Welcome everyone again!

Today I release hotfix 5 for V0.2.1P6 and we will see what has changed, fixed, removed, and more

Survival

  • The time of day system gets an overhaul, in-game days (00:00 to 23:59) now last 28 minutes, they look way better and blend nicely

  • Redid the "Blizzard" and "Fog" weather

  • Temporarily removed the "Rain" and "Thunderstorm" weather and will be added back, and will look better

  • Changed the death view to make it slightly more dramatic, polished and smoother

  • "Steamed Hams" and "Sharing is caring" achievements are now earnt if you're alive and are near the item, if you're 10m+ you won't get the achievement

  • Changed up some item textures and models to be more up to date

  • Spectating someone in the Bunker will now show up proper effect

  • Some commie block's doors being able to clip through as they did not have collisions

  • Slight changes to inventory (next update will redo the stats icons)

Bug fixes

  • Ladder in Survival map not existing at "Alex Factory" meaning you could slip off and couldn't go up

  • Voting to custom level editor maps refreshing with some delay which would lead to you having previous map loaded in and falling out of the world before fixing it self

  • Level editor vehicle spawns

  • Throwables when empty not being replaced by fists

  • "Gib Explosion" leading to ragdoll being frozen in air

  • Host receiving certain survival achievements instead of the correct player

  • Chainsaw sounds not being able to be modded

  • Consumables view models visible when dead

  • Death cam even at high not using correct color grading

  • Melee in Arms Race not the same on all clients

  • Not being able to join servers on the Server List because "map does not exist" even though it does

  • Hopefully reduced double kills / kills when the victim is already dead

  • "Visibility" and "Content Descriptors" overlapping with "GO BACK" button when updating a mod in the workshop

Miscellaneous

  • Death HUD Headshot effect has been tweaked to look nicer

    • Should show up in Survival too as it previously did not

  • Bullet nearby vignette effect removed as it was annoying

  • Death camera won't hopefully clip through walls anymore

  • Blood on vision now fades properly, as it used to not finish the entire fade animation and it would dissapear before the animation finished

Have fun!

I might work on another patch for V0.2.1

That will polish up V0.2.1 even more, it will contain weapon re-animations, less clunkiness and some maps being redone, if no critical bugs are found then I will work on that patch, stay tuned because it will improve the game a lot more! And after that patch releases, I will most likely go back to working on V0.2.2 but want to ship you guys a smooth, playable, stable and fun version, all made with love :D
