[h2]Changes:[/h2]
[h2]Convenience[/h2]
- Added hotkeys for control panel signals & device groups:
- Device Groups are toggled with CTRL + SHIFT + 1 to 8
- Signals Column are toggled with CTRL + ALT + 1 to 8
- Device Groups are toggled with CTRL + SHIFT + 1 to 8
[h2]Optimizations:[/h2]
- Adding Occlusion Culling to structure decoration blocks & NPC's in rooms the player cannot see when in a POI & optimisations to AI multithreading have been worked on
With both of the above optimisations available as of this build you should see an FPS boost in POI’s.
Note: Activating godmode disables the culling so the FPS will go down to how it used to be until godmode is disabled when at a POI.

- Added new animations for Jumping, running & sprinting, falling & crouch walking with a weapon equipped (improved)
