Howdy Everyone!

Hope y'all are having a pleasant Holiday (or just an all round wonderful Tuesday). We decided to do a little goofy update this year to fix a GREIVOUS error in the game, which was the lack of the ability to grill tiny wieners on the grill in game and eat them so.... there ya go. *snort* Available in the Arizona Range.

Peace,
Anton

Cheers,
Anton

Howdy All!

It's been a while since we did a build for the game, as we've been heads-down busy building new levels for the game. This project has been going WONDERFULLY, and this week we've decided to pop our first technical test onto the Alpha branch, in a scene called 'Institution Preview'.

This scene is purely level geo, and represents the structural assets for about 1/5th of the coming Take & Hold level. We're doing this test to identify problems in lighting approach, collision, performance and navmesh early, so they can inform the process in building the level proper.

PLEASE NOTE, this level is temporary, and will be regularly changing as we swap in different assets to test, try fixes, and play around. The plan is to first launch a Take & Hold level with this content, which we're currently aiming to do in June, and then in late summer/early fall release a set of sandbox levels that use the same assets but in different smaller configurations.

If you decide to check it out, please share any issues you run into the bug reports section. We deeply appreciate it!

Hope you all have yourselves a wonderful weekend, and we'll have more for you soon.

-Anton

[h3]Changes:[/h3]

• Replaced Cartridge Models on 9x39mm, 5.45x39mm, 7.62x39mm, and 7.62x54mmR
  
• Rebalanced Object Appearance in the Object Spawner. Families now have presence within an object table equal to the Square root of the total number of weapons in that family. Thus, for example, instead of one MP5 family weapon appearing in a pool, 4 will due to there being 16 in the family.
  

[h3]Fixes:[/h3]

Howdy everyone!

Just a small experimental build this week. API changes for modders, Item Spawner migration for a bunch of scenes so things can be tested. Hope y'all have a pleasant weekend!

Peace,
Anton


[h3]TO PLAY THE NEW BUILD FOLLOW THESE STEPS:[/h3]

• Select Experimental!
  

[h2]Full Changelog - Update 110 - Experimental 2[/h2]
[h3]Additions:[/h3]

• Added Internal Script For Modders: UniversalMagGrabTrigger (allows for magazine removal on all weapon types, including belt box support)
  
• Added Internal Script For Modders: FVRFireArmTopCoverAdvanced (allows for creation of a Top Cover for belted gun that can rotated arbitrary amounts on arbitrary axes)
  
• Added Internal Option For Modders: “AutoMountsBeltOnAttach” on FVRFirearmMagazine (allows for belts to autoattach when magazine is mounted, allowing for implementing exotic fictional weapons. ‘CanBeTornOut’ can be used to tear belt boxes back out without unmounting belt. This might require further testing)
  
• Added Internal Option For Modders: “Engagement Delay” on ClosedBoltWeapon, OpenBoltReceiver and Handgun scripts (allows for any firing mode to have an engagement delay after the trigger is pulled before the trigger is able to be pulled again. Useful for balancing fictional weapons, simulating incredibly chunky trigger reset mechanisms, or making something terrible for funsies)
  
• Added Internal Option For Modders: “SuppressCaselessDeletion” on FVRFirearmChamber (allows for weapons that use caseless rounds to actually eject them without auto-destroying the round. This behavior is necessary due to legacy stupid decisions Anton made that I’m sure made sense to him 5 years ago but it’s been too long/too many hot dogs since them to even remember why this all worked this way in the first place)
  
• Added Internal Option For Modders (and my future work): Open Bolt Receivers can now have traditional burst fire
  

[h3]Changes:[/h3]

• Modern Item Spawner Installed in Cappocolosseum, Winter Wasteland, Meat Grinder, Arcade Proto, Meat Fortress
  
• Made Derringer directional inputs on touchpad more forgiving to make them easier to actuate on Index controllers
  

[h3]Fixes:[/h3]

• Fixed Medigun being missing from Modern Item Spawner.
  
• Fixed assorted spawning bugs in Return of the Rotwieners
  
• Fixed missing Metadata for .410 cartridges that was preventing them from being saved
  
• Fixed pivot and scaling issues on .38 Special, .45 Long Colt and 10.6x25mm rounds
  
• Fixed mag palming to take into account whether a magazine is dropinloadable
