Note: Versions prior to v132 used seperate AdvancedSay and AdvancedTeamSay command to make use of the above parameters, these have now been integrated into UT standard Say & TeamSay commands under League Assault.
ThrowArmour Command
This new command allows you to throw some or all of your armor in the same way you would your weapon. This allows you to share your armor with your team mates. Executing this command with no parameter will throw the lowest rated armor you are carrying (Order rating: Thigh Pads -> Chest Armor -> Shield Belt). Alternatively you can add a parameter value 1, 2 or 3 after to throw a specific armor item (1:Thigh Pads, 2:Chest Armor, 3:Shield Belt).
v132+ Allow ThrowArmor instead.
ChangeTeams Command
Executing the ChangeTeams command will change a players current team to the opposing team.
ToggleMute Command
The ToggleMute command allows message muting. There are 3 options:
1. Mute OFF.
2. Mute ENEMY Messages.
3. Mute ALL Messages.
If a player has mute on it will show next to his name on the scoreboard.
Echo Command
Executing the Echo command relays the selected text to your console.
ShowMatchScore Command
The ShowMatchScore command will display the score during a match.
Spawn Protection
Players are granted a limited period of invulnerability when they spawn. Attackers get 4 seconds of invulnerability, defenders 2 second.
Added (129+): Flashing Health Status on HUD when spawn protection is active, warning in console when spawn protection wears off.
Improved Scoreboard
The scoreboard has been improved to show:
* An individual players packet loss as well as ping.
* An individual players netspeed.
* Team ping & packet loss.
* A complete objective listing including the status of each (completed / uncompleted) and if completed by whom.
Improved HUD (120+)
The HUD has been improved to show:
* Your packet loss and ping.
* Team Sizes (or match score during a match).
* A complete team listing with location, weapon, health, armour and weapon of each team mate.
* A complete objective listing including the status of each (completed / uncompleted) and if completed by whom.
* Remaining Map Time or Elapsed Map Time (Elapsed 129+ Only).
Extended HUD may be toggled on/off with ToggleExtendedHUD and individual features may be toggled with ToggleExtendedHUDItems command or through editing the LeagueASXXX.LeagueAS_HUD section of your user.ini. HUD font size may be toggled with ToggleExtendedHUDFont command and through .ini editing.
Spawn with Dual Enforcers
All players now spawn with Dual Enforcers instead of the previous single Enforcer.
Auto Cannon Health Reduced
All auto-cannons have had their health reduced from 220 to 100.
Changes to Spawn Point Selection System (124+)
The spawn point selection system has been changed so that it no longer considers the players in the same zone or within sight of the spawn point a factor. Spawn point priority is now (from lowest to highest):
1. Any Spawn point which will cause a telefrag.
2. The last used spawn point.
3. All other spawn points.
Changes to Attacking Team Selection System (124+)
The attacking team selection system has been changed so that it is no longer the first player onto the server that decides which team attacks first but instead the team that won the last round is the team which attacks first.
Pause Fixes (130+)
Fixed a few bugs that UT suffers from when the game is paused:
* Console will continue to update while paused (and wont get stuck once its full so you can't read messages anymore).
* Client timers (remaining & elapsed) will continue to work correctly once the game becomes unpaused (previously they would go into catch up mode trying to catch up with the level time which doesn't pause and therefore get out of sync with the actually remaining time).
FortStandard Fixes (132+)
Fixed Fortstandards (Objectives) blocking tracehit weapons.
Auto Pausing (130+)
During a Match the server will auto pause the game if at any point during the game one of the teams loses a player:
* Each Team has a maximum amount of pause time per match as set by the servers MaxPauseTime setting.
* Players may request pause time manually even if a team has not lost a player by executing the RequestPause command.
* Players may cancel a pause that was either started automatically or manually using the CancelPause command.
