Changelog (Beta v1.5.7.1):

Changed:

- The way the mission initializes player systems and variables to avoid accidental profile corruptions.

Fixed:

- Issue on initialization that would make the player fall into the ocean if the system running the mission was able to bypass initialization speed accounted for. The system now properly sequentializes initializations to avoid high spec systems to fail on start-up and make the player fall into the ocean.

Changelog (Beta v1.5.7):

Added:

- 50+ lootboxes to the loot system to a grand total of 530 boxes.
- Some more deco NPC to hub.
- New CQB boss: Razor.
- Some barter items to the trader economy that you can now sell for profit.
- Missing FAL and UZI mags to repack systems.
- Individual rounds to the repack systems.
- Saiga slug mags to repack systems.
- 2 uniform variants to the wardrobe general pool.
- First 3 small musical pieces to the scenario. These can be heard during raid starts.
- New mission parameters settings.
- A system that will enforce mission view distance according to parameters. This set-up should favor performance on some machines; View distance will be enforced upon entering labs, respawning, deploying to raids or extracting successfully.
- New contract type: NPC Civvie Contact. This contract type will have you meet a civilian contact somewhere in the map that will request items deliveries.
- Scav Karma system; This system tracks the kills made when playing as a scav and adjust the scav karma according to this. Scav karma is the determining factor for which side the scav player will be allied to when starting a scav raid. The karma gains are dependent of the type of enemy killed and the faction of the enemy killed and if it was a SCAV, against what faction you are aligned as when deploying. This is the base of scav fleshing out from this update and onwards.
- More crafting recipes depending on various stations levels.
- More items to the economy of the scenario.
- Additional items to a couple of loot pools.
- A couple of mini-pois.

Changed:

- Additional informational text has been converted from system chats into dialogs for better readability and consistency.
- Scav gangs equipment pools.
- Player Scav equipment pools.
- Steve can keep track of the scoreboard in the blackjack minigame during your play session.
- Heavily optimized the blackjack logic and scripts. This is a precedent for some other systems that might come in the future.
- Maximum trader affinity went down from 125% to 100% in order to prevent extreme cheesing of the trader with high pricing items. (Infinite money)
- Global lootbox refresh wont spam new contents upon all players initialization to raid. Boxes will only be updated once the raid systems detects that at least one player has started raiding after the raid has been considered empty before. This translates to less hiccups while in session but a bit more of a difficult raid time.
- Scav raids now actually refresh the lootboxes abiding to the condition above. This was previously omitted on purpose.
- Some scripts to reflect changes from new parameters.
- The xp given by doing contract has been increased.
- POIs interactions no longer spam network executions; It has been optimized to be managed locally.
- Routers and servers objects in POIs will no longer go directly to your backpack and instead will become a pickable item to put on your inventory, this is done in order to prevent them from not being placed due to inventory overflow.
- Optimized some logic that runs while inside Violet Facility to avoid scheduler clogging.
- Sanitized a couple of files for readability's sake.
- Player Scavs will now change side relations according to their Karma ONLY during a scav raid.
- Bosses and scav bases alignment are now representative of their faction.
- Ambience spawner will try to not spawn AI into the same player multiple times in a row of there is more than 1 player in raid.
- Crafting recipes in workbench have been accommodated according to level.
- Nvg post-processing effects for film grain in level 2 devices (GEN 3).
- Nvg post-processing effects for color correction in "cyan" tubes.
- Nvg tubes have a chance activating the brightness protection if there is weapon fire near them. The chance of it happening is reduced if the weapon being shot has a muzzle attachment. Weapons with flash hiders or silencers integrated are not considered and will suffer the same penalty as weapons without muzzle devices. MKMedical has a similar function for flashbangs photocatode overload and flashlight dazzling.
- Ambient Spawner can now spawn PMC enemies with a chance of 2%.
- Ambient Spawner for UN spawn chances reduced to 2%.
- The lower UI refresh rate.
- Prices for TWS and Nightstalker scopes.

Fixed:

- A typo in an attachment classname.
- An issue that made all the crafting related systems to remove multiple of the "consumed" items while using the systems to create/purchase something.
- Logic issues in the blackjack minigame.
- A leftover in the stat window that showed incorrect trader affinities upon "first session" for new profiles.
- An issue that could make Trader airdrop planes to remain forever in the map without de-spawning them once they reached their final destination.
- An issue with the logic check for Dave shop GUI for certain station levels. Level 3 stations should no longer be considered OWNED once level 2 of the station has been obtained.
- Included a failsafe to scav raid logic to avoid safe containers not being able to be used after something goes wrong.

- Some POIs interactables that were being considered simple objects and not being able to be interacted with.

- An issue that caused scav raids counter to not increase once extracted.
- Ironman wipes will now clear the stash properly and no longer make you lose your loadout due to the faction menu being triggered before actually being able to respawn.
- Mag repack system not being able to use mags with a single round in it as source magazines.
- HK417 is now craftable as it was using a nonexistent item previously
- Player previous corpse no longer has duplicate safe containers actions.
- Safe container logic could cause memory leaks.

