Howdy folks!

Have the first build of a new Update cycle for y'all this week! As I showed in last week's devlog, Update 118 is all about REFLEX SIGHTS. We're wholesale replacing the systems for them in game. New shaders, new reticle rendering, new reticles, new options, new sights. About 50% of the game's Reflex sight models are getting a replacement/facelift. We're adding at least a half dozen entirely new ones. And we've just added a new attachment type: Pistol RMRs.

Please note that the last have been something I've avoided in the past, because they're expensive (complex collision added to a moving part of the gun). I've tried to keep our RMRs super simple, but they have the equivalent perf hit of several attachments in practice. Just to be aware of if you run into issues putting eleventy bajillion things on your guns.

Added with these are some global options for color override, so if you have a visual preference or impairment that makes certain hues difficult to see, you can now (in the Optics & NV section of the Options Panel), override the reticle color of all reflex sights in the game. Hope this helps!

As always, if you run into bugs or have feedback, I'd always love to see them in the bug reports section of our Steam Forum or Discord!

Have a WONDERFUL weekend!

Howdy folks!

I've got a small patch for y'all this week. (Sorry for the large download, I had to change files in a whole bunch of bundles in the game). This week's work was mainly about doing a bunch of tuneups, fixing assorted bugs, and tweaking some things in advance of a Take & Hold tournament being run by the WONDERFUL First2Wurst Community.

As always, if you run into any issues with the update, make sure to post in our Bug Reports section!

Cheers,
Anton

[h2]Full Changelog - Update 117 - Patch 2[/h2]
[h3]Additions[/h3]

• Added New Magazine: Mac 11 72rnd Drum
  

[h3]Changes:[/h3]

• Major Balance Change: Kinetic Damage hits of 100 and fewer points are now discarded. In a sense these now bounce off your casing without concern. This is partially to prevent folks losing 1-hit bonuses from trivial energy ricochets that can sometimes happen, as well as super-low velocity melee weapon collisions when items are falling off a Sosig in a chaotic situation. Feedback is welcomed from the T&H tourney community on this change.
  
• All Sosig Grenades have been updated to the more modern explosion system, damage should now no longer occur through
  
• Mac11 Ripcord now can fire an entire drum on a single pull
  
• Mac11 Ripcord now only baaaarely retracts when the player is impacted by infinite ammo (yup)
  

[h3]Fixes:[/h3]

• Fixed misc issues with Mac 11 Ripcord
  
• [T&H] RPC7615 can no longer appear in pool choices it shouldn’t have (metadata error)
  
• Fixed Mk23 safety behavior (no longer auto-decocks)
  
• Fixed incorrect 1873 itemspawner image
  
• Fixed physics geometry on Ferryman Magazine to allow it to actually be reloaded
  
• Fixed Quickbelt pose for Quackenbush Rifle
  
• Fixed Civilian ARs not having proper Picatinny flag set for T&H spawning
  
• Fixed Tactical Super Shorty Shotgun not having proper Picatinny flag set for T&H spawning
  
• Fixed New Item Manifest to correctly contain Sterling Bullpup Mockup
  
• Fixed fire selector trigger volume on BP15 so it works on both sides of the rifle
  
• Fixed Sling Swivel behavior (broken pivot) on the EM-5

HOWDY FOLKS,

It's that special time of the year, once again, April Fools' Day, and what would that day be without some UTTERLY CURSED for H3. It's almost Meatmas 2 for us in fact. I have for y'all today a bunch of utterly cursed Bullpupped AND Unbullpupped firearms for y'all. A mixture of model kitbashes and totally original models for you.

In addition to that, we've implemented a bunch of community fixes related to serialization (gun cases) as well as making the process of loading vault files a bit more forgiving for modders.

While the Qualification Range scene is in the update, please note that it's still Work in Progress! I still have work to do on it, but wanted to go main branch with today's update so everyone could experience the Holiday nonsense :-) I'll have more info next week on what we're doing next!

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL day of Foolery.

Peace,
Anton

REMEMBER! IF YOU ARE RUNNING MODDED AND HAVE INCOMPATIBILITIES WITH THIS VERSION, YOU CAN SET YOUR INSTALL TO U116 (or older) IN THE BETAS TAB UNDER PROPERTIES IN STEAM. We keep fully compatible versions available going back to U110.

[h3]Changes:[/h3]

[h3]Fixes:[/h3]

• Fixed chamber positions on Doubledown Derringer

• Fixed some oddities with serialization order
  

[h3]Modding Notes:[/h3]

• Implemented a Community fix designed to -try- to make vault files load even when the content saved in them is no longer found. NOTE that this fix necessarily scrambles indices when objects/elements are removed, and thus can/will bork containers and attachments. User beware.

Howdy folks!

At long last we have another Experimental Build for the Update 117 cycle. This Update introduces a new (WIP) scene called the Qualification Range. This Sandbox scene differs from most of H3's other Sandbox scenes in that there are ambient Sosigs that have a multi-state behavior scheme. The first behaviors we've gotten working are a loop between grabbing a lane to shoot at, and returning to an Ammo station when they run out of ammo. The plan is to add a few more to these to create a more organic and lively range simulation.

Beyond that, this update includes a bunch of enhancement to the Destructible door system designed to generalize their behavior. Patrols spawned in the Grillhouse scene drop keys for the doors, the reset buttons are back, and a bunch of things are moving into place that will allow modders to start adding Destructible door to their maps (starting next week).

Anywho, if you'd like to see what else has changed check out the devlog above. As always, leave a bug report in the bug reports section of the forum or discord if you run into issues!

Have a wonderful weekend!
