New features
Invert flight for keyboard and controller
Settings → Keyboard & Mouse and Settings → Controller now each have an Invert flight option. Turn it on and choose Apply changes to reverse vertical steering in flying vehicles. Each device saves its own preference.
Changes
-
Forge controls follow ElDewrito 0.6. Space picks up or drops an object, right mouse rotates it, and left mouse selects objects. Hold it from empty space to paint a selection; hold right arrow with empty hands to clear. Q/E fly down/up; F cycles six speeds, including precision mode. 1 opens Objects and 2 opens Properties. Rotation snap now includes 3 degrees, makes one smooth step per gesture, and Up arrow also resets rotation. Controller B clones, D-pad down toggles magnets, left-stick click cycles speed, and RT + D-pad up resets rotation. RT selects with empty hands; hold D-pad right to clear selection.
Turning an object retains its pickup offset. Rotation and push/pull are slower, objects can be pulled to 0.1 units, and C clones beside the face under the crosshair while preserving properties and rotation. These controls apply only in monitor mode; Spartan and Elite controls in Forge stay unchanged. Saved custom bindings keep their choices; resetting controls restores the new defaults.
-
Forge material colors. Primitives now have a Material color picker and Red, Green and Blue values in Properties, like ElDewrito's reforge pieces. Each piece keeps its own color even when it shares a model or material with another. Default restores the material's original color.
Colors follow texture edits, resizing, clones, frozen objects and saved maps, and synchronize with other editors and joining players. Apply to selection can paint selected primitives together.
ElDewrito map imports also retain RGB from Glossy, Matte, Glass Colored and Glass Emissive pieces.
-
Everyone in a game needs 0.9.10. Servers admit only players on exactly their own version, so players and servers on 0.9.10 can't play with those on 0.9.9 or older. The server browser's Version column shows a server on another version in red. Update dedicated servers and players together.
Bug fixes
- Improve Covenant classes in UNSC vs Covenant. Jackal snipers hold their rifles ready to aim, and Grunt grenades fly forward instead of dropping at their feet. Both Grunt classes have twice their previous health, and the free Grunt Minor carries a Needler instead of a Plasma Pistol.
- Flaming helmets show only on developers. In 0.9.9 every player could appear with a flaming helmet. Flames now show only on listed developers, never in your own first-person view, and not while a player wears active camouflage. Developers can turn their flames on or off under Customize → Effects.
- Keep the camera in place when grabbing Forge objects. Grabbing an object keeps your camera where it was and holds the point you aimed at, including close grabs near the corner of a large object.
- Fix a crash shortly after joining a game. Fixed a memory allocation issue that could crash clients shortly after joining a game, including busy Workshop servers.
- Preparing a server join no longer closes the game after a minute. Joining a server, including retrying after a disconnect, could close the game when checking its mods and preparing its map took most of a minute. Preparation now finishes before the connection's timeout starts. A connection that fails still returns to the menu with a notice.
- Count moved players once in match reports. A player could appear twice in the match report after their player slot changed, causing the match's stats to be skipped. Moved players now count once while other departed players remain in the report.
