Update 1.3.0 – January Update

Regarding the Extinction Editor

The editor itself is ready to go, we’ve finished off all the remaining issues for it. Unfortunately, our Valve representative has been very busy lately and we’re having trouble getting the Steam application made public to everyone who owns the game. We’ll have this fixed soon- in the meantime we’ll be handing out keys to people who are interested.

Taunts

Every class has a default taunt, which can be equipped in the customization menu. To activate a taunt, press G.

Several more taunts can be found in the store, in Hybrid Crate #2, or drops.

Cook Style

We have changed the way we “cook” and compress our game files. While the result is now significantly larger, this new style is what works best with the Extinction Editor and the upcoming workshop. It also splits the files into several smaller chunks, so we’ll work to make future updates smaller.

Player Collision

Introduced a new experimental collision system for humans and dinosaurs. Humans will no longer collide with each other, and bullets & projectiles will not be blocked by other humans. Similarly for dinosaurs, small dinos & projectiles (ie cryo/dilo spit) will not be blocked. Tyrants & Carnos still block each other.

Gameplay Feed

Added a new “Gameplay Events” feed system. This is currently only present in GTTC to notify all players when an objective is captured by the humans. We’ll be looking to expand this to display other interesting events in other gametypes, such as dominations and killstreaks.

VoteMap and VoteKick

We’ve added a new votemap and votekick system to the servers. This can be enabled or disabled in the server’s config. Votemap works by typing ‘!votemap’ and the map’s full name, for example

!votemap pc-docks

Votekick does not work through the chat at this time, and can be used by holding tab and selecting a player.

Pounce Recovery

Raptors now have their movement locked for the duration of their recovery after completing a pounce (previously they could attack instantly) and Human recovery time has been slightly increased.

Freeroam Chat

The freeroam chat system is now disabled by default and can be re-enabled in the server’s configs.
