  • Item fogs spawned while using the spawn or respawnitems CCMDs are now always positioned correctly.
  • The following changes have been made to the r_blood CVAR:
    • The CVAR can now be set to nofuzz, causing all blood spilled by spectres (as well as the player while they have a partial invisibility power-up) to be red instead of fuzzy.
    • Puffs are now spawned rather than nothing when the CVAR is none.
    • All blood spilled will now be red when the CVAR is red, and green when the CVAR is green.

    • Health, armor and ammo now flash slightly brighter when they change, and do so even when the r_hud_translucency CVAR is off.
    • Ammo now flashes when the player switches to a weapon with different ammo.
    • Health and ammo now flash on and off when low and the r_hud_translucency CVAR is off.

  • The automap will now rotate correctly in the background if the menu is open and the am_rotatemode CVAR is off.
