Campaigns
  • Paranoia: Crucial Point: Reworked the final encounter. Marines must now defend a generator. If the generator is damaged, it will stop the completion progress until fixed by a tech. If no marine is near the generator, it will take additional damage.

Aliens
  • Added Queen sound effects from the City 17 campaign.

Weapons
  • Fixed piercing chance calculation for bullets that went through a door or other non-living object. (A 200% chance, 290% chance, and 300% chance now all become 100% chance of piercing another target rather than 0%, 90%, and 0%.)

Translations
  • Updated Chinese translation.
  • Updated German translation.
  • Updated Italian translation.
  • Updated Japanese translation.
  • Updated Russian translation.

Misc
  • Fixed non-Workshop addons acting as if they were disabled in the mission chooser.

Mapping
  • Fixed npc_bullseye failing to compile due to a key being too long.
