Austroraptor and Utahraptor Pounce has been re-enabled. We are still working on balancing and stamina mechanics. Such as a dinosaur being slowed more depending on the number of dinosaurs pounced on it.




Ability to record replays and play them again from any camera angle.
This works by dumping network traffic to a file and you can play it back.
Hit T key to start recording, and T again to stop. (This is called 'Push to Talk' in keybinds and it will get its on seperate key later on)
Go to the main menu and then select a replay.

Features In Later Updates: Rewind, Fast Forward and Time Scrub a Replay.
These are great for reporting bugs and solving problems as you can just send the devs a copy of a replay file.

Replays are saved in: %localappdata%\TheIsle\Saved\Demos

Client Side Recorded Replays will only have data within replication distance ( around 2 km ) of the dinosaur recording.
Server Side Replays will be coming soon and that will record all traffic on the server regardless of the distance.

Please leave feedback in the discord under channel #replay-testing.

Adjusted stamina for all dinosaurs other than Apex.

-- Dinosaur stamina is accounted for speed, weight mass, and overall drain/recovery.
-- Smaller dinosaurs, while slower than some apexes, can run for longer, which results in an overall further running distance than Apexes and some larger, bulkier dinosaurs. However, their regain is not as potent, which results in larger dinosaurs being able to track them over time with appropriate sprint/trot usage for stamina management.
-- Carno is now the definition of "I will run you down if I don't lose sight of you" animal with stamina adjustments.

Increased Shanty stamina pool slightly, while increasing the stamina drain on stomp by 5. This should give him a larger spread between flight or fight, and not be as punishing if the Shant tries to flee.

Suchomimus finally has a weight mass upgrade by over 1k. Is no longer a pushover for anything less than an Acro+ size animal.

Added: New Framework for Blacklisted Servers. Now displays a helpful error message about why a server might be blacklisted.

Adjusted apex stats (Giga/Spino/Rex/Acro) to focus on short bursts of speed and ambush. This is to move them away from extremely mobile "pursue forever" hunters that can't be dealth with.

-Each apex has slightly different stats based on weight and damage that play off of their stamina. These are all relatively close together, but over time result in drastically different hunting capabilities.

--Acro/Giga focus on a moderate, single burst of speed/long stamina regain time, with minor stamina regain during trots.

--Rex focuses on a short, single burst of speed/moderate stamina regain time, with only stamina regen during resting.

--Spino focuses on moderate, numerous bursts of speed/moderate stamina regain time, with minor stamina regain during trots.
