This patch includes a few useful features, mainly for the in-game menu interface.
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 1.9.1
Common changes
- Allowed toggling input patches that implement proper controller support with a global config property (
ExtendedInput
property).- This might help with eliminating SamClassicPatch/EnginePatches#2 and SamClassicPatch/GameExecutable#3 when disabled.
- Allowed forcing a specific seasonal event with a global config property instead of automatically determining it (
ForceSeasonalEvent
property).
Mod changes
- Added command for toggling fade-out of
ModelHolder2
entities to allow them to be visible at any distance (gfx_bAdjustModelHolderMipFactor
command). - Extended upper limit of the
gfx_fEnvParticlesRange
command from2.0
to10.0
. Use at your own risk.
Game changes
- Prevented mods from hiding patch options under the Options -> Classics Patch menu if they exclude the entire "Scripts" directory by having it in
BaseBrowseExclude.lst
for some reason. - Made the URL to the mod page be clearly displayed in the message box upon trying to connect to a server that runs a mod that doesn't exist.
- Added a one-time notification about the current seasonal event when starting the game during its active period.
- Allowed config options to apply their values in real time using
RealTime:
property, just like how volume sliders used to work before. - Made scrollbars in lists of option values behave more like real GUI scrollbars with proper dragging. The old positioning based on the vertical mouse position now only works when clicking on the empty space around the scrollbar.
- Added option to replace old "Page Up" and "Page Down" buttons on the left with a proper draggable scrollbar on the right (
sam_bModernScrollbars
command).
Plugin changes
Local Cheats
- Synchronized cheat commands between all clients when the server client executes them (all except for
cht_Noclip()
andcht_iAutoKill
).
