Intravenous 2 News

Hey folks!

This patch tweaks several mod-related things, as per request by the modding community, and fixes a minor bug.

BASE GAME CHANGES
- fixed the closest enemy indicator pointing to non-objective NPCs

MODDING CHANGES
- exposed the following classes/libraries to mod environments: joystickHandler, blastWaveEffect, talkText, statusEffects, difficulty, customDifficulty, armor, radioController
- improved game startup times when a lot of weapon mods that call :setupModCategoryMap() are installed
- each weapon now stores a duplicate of the selectableMods variable

- added method to easily add new weapon mods to existing weapons - weapons:addModToWeapon(weaponID, headerID, modData):
* can add singular weapon mods via weapons:addModToWeapon("someWeapon", "sights", "someMod")
* can add multiple weapon mods via weapons:addModToWeapon("someWeapon", "sights", {"someMod", "otherMod", "anotherMod"})
* modders do not need to call any extra methods such as :setupModCategoryMap, the game will take care of the rest
* attempting to add a mod to a weapon that is not registered will not cause a crash
* returns true on success, false on failure
* skips adding duplicate weapon mods

Hey folks!

This small patch fixes a regression introduced in version RC6.2 which caused the game to crash when alerting pedestrians via gunfire or some other loud noise. I apologize for the inconvenience.

OPTIMIZATIONS
- minor CPU optimizations

BASE GAME CHANGES
- the currently-active music playlist on a given level is now stored as a string, rather than numeric ID, which fixes issues such as incorrect music playing on old savefiles when installing and uninstalling various level mods which come with custom soundtracks
