=== Shader Changes ===

* The default shaders have been overridden with the equivalents from Mapbase. Custom materials should prefix SDK_ to their shaders, such as replacing LightmappedGeneric with SDK_LightmappedGeneric. This can be automated using the [https://www.moddb.com/mods/mapbase/downloads/mapbase-multi-tool Mapbase Multi-Tool].

* Radial fog is now globally enabled. This should make fog rendering look much nicer, and behave consistently instead of moving with your view angle

* Parallax-corrected cubemaps are now available for cheap, realistic reflections on brush surfaces. See the [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Parallax_obb Valve Developer Community] for documentation. This requires our new set of custom map compilers

* The WaterFlow shader can now be used on materials. This is an updated version of the default Water shader using newer code from Alien Swarm, which includes all changes from Left 4 Dead 2 (flowmaps, lightmap water fog, skybox-only reflections) and most of the changes from Portal 2 (a basetexture "sludge layer", custom fresnel values). This code was originally backported by [https://github.com/DownFall-Team/DownFall DownFall].

* {{code|$blendmodulatetexture}} now renders properly in Hammer

* {{code|$basetexturetransform2}} now works properly when using DirectX 9

* {{code|$phongdisablehalflambert}} can be used to enable Full-Lambertian lighting on model materials with phong shading

* Brush materials can receive phong shading if lit by a projected texture

* {{code|$treesway}} should now be functional on {{code|SDK_VertexLitGeneric}} materials

* Added a Spywalk indicator on the [[Disguise Kit|Disguise]] HUD (enabled via {{code|tf2c_spywalk_hud}}, enabled by default)

* Fixed [[Nail Gun|nail]] and [[Syringe Gun|syringe]] projectiles playing impact sounds when touching friendly buildings

* Fixed [[Huntsman]] not respecting {{code|mod_sniper_zoom_while_jumping}} value

* [https://github.com/tf2classic/tf2classic-issue-tracker/issues/154 #154] - Fixed music in the main menu not being affected by the music volume (boba)

* [https://github.com/tf2classic/tf2classic-issue-tracker/issues/189 #189] - Fixed [[Huntsman|burning arrows]] not getting extinguished underwater

* [https://github.com/tf2classic/tf2classic-issue-tracker/issues/225 #225] - Fixed {{code|custom_projectile_model}} not precaching gibs
