Heli Pickups, Aim Assist, and Homing Missiles
2023 06 19
This month's batch of updates made last weekend's play tests near perfection! Even with people who've never played before, the fun just flows!
- fixed gray death glitch from last update cause i screw stuff up when i'm short on time
- fixed new homing missiles from going around in circles on near misses and player dodges
- replaced radar arrows with a sharper model to better match other UI elements on screen
2023 06 14
- added text to show which weapon currently using when heli or pred
- adjusted aim assist range to better snap to players rushing close
- changed aim assist to not engage through smoke grenades or trees
- changed laser dots to update every frame (tell me if your PC lags)
- fixed hit source direction arrows sometimes staying on past death
- fixed metal cutouts in TP mode leaning back flat when above them
- fixed nametag on chest not cloaking with the rest of predator parts
-- added Helz Only mode back with secondary aim to fire homing missiles
-- removed quarter swaps and changed Botz & Helz mode to heli pickups
2023 06 07
- added script to new sky textures to animate clouds
- changed spawning in to maps autom face the center
- fixed 3 player mode background for new sky domes
-- added a snap aim assist mechanic for all weapons
2023 05 26
- adjusted inactivity arrows to fade each second of radar to differentiate radar pings from bullet hits
- changed sky dome geometry with new sky textures and adjusted the density of fog for better visibility
2023 05 15
- adjusted music system to fade out a little slower into the applause at round ends
- changed how third person cameras spawn in to the map to better convey the mechanics of it
- changed inactivity arrows to stay on the entire time between nearest player pings
- changed third person test cameras to switch player view direction by whether they're aiming or not
-- added a 4th graphics tier ("ass") for those who like to play with 8x AA but in super low resolution to give it that late 90s look. now you can use the 3rd tier ("butter") for 4K displays where AA isn't needed as much to keep everyone's screens pixel sharp, or, max it out with "ass" in 4K.
-- increased controller dead zones on the launcher's input tab for people who don't understand what controller drift is
