Here's a patch for EA30 with bugfixes and a couple of fun extra additions to the game:
Game improvements:
- Tank and APC towers will now pop off when destroyed
- Tank tracks are deactivated when destroyed
- Improved stuck detection for AI cars and boats, this should make them react quicker to getting stuck, and be able to resolve the situation more reliably
- The player can now walk slowly while getting up from ragdoll
- Minor improvements to third person camera while ragdolling
- Generated new high quality lightmaps on all scenes with lightmaps
- Improvements to bot boat piloting, especially how they handle a top speed value. Boat patrols on spec ops should no longer be going full speed everywhere and crashing into everything
- Reduced saturation of particle systems with ambient color component, this makes particles such as the smoke grenade appear in more realistic colors in scenes with highly saturated ambient lighting conditions.
- Added best guess shader functionality to shader reloading on mac and linux. If a shader isn't able to be resolved due to the modder using custom shaders that are not included by the game, the game now attempts a best guess at replacing that shader with a built in one. This is based on very limited information so don't expect this to look great, but it should replace all pink materials with something halfway decent.
Bugfixes:
- Fixed a bug where bots would sometimes get stuck in a ragdolled state
- Fixed a visual bug where actors would sometimes hover slightly above the ground when getting up from a ragdolled state.
- Fixed a bug where a phantom player with a parachute would appear in spectator mode
- Fixed a bug with projector component whitelisting, it should now be whitelisted and load correctly
- Fixed a bug where destructible splash damage would show a hitmarker even though the damage dealt was 0
- Fixed a bug where turrets that had been destroyed and repaired would not be valid target for missile lock on
- Fixed a bug where the player character controller would be enabled when dying inside a vehicle
- Fixed a bug with squad order point resolving which would generate errors in spec ops mode
Ravenscript/Trigger updates:
- Fixed misspelling in Player.nightVisionEnabled - the misspelled verison will continue to work so no need to edit old scripts.
- Made Player.nightVisionEnabled writable
- Added keybinds support to TriggerOnKey component
Patch 2 - December 6
- Fixed an issue where shaders would sometimes incorrectly be replaced on windows machines. This would sometimes break modded dual render scopes and similar effects.
