    I sat down and did some major optimizations. A couple ones were very obvious but I never got to do it cause I waited until it was really needed. The time has come and I present a new build of Link-Dead alpha. An interesting thing is a lot of performance waste was because of the sound engine, I didn't suspect that. Anyways I hope this works great.

    Changes 1864-1865:

    – added grenade explosion decal on wall
    – fixed pickup and drop menus rendering outside screen bounds
    – increased item pickup radius to allow picking from ceiling
    – fixed editor crash
    – fixed server crash when lots of traffic
    – fixed loose parts of gostek warping from top left corner
    – optimized sounds when body hits ground
    – optimized many sounds playing at a time
    – bullet impact sound pitch now varies depending on bullet velocity
    – added splat sound when blood hits wall
    – optimized decal painting
    – reverb sound effects play only if fps > 60
    – optimized actor raycasting
    – optimized ragdolls
    – fixed sliding ragdolls
    – optimized sprites outside screen borders
    – fixed climb speed when legs hurt
    – fixed bug causing linux server to consume over 30% CPU
    – removed player light
    – fixed respawn queues not destroyed on client on map restart
    – fixed double player after map restart
    – fixed not respawning automatically after map restart
    – player scores don't reset after round restart
    – fixed wrong time and units count on server join

    [controls]
    – removed sneak option – walking is now silent

    [balance]
    – increased power of mutant pistol and shotgun by 10%

    10. Cześć Michał!
      Piszę tutaj, bo nigdzie nie mogłem znaleść twojego e-maila. Jak mogę się z Tobą skontaktować ? Mam problem odnośnie kupna gry. Zapłaciłem, lecz od wczoraj nie dostałem e-maila z instalacją, jedynie potwierdzenie tranzakcji od DotPay.

    12. “removed sneak option – walking is now silent” – SWEET!


    13. Blacksheepboy

      Sooo, how shall we get the updated versions when they come out..?

      (PS. Will probably donate a little more after I play it. Just want to get a feel for things first.)


    14. Blacksheepboy

      Oh, yes, the reason I ask is because I use a public library for internet (for the time being; WILL CHANGE SOON!)


    15. Updates are automatic when you open the exe.
