v0.3.1

General

• Fixed save-persisting NPCs being invisible and still alive if a save was loaded shortly after their death.
• Slightly improved error reporting when a YouTube URL is invalid in OBS.
• Hopeful fix for some operating systems not being able to find the Half-Life 2 installation.
• Fixed text showing active effects sometimes flickering, and it now renders better.
• Fixed chaos bar flickering and being 1 pixel wide when chaos convar was 0.
• Fixed shuffle mode locking up the game when stream voting was on.
• Shuffle mode should experience less hitching when picking the next effect.
• Fixed minor issue where the first effect in the internal list of effects would be slightly too common and the last effect would be slightly too rare.
• Removed weight reduction for recently chosen effects - it was causing issues with shuffle mode and is more or less superseded by shuffle mode anyway.

Game

• Added acid antlions, cavern antlion guards, antlion grubs, advisors, fast zombie torsos, the autogun, hunters, Dr. Magnusson, and the jalopy to Half-Life 2 and Episode One Chaos, and added zombines to Half-Life 2 Chaos. The effects Spawn Random NPC, Spawn Random Vehicle, Spawn Mounted Gun, and Left 4 Dead have been updated so that they can spawn all of these things in all 3 mods. As of this update, the only effect with any sort of mod-based restriction is Play Random Song.
• Fixed Episode Two compass HUD element being positioned wrong.
• Fully unlocked fov_desired and increased maximum in slider to 105.
• Fixed issue where a melee attack from a combine soldier or any NPC with a crowbar would get interrupted by damage, which would just cause them to start trying to swing again and usually never successfully attack. The swing animation will no longer be interrupted.
• Fixed logos for Episode One and Two being HALF-LIFE'.
• Added SLAMs as a weapon that can be obtained through Give Random Weapon and Give All Weapons.
• Fixed spawning with no items on d2_prison_05 (last map of Nova Prospekt).
• Fixed spawning with no items and in the wrong place on d2_coast_08 (under bridge in Highway 17).
• Fixed Gman being below the deck in d1_canals_06.
• Fixed HL2 intro credits being too small to read.
• Fixed suppression device being unable to damage scripted targets.
• Added back /custom/ folder support, which is standard for Half-Life 2.
• Made "can't use" sound quieter so Grabby isn't so annoying.
• weapon_cubemap has been made to function as a regular weapon would in all aspects, including switching and dropping working more like how they should.
• Buffed NPC crowbar damage from 5 to 10.
• All advisors seen on monitors in Half-Life 2 and Episode One now use the newer advisor model.
• Made credits for Episode One and Two actually their credits instead of copies of Half-Life 2's.
• Made Episode Two Chaos logo be lower down in the main menu/pause menu, in line with the ones for Half-Life 2 and Episode One Chaos.
• Fixed Gman being unable to move in ep2_outland_10 (White Forest Inn).
• Fixed Gman appearing to be too tall (actually just floating a bit) in his Episode Two cutscene.
  • It's not clear if these two Gman issues existed in previous releases.

Effects

• Spawn Random NPC: APC will now chase the player.
• Grenade Guns: Vehicles will no longer do the automatic aiming up to account for gravity, which only NPCs are meant to do.
• You Teleport?: Large flying NPCs now teleport.
• Give Random Weapon: Orbs (weapon_cubemap) can now be obtained.
• World of Fear: Citizens and Barney will use rarely-seen fearful animations.
• Grabby: Now spams as fast as possible.
• Spawn Random Vehicle: Vehicle size now matches player size.
• Left 4 Dead: Slightly improved effect's understanding of what places are visible for Left 4 Dead 2.
• Added Normal Vision and Give Everyone RPGs.
