The dubious physics in Broke Protocol has needed some love for quite a while, and now while Unity is updating its core physics API, I thought it’d be a good time to overhaul BP’s physics implementation as well. Everything from ragdolls, to gun handling, and even water buoyancy has been adjusted and tweaked for more predictable and better quality reactivity. There are some other important details to get into so let’s cover those too:


Until now, BP’s physics had been segmented among classes with different handling and reactions. Client-side destructibles lacked buoyancy, only entities were reactive to explosions, and drag was applied differently depending on type of object. But now, physics reactions are unified and handled the same across all classes of objects. Explosions, buoyancy, and drag is applied consistently and predictably across the board so players can plan and react better to any kind of explosive scenario.


I didn’t want to get too gory on this next feature, but I feel like it’s a requirement for all the War Modding that’s been developing lately (mostly by DwightSchrute and the talented WarForce team). Player models now have limb dismemberment after death. Body parts also have proper reactions as part of the unified physics system. Additionally, all entities can now continue to take damage after ‘death’ which for players results in additional dismemberment. And for vehicles, it can result in quicker or instantaneous explosions similar to the GTA series.


Weapons also receive a big overhaul in both modding and mechanics. Recoil is much better animated with a more standard re-centering pattern seen in traditional shooters like Counter-Strike, Rainbow Six, and others. Equipables can also have their Attach Bone property modded. This is used for Muzzle restraints on animals now but can be repurposed for all kinds of modding ideas. The EquipablePoser in BPResources will, as always, help placement for this.


UI has seen major updates and fixes, especially for mobile and interactivity. UIs are no longer set active by default. Modders must call the new SvPlayer.VisualTreeAssetClone() with the UI top level element name to produce a UI and SvPlayer.VisualElementRemove() to remove part of the subtree. Note that any time a UI is cloned, all button clicked events must be re-established. So it might be more beneficial to hide/show complex UIs rather that Removing and Cloning each time from scratch. Layer and input fixes across PC and mobile have been added as well. Rockford is making beautiful interfaces with this for their relaunch soon, so keep an eye out.


Tons of other fixes in the changelog below have been added, I’m especially thankful to TheUnishark for some of these improvements. A major update for interiors is the return of Cloning and Destroying entire interiors. Apartments now use dynamic interiors, and this will also be useful for missions in the future but it’s fully accessible in the SceneManager class for modding in the current API. PointLife might use this system again for their very cool Ganghouses implementation.

S.E.C.U. Has now officially released out of early access, thank you everyone
that has supported the early access development period, my very first time
finishing a game as well.

And this will not be the final content update, i will be doing post launch updates
that will consist of more weapons and arenas maps.

_Added game configuration options menu.

Fixed crash when start game.

Reverted the patch due to new players getting stuck in the hallway

• Fixed bugged Undo behavior for crafting, foraging, entering combat, gaining a follower, and changing amount of gold
  
• Fixed issue introduced a few weeks ago where game wouldn't work for Linux/Steamdeck

Better FPS FOR NOTHING AND MORE TO COME THANKS GUYS

• Stack your re-rolls: Card Reward's free re-roll now stacks up to a maximum of 3. Free re-rolls will increase if you don't roll your choices.
  
• A new algorithm will now attempt to provide structures desired by players based on their previous choices. Re-rolling a structure will prevent it from appearing in the next nine turns.

• Plants, structures, and animals are now cached into the memory. Hopefully, this will improve the game's performance when executing effects like Wheat Expansion and Corrupted Bunny.
  
• Loading save files will definitely be faster now due to the previous feature! Unfortunately, you WON'T be able to load farms from previous versions.
  
• We removed that quick "delay" animation on plants, which was causing some stuttering in the late game.

• Watery Tree wasn't watching for plants placed before it. Fixed! 💦
  
• Fuel Cow wasn't giving the expected amount of fuel, which is one of the causes of the negative fuel terrifying bug. 🐮
  
• Fixed a bug where Wheat Expansion was causing the game to trigger every passive two times in a row.
