Now there are 3 additional modes for the plasma weapon: "Plasma Shotgun", "Hyper Rapid Fire", and "Lightning Rifle". The original two plasma weapon modes are "Basic High DPA" and "Rapid Fire". The player can choose which two modes to use (with left and right clicking) by opening the weapon mode window by pressing F7. A library for all weapon modes can be found in Danville.
One of our community members configured a setup to play the game with an Xbox controller! To help facilitate this, we have made it so the escape and grave (tilde) keys can be rebound. Also, it is no longer true that the escape key must be bound to to the PACKAGE_OPEN_MAIN_MENU action. Similarly the grave (tilde) key no longer needs to be bound to the action PACKAGE_OPEN_CONSOLE. Also, we made it so more in game menus can be used with only the up and down arrow keys and the enter key.
Capped the player's experience level at 500. Also, the bonus upgrades from level 200 to 500 are less strong (more comparable to the bonus upgrades from levels 0 to 200).
Made the I2 area more friendly by adding more places to hide and more stores.
The primary laser must now hit an enemy in order for the player to get the recharge shield effect.
Now pressing C causes the laser primary to fire, in the same way that pressing R causes the railgun secondary to fire.
Short and long markers can no longer be removed by hitting them with plasma.
