Core

• Weapon entries have been extended!
  • With much help from DarkenedFantasies (DF) and Jesse, weapon entries are (finally) virtually-unlimited! Say goodbye to broken tooltips and edge case bugs for several Askosi and factional weapons!
  • Please report any weapon-based oddities you encounter to us via discord/fluxer or email!
• Immense improvements have been made to helper and hook wrappers!
  • For the less technically-inclined, this means... more stability! Less desyncs! Easier debugging!
  • Please report any newfound issues you encounter to us via discord/fluxer or email!
• The custom trigger system has been deep-cleaned! (c. Veeq7)
  • This refactor makes the system easier to use, maintain, and improve upon in the future! But a huge refactor like this might have introduced new issues...
  • Please report any newfound issues in campaign and UMS maps to us via discord/fluxer or email!
  • Known issues: the wait crig action does not currently operate
• A new campaign menu has been achieved! (c. Jesse)
  • It's so epic... please enjoy!
