New patch in publicbeta (v217)

Hello, this is just a bug-fixing patch as I'm still trying to get the build in a satisfactory state so I can push the latest changes from publicbeta to the main branch. Some small fixes, some bigger ones. Here's the changelist:
  • Added a timeout and a distance from corpse check for NPCs blaming the player for leading zombies to a team-mate who was killed by zombies
  • Store empty containers that have a liquid contents policy set in the place you would store them if they were full
  • When looking for a container to store some liquid in, prefer those with a contents policy for that liquid even if they are in further away buildings
  • You can still get the Sole Survivor achievement if you have chickens
  • Tweaked looter camp probability on a new map when you hit the road
  • Stop community members from talking about camp hygiene and such if you don't have a camp, or if they are new
  • If someone is feuding with you they can chase you outside of their own gates, but not if you are in fisticuffs
  • Fix for Charlie Gant starting outside his prison
  • Fix for Kelly feuding with Carter just before he blows up the gate and stopping the Vanished quest from progressing
  • Fix for refugees sometimes joining you if their group is widely separated
  • Fix for fog of war remaining around an ally if they are buried soon after they die
  • Fixes for stuck character rescue code
  • Fix for being able to remotely Eat/Drink/Use items in buildings we aren't in by opening the building inventory in Command Mode
  • Possible fix for terrain cache issues
  • Crash fixes
  • Include list of active mods at bottom of crash reports
  • Added Age to speech param types and added uniqueID as a parameter to EvaluateSpeechParams for modders
  • Updated French, Hungarian, Japanese, Latin American Spanish, Russian and Simplified Chinese translations


[h3]What's this publicbeta thing?[/h3]
v217 will be in the "publicbeta" branch for a while, before pushing it to the main game. If you want to try the latest features as they come out (and help test them!) it's a good idea to start using this branch. But keep in mind:
  • Because it's the bleeding edge it could be less stable
  • If you want to be able to play online co-op with someone you'll need to be on the same version as them
  • If you go back from the "publicbeta" branch to the main branch you may not be able to load savegames created on "publicbeta".

To use publicbeta, just right-click on Survivalist: Invisible Strain in your Steam library and go to Properties, then Betas and in the drop-down select "publicbeta".
