Hotfix July 27th, 2015 Changelist

• Fixed overlapping audio options for non-english localizations.

Update July 26th, 2015 Changelist

• Made tweaks to Outpost mode:
  
  • Cache health now resets on wave start.
    
  • Implemented VO for AI damaging the cache.
• Reduced cost of Hollow Point ammunition by two supply.
  
• You can now hear other players reload and crawl.

• Reduced the bounciness of grenades.
  
• Increased holster animation speed for all primary weapons except the M249, RPK, RPG and AT4.
  
• Changed baseball slide animation to a slide on the knees.
  
• Added the ability to lean with the RPG, AT4 and Knives.
  
• You can now pick up a weapon from the ground if you are carrying the same type of weapon (eg. swapping an AKM for another AKM).
  
• Added audio fade out during the death to spectator transition.
  
• Leaning to the left while standing no longer exposes your leg so much and your character's head is at the same level as your view in first person.
  
• Sliding now keeps you crouched if you used the toggle crouch key.
  
• The size of the weapon is now kept consistent regardless of cl_ads_fov_scale setting.

• New first person ready animations for the M16, M4A1 and MK18.
  
• C79 optic is more aligned with the center of your screen on the M16/M4 and M14.
  
• 7x Scope has been centered and moved closer to the screen on the M14.
  
• M249 handle no longer moves during animations.

• World model of the M249 has moving parts during the reloads.
  
• Bipods now deploy on world models.
  
• The Security team’s holstered primaries hang in front of their character, simulating a three-point sling, while longer weapons hang over their shoulder, such as the FAL, L1A1, M14, M40, Mosin, SKS & RPK.
  
• Insurgent team’s primary weapons holster on the left shoulder, or on their back when not wearing a backpack.
  
• Both teams holster the RPG and AT4 on the right shoulder.
  
• Added helmets to most Security team classes in coop.
  
• Added helmets to most Insurgents in Hardcore Coop playlist.

• Updated Ukrainian and Polish translations (thanks to [UA] Nick919 and Kamil Stankiewicz)
  
• Fixed scrolling on Workshop subscriptions list in-game.

• Fixed various achievements not properly being triggered.
  
• Fixed weapon world model collisions.

• Fixed exploit used to see through walls with the knife.
  
• Fixed bots flashbang responses not triggering properly.
  
• Fixed bots in Occupy.

• Fixed smoke grenades not always blocking line of sight for AI.
  
• Fixed multiple engine exploits (thanks to Nathaniel Theis).
  
• Fixed AI rarely talking in cooperative games.
  
• Fixed an orientation issue with the M249 muzzle flash. A dirt particle associated with it would be shooting up in the air instead of forward. It was also affecting tracer round effects.

• Switched over to the ISteamUGC API for managing Workshop content. This allows for addons of any file size and uploaders are no longer bound by a quota.
  
• Uploading a map to Workshop no longer modifies the map file. The upload process will still automatically find overviews, loading background and map voting image but will no longer embed them in the BSP.
  
• Unified the uploader for VPK addons and maps.
  
• Added “Playlist” category to in-game uploader.
  
• Theater scripts now load several of the sound scripts rather than having it in the game_sounds_manifest.txt, this allows theater mods to easily override most of the in-game audio.
  
• M4 and M16 carry handle model are no longer shared between both weapons. M4 uses the “a_carryhandle_m4” model & the M16 uses the “a_carryhandle_m16” model. They also use their own diffuse textures respectively.
  
• Added 3rd person model attachment system that can be used to add bonemerged model to a player model. This can also be used to create fallbacks when a gear item is not equipped (“fallback_for_slot”).
  
• New attachment points have been created on player models to determine where they are placed when holstered.
  
• Added several input and output events to the ins_rulesproxy entity.
  
• Added Start Breakable flag to prop_door_rotating. This allows for L4D2/CSGO style destructible doors.

Thanks! Have fun! ːsecurityː

Our guests today will be Kyle from the AwesomeSauce Network and Ed Crisler from Sapphire Technology. Both channels are computer hardware as well as gaming focused, and have already heard of Insurgency. While Kyle is a little more familiar, we’ll be showing Ed the ropes, and may be joined by a couple other guests as well. Special thanks to one of our dedicated players and beta testers Cellprocessing for helping us put this whole thing together and for playing with us today. Everyone is welcome to join us ingame, server IPs will be given out in the stream chat.

As always, I’ll be happy to answer any questions in the stream about Insurgency. :security:

We are livestreaming today, Saturday July 18th, at 3:00 pm EST with modmaker and former team member ZenPhire, creator of Bullet Time and other mods which can be found on his BULLET TIME + BRUTAL BOTS server here: 104.131.183.138:27015. You can tune in to the livestream here.



We’ve played a bit of the Bullet Time mod on a couple occasions during different streams. This mod basically adds extra brutal modded bots and a triggerable slow motion power up that the player can use for himself and his team. I’ve been meaning to sit down with ZenPhire for a while to discuss his mods. We’ll also be checking out a Guerilla mod he created which pits Insurgent players with limited loadouts against Security bots, and we’ll talk a little bit about some cool stuff he has planned for the future.

We are livestreaming today, Saturday July 11th, at 3:00 pm EST with level designer and artist Drew Fletcher (..oxy..), creator of Gizab. You can tune in here.



Gizab features PvP modes Skirmish, Occupy, Firefight, and Checkpoint for Coop. It has custom models, textures, and soundscape. The layout is mirrored, and features a Mosque (complete with a call to prayer which plays occasionally), underground tunnels, tight alleyways, and more. It’s both visually impressive, with some tight gameplay.



Drew will be joining me on the stream to take us through his map. We’ll talk a bit about the level design process and some of the challenges he faced with such an ambitious project.



As always, I’ll be happy to answer any questions in the stream about Insurgency, and Drew will be happy to take any questions, criticism, or feedback on Gizab. ːsecurityː
