Check out the FAQ and the setup instructions before playing, as well as the rest of the wiki for the new commands and such!
Changes since 1.7
Common changes
- Made sure that mods that want to use custom patch libraries (with
_Custom
mod extension, likeClassicsPatchMod
) behaved identically to vanilla game with "Custom mod libraries" enabled. - The patch can now detect specific seasonal events that can be used for cosmetic purposes.
- Added new gameplay extension for multiplying gravity acceleration and even inverting it using negative values on any level of any mod (
gex_fGravityAcc
command). - Added ability to optionally connect with the Steam client and notify it that the game is running as if it was launched directly through Steam (using new
Steam
config switch). If Steam isn't running or the game is unavailable (not owned), this feature is disabled.
Mod changes
- Blood & gibs can now be customized locally instead of being tied to the server settings and be automatically replaced during specific seasonal events (
gam_iCustomBloodColor
andgam_iCustomBloodTheme
commands). - Now all models in NETRICSA are loaded from predefined configs from
Models/CompConfigs
instead of being constructed in place via code.
Game changes
- Allowed all slider gadgets to be dragged instead of simply clicking on it each time to change the value.
- Allowed scheduling individual commands inline instead of entire scripts for config options using
Command:
keyword. - Allowed hiding options from configs that don't belong to specific mods (or belong to any but specific mods by prefixing them with
!
) usingMods:
keyword. - Made option configs remove the last tab if it only contains separators.
- Aspect ratio is now adjusted before drawing any menus, optimizing them for widescreen resolutions in all mods.
