PromodFlex launcher 0.2.9

Match overview

• New page for any finished match: the result and score over the map, a round-by-round strip (hover a round to see who won it and how), and both teams' scoreboards with the captain and the MVP tagged. HQ shows each half's hold time and captures/destroys.
• It opens on its own when your match ends, and from any match in Career or in a duo's games on Rankings. Back returns you to where you were.
• Matches you weren't in read the same for anyone, with a neutral FINAL.

Simpler Play, Career and Teams

• One name per mode: 2V2 HQ (was 2V2 HQ RANKED).
• Play has no status line over the main panel; the panel carries the state and its timer.
• No queue head-counts on the mode list and no Play badge on the side rail.
• Career drops the RANK HIDDEN chip and the "hidden this season" notes. Teams drops the ringers list.

Alerts

• The taskbar now flashes on a match alert whenever "Bring to front" is off. The separate Flash setting is gone.

Optional update: 0.2.1 and later keep working and show the update banner.

Match vote

• 5v5 votes have a new FRAGS ballot: REDUCED (frag grenades deal 65% damage) or NORMAL. REDUCED is the default, so no vote or a tie gives reduced frags. 2v2 HQ keeps normal frags and has no FRAGS ballot.
• The defaults are standard sights (no red dots), standard mode (no economy) and reduced frags.
• The result line names the frags, e.g. "CRASH · IRON SIGHTS · STANDARD · REDUCED FRAGS".

Career

• Career and the website profile read the new published per-match stat summaries.

Game

• Needs the 0.1.5 game patch, which the launcher installs: the reduced frag option, and a 30-second economy buy phase.

Optional update: 0.2.1 and later keep working and show the update banner. Older launchers can't show or cast the FRAGS ballot.

Avatars

• Change your picture from Settings → Account: click your picture, pick an image, crop it, save. It shows in the launcher title bar, the party cards, the match board and on the website. "Use my Steam avatar" puts the Steam picture back.
• Needs the website release of the same day (it stores and serves the pictures).

Game updates

• A GAME UPDATE banner now appears on every tab when a new PromodFlex build is out, with INSTALL and Later, like the launcher update banner.
• "Install updates automatically" now covers game builds too: a pending game update installs when the launcher starts and you are idle, with the progress on the Install tab. A first install is still your call.

Also includes everything in 0.2.6 (buy-menu key bind, the 0.1.4 client patch).

Optional update: 0.2.1 and later keep working and show the update banner; 0.2.0 and older still have to update.

The launcher now gives the in-game buy menu a key: if no key opens it yet, it binds F6 (or F7 when F6 is already used) at launch, and the buy-phase hint shows whichever key is bound. Rebinding it in Controls keeps your choice.

Optional update: 0.2.1 and later keep working and show the update banner; 0.2.0 and older still have to update. The PromodFlex 0.1.4 game patch (buy-phase refunds, new gear row and sounds) installs from the Install screen with any launcher.

Maintenance release: internal cleanup of the Play tab code behind the party cards, the versus block and the HQ flow. No visible changes. The admin match table now shows District for mp_citystreets.

Optional update: 0.2.1 and later keep working and show the update banner; 0.2.0 and older still have to update.

Play tab

• Match ready and in match show the new versus block: your team and theirs on each side of the map art, with K/D on every player. 2v2 HQ shows two player cards a side; 5v5 shows five rows a side. Your own entry is green. The mode list steps aside while a match is ready or running.
• Maps are shown by name everywhere (Crash, Strike, District, ...), including the draft header and the helper lines.
• The mode list sits at the top of its column.
• Invite duo partner: when few people have played with you recently, the list is filled with other players (most recently signed in first), so there is always someone to invite. Needs the matchmaker deployed alongside this release.

Optional update: 0.2.1 and later keep working and show the update banner; 0.2.0 and older still have to update.

Fix

• 2v2 HQ Ranked no longer flashes the captains draft page. The countdown after the ready check and the moment the server starts after the map vote now stay on the Play tab with your party cards (MATCH STARTING, then STARTING SERVER).
• The HQ map vote reads 2V2 HQ, offers only the map and sights ballots, and counts votes out of four.

Optional update: 0.2.1 and 0.2.2 keep working and show the update banner; 0.2.0 and older still have to update.

PromodFlex launcher 0.2.2

PromodFlex launcher 0.2.2

Play tab

• 2v2 HQ Ranked: the party is two player cards side by side. Your card shows your picture when your account has one, otherwise your initial, with your name over the bottom. The partner card is the gold INVITE card until a partner joins, then INVITE SENT, then IN PARTY.
• The status line above the button is gone while you are idle. The button and the line under it say what is needed. It still shows while queued, when a match is found or ready, and while an update installs.
• The rule between the party block and the button is gone.

Optional update: 0.2.1 keeps working and shows the update banner; 0.2.0 and older still have to update.

Profile picture

• New "Pull from Steam" button: loads your Steam avatar into the crop square, so you can zoom, move and save it like any other picture.
• The hint text under the zoom slider is gone.

Match vote

• The options are now yes / no questions: ECONOMY MODE?, RED DOTS? and REDUCED FRAGS?, each with its icon and a short line saying what it does.
• DEFAULT marks the answer that wins if nobody votes.
• A bar and one square per vote show how each question is going; map tiles show one square per vote too.
• The Random tile shows the maps it can draw.
