Hey Folks! Largely a fix-heavy build this time, but a few community-requested look and functionality changes as well:

• Top border of the map is semi-transparent for any maps with an open sky - this helps you see projectiles that have left the map vertically so they are less surprising when they re-enter the map.
• Siege firing can be cancelled by right-clicking
• Catapult has some cooldown time after firing
• Bindings for controlling minimap colours for custom tiles in mods

The main fixes are:

• Dirt "camping" vulnerability fixed on PressureCooker map
• Sync for chest open/closed on join
• Fall damage "eating" spike damage
• Knight attacking near doors behaviour changed (see this thread for details - feedback and suggestions for further development are welcome)

The Official Modded Server has also been updated with a new mod (The Waste Kind) with another coming "soon" (Zombie Fortress Plus), and the rotation time has been upped to every 3 hours. We'll be getting modded servers up in other regions over the next month or so, but we want to get the USA server rock solid and make sure the mod list is fun and suitable before going through the pain of setting up another 2 of them! The current mod list is as follows:

• The Waste Kind
• Attack and Defence
• Custom Heads CTF
• Shiprekt
• Laser Wars

We're still very keen for feedback on the modded server - what you love, what you hate about it. Have Fun!
