Developer Patch 2016/11/13

GENERAL UPDATES
Updated some loading screens. Fixed crash: "000051.876| MatLib: there is no material data/objectsdepot\wz_military\Materials\CR_Tileable_MetalPainted_MilitaryGreen_01.mat (Loading mesh data/objectsdepot/wz_military/bld_watchtower_01.scb)" About the AUG forward grip: This weapon wasn't planned on having the possibility to attach a forward grip. We announced some time ago that the gun would be able to have a forward grip attached but unfortunately we have to take that back. The AUG is not capable of having a forward grip attached. Fixed some texture bugs related to the IBA Sand, Medium armor, Light gear & MTV. Lighting Changes This is a big part of our patch. Even though that probably in a lot of player's opinions the lighting in-game has been fine, and would be unnecessary to work on at this moment, we still decided to take a closer and deeper look into it. Why? We, especially me (Sven) and Fred weren't really satisfied with the current lighting quality of the game. We felt like it was not reflecting what the possibilities are with our engine and it wasn't looking 'good'. We decided to take a deeper look into it and we've reworked the entire lighting for EVERY map except Colorado V1. (Reason: we want to keep colorado v1 the same as the 'old colorado v1' lighint always been.) Here's the major changes (summarized up) that we've done: Reworked atmospheric fog: better colors, transitions and better 'fade' with sky domes.</li> Reworked post FX colors: brighter colors, more 'happy' overall colors and best of all a more realistic looking FX.</li> Night vision settings remain untouched BUT we've fixed problems with glow, light swords and sun that affect night vision.</li> Fixed some lighting / shadow bugs related to the light swords.</li> Sky domes and transitions from dawn - day - dusk - night have been optimized. Some maps would show 2 suns, those are now fixed and the sun is lined up with the sky dome.</li> Major other changes and tweaks. Some too small to mention.</li> We hope you all like these new changes, we are at least more satisfied with the global look of the game now. Let us know what you think!</li></ul></ul>

Fixed a ﻿UI Bug where the right click menu would bug under the menu in the in-game inventory.</li> Improved overall UI quality. Did some small changes to make it look just a little bit﻿ better.</li></ul>
