Remote Charge Detonators[/h2]

One of the most important gadgets in a guards arsenal is the remote charge, but what use is an explosive without a detonator? These nifty new detonators feature four LED lights that keep track of how many explosives you have placed, and let you know when they're ready to go!
[h2]Bush Camouflage[/h2]
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
The Bush Camouflage is a new gadget in Intruder that helps players who prefer to sneak their way around an enemy or lie in wait for an ambush. Custom made from native fauna the Bush Camouflage is ideal for sneaking through garden, even in broad daylight! While it only takes up a single gadget slot, it is a full body suit and thus makes it impossible to use a weapon while you are concealed. No need to worry though, your wit can be your greatest weapon! Take advantage of your elusiveness and gather intel on the enemy, avoid enemy encounters, or lie in wait waiting to pounce on an unaware enemy!

• A "Refresh" button has been added to the server browser screen.
  
• "FPS Jumping" has been patched out. Players are no longer able to take to the skies and reign terror from above.
  
• The Mirror Camera cannot be phased through objects anymore. This means you cant see an enemy through a wall, and they can't see you either.
  
• Players are no longer able to duplicate items while recovering from a large fall. Don't worry, there are still plenty of red dots to go around.
  
• Weapon attachments can be dropped directly from the weapon without causing issues when trying to pick up the same attachment next round. Remember, sharing is caring!
  
• Many more minor changes that would be boring to read, instead check out this sick play!

While the Bush Camouflage is only available for pickup on official maps, it should be coming to the Map Maker shortly.

Greetings agents,
The guards have been up to no good. It seems they have some new 3D artists working with them and it looks like they're developing a new pistol for their arsenal. I have downloaded their models and have attached a demo so you know what's to come.

They know I'm here so I can only send you that small bit of information. Along with the models they have some blueprints here. Let's see,it looks like the new pistol is called the.....

[h3]Hello everyone and welcome to Intruder update build number 1429![/h3]
This update has been a huge undertaking with almost 100(!) test builds before this final release between 1337 to this. In it we have the completely new Inventory and in-game menus and UI, along with a bunch of changes under the hood!
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h2]
New Inventory System![/h2]

• The puzzle grid has been replaced by a robust slot system. Carry two large items, one holster item, and 12 small pack items.
  
• Ammo is now a separate item in your inventory allowing you to drop and share.
  
• Use drop button or right click to drop.
  
• Attachments like the red dot are now removable (removable pistol suppressor coming soon).
  
• Dropped weapons will now come with their attachments.
  
• Auto-attach options
  
• Rebind items by clicking and pressing the slot/number key of your choice
  
• Saucy descriptions for each item oooo (Thx Ry & Matt).
  
• Drop item, pick up item, and defuse item sound effects added.
  
• Ammo pickups added to official maps since weapons and ammo are completely separate items now. (You cannot pick up a gun only with extra ammunition).
  

[h2]New in-game menus and UI![/h2]

• Binoculars HUD revamp.
• Objective menu with blue print maps of different floors and icon legend. Will still work with old map maker maps 4-panel style objective images.
• Spectator view revamp with responsive control hints.
• New player team menu and player info panels with controls and options

[h2]Behind-the-Scenes Updates[/h2]

• All new item code system under the hood should allow for
• much* faster new item/gadget/weapon creation and the ability to easily modify projectiles and equipment sets via Intruder Map Maker in the near future!
  
• Revamped collision, projectile, and damage systems for better consistency and easier updates.
  

• Explosive damage can now affect you even when ragdolled.
  
• Fly cam in spectator is now bound to both the Radio button bind and F1. (Sorry people who used 'F' for something else before!)

• You can pick up multiple attachments now to share with friends.
  
• Can see binoculars and note HUD even when regular HUD is hidden now.

• Binoculars look through wall glitch fixed.
  
• Scrollwheel will no longer open doors when looking through binoculars.
  
• Scrollwheel scroll can no longer be bound to other keys.

Changes will have to be made to the Intruder Map Maker in the near future to accommodate the new systems. This means a new Equipment Manager, new Objective Tab Settings manager, etc.

Thank you so much to everyone who help test and find bugs in this update. It has been a huge one but we are really happy with the results and what it means for the future of the game. Expect some new items soon!

