Dystopia 'beta' branch now available

Hello everyone, I just created a "beta" branch for Dystopia which is free for anyone to access to check out upcoming Dys content/changes.

Currently it just has new .dll's with some minor changes if anyone wants to test them (no linux server built yet).

Changes on the beta branch currently are:

  • Players don't soft-collide while airborn
  • Cortex no longer looks for breakables when deciding to explode
  • Heavies can no longer horizontal legboost jump
  • Shotgun damage per shell reverted to 1.3 values (7 pellets per shell, 8 damage per pellet)
  • Minigun changes:
    • Can now switch weapons even while spinning
    • Now fires 6 bullets that deal 5 damage each (previously was 3 bullets, 12 damage each)
    • Spread increased by 50%
    • Wind up time reduced from 1.0 to 0.75
    • Max speed while spinning reduced from 128 to 80 (this also affects ability to turn while hopping)
    • Rate of fire penalty for firing while in the air increased by 25%

To opt into the beta, right cilck on Dystopia in your steam library and click on the "BETAS" tab, and then select "Beta" from the drop-down list. The game should then automatically download the necessary files to update to the beta branch. To return to default live build, select the "NONE" option from the drop down.
