Did you know that it’s actually trivial to calculate the exact volume of an arbitrary mesh? Chalk that one up to “things that excite programmers and nobody else”. I also took a look at improving the explosion simulation, after reading this paper the other day. Behaviour around disconnecting and reconnecting while dead should be a lot more consistent. This slightly mitigates the defender advantage, as well as the offense if they have built a raiding respawn point outside the base.

This is intended to make pushing into an actively defended base easier, as killing a defending player repeatedly will increase their spawn fatigue and give the attackers more time to push. As in legacy, respawning at a stake will add a small debuff to your respawn time. I also re-implemented a few spawn features that had fallen to the wayside, such as spawn fatigue. The journey to reclaim your lost loot is already pretty risky, so this should give you a bit more of a home advantage. Y our death marker is now tied to your death loot, so you’ll be able to see if another player snatches it up as the marker will disappear.

As with all polish work, there’s not really a tonne of awesome stuff to show, apart from things just being a nicer and better structured.

Heya folks! This week I’ve finished up on improving the internal spawning architecture and the spawn window, and fixed some stuff relating to user interface focus control (edge of your seat stuff!).
