Hello, I've released another small update in the publicbeta branch. This contains some fixes and support for mods, and translator support. Also a slight tweak to combat; previously if you kept swinging your melee weapon at a zombie without being close enough to engage, they would back off, and you could in theory keep doing that forever - now after a few seconds of that they'll just attack no matter what.
Fix for crash in SIS Extended: Adaptive Combat
Fix for Out Of Sync errors in multiplayer if one player has previously run SIS Ageing without restarting the game since, and the other hasn't
Fixes for some errors in speech parameters, and added support for a female version of the word 'someone'.
Fix for exploit where you could keep swinging your melee weapon at a zombie forever without them attacking, as they waited for you to stop swinging
Possible fix for NPCs being slow to react to stuff on Huge maps using SIS Map Settings mod due to pathfinder queue getting backed up
Changed IsAnyoneInConversationWith condition to check all members of the community if you specify one (for modders)
Updated Japanese translation
Like the last patch I haven't updated the main branch or XBox as I want to give it a bit more time to settle.
What's this publicbeta thing?
v276 will be in the "publicbeta" branch on Steam for a while, before pushing it to the main game and to XBox. If you want to try the latest features as they come out (and help test them!) it's a good idea to start using this branch. But keep in mind:
Because it's the bleeding edge it could be less stable
If you want to be able to play online co-op with someone you'll need to be on the same version as them
If you go back from the "publicbeta" branch to the main branch you may not be able to load savegames created on "publicbeta".
To use publicbeta, just right-click on Survivalist: Invisible Strain in your Steam library and go to Properties, then Betas and in the drop-down select "publicbeta".