Changelog (Beta 1.5.6):

Added:

- Upon selecting a faction, the mission will grant you an additional loadout besides the one equipped that will be found stored in your stash box.

- TT-33 handgun and magazines added to Orlov and magazine repack compatibility.

- 45ACP handgun and magazines added to Adams and magazine repack compatibility.

- MK18 rifle added to lvl3 Adams inventory and magazine repack compatibility.

Changed:

- Dexterity stat calculation has been altered, BEAR won't be as painfully slow as they were previously and top speed will be lower than before, making the speed monster banish away.

- Upgraded the repack system to be able to be feed empty mags.

- Made that empty mags are given back to the player when reloading them from weapons. Due to mag config, if you drop some of them they will still be removed by engine.

- Logic for certain quest that gave you items will now drop them to the floor in order for you to actually be able to pick it up and manage it, instead of forcing it in your inventory. This could cause the object to be lost if there was not enough space in your inventories.

- Player identity randomized upon scav raids, to add a bit more to the feeling that the player unit is different.

Fixed:

- An issue with rest station level 3 not giving the option to use the wardrobe.

- An issue with the Dimitri APC task that would not be completable in certain contexts due to the map cleanup system.

- A design oversight in the boss spawn methodology that allowed bosses to spawn back-to-back after being killed. The Boss cooldown will now happen only when the active boss gets killed.

- A design oversight in the custom threat spawning. It looks like on some occasions, custom threat spawner que can get saturated and overwhelmed making AI spawn on top of player. The system no longer target players as "spawn positions" for this threats, and instead get to spawn and moved into their possible locations arbitrarily.

- A leftover error on the ambient spawner that would notify of an issue every time the system spawned enemies.

Changelog (Beta 1.5.5):

PMC = PMC
BOSS/MINIONS/UN = SPECIAL
GANG MEMBERS/SNIPERS/CULTIST = SCAVS

- Units that were not created by the server will now only count as SCAV units for the XP and kill tracking system.

- Misleading info for flavor text when trying to complete [FRIEND OF CHERNARUS] without fulfilling the condition.

- Trader logic has been tweaked in order to be able to sell them any of the items in the total item pool instead of just being able to see what was available at their level.

- Revamped Pistol, Shotgun and SMG economy in order to boost early level gameplay, the player would be able to afford more with less now.

- All new weapons have been included in the magazine repack system + a couple that were neglected.

- Reworked weapon jamming framework to be able to include all weapons in the scenario without manually having to add them to the system.

Fixed:

- A small issue that would cause extractions to throw an error and not heal you completely if you had your medical station purchased.

Changelog (v1.5.4.2)

Added:

- Dogtag case: A special safe container for dogtags ONLY. Just like the safe container, the storage capacity of this container will be upgradeable in the future.


Changed:

Changelog (v1.5.4.1 Hotfix)

- Fixed the code for Yellow facility that was not set correctly.

Changelog (v1.5.4 Q.O.L)

Added:

- You can now disassemble crafting recipe items in the workshop. They will deliver the same items you use to craft them.

- Added 2 new drug recipes to crafting when obtaining the medical station. They will be both used by mkMedical system next patch or be traded for affinity with a certain trader when it comes during next patch.

- Gave back Dodgy Dave sassy personality to the current hideout trading iteration.

- When coming back from a successful raid, the player character will be healed. If any level of the medical station is also owned, all the effects and debuffs in the players will be removed free of charge.

Changed:

- BEAR default uniform finally changed to not require APEX dlc.

- Raid deployment Invincibility now lasts 45 seconds, it was previously 20 seconds. This applies to all Raid deployments and both as solo or Raid Lobbies.

- Money exchange in intel station has been updated with new rates and new money values to compensate previous economy inflations.

- Dave required components for intel station 2 and 3 have been swapped, getting intel station level 2 should now be easier and make much more sense progress wise, since the rugged router is an end game component.

- Heavily optimized and internally simplified the paint color system in the workbench, this allows for faster mission edits in case us or any other player wants to add color variants to it.

- Screen fade method should be now a bit more consistent since is has be upgraded to use more recent engine solutions that previous versions.

- Reload bench revamp, the bench now lets you use the magazine repack system as you would normally do, but it is MUCH MORE faster when you interact with it, however it becomes level locked when used from the bench. The higher the level of the reload station, the better type of cartridges you can reload while using it. This change does not affect normal magazine repack, as they work indepent one from another.

- Scav extractions increased from 3 possible locations to 5 in total per scav raid.

- Pricing for auto revive injector in medical station level 2 and 3 has been adjusted

Fixed:

- A long due oversight that prevented the mission system to properly set back stat attributes for player units.

Removed:

- Uniforms in Boris are no longer present in favor for the wardrobe system that is coming next patch.

- Noticed a little whoopsies involving outdated files.
