-Updated Tutorial.
-Updated Template map.

-Toggle throwing mode is now queued properly while throwing a grabbed player.
-Toggling throwing mode during sprint-jumps no longer slows you down.
-Charging a throw (priming a mine/grenade/molotov) during sprint-jumps no longer slows you down.-
-Optional "-start" command line argument added that will auto start the game/server. Now possible to autostart the server with command "'Superfighters Deluxe.exe' -start -server" which can be added to autorun programs if you want.
-Updated the main font so that "I" and "l" are no longer identical (to prevent account name impersonation).

I can't Descripe How Happy Iam Now , This Update Is The One i Was Waiting So Long to See , Thanks Dynamic Duo !

Oops, we forgot to include the new Tutorial map in the update. We promptly released a hotfix.

now that this update is out, which it took a lot of time for you guys to create (which i respect). are there going to be more frequent updates?

The modifiers and other property additions to objects is great to see, helps cut down on scripts for simplistic things like area triggers only activating on x item entering the area.

Getting a throw distance and jumping power added to the player modifier marker would be fun for stupid things like super jumps or throwing items/people half-way across the map.

Great update!
I really like the new Tutorial, except this guy

Since this one was mostly behind-the-scenes stuff, we'll probably make something smaller but with obvious gameplay value next, like a new weapon or item.

Damn, that's a nice update!
The new Tutorial is pretty solid (especially the guy on our team, heh) and I hope that in the next update we will play with Burnt skin (really good work with this).

I've been waiting a long time for this stuff

Only one word: HYPE

And, as usual i am not at home to play that update (i couldnt play the last 3 mayor updates the first day, which is sad fir a superfighter...)

Awesome update! The feeling I got when seeing that tutorial bot aiming at me... There are so many new possibilities!

-Fixed a bug where the 3-hit combo caused increased knockback on grabbed players.
-Fixed bugs related to player positioning and rotation while caught in a dive.

Let's go to make...

Great update but if you're gonna start working on the chat can you make it so if I bind my keys to caps it doesn't affect the chat? I mean come on I asked about this while we were still in pre-alpha and lord behold the problems still freaking there.

I don't remember this suggestion, and I don't think it's a given that it should work like that. Others would complain that caps lock doesn't work in chat.

Nice update devs.

If caps lock is activated the key input we receive from windows (user32.dll) will be in upper case. There's nothing broken here. Consider to not bind any actions to your caps lock key.
