Gameplay Mutators BETA 7

Hey folks!

This small patch slightly improves rain visuals and performance.
Everything seems to be ready for the update, so unless there are any bug reports, this might as well be the last BETA before release. :)
Life's going to get a bit busy for me once more very soon, so the update should be going live sometime around December 18th.

Version 1.3.0 BETA 7:
- improved rain visuals and CPU performance

Accessing the beta branch

Simply right-click on Intravenous in your game list, click on 'Properties', switch over to the 'BETAS' tab, and opt into the "mutatorsupdate" beta.
Once the game finishes updating, you're good to go!
As always, since this is a BETA release, don't expect it to be stable. Expect bugs and/or crashes.

ATTENTION! PLEASE READ!

If you opt into the beta, use the "Magazine system" gameplay mutator, save, switch back to the 1.2.X version of the game, then that savefile will not load, as it contains a new weapon (mag loader tool) which is not present in the pre-mutator update version of the game.

Gameplay Mutators BETA 6

Hey folks!

This BETA patch improves several things, and takes care of a couple of issues.
We're slowly getting closer and closer to release, as so far the update has all the things I've wanted to implement.
I'd appreciate it if you folks tested the 'mutatorsupdate' branch out!

Version 1.3.0 BETA 6:
- when dynamic rain is enabled, it's intensity and surface wetness increases over time, which leads to the background noise increasing over time, and the footsteps starting to sound "wet" gradually over time, instead of instantly
- added the ability to enable rain, and force-disable rain for levels in the level editor
- german, portuguese-brasil, spanish, turkish, russian localization updates
- fixed the "load mags" tool using up a gadget weapon slot
- fixed player-unbound actions being reset back to their default keys when starting the game
- fixed an under-the-hood problem with the rain

This patch applies some optimizations to a critical part of the game, so some testing would be appreciated.

- added joystick controls to the gameplay mutators menu
- new gameplay mutator: dynamic rain - rain might start as you're playing through a level... or it might not

Hey folks!

This BETA patch brings all around fixes and progress.
