The June Update is here! And this time it matters! For we bring you goodies and fixes! Goodies as in a few new levels, and lots of fixes to your old favorite levels!
Introducing: Faster! Faster!

A high speed survival map that quickly turns into a heap of projectiles, where speed is your only hope of survival.
Lynx Town

A wave like map where you have to carefully manage your resources, because you don't get any more.
The Warped Duo of Destruction, also known as The Plasmathrower and Minelayer, now available for modders and mappers to use in their maps and mods without having to rely on Warped. The Minelayer can lay 10 mines at a time, which is pretty awesome! And they are avilable in all Warped maps and the before-mentioned new survival maps.
We also added some other versus maps, such as Hoodlum's Backyard and Medieval Trouble!

And for those more interested in modding the game should look at the modding part of the complete changelog below, as we've included a few new features for you to use as well. We have Player Barriers, dev textures, ways to fake smart enemies as if they're not complete morons, and even the ability to make textures from PNG files.
Now we must go and celebrate this update, and start the update cycle all over again!
Version AP_2305 is now live with the following full changelog:
Brand new stuff!
Added two new weapons from the original Warped mod: the Plasmathrower and the Minelayer! Improved significantly from the originals, of course!
Added 4 new levels!
Added two new achievements for killing monsters and players with mines
Added detailed leaderboard information when you hover over them
Added a new Statistics menu to the Extras menu
Added level statistics! For each level, this will show your best score for campaign levels, your best time for survival levels and the total amount of kills and playtime gathered on versus levels.
Added a first in some new mutators which is the enemy spawner multiplier mutator for multiplayer
Steam Cloud now syncs player controls and profiles
Immediately see how well you're doing in the leaderboards when you die in survival
Levels!
Added a new Survival map: Lynx Town
Added a new Survival map: Faster! Faster!
Added a new Deathmath map: Hoodlum's Backyard
Added a new Capture the Flag map: Medieval Trouble
Added a completely new and improved version of Brkeen Chevap
Massively improved a lot of versus levels: Hole, Red Station, Fortress, We Got Skulls 'n' Bones Too, The Lost Tomb, Little Trouble, Yodeller, Lefty, Compound and Docking Bay
New modding stuff!
Added barriers, you can make them by making a new world base and toggling "Barrier", this will make it act like any ordinary brush except that it has collisions and is invisible while remaining to be visible in the editor - as an addition to this, you can also toggle "Only collides with player" which will make the barrier only block the player, where as projectiles and enemies can still pass through
Added a bunch of handy developer textures
Added support for creating textures from PNG files (in addition to TGA and PCX)
Added an "Ammo amount" option to weapon items, this allows you to specify how much ammo you get when you pick it up (-1 will use the default)
Added an "Infinite" flag to enemy spawners, this is useful for survival levels
Added the option "Allow give up get closer" to enemy markers, this is to indicate whether they may be used in conjunction with "Give up to closest marker"
Added "Custom model" and "Custom texture" to enemies which can be used to set the enemy model and/or texture to a completely different one just for that level
Hud themes can now change element anchor positions (ask on Steam discussion forums for details)
Added hud_iThemeAmmoBarColumns which can be used to make the ammo bar have multiple rows
Added hud_iThemeWeaponsRows which can be used to make the weapons bar have multiple rows
Added con_fTransparency which is helpful when making Hud themes
Improved Rev Packer tool
Improved Rev Flags tool
Improved Texture Info tool
Fixes and changes!
