Patch #1.3.2

Hello, KitHackers!

We're back with another Patch mainly focused on game optimization and bug fixing. Check out the range of adjustments made below!

[h3]PHYSICS[/h3]

• Part breakage is now handled by FlexPhysics, instead of the old Internal Physics.
  
• Fixed the logic for detecting when struts are bracing a given part.
  

[h3]OPTIMIZATIONS[/h3]

• Part motion now happens separately from colliders, to avoid the (significant) cost of PhysX collider synchronization.
  
• Player RB interpolation is now kept off while the player isn't moving.
  
• Vehicle RB interpolation is now always disabled, for maximum physics performance.
  
• TX screen gauges no longer update if the view mode isn't on the player.
  
• Reduced Tape Gauge (alimeter) update rate to not happen every frame.
  
• Removed Internal Physics components from vehicles, now that Flex Physics is responsible for part breakage.
  
• VehicleFlex FX no longer use PlayableDirectors, and update the animations directly. This drops 90% of the FX update time (from 1.2ms down to 0.1)
  
• Resource Containers (fuel tanks) no longer drain while in the Vehicle Editor. This prevents an enormous lag spike from the fuel drain indirectly leading to a full vehicle analysis recalculation every frame.
  
• Hydrodynamic forces are now coupled to Flex Physics.
  
• Physics stress blobs are now a bit smaller at max intensity.
  

[h3]FIXES[/h3]

• Procgen fuselages should now handle missing stack profiles on other part nodes more gracefully.
  
• Fixed odd 'skipping' motion when moving the view to the right on external chase camera mode.
  
• Fixed errors from PartPhysics initialization that caused symmetry and other editor things to fail.
  
• Fixed interior parts not being clickable in Inspect Vehicle mode even when internal view is active.
  
• Vehicle Resource Networks now revert back to full automatic if any networks have issues during loading/init. (eg ports/linesnot found, bad indices, etc)
  

[h3]VEHICLE EDITOR[/h3]

• Removed compressed air and exhaust gas resources from parts list filters
  
• The small balsawood beam/nose/tail/dowel parts are now visible from interior view.
  
• The part directly under the cursor now has an additional 'drop-shadow' outline to stand out from its child parts
  

[h3]UI[/h3]

• The chat log now cycles through the entire message history with the up and down arrow keys.
  
• Removed non-functional finger print "find me" button in players list.
  
• Disabled drawing of inertia tensors in the FlexPhysics overlay (too cluttered)
  

[h3]MODDING[/h3]

• PartModules and PartComponents now have virtual methods for when the vehicle init is complete.
  

[h3]PARTS[/h3]

• Single-cell Battery now has stack nodes on both sides, R00 profile
  
• Backwash motor now has R0 profiles on both stack nodes (so adapters now adapt to it)
  
• Hummingbird motor now has R00 profiles on both stack nodes.
  
• Magnetar motor now has R00 profiles on its stack nodes.
  
• Wirraby motor now has a T profile on its stack node.
  
• Corrected orientation of stack nodes on 6 and 12 blade EDFs (and added a new node on both)
  
• Removed overly large workshop collider from End Cap
  
• Added a backfacing stack node to Rim Cap part.
  
• Removed unused electric port on passive Hinge
  
• Piston travel speed is now adjustable
  

[h3]STOCK VEHICLES[/h3]

• Replaced Seafury MkI by new MkII design.
  
• Updated the Aeromite 100 to use the newer parts, and gave it an intrepid pilot.
  

[h3]CONTROLS[/h3]

• In all input presets, Shift+Return now opens Team Chat, and Return opens All Chat (defaults swapped around).
  

[h3]AUDIO[/h3]

• Default sound level for Vehicle sounds reduced.
  

[h3]MODS[/h3]

• PolygonApocalypse map mod signed as MP-Safe.
  

Happy KitHacking!
