Howdy folks!

Have another quick Alpha for you this week. Isn't a major one but has a couple quick bug fixes and tweaks we wanted to get out without delay.

[h2]Full Changelog - Update 100 - Alpha 5[/h2]
[h3]Additions:[/h3]

• Added New PSG1 with 5, 10 and 20 round magazines
  

[h3]Changes:[/h3]

• [ItemSpawner] Changed Tag Sorting Algorithm to be ‘OR’ within a category, and ‘AND’ when using multiple categories. This seems to be the most commonly expected behavior from folks interfacing with other tag based systems for this size of item library.
  
• [ItemSpawner] Selected Tag Display Tweaked
  
• [Take & Hold] Changed Flaccid Snake Equipment pool item from G3SG1 to PSG1
  

[h3]Fixes:[/h3]

• Fixed AK-style Physical Mag tearing causing that magazine to become palmed
  
• Metadata fixed on a number of objects
  
• Made it so trigger no longer force-opens breach of lever action firearms when long-gun stabilization requires it

Howdy Folks!

Hope you’re all doing well! This alpha cycle continues to… truck along slowly. The new Item Spawner (and accompanying metadata / database changes) have taken longer to work out than I had originally anticipated. A tool of this complexity is basically like writing an extra piece of software inside another piece of software, in this case complicated by over 5 years of prior decisions and gotchas and technical debt.

If you jump into the Indoor Range in this update, one the side wall to the left you will see a partially functional version of the in-progress Item Spawner. IT DOES NOT YET WORK. It is in there primarily so I can gather some data about legibility, button size and other UX concerns from a range of hardware, before some final decisions are made. It is also there to provide a testing scaffold for the modding community, so they can start adding some of the requisite new tags in to their own asset’s metadata to be ‘seen’ by this new spawner correctly, to make this as smooth of a transition process as possible.

In the mean time, as always, I hope y’all enjoy the NEW SHINY TOYS that are totally NOT just a distraction to keep you occupied while I do more soul-crushing UI work *cough*. I hope you enjoy this beautiful new set. I am certainly a fan, and I know those of you who enjoy modern tactical russian kit will be a fan as well.

Hope y’all enjoy and have a WONDERFUL weekend.

Peace,
All Of Us Here at RUST LTD.
