Content Patch 9

[djarcas]

I think I might stop with the silly version scheme and go with simple numbers.

This patch has only minimal plans, as my focus is heavily on the OnLive version - those of you who have seen the Zombie video will know what odd and unexpected features this can throw up!

Estimated ship date : 11th of May 2012

TODO list:

-emitters should not emit a monster immedaitely, but should have at least 1 update (else building whilst jetpacking does nothing!)
-(Z) ombie field!!
-Client should see damage
-(cant build in others rooms unless its set to everyone build in retail as well. i am unable to build in frineds only)
-http://gyazo.com/c968ad5774e69b5dbaafad7bdab7a419 (profile with no avatar)

With the plan to add custom light models will we maybe get some new custom block lots or have we hit the limit?
Maybe for the spleef rebuilding you could make it like the copy and past works but maybe use a axe thats whit and has spleef written on it.

Splitscreen does work to some extent. My brother and I played a fair amount using it. It has some quirks but it does work. Many people are also asking for spleef rebuilding so I think it deserves priority since it doesn't even have a partial version implemented yet so I think those fans deserve something as well.

Im working on some new blocks...mayhaps they might make it in.

Spleef rebuilding is a day's work. Final splitscreen is 2 weeks' work, and requires another 2-4 weeks of underlying engine changes to make it work to final quality. I don't pick things randomly out of a hat, you know! (Hey, why are people laughing at the back?)
