Coming back to you right from the wasteland with a TON of bigger & smaller fixes and improvements in this May update!
Here are some highlights:
- Added Incapacitation mechanic with an “Instant Death” server setting. When turned off, units will become incapacitated instead of dying immediately and can be revived by healing. By default, Instant Death is turned ON on PvP, and turned OFF on PvE.
- If a unit runs into a sneaking enemy, both will fall on their butts and the sneaking unit(s) will lose sneak.
- Added even more environment assets
- Re-worked pathfinding to improve overall stability & reduce the ammount of times characters get stuck in a wall & similar problems. Also baking a navmesh in the Map Editor is no longer required, a navmesh will be generated at map load automatically.
Important note for mappers: since the updated pathfinding system is not identic with the old one, we advise you to check the paths on your maps (especially in tighter spots) with the updated system.
- Updated turrets: they no longer rotate when idle (better performance), and they now have a limited firing angle (more tactical gameplay).
