can now be purchased from the Gold Store for 15,000 credits or be dropped as a rare legendary item from beating DFS-exclusive bosses. It allows you to set or change your custom tag to anything at will![/li][li]You can equip custom colors for your Tag, Name and Text by using Chat Modules.[/li]
- Chat Modules can have their colors changed through the use of Recalibration Items.

[li]Default map time has been reduced from 30 minutes to 25 minutes, with the exception of tm_stadium still remaining at 30 minutes.[/li]

[li]Deathrun Neu Changes[/li]A couple of weapons' attributes have been changed for this gamemode to prevent some confusion and to fix an exploit.
- Boston Basher/Three-Rune Blade:
- You can now hit yourself again...
- ... but you don't get pushed for doing so!
[li]Wrap Assassin:[/li]
- Disabled alt fire due to being able to push melee-only buttons using ornaments.
- Damage penalty reduced to 25% and added a 20% fire rate bonus.
[li]Rocket Jumper/Sticky Jumper:[/li]
- No longer regenerates ammo.
- You can now pick up intelligence/JACK while carrying these weapons, if the map has one.
[li]Powerjack:[/li]

[li]Half-Zatoichi:[/li]
- Can no longer restore health on kill.
[li]Dodgeball Redux Updates[/li]After endlessly sacrificing lives by killing each other with dodge-rockets, the Dodgeball God has finally awoken to deliver 3 new rocket types!
- New rocket: Air Strike
- The Air Strike is a small twist of the Homing Rocket. Every time you airblast it, the rocket will always go up before locking onto the enemy.
[li]New rocket: Dead Eye[/li]
- The Dead Eye is a relentless version of the Homing Rocket. It hunts down targetted players with a dead-on turn rate. Think you can orbit one that easily? Think again.
- Moves at a slightly slower speed, ramps up slightly less speed and damage on each airblast.
- Has a lower supershot speed multiplier
[li]New rocket: KO Glove[/li]
- The KO Glove is a rocket for those who are experienced with Dodgeball's supershots. Supershotting someone with the KO Glove makes it go way faster, but it turns very slowly. Use it to your advantage to dodge one if you get supershotted.
- Starts with a higher base damage, ramps up slightly less speed on each airblast, cannot be "spiked" well.
- Can bounce only once.

[li]af_bananarama:[/li]
- Added back banana slip sounds.
[li]af_tf2_party_a14:[/li]
- Removed waterfallers building block, as it's been fixed.
- Corrected some trigger placements.
[li]arena_aps_siberia_v3:[/li]

[li]cp_oranges_rc1:[/li]
- Added some extra supplies to the map.
[li]cp_orange_cross2_v2:[/li]
- Removed map timer.
[li]ctf_2fort_breakable:[/li]
- Capping the bomb no longer instantly ends the round.
[li]cyberpunk:[/li]
- You can now unlock the DJ room.
- Smells like being in a fast food restauraunt. What could this mean?
[li]cyberpunk2_a:[/li]
- You can now unlock the Disco room.

- Team kills can be viewed in the scoreboard.
- Players will respawn on death.
[li]koth_jerusalem_af:[/li]
- All classes move at 520 hu/s, scouts cannot double jump.
[li]pass_stadium:[/li]
- Players now drop the JACK when entering spawn.
- Consequently, the JACK gets pushed back outside if it gets into spawn.
[li]pipeball_canyon_a4:[/li]
- Reduced brightness for the ball.
[li]pl_nat20_b2b:[/li]
- Blocked off a lot of stuckspots for the dice.
- Enabled spells.
[li]pl_spacewar_b8:[/li]
- Fixed a displacement stuckspot.
