Viscera Cleanup Detail Update v1.07 Live!

By Austin Phoenix,

Hey hey!

Well, we finally got here! V1.07 is quite the update, bringing with it some large additions, including many fixes, a whole new map with new gameplay challenges, the VCD: Shadow Warrior has been merged in and some new songs for the Big Banger (and by extension, the Soundtrack)!

Read on for a list of the changes:

Maps:
• Added new Incubation Emergency level!
• Replaced the Front End level with something new.
• Greatly reduced the chances of Players falling through the floors in Paintenance Tunnels.
• Optimized Hydroponic Hell.
• Added Cascaded Shadows to Overgrowth, allowing dynamic shadows on all the plants.
• Fixed levers in Evil Science not using the "Pull Down" hand animation.
• Fixed P.I.D of the body in Evil Science near the surgery stating it was eviscerated, despite there being no signs.
• Fixed Evil Science Dr. Mord's P.I.D wrongly counting as shot and murdered, instead of slain and dismembered.

Game:
• Added a "Debriefing" screen that appears after punching-out to clearly show if you're fired or not.
• Added 3 new songs to the Big Banger!
• Added some water footstep sounds.
• The J-HARM no longer jams in Speedrun mode.
• Fixed an issue that caused Report Accuracy and scoring to be slightly skewed by levels that don't use all the boxes on the Punchout Incident Report paperwork.
• Fixed the Janitor trunk sometimes duplicating and/or keeping trophies incorrectly between spin-offs and when repeatedly punching out of the same saved game session.
• Added a "Trophy Backup" save system that saves a time-stamped backup of your trophies everytime you punch-out to the office. In-case something goes wrong.
• Fixed some issue causing the later Achievements (Santa, House of Horror) to not always be unlocked.
• Changed mop-drip particles.
• Fixed spare mop objects (such as the ones in the Janitor Office) counting as mess.
• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused an ininite-loop crash during startup if the movies are not skipped.
• Fixed (hopefully) an issue that sometimes caused an ininite-loop crash after loading a saved game in which lots of footprints were clustered together.

Multiplayer:
• Made a change that 'may' help Steam MP Connectivity (in "Cancelled Connection Attempt" cases).
• Fixed an issue causing players to be unable to join servers hosting Original VCD levels unless they also had the House of Horror DLC.
• Fixed the Janitor Trunk lid not being attached to the trunk itself on clients.
• Fixed an annoying bug on clients that caused objects picked up for the first time to do some ugly physics snapping.
• Added an "Official Content Only" option to the "Game Rules" menu to allow servers to avoid certain Workshop dependency issues, and accept connections from stock VCD players.
• The Big Banger now bounces more smoothly on clients, instead of the sticky motions it had before.

UI:
• Improved the volume balance of menu music.
• Fixed an issue causing the Join Menu to add empty search results.
• Added "Note Zoom Scale" setting to options menu to allow you to improve paper Note and PDA readability.
• Decreased size of level description area on the game's map selection Menu.
• Limited server names to 34 characters.
• Improved the composition of the mid-game menu logos.
• Increased the character limit on punch-out report form boxes, and changed their font.
• Filtered out save files you can't load because you're using the wrong spin-off in the map selection Menu.
• Limited the number of Punchout Reports shown on the Viewing Screen in the office to 100, to prevent crashing.
• Added "Menu Sensitivity" setting to controls menu, allowing you to increase the mouse sensitivity used while in the game's menus.
• Added a "Footprint Limit" setting to the Game Rules menu, allowing you to limit their creation.
• Fixed "Global Radio" setting not taking effect at level load.
• Reordered map list, making Athena's Wrath the default.

Horror DLC:
• Added the missing P.I.D for the guy on the back porch.

Santa's Rampage:
• Fixed "Stuffed Dolls" not counting as Christmas items.
• Fixed company notice notes being listed as from "Aerospace Sanitation" instead of "Polar Sanitation".
• Changed the way Molotovs behave; they now have to be lit before they can explode.

Workshop:
• Added the "Level Inventory" and "Level Voice Controller" settings to the Map Info object, allowing level creators to give players different tools and the SW voice.
• Added Santa and Shadow Warrior objects to "Plopper" tool.
• Added additional bounce pattern system to Big Banger, allowing you to define more detail for songs.
• Fixed News Ticker not scrolling if the first item isn't long enough.
• Fixed News Ticker overrides using blank colours by default.
• Added a "bIsCollectible" variable to all physics objects, allowing you to decide if the Janitor trunk can take it with or not.
• Added VCTrigger actor, allows you to change the hand animation played for "Use" triggers.

Whew!

Incubation Emergency:

Oh hey, and a reminder that Viscera Cleanup Detail's Workshop has grown quite nicely since its inception. Here are just some of the cool things our community has made, so check it out: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=704523...
