## GENERAL
- The HUD loop now runs on the shared 16 Hz frame gate (SkillUtils.IsHudFrame) instead of keeping its own every-other-tick schedule, and fifteen skills that were refreshing their HUD on every single tick were moved onto that same gate.
- Added SkillData.GetSnapshot(), a cached array of the registered skills, so the HUD no longer copies the whole skill bag every frame. The cache is invalidated together with the existing lookup map, so a reload still picks up new skills.
- Added SkillUtils.ForceFullUpdateToAllChunked(), which spreads a full network update across frames (two clients per frame) instead of pushing one for every connected client in a single tick. The original ForceFullUpdateToAll is untouched, so the six skills that already call it keep their current behaviour.
- BlastShot, Cypher and Iana now clear their HUD line in DisableSkill, so a stale line can no longer survive the skill being taken away.
## FIXES
- SoundMaker threw a divide-by-zero on every tick when its cooldown was configured as 0, because the tick gate divides by that value. The cooldown is now clamped to at least 1.
- Regeneration and RadarHack were calling the wrong SkillsInfo.DefaultSkillInfo overload, which silently dropped disableOnFreezeTime, requiredPermission, hudDuration, descriptionHudDuration, maxPerServer and rarity. Every configured field now reaches the base class, so those two skills finally honour their own config.
- Falcon Eye blocked the trigger on the wrong side of the check: picking up a weapon while back in the normal view locked primary and secondary fire, because the pickup handler tested for the player being in their own view instead of in the skill camera.
- Spectator locked primary and secondary fire when its camera could not be created at all, which happens when no enemy is alive to spectate. The player stayed in the normal view with a weapon that would not fire until the round ended.
## SKILL IMPROVEMENTS
- Wallhack:
-- The glow build and the full network update now start when freeze time ends and are spread across frames, instead of running in a single tick the moment the skill is handed out. On a busy server this used to cost roughly 13 ms in one frame, close to a dropped tick at 64 tick; across four grants in an eight-hour session it no longer reaches the 2 ms profiler threshold at all.
- Jackal:
-- CheckTransmit resolves the trail relays once per frame rather than once per viewer, so the same entity lookups are no longer repeated for every client on the server.
-- Removed an opponent list that was gathered in EnableSkill and never used.
- ThrowingKnife:
-- CheckTransmit builds the knife glow list once per frame, and the viewer index is resolved once per client instead of once per knife.
- Glaz:
-- The observer target is only resolved for players who do not own the skill themselves, and the lookup now bails out early when there is no observer target at all.
- RadarHack and QuickShot:
-- The skill check runs before the validity check, so players without the skill are skipped immediately instead of being fully validated first.
- Distancer, HealingChicken and SoundMaker:
-- These now return straight away while nobody holds the skill, rather than walking the player list every tick.
## DEBUG
- Removed the [HITGROUP] mismatch check. Every recorded case was accounted for: ten were Aimbot rewriting the hit group as designed, and thirteen were non-bullet skill damage, which reports a generic hit group by nature. Dropping the check also removes a dictionary write from every damage event.
- Removed the identity-split tag from the damage log. It was dead by construction, because the victim controller had already been routed before the comparison ran, so it could never report a difference.
- Removed the player-shoot handler, which produced no output on this build.
- [DMG] lines now print the routing fields only when the routed index actually differs from the original one, so the check remains as a tripwire without adding noise to every line.
## TRANSLATIONS
- Turkish: reworded sixty-two entries that padded their sentences with second-person verb endings, dropped the English glosses left in parentheses, and settled every [css_useSkill] line into one shape. Also fixed genuine typos in Dracula, Giant, Thorns and Impostor.
- All eight languages received the strings for the four new skills. (AI)
## NEW SKILLS:
- Chameleon: The first player you kill gives you their skill.
- Grapple Hook: Press [css_useSkill] to fire a hook at the point you are aiming at and pull yourself there.
- Inheritance: When a teammate dies you can take over their skill.
- Ricochet: Your bullets bounce off walls and can still hit enemies.
## GENERAL
- Added a css_entity admin command to check whether an entity with a given index/handle exists (prints the designer name to chat or console).
- Added a TakeDamage post-hook (OnTakeDamagePost) alongside the existing pre-hook, so skills can now react after damage has actually been applied, not just before.
- Added CreateMolotovProjectile (new CMolotovProjectile_CreateFunc signature) and CreateTrackedChicken entity helpers.
- Added a weapon_mp7 → weapon_mp5sd fallback mapping.
- Added class for KillfeedIcons
## SKILL IMPROVEMENTS
- Aimbot:
-- Only forces a headshot hitgroup once (skips if it's already a head or an invalid hitgroup), and now restores the original hitgroup value in the new post-damage hook instead of leaving it overwritten.
- Tripwire:
-- Reduced the default wire width from 1.5 to 0.7.
## NEW SKILLS:
- Berserker: You deal more damage and move faster as your health gets lower.
- Blast Shot: Press Attack2 with the MP5 to fire an HE grenade.
- Demon Eye: You deal damage to every enemy you are looking at.
- Fire Rain: Throw a decoy to call down a rain of Molotovs.
- Flashlight: Click [css_useSkill] to turn the flashlight on or off; its light can blind enemies.
- Healing Chicken: Your chickens heal you while you are nearby.
- Jetkick: Select a player to jetkick - every shot they fire knocks them backwards until disabled.
- Last Gasp: After you die, you deal damage to the enemy who killed you.
- Take Ammo: Click [css_useSkill] to take the active weapon's magazine from a random enemy.
- Team Teleport: Press [css_useSkill] to teleport to the teammate you're looking at.
