Changelog Renegade X Beta 3

 

Optimizations:
- Weapon Texture resolutions have been reduced to a max of 1024x1024.

- 3rd person weapon meshes now only have a single material slot for a single draw call.
- All mesh LODs for 3rd person weapons have been updated.
- First person arms mesh now uses a combined single texture map / material for less draw calls. At the same time this also fixes the stealth effect on the arms not working right due to more than one material.
- Optimized all characters (draw calls, textures & shaders).
- Gold Rush & Mesa II: - optimized collision, reduced lightmap sizes, optimized certain LODs, smaller filesize.
- Optimized silo light map sizes.
- Added a PT scene specific C-130 which is cropped and has much smaller light map size,
- PT actors moved server side, and replicated to clients

- 1st person reloading animation no longer gets overridden by sprinting animation.
- 1st person sprinting animation should now automatically play after switching to a different weapon whilst sprinting.

- Fixed Missile Launcher first person clipping through camera in some resolutions

- Fixed potential occurrence of being able to heal someone who is dead if they still had some armour when they died.
- Fixed issue with beacons destroying buildings that they are very far by using the bounding
- Fixed issue where player’s weapon ammo count did not update after leaving vehicles

- Fixed Stealth tank not lighting up properly when getting shot while cloaked
