H3VR Early Access Update 94 is Complete! - Tacticool 2020
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Howdy Folks!
Here we are, Update 94. The TACTICOOL update for the year (and really also the Sniper update as well). This update cycle was originally going to be about cleaning up Reflex sights and dropping a few toys in, and got… a little out of hand? It’s good though, as the whole process ended up dragging me into dealing with some systems that have NEEDED love for a long time, and I’ve been avoiding. This whole year continues to be about polishing the core and ensuring system integrity for future content, so… mission accomplished I guess :-P
As a refresher, I figured I’d summarize all the BIG changes in this update for those you lookin for a TLDR:
[h3]Major Optics System Improvements[/h3]
[h3]Increased Ballistics Simulation Complexity[/h3]
[h3]New Hover Bench System[/h3]
[h3]New Spectator/Streamer Camera System[/h3]
[h3]37!!! New Attachments: New suppressors, foregrips, barrel extenders, reflex sights, scopes, and more[/h3]
Please note that the changelog below is ONLY for the things added in this final build for Update 94, and does not include all the things that were added in Alphas 1-3, which were also quite extensive. If you haven’t been playing the game on the Alpha Branch, I recommend you at least skim that changelog as well, just so there are no surprises for ya.
Also, as a reminder any bugs should always be posted in the Bug Reports section of the Steam Forum here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/450540/discussions/1/ I keep having folks email me, post to the subreddit, or use our contact form, etc. etc., and it just makes it harder to keep track of everything, so if you could pleeeease keep them to that forum I would be deeply appreciative.
Hope y'all have a great weekend!
Peace,
Anton

Howdy Folks!
Here we are, Update 94. The TACTICOOL update for the year (and really also the Sniper update as well).

It’s good though, as the whole process ended up dragging me into dealing with some systems that have NEEDED love for a long time, and I’ve been avoiding. This whole year continues to be about polishing the core and ensuring system integrity for future content, so… mission accomplished I guess :-P
As a refresher, I figured I’d summarize all the BIG changes in this update for those you lookin for a TLDR:
[h3]Major Optics System Improvements[/h3]
- Made reticle behavior with respect to magnification amount more realistic
- Added new Scope Settings Menu allowing for Distance Zeroing, and manual Elevation and Windage offset in MOAs.
- Scope zeroing is actually based upon pre-computed cartridge parameters (for a weapon of common barrel length)
- All Scope settings are now saved in the vault.
- Reflex and Red Dot reticle visibility improved
- Interactive Ladder Sights on 33! Firearms were given a new UI, and were painstakingly calibrated to real world values
[h3]Increased Ballistics Simulation Complexity[/h3]
- Added (fairly accurate to RL) mechanical spread inaccuracy to all firearms.
- Added point of aim shift from muzzle attachments, which all have their own
- Barrel length now properly effects projectile velocity
- Projectile travel distance increased and is now a scene-local setting
[h3]New Hover Bench System[/h3]
- A Spawnable Utility that can freeze a fireable gun in space, allowing for both precision scope zeroing, and just long range shooting that would otherwise be impossible due to VR tracking precision.
[h3]New Spectator/Streamer Camera System[/h3]
- Includes options for improved and smoother player view, 3rd person camera, held object camera and Sosig View
- Tons of options (and more in the future if folks seem to use this system a lot)
[h3]37!!! New Attachments: New suppressors, foregrips, barrel extenders, reflex sights, scopes, and more[/h3]
