[h2]SDNL: New Game World[/h2]
Johanna finished working on "Frostbite", there's still some additional prop clutter to add, but the map is basically finished. She also started working on an art pass for "Meadows".
joshua continued working on the new animation rig, as well as some guns.
Lifeless continued working on "Hinderance".
macdguy continued working on the HUD and gameplay loop. He also fixed a bunch of small issues with sliding and sprinting, worked on an iron-sight system, and tweaked some melee gameplay.
Nuclearxpotato continued working on a new map, Disposal, which is based off the Virus map, Corrosion.
Wheezwer finished working on the graffiti, and worked on some prop art for "Frostbite".
[h3]SDNL: HUD and Weapon Select UI WIP[/h3]
[h2]Miscellany[/h2]
Caboose700 fixed some bugs with our internal server browser API.
macdguy worked on re-working the server listing UI to take advantage of our internal server browser (not using Steam's), while also giving it a new coat of paint. He also changed how the "Hide/Unhide" feature in Condo I/O works. Items will now no longer override the current "No Collide" setting, and will block/unblock the "use trace", allowing players to hide buttons behind walls, and then toggle the walls of with I/O to allow use of the button.
Nuclearxpotato worked on some condo items.
