Early Access Feature Update #9.7 - 'Tis But A Scratch

Changelog:

• [Gore]

• Bullet holes, slash wounds and blunt trauma now have gore textures in addition to blood

• Wounds are now dynamic and not decal based

• Blood on bodies and the environment can receive more details (no longer completely bloody or not bloody at all but has blending instead)

• Gore and blood textures don't disappear from body parts after dismembering

• Improved blood puffs (now also receives lighting)

• Custom blood color is now applied to gore and particles as well

• Slashing now causes directional blood sprays

• Improved blood textures to take advantage of the more detailed shaders

  [Features]

• Improved and more dynamic slashing (feels more impactful and controlled)

  [Changes]

• Changing blood color is now reflected in real time (no need to reload the level)

• Changed the way slashing damage is calculated (now depends on the length, strength and velocity of the slash)

  [Weapons]

• Added a Scimitar

• Added a Naginata

  [Performance]

• Improved blood painting performance

• Improved performance of firearms that aren't currently active in the scene

• Removed the ability of dismembered body parts to receive new blood stains which improves dismemberment performance and reduces VRAM usage

  [Fixes]

• Fixed force grabbing disabling hands from time to time

• Fixed disabling armor in sandbox mode

• Fixed modded bolt-actions

• Fixed impact sounds for modded weapons, props, and maps

• Fixed dismembered hands with melee weapons continuing to swing (fly) at you

• Objects that don't have an impact sound tag applied should now rely on fallback tags (hopefully no more silent impacts)

  [Hotfixes]

• Fixed pointy zombies

• Fixed prop and map loading
