New perk levels included enhanced abilities for each perk. - Added 22 new Achievements focused on the new Perk, Maps, and Weapons. - Completely redone User Interface with a more user friendly Trader Menu design. - Implemented new Headshot system that improves headshot detection in network games. Additionally this system fixes Insta-Kill Decap on Fleshpound when attacking up close, and fixes the headshot detection issues on the Scrake. - Improved Healing tool functionality. Healing tool will no longer give false positives where the healing animation plays but no actual healing occured. Healing should be easier to perform as well. - Added ability to Repair Body Armor at Trader, with the additional ability to partially repair the armor when low on money. - Improved Collision Detection on players. Should allow you to shoot Zeds near other players where the old cylinder collision would not. - Tweaked Clot attack animations. - Fixed not being able to properly select your Perk in the Lobby Menu when you join a game during Trader Time. - Fixed 3rd Person Nade throwing animations not working online. - Fixed issues with the UPnP system implemented in version 1007. The UPNP system should now properly handle opening ports on many more routers. UPNP system is now asychronous so will no longer make the game appear to hitch if the UPNP system is active. Including a new INI setting for disabling UPnP support. - Fixed known exploits on all official maps(KF-BioticsLab, KF-Farm, KF-Foundry, KF-Manor, KF-Offices, and KF-WestLondon).

Re: [hlds] Required Killing Floor Update/Content Pack Released
There are some third party admin tools and other things for the Unreal engine and presumably Killing Floor. I really haven't messed with KF much beyond simply setting it up and changing a few things. To John/Tripwire: One thing I REALLY like about L4D (from a server op standpoint) is the little in-game banner ad that is on the scoreboard. I wish more games had something like this, it is way cooler than just a bunch of spammy text chat ads. If you guys could add something similar to that, even just like a little 300x50 px image we can upload/link to in the web admin panel it would be amazing. On that note, to Jason/Valve: The web admin panel that Unreal has to do things like server configuration is elite. Please steal this idea.
