Developer nex 416 Posted December 23, 2021 Developer Share Posted December 23, 2021 This update brings new features, new content, bug fixes, optimisation, improvements to the media player, and more! Added a new and improved technique for syncing vehicle Nitrous (NOS) with other, nearby players (by @nex) Nitrous effect synchronization has been disabled/removed for a while now, but this marks its return! You can now see other players using Nitrous with the effects appearing as they should Tweaked the logic of gaining drift score in zones to increase instead of decrease, based on nearby players (by @nex) Previously, you'd actually lose score if there were many players drifting in the same area. The original idea for this was to allow players to spread-out to other drift zones, instead of hogging just one. But after this change (we hope) you are now encouraged to gain score by participating in tandems and other group-related drift activities. Added rainbow vehicle neons for Super Supporters and above, with the ability to sync with other players (by @nex) Yep, RGB neons/underglow are finally here! You can also perfectly synchronize them with other players You can change the speed and seed of your rainbow-ness, and if other players use the same speed (and seed) they are able to sync-up with you. Use the /rainbowneon command in-game to use this feature, and pay attention to the command suggestions when typing it out for more information. Examples: /rainbowneon toggle - Enables rainbow neons /rainbowneon sync - Enables synchronization /rainbowneon 15000 1337 - Sets the speed to 15,000 and the seed to 1337 Added nickname abilities for all supporters, allowing a different in-game name to the one you joined with (by @nex) This feature is useful for, as an example, if you want to prefix your name with a clan tag - but it can obviously be used for more than that, so get creative! Your nickname will be shown in kill feeds, above your player model (gamertag/player name) and more areas (except for chat). Furthermore, all nicknames are suffixed with an asterisk (*) so it's easy to distinguish an actual name from a nickname. Use the /nick (or nickname) command followed by the name that you would like to use. Use /nick reset to reset it. Updated the common scripting language, improving FPS and performance in many cases (by @nex) Most of our scripts are now running on the recently updated and improved version of Lua (5.4). This will improve your FPS (more noticeable on older systems?) and reduce lag spikes. Added synchronization to custom vehicle engine audio, allowing your changes to be heard by other players (by @StOneR) Custom "Engine Audio" for vehicles were entirely client-sided, but now can be heard by other players! Now go flex your custom rotary engine sound in-game Added new filters for letters in player names that were abused to confuse other players, more notably in PvP scenarios (by @nex) Added optimisation to vMenu that greatly improves client and server performance on player connect (by @StOneR) Added new chat message and player name filters to our auto moderation tool for racists - bye losers! (by @nex) Fixed a bug that allowed players to use excessive whitespaces in their names and in-game chat messages (by @nex) Fixed an error related to the smoke option in non-highlife apartments (by @StOneR) Fixed a bug that caused the nitrous exhaust effect to be delayed when you use it for the first time in a session (by @nex) Fixed improper categorisation of some cars that were reported on Discord by players (by @StOneR) Improved the synchronization technique used by vStancer (by @StOneR) Removed several problematic vehicles that caused NVIDIA driver crashes (by @StOneR & @nex) Tweaked the anti-cheat to better-detect some cases of cheating (by @nex) Changes for Media Player: Added proper support for Twitch.tv links (by @logan. & @nex) Added a new and improved default screen (by @logan.) Fixed a rare bug that could cause a client crash for nearby players (by @logan.) Fixed a bug where the URL given by the player could be parsed incorrectly (by @logan.) Improved the resolution of YouTube and Twitch.tv playback (by @StOneR) Improved the handling of when a video/request ends (by @logan.) Improved the performance of playback (by @logan.)
