BUILDING RENOVATIONS

Hey so! In Excelsa Mestnost, most buildings and what-not have been given some great improvements!

Steam post imageWay better quality! Also, this is very new and I'd like to know how you guys like the new buildings.. there will be more changes and buildings will get complete reworks that haven't gotten one properly

SLIGHT OPTIMIZATION CHANGES

TURNS OUT! There was some performance problems because I accidentally kept an option on which was very bad.. and anyways certain buildings and code weren't optimized enough..

SO!

I've done some major changes and now there should be higher performance and stability

Again, would like to know feedback on this! More tweaks will be done to ensure optimization at it's strongest

PLEASE NOTE THAT, THIS IS MORE OPTIMIZATION FOR CPU RELATED OPERATIONS! GPU RELATED RENDERING OPTIMIZATION IS DELAYED TO NEXT UPDATE BECAUSE I HAVE TO DO SOME MORE THINGS! (intense draw calls in Excelsa Mestnost!)

LADDERS ARE FINALLY FIXED

After almost 4 years (gah-damn), those funny looking vertical steps that are called ladders? Oh.. they've been MADE BETTER and shouldn't be as bad

Not only have ladders been bettered but so have been stairs (steps)!

ANIMALS AND INFECTED CHANGES

Turns out that before, the animals were just stupid and the infected didn't respect your space (they'd get in you! wow!)

AND NOW, THEY'RE LESS STUPID, AND THE INFECTED RESPECT YOUR PRIVATE SPACE!

No but really, the animals are very badass and the infected are not to joke around with

PARTICLE CHANGES

Shooting, stabbing, punching, hitting, launching, blowing things up should look better! I've done some changes to impact effects, explosions, trails and other things! (and guns that have pellets like shotguns shouldn't cause -1000fps)

MORE GROSS INJURIES COMING IN THE NEXT UPDATES!

SOME OTHER STUFF

Go play to find out what I've changed (like scope sensitivites now good, new melee animations for third person, and other things)

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed tractor having worst transmission of the century

  • Fixed attaching silencer not respecting player's intent

  • Fixed an issue where in 'Survival' picking up weapons with certain conditions (eg; full grenade amount) would fail

  • Fixed an issue where getting in or out of vehicles would cause the player's view to be incorrect for a frame

  • Fixed the Level Editor's Update failing

  • Fixed the Level Editor's Saving not transferring custom assets properly (if it still doesn't, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!)

  • Some other things I can't remember :D

OK

some various updates to come

Thanks, love you very much for playing

Continue playing! More updates WILL COME <3
