Hey everyone!



Smaller build to get some tweaks were added this week, want to give you a small changelog that includes more fixes to the maps, more user interface updates and better AI pathing and awareness. You've got even more attentive and dangerous enemies to face ;).

Here's your changelog!

• Enemies can now hear and react to sound - this was broken before.
  
• Fixed some pathfinding calculation to better prevent getting stuck on corners
  
• Crawling zombies get up quicker and don’t turn around unnecessarily
  
• Cycling through soldiers now works correctly in multiplayer
  
• Nightmare should no longer be able to run off the cliff
  
• Strafing and aiming works significantly better
  
• Fixed some issues in the Parks and Residential hubs.
  
• Fixed an issue where occasionally non-localized strings would show up in the Load Game dialog.
  
• Changed object culling routine to ignore areas with a squad member present.
  
• Mouse wheel now scrolls the right direction on the equipment screen for squad members.

• Multiplayer no longer requires both players to be in command mode at the same time.
  
• When a single player is in command mode the other player may continue in action mode, but they both are playing at a slowed speed. If both players enter command mode time will pause.
  
• Fixed bug where sometimes human enemies would shoot at each other.
  
• Fixed many issues with enemy pathing and paths not updating.
  
• Human enemies will now move into the encounter during the ambush on the city safehouse

• Fixed bug where some guns could fire with 0 ammo in the magazine.
  
• Can no longer save during challenge mode.
  
• Some environment fixes in the Residential district.
  
• Fixed miscellaneous issues with AI. They should be a lot less finicky now.
  
• Fixed a pathfinding issue that occurred in some rare instances that could prevent further pathing until a new scene is loaded
  
• Fixed a bug preventing some packets from being sent correctly on the network
  
• The join game screen now shows the connection speed to the server associated with the object
  
• Reload animations play for the correct amount of time for very fast and very slow reloads
  
• Fixed regression where XP wasn't being displayed properly and level-ups weren't being awarded correctly.
  
• Fixed numerous Docks related issues.

Before proceeding to the latest change-log, let us remind you (yet again) that FaceRig is at this time still in development. It is fun and functional, but it still has a few bugs.

A new update is live on the "nextversion" branch, bringing some fixes for bugs our community reported after our latest patch.

[5'th of June 2015 Edit]: Now these have been tested and are also deployed on the main branch :)


Full change log:

• (Halloween DLC) Avatar Greta now has animated hands
  
• fixed Avatar Zyraxes animations
  
• added Avatar Zyraxes Retargeted (uses an enhanced version of Free Form Retargeting tracker interpretation module, should be more expressive)
  
• fixed infinite loading hang. Sometimes the app would hang indefinitely while starting up.
  
• changed movie export method for low resolutions. The movie is rendered at a minimum resolution of 1280x720 and then downscaled to the desired lower resolution. Above 1280x720, the movie is rendered at the specified resolution.
  
• changed UI SDK version. This will fix a save layout issue; previously, if an element was outside the view, it wouldn't have been saved at all.
  
• added tips and funny comments
  
• implemented eye lid compensation/correction when turning head
  
• eyes left right calibration was not applied when "force look at camera" option was on (when eyes were not tracked). Now, when the avatar is set to look at the camera the eyes are calibrated correctly.
  
• fixed eye pupil behavior on small left right ranges
  
• fixed .bmp export issue. The frame by frame export function was exporting a single file for every 4 frames.
  
• Increased default eyebrow noise threshold.
  
• reduced amplitude of some visemes, they now apply 70% of their max pose

If you are wondering about how to use the more experimental "nextversion" branch here are the steps:

• Open Steam Client. Go to Library -> Software
  
• Right mouse click on FaceRig -> Properties
  
• Go to BETAS tab, click in the "Select the beta you would like to opt into:" drop down, select "nextversion"
  
• Close window. The FaceRig program will update to the "nextversion" branch.

And now, we have something a very special to show you. The avatars for our Trailblazer backers are done!
We figured our community would like to see them so we asked them for permission to showcase the characters in a short video. We'd also like to take this opportunity to thank not only our trailblazers for allowing us to show you these, but all our backers who have supported the project in its early days on IndieGoGo and, in essence, made all of this possible :)

Now...which of these is your favorite?

*Remember: these characters belong to the five Trailblazer backers and will not be included with the program.

Have a wonderful week,
The FaceRig Team
