Brigand: Oaxaca News

Version 6.4 fixes a lot of little bugs in both Panama and the original, which you can see below. The BRIGAND - FORTRESS challenge map is now a little harder and gives you a Steam achievement for beating it. Also, there is now a world editor tutorial story I put into the free Community Pack DLC. It teaches the basics of the world editor and BSL scripting with notepad. In future updates, I'll improve the tutorial a bit and make the world editor a little easier to use.

Complete list of fixes below:

SOURCE CODE:
-Fixed bug from previous update causing unarmed teammates to not follow player.
-New script command: "newStory" (erases everything and teleports player to 1st map).
-Changed capitalization bullshit with player names; you can now capitalize whatever.

SCRIPTS:
-Fixed bug in which Apartment Key 3E didn't work.
-Fixed bug in which player and UB Elites couldn't repair the Enforcer 30-Cal rifle.
-(PANAMA) Fixed bug where Flying Squirrel wouldn't move to next map.
-(PANAMA) Fixed some voice acting commands and fixed some dialogue.
-(FORTRESS) Added Steam achievement for beating BRIGAND - FORTRESS, more baddie spawns, added 25 extra skill points.
-(MOD TUTOR) Added new scripts for BRIGAND - MOD TUTOR.gam in the COMMUNITY PACK.

RESOURCES:
-Updated Builder's Manual.

STORY FILES: (requires starting a new game)
-Moved item in McVannon's safe slightly to make it more accessible.
-(MOD TUTOR) Added new story file to the COMMUNITY PACK: BRIGAND - MOD TUTOR.gam.

So there was a bug a patch or two ago where your teammates will no longer follow you if they don't have a weapon equipped. I could easily fix that right now, but I'm in the middle of the desert with shitty computers that all consider my compiler an unknown threat. I mean ALL new computers consider compilers an unkown alien viral threat.

I'll be back home before New Years to fix this crap, but until then, make sure your teammates have a weapon equipped if you want them to follow. They will auto-teleport anyway so it's not a big deal gameplay-wise.

I can't access my email right now because I am in the desert on a different computer. So if any potential Youtubers are reading this, I can't reply until January 1st or 2nd. I sent a ton of emails to Youtubers recently.

As for future plans: the next patch will include a Community Pack story file that teaches people how to mod and make new stories, again not until next month. Also, more.

So, have a good holiday all you cunts.

Alright, new version. In the Panama DLC, I fixed some more bugs, included the Lady's Man ability in dialogue to make Charisma more useful, and allowed the player to sleep with a second LAAADY (for all the nerds).

As for the original story, the player can now use Gaozhong's bionic eyeball to get the Cyber Eye implant for free at a Bionics Terminal, plus some other stuff.

Complete list of changes:

SOURCE CODE:
-Toxic clouds will now lower target faction's respect.

SCRIPTS:
-Player can now install a bionic eye for free at a Bionics Terminal if he has it.
-Improved some dialogue and text in the original and PANAMA stories.
-(PANAMA) Fixed bug from last update where time between tome translations wouldn't decrease/reset (important).
-(PANAMA) Added some Lady's Man dialogue options to make the ability more useful.
-(PANAMA) You can now sleep with two different women in PANAMA.
-(PANAMA) Fixed bug with the Fire Loa objective.

RESOURCES:
-(COMMUNITY) New energy weapon and rocket sounds for the COMMUNITY PACK.

STORY FILES: (requires starting a new game)
-Fixed Cell Door C resistance in Topo Tracks.

Finally got the free Community Pack DLC working properly. It's an extra 500 mb, but it includes hi-resolution character skins for both the original and the Panama DLC (from Jack Mangano), as well as improved gun sound effects (from FedSmoker). I'm hoping there will eventually be some gameplay mods, challenge maps, or even a whole new story, but the world editor is not yet the user-friendliest. I'll work on the world editor in future patches.

There is also a new patch for the original and Panama. Here's a complete list of fixes:

SOURCE CODE:
-AI now randomly rotates if there's nothing else to do (making player's Stealth skill more important).
-Script command "StopAllSound" now stops every sound effect if there is no parameter.

SCRIPTS:
-UB Elite Inspectors now spawn in Pochutla and Loma Larga if UBNS takes over (and search player for contraband).
-(PANAMA) Voices now stop when new character talks during cut scenes.
-(PANAMA) Mabel now surrenders in DAM script as well as AI script.

RESOURCES:
-Fixed hi-res character textures and gun sound effects for Community Content DLC.
