Hello folks!



This build contains a few months of cumulative changes as well as some bigger developments. Lets dig into the changes!

Firstly, support for the upcoming community heads pack DLC has been added - keep an eye out for it on steam!
(Patrons of the appropriate tier can use the pack a little early due to how the packs are unlocked, enjoy)

This pack was created from the winning heads of the recent contest, congrats to everyone who's heads made it (there's over a hundred individual heads included!) and huge thanks to everyone who entered!

Stats support has been added. Verra, Furai, and JRGP are working on integrating this with all the official servers, which should happen soon.
This will provide persistent statistics as per this pitch and may form the basis for further persistent progression systems.

The Mapcycle for TDM has been updated. CTF changes are coming soon. Big thanks to the map moderation team!

Resupply now gives the full amount even if you already have materials. If semi-AFK builders become an issue we'll look as limiting resupply for idlers, but as it is the AFKs are automatically kicked anyway. This has been an often-requested change and was fulfilled through community development.

Other notable community developments include:

• Accolades have been updated with several tourneys worth of data.
  
• Some script format inconsistencies have been fixed (102 files changed!)
  
• Turkish in-game translation added
  
• Vehicle GUI will now be semi-transparent (big thanks to Andresian for doing the bounty)
  
• Shader support for mods (along with more functions for 3D mods)
  
• White minimap fix attempt (let us know if you see it after this update)
  

Check the changelog for more!

We hope you enjoy the update,
💖 THD

Hey folks! Been a bit more of a delay on this one as some bigger changes went into testing and had to come out again due to issues. Sorry for the delay on getting patreon heads, accolades and some important balance things through to release!

Without further ado, here's the changes:

The big thing in terms of balance this build is a limit of 1 quarry per team. This is in response to the more competitive side of the game finding ways to really streamline quarry production and use it to stall out games. For servers who want that kind of thing, it's quite an easy change to revert.


There are also improvements to the f6 "video recording" mode for streamers and folks recording for youtube. This provides a cleaner no-gui experience for when you want a good screenshot or video capture.

The cursor is still visible, the spectator camera works again, going into menus will disable it all properly, and for modders, render hooks are still called (so you can decide manually what to disable).
Thanks to Epsilon for his work on this!

Quite a few minor fixes also made it in, and the main menu "minor function" buttons recieved a small facelift + reorganisation, as adding a button for the server rules pushed everything over too far.


Cheers,
Max
