Spectator Mode & Gunplay Update - REFS Update week 08 2021

Hello dear Regain Earth Testers, Community & Pioneers,

Last days I released regular updates for Regain Earth: First Strike and here I want to give an overview about all changes.

Thank you!

As always and first, I would like to thank our great Testers & Discord Community & TikTok Community very much for giving me feedback about REFS and great new ideas. That's what drives the game's development!
Thanks a lot!!!

Updates!

New main features:

• Gunplay: Implemented new Shooting Algorithm. Shot now is not coming from the camera center, but from the weapon muzzle. Also added a Laser Dot you can see when you use zoomed aiming and be close to a wall.
• Spectator Mode when player character gets filled

New Enemy & Weapon types & AI updates:

• Mech AI update. It's not perfect. Perfect AI is hard and need weeks, but I hope it's much better now. When the mech is behind the square container, it's very hard for him to hit you. This not about AI, it's simply because the MG of the mech is not able to hit you. Mech needs to fly or jump abilities later. But for now, the mech movement at the square container looks not so buggy anymore and the Mech is not running against the container all the time.
• In Discord you can vote for more Mech AI Updates.

Gameplay & Feature Updates & Score Handling:

• Big improved and less network bandwidth needed solution to replicate Aiming pitch (player mate aim up down)
• To better see if you hit a wall you are close to or not, a laser dot pointer for all "non-bolt, non shot-guns" weapons is implemented. Laser dot is not for aiming purpose, it's just to show you if shots go into the wall in front of you or not.

UI & Controls & Sounds:

• Nothing new this time.

General Bugfixes & Performance improvements:

• Fixed problem when having e.g a pole between camera and player, so shots do not hit the pole anymore.
• Fixed that player can not shoot anymore when player get killed, by hold down shoot button after death
• Fixed Crash on "Set current round to last round" Admin Cheat Menu
• Fixed Admin Menu random Weapon drop was not working fine
• Fixed Tooltips on mouse hover in Admin Cheat Menu
• Minor bugfixes

What's next?
