Mostly a maintenance release to address a bug in the off-hand grapple. Thanks [CL2] R@ancid Me@t (CL2 Clan Site) for pointing it out. And thank you Evolution (from Quake-Revolution for pointing out it was likely a prediction issue (damn you Q3!)
What happened to 1.3b6 you ask? Well, it actually never happened. It wound up fixing the bug in offhand-grapple, but was no where near the real solution :-/ (they all can’t be gems folks…) So, it was sh!t canned in 1.3b7 was born.
Here’s a snippet from the ReadMe :
2/28/2008 -Monkk: Fixed broken off-hand grapple. Thanks Evolution for
aid in locating the problem and R@ncid Me@t of CL2 for
finding it (bastard
sorry it took so long to fix...). While I
was in there I added 2 grapple related cvars (server
controlled): mod_grappleDistance and mod_grappleSpeed.
3/2/2008 -Monkk: Completely redid the offhand grapple to not force
the sound on the weapon itself, but instead on the hook
that is being fired. When one is attached to the wall with
the offhand grapple, the grapple continues to make the
sound. You will also notice the sound originates from the
hook missile. This is due to having no weapon actually firing
it. The normal q3 grappling hook weapon gun acts the same
as it always has. Also added cvar for
mod_ambientWeaponSound which will disable the sounds of
the RG, LG, and BFG

Hey just came across your new Reactance server running the new build and it rocks! I am a huge fan of Q3 CTF Rail and have noticed sadly that over recent years it has slowly and almost completely vanished. I’m not sure how long the new server has been running but I will be in and out from time to time brushing up on the old skool rail jumping skills.
Good job and cheers.

Thanks! Yeah, steadily on the decline unfortunately. A couple of us got together and thought getting one for a little weekend bash might be fun, just has been up around amonth. Not sure how long I’ll keep it up but a few months I’m sure
More if people actually use it.
