DOWNLOAD TESTING BUILDSo I finally got this to a point where I'm happy to show it. Hope you like it, please give feedback. Might still contain some bugs and stuff so be aware of that. Remember to post any errors with information about when/why they happened.
Currently I haven't added any of the optional things to menus, but you can edit them in
"ES.ini". For pubs you can skip the ready-up with an option in the .ini or the command
"autostart".
Open the console with F3.
Use chat_v2 plugin for chatting for now.

HeavyRe-implemented ammo sputter, now shoots 2 bullets instead of 1.

Intel reset timer will now charge while eating.

Uber charging rate is a flat rate.
Self HP-regen changed, from 3 to 5.
EngieIncreased sentry's damage per shot, from 8 to 8.5.
Reduced the randomness of the speed of bullets from the shotgun, from a variance of 2, to a variance of 1.5.

Reduced the time before being allowed to pick up the intel again after dropping it, from 10 seconds to 2 seconds.
Changed overtime mechanics in CTF back to the old ones, as long as the score difference is not greater than 1 and someone is carrying the intel the game will be in overtime.
Intel reset timer now charges with a flat time, not based on movement speed.
Intel slowdown now only applies to scout.

Removed spy ghosts.
Players can now RJ/DJ while being ubered.

Speed from a RJ/DJ can be preserved by using the queued jumping mechanic. Each successive jump reduces your speed by half of difference between your current horizontal speed, and your normal non-RJ/DJ maximum horizontal speed.
Fixed classlimits, you will now cannot be assigned a class that is full, although this may still happen if players change team.
When a spy stabs the range of the stab is shown.
Graphical:HUDImproved all game-mode HUDs (excluding Generator):
--CTF: Reduced size; intel reset timer is shown more accurately; arrows now point with the origin from the player, not from the HUD.
--CP Modes: Full countdown until unlock is shown; current capping state is shown more accurately, time in seconds left until cap, % of capping done, and the sprite is more accurate.
Added an outline to the lock sprite to make it look better on the HUD.