As usual drop into our Discord server at https://superbossgames.com/chat for more about the updates and development. See you there!

Intruder agents, this is agent Ryguytheguy transmitting a message from the Mountainside transmission tower.

After hacking the computers of the Cliffside facility I was able to grab some top secret info regarding a future update to the game menu and inventory system! See below for the information and a mission briefing on what you can do to help.


I found quite a few top secret files that I have uploaded here, make sure no guards are watching and take a peek.

agent_info.sbg - It looks like the guards have made a system to keep track of agents in the field. They have the ability to view the online profile, reputation, and username of any agent at their location. They can also take actions to kick and report dishonorable agents.


team_select.sbg - The team selection tab is a way for agents to see who is playing and choose a team before deploying on a mission. Clicking the (i) icon will bring you to the agent info tab I previously revealed so you can learn about who you're with and who you're up against.


team_info.sbg - The team tab is similar to the selection tab but can be accessed while in the field. You can see the current match history with the score keeper in the bottom right corner.


objective.sbg - The guards have outdone themselves this time and added map functionality to the objective menu. Now rookie agents can get right into the battle with access to callouts, room layouts, and objective locations.



A new inventory system is being developed right under our noses! The guards seem to have taken inspiration from Resident Evil games to develop a more robust system.

inventory_system.sbg - This new way to hold items may prove beneficial for future missions.

The inventory system has changed from a grid based inventory to a slot system. There are four different types of slots. Front and back item slots can hold a large weapon/tool, the holster slot can hold a pistol, and packs are slots designated for smaller tools and gadgets. The list of items and their corresponding slots can be found below.

• SMG - Front/Back
  
• Sniper - Front/Back
  
• Shield - Front/Back
  
• Beanbag Shotgun - Front/Back
  
• Pistol - Holster
  
• Concussion Grenade - Pack
  
• Remote Charges - Pack
  
• Smoke Grenades - Pack
  
• CS Gas Grenades - Pack
  
• Mirror Camera - Pack
  
• Laser Sensors - Pack
  
• Lock Pick - Pack
  
• Cardboard Decoy - Pack
  
• Red Dot - Pack or Front/Back if SMG is equipped
  

I am sending this critical intelligence to HQ, but have been requested to run it by our top agents to see how we can adopt these new systems and make them optimal for use in the field. Your input is important, mission success is dependent on your success, so help us help you. We want to know if this system can be better tailored for your needs. Should there be more inventory slots, where should ammo be held, or is any part of the interface confusing? Leave feedback below and I'll make sure your input is sent to the right place so the team can get these updates to you for your future missions. If you have more to discuss drop in to our secure channel where you can talk directly to HQ, gather teammates for a mission, share mission reports, and more.

Ryguytheguy, over and out.

Hello Intruders and welcome to Update 1337!

Can anybody else say w00t w00t? This update finally features item and weapon dropping from your inventory!

Searching the map for weapons and item management are core to Intruder gameplay. Until now, you were restricted to finding items already placed on the map. With this update, that restriction is gone. You can clear up some inventory space as well as drop munitions for teammates.

Though it may seem small, item dropping could greatly affect the gameplay and meta strategies. A sniper can switch to a defender if they want to make room for a shield. Guards could lend more sensors and charges to their teammate in charge of rigging. An Intruder may be tempted to pick up a dropped SMG on Mountainside, only to find out its a trap.

In order to drop an item, open your inventory screen (keybind: I) and then drag any item out of the grid. It will be dropped on the ground below you. Note that the radio, mirror camera, and lock pick cannot be dropped. Currently, when you drop a weapon, its loaded and stashed ammo will be dropped with it.

This system will change slightly with coming developments. When we implement the new inventory system with the new in-game menu, we will probably separate weapon and ammo into different slots. What do you think though? Does it lend itself to new game modes? How would being able to loot any dead body affect play and how ammo could be distributed?

The following bugs were also fixed in 1337:

• Seeing shield through smoke fixed
  
• Seeing blood through smoke fixed
  
• Riverside shutters and sliding window frames don't allow charges or sensors to stick
  

As usual, the community will be chillin' at the official Discord https://superbossgames.com/chat . Hope to see you there and to see how these new features play out. Til next time!
