Sorry for the release spam (two releases in two days), but this one might solve a lot of problems. I ported Balance Mod to SVN 846 tonight and applied a number of patches I found on bugzilla.
Tremulous Balance ModSVN 846 rev. 3
Features Added- Aliens can devolve into lower classes and regain half of spent evos!
- Credit/evo donation command 'donate #'. Alms for the poor!
- Select weapon command 'itemgun', to use: \bind g itemgun
- Blaster now has a splash knockback. Knock around dretches!
- New Tranquilizer Saw grabs enemies. Grab squirrely tyrants!
- New Bile Dretch explodes shortly after death. No more turret squatters!
Tweaks- Evolving will display new class and evos spent.
- Double Basilisk poison cloud range.
- Barricade health and regen doubled.
Bugs Fixed- Construction kit cools down when blaster is being used.
- EV_PAIN no longer overflows byte size. Tyrants will not cry at 256 hp.
Integrated Patches- vcxznet's backport compatibility patch to make this mod work with stock
clients.
- Alric's inventory belt colors patch. Out-of-ammo weapons are now red and
non-usable items cannot be selected and appear gray.

http://www.missirina.com/risujin/tremulous/balance/balance-846-3.patchClient InstallationYou can simply connect to a server running the mod. If you want a faster download you can download the pk3 file and place it in the
Tremulous/balance folder (which you may have to create).
Server InstallationFind your Tremulous folder (for Linux users you can also use .tremulous in your home folder). Make a new balance folder in there next to base, base2, etc. Place the balance pk3 file in there. You will probably want a copy of your server.cfg (which you can find in the base folder) in there as well. Modify that to setup the server.
Windows servers are started like this (from the command line, or create a new shortcut):
tremulous.exe +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game balance +exec server.cfgThe Linux command is:
tremded.x86 +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game balance +exec server.cfgThis version of the mod should run on all versions of Tremulous compatible with the 1.1.0 client (755 and all backports).
