The beta and releasecandidate branches have been updated with a preview of the January 1st 2024 update:

Happy new year! This month’s update contains fixes for controller issues, updates to the Infection deathmatch challenge, and a few miscellaneous fixes and new features.

Official Missions
  • BioGen Corporation: Invisible Threat: Fixed speedrun time being incorrectly calculated.

Controller
  • Fixed doubled cursor movement inputs on in-game menus such as computer hacks and the briefing lobby.
  • Fixed extra inputs being generated when switching action set. This was causing the Override command to close and re-open the hack.
  • Fixed an issue where after starting the game with Steam in Big Picture mode or using the controller, selecting a marine with the mouse would always select Sarge.
  • Added convars rd_input_controller_mode_mouse and rd_input_controller_mode_keyboard to lock the input mode to not-controller (0) or controller (1).

Menus
  • Fixed non-English letters not being enterable into the lobby name field.
  • Fixed 7.1 surround sound missing from 2010 audio settings menu.
  • Fixed incorrect name for Order Specific Marine in the 2010 keyboard settings menu.
  • Fixed download campaign button being obscured by the filters button.
  • Fixed memory leak related to player avatars. This could sometimes lead to a “CUtlRBTree overflow” crash.

Infection Deathmatch Challenge
  • Reduced the amount of bonus maximum health that comes with Last Stand.
  • Reduced the DPS of the chainsaw when using Last Stand.
  • Slightly increased the DPS of the chainsaw when not using Last Stand.
  • Freeze Grenades can no longer be used. (They were already unselectable.)
  • Significantly increased Trip Mine damage against zombies.
  • Fixed players falling through terrain when turning into a zombie.
  • Updated custom edits for dm_deima.
  • Added Classic variant:
    • Last Stand mode is disabled.
    • Prime Zombies no longer have shields.
  • Improved bot marine pathfinding across all deathmatch game modes.

Scripting
  • Added a new method to rd_hud_vscript: PaintPolygon(vertices, red, green, blue, alpha, texture). vertices is an array of tables, each containing x, y, s, and t coordinates. There must be at least three vertices and they should form a convex shape in clockwise order. x and y are screen coordinates. s and t are texture coordinates, from 0 to 1.
