Balance Council(#19)

ID	Category	Title	Creator	Status	Result
19	balance	Direct push force applied by weapons to entities (other than the shooter) toward bbox centre instead of camera position, ie change default to g_player_damageplayercenter 1. Subtle change, makes combat feel less "floaty" and more consistent with expectations, increases dodging ability of average players.	bones_was_here	PASSED	14:0(0 abstained, 12 didn't vote)

bones_was_here	YES
carnag3	YES	good change, have been testing it for a while in bones server
Cloudwalk	YES	of course
divVerent	YES	Seems more realistic, however please make sure to test some existing trickjump tech (especially blaster based) if it's still comparable
Dodger	NONE
Dr. Jaska	YES	Having knockback be applied towards the player head makes it practically impossible to knock players downwards if they happen to be at the same level or above you. Shooting someone on the same elevation straight on the shoulder (on the upper part of their body) with a blaster should never push them upwards but downwards.
ferreum	YES	Seems good from playtesting, no issues in TDM. Consistent push direction makes bouncing players around more satisfying.

nitroxis	NONE
pcl0l	YES	Good change that improves consistency with projectile weapons / weapon combos. As others have stated, testing will be needed to see if additional adjustments are necessary (primarily for Devastator and Blaster)
rly_xa	YES	Satisfied with this change from our playtesting, far more consistent and predicable push behaviour
J.R.	NONE
Silent	YES	Seems more predictable and realistic, makes combat noticeably less aerial
SPLAT	YES	from what I've seen this isn't game breaking and only leads to more consistent gameplay
Spike29	YES	Played a few TDM games with this setting, overall the push behaviour feels more consistent.
terencehill	YES
turkey_shoot	YES	push should behave in a predictable manner, and in a way which can be used tactically. It's an important part of the game (for me at least).
z411	NONE
