THE HIVE V0.2.0

BRACKETS AND THE HALL OF FAME (NEW)
Lobbies can now run tournaments with a real bracket. Look for the gold TOURNAMENT tag on events in the Hub’s News & Events.
Two bracket types:
KOTH: lose once and you’re out.
Double elimination: lose twice and you’re out. It ends with a Grand Final, plus one more match if the Losers bracket side wins it.
[] Sizes: anything from 1v1 to 32v32, up to 64 players or clans.
[
] Matches: best of 1, 2, 3, 5 or 7.
[] Signing up: click the event to open its page.
1v1: you sign yourself up.
2v2 and up: your clan leader signs the clan up, and the clan needs at least as many members as the team size. Then members join the roster themselves, plus up to 2 subs.
Click any clan to see its roster.
[
] When sign ups close:
Sign ups close 24 hours before the event unless the host picks another time. After that nobody can sign up or drop out.
The bracket is drawn at random, and everyone in it is paged with who they play.
A clan whose roster isn’t full by then doesn’t make the bracket.
[] The bracket:
It’s right on the event page.
Pop out opens it in its own window, so you can full screen it or put it on another monitor.
Ranks that can run KOTH enter the results, and the bracket fills in for everyone as they do.
[
] Champions: when a Champion is crowned, everyone who played is paged. The Champion goes into that lobby’s Hall of Fame, behind the gold Hall of Fame button in the Hub.
The newest Champion is up front.
Every past Champion is on the Legends wall.
Most titles shows who has won the most.

VOICE
Each person’s volume: right-click anyone and set their volume from 0% to 200%. Only you hear the change, and it follows you to any PC.
Private mod chat: when you press Ready in a room with voice, the moderator can make a private voice chat for the match. Players can then join it, stay in room chat, or mute all chat. Cameras and streams stay with the whole room.
In game voice overlay: shows who’s talking on top of your game, with their picture, name and sound wave, in the corner you pick. It works in Windowed and Borderless. Games in exclusive Full Screen draw over it.
Options > Voice Overlay Settings: set these:
your voice while in a game;
the overlay on or off, and what it shows;
its size, how see-through it is, and its corner;
everyone’s volume, in one list.
[*] Switch voice chat key (Options > Key Bindings, Right Shift to start): flips between room chat and the private mod chat, even while you’re in a game.

FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS
Streaming: your mic, camera and screen share now stay under your rank’s upload limit together.
AvP 2010: THE HIVE now knows when you quit the game. You no longer stay marked as in game, and Join Game works again.
Profanity filter: it now works everywhere people’s words show;
chat, the Pager and the detached Pager;
forums and Hubs;
profiles and clans;
room names and gift card notes.

Turn it on or off in Options > Profanity filter.
