Howdy Folks!

We’ve got another ‘nuts and bolts’ kind of update for you folks this week. I’ve had more time to really play around with the recent locomotion additions on a bunch of platforms, tune things as needed, fix some oversights. We’re thankfully now at the stage where things have ‘stabilized’ again after the mess that’s always made integrating new platform logic branches and locomotion options. It’s funny, I always get SUPER self conscious about doing these types of updates (where there’s no really sexy new toy, just a lot of ‘functional’ changes. They’re very much neccesary though.
Rift S users, I’m deeply sorry it took us this long to get you controller models. Some new internal branching was needed to differentiate ‘controller display mode’ and ‘controller functional mode’, and it wasn’t ‘safe’ to do that until now, to make sure I didn’t break anything in the process with that change.
As for everyone who told me in the past ‘yo the lever action controls are whack, you should do something about it’, sooooorry it took me so long to get around to what should have been an obvious change in retrospect. To summarize the changes: The trigger on the forward hand no longer has to be held to work the action, however, the action now locks closed after the hammer is cocked. This should prevent moments where you work the action, it closes, and then _slightly_ opens before firing due to controller rotation. You can still continue to freely work the action by pressing the trigger (in the old style) if you need to empty the firearm without firing however.
As for everything else, the movement options, the throwing changes, please let me know if you folks run into any issues with it! Most of it is pure-code change, so pushing a hotfix in the event I broke something small isn’t too bad :-)
Anywho, hope y’all have a wonderful weekend!
Cheers,
Anton
