Important: This update includes breaking changes. Please note that auto-upgrading from older versions is not supported; a new project is recommended or a manual update if needed.

Full Change Log

#ADDED

• -ADDED: New weapon prefab system. Weapons are now instantiated at runtime instead of being included in each player prefab, reducing the player prefab size by approximately 97% and requiring weapon integration only once for all players.
• -ADDED: Option to return to the waiting room after a match with the same players.
• -ADDED: Additive Room UI loading. The Room UI is now in a separate scene and is loaded additively, simplifying room UI customization and avoiding cases where the room UI is not synced in all maps due to unlinked prefabs.
• -ADDED: Bots can now use the same player models as real player prefabs, eliminating the need for separate integrations.
• -ADDED: Bots now use the same third-person weapon setups as player prefabs, removing the need for separate integrations.
• -ADDED: Kill Assist feature, which awards points to players who assist in a kill and tracks the number of assists.
• -ADDED: Option in GameData to allow reloading while running.
• -ADDED: Option in GameData to display muzzle flashes when firing while aiming.
• -ADDED: Flashbang grenades that can blind enemies within range facing the detonation.
• -ADDED: Profanity word filter that replaces common profanity words with asterisks. It includes a database of over 2,800 words and allows for adding more.
• -ADDED: Option in GameData to change default player class names.
• -ADDED: Two new weapon recoil modes: ‘Random2D’ and ‘Pattern’ recoil, in addition to the existing vertical recoil.
• -ADDED: Toggle or hold options for crouch and sprint inputs in the in-game settings menu.
• -ADDED: New Automatic Rifle example weapon.
• -ADDED: Optional double jump in the player movement system.
• -ADDED: Effective Firing Range property for weapons, defining maximum damage within a set range and decreasing to minimum damage beyond that range.
• -ADDED: Audio Mixer for improved in-game audio blending and greater control over audio settings.
• -ADDED: Generic first-person weapon animations, allowing integration of first-person weapons without the need for custom animations for each weapon.
• -ADDED: Support for first-person weapon empty reload animations, an optional animation that plays when reloading with zero ammo.
• -ADDED: AI Areas, an optional system that enables bots to play more tactically by calculating enemy hot zones and responding accordingly.
• -ADDED: MFPS Editor updater window for downloading and installing small MFPS patches directly from the editor.
• -ADDED: Two new spawn point selection modes: ‘Farthest’ (spawns at the farthest point from all players) and ‘Freest’ (spawns at the least crowded point).
• -ADDED: Option in GameData to define available Photon PUN server regions.
• -ADDED: Room creation option to create matches with only one type of weapon allowed (e.g., Sniper Only, Pistol Only).
• -ADDED: Editor overlay toolbar for easily previewing first-person/third-person weapons, accessing the MFPS Manager window, and quickly opening an MFPS scene.
• -ADDED: Support for first-person weapons with multiple animators (e.g., one for the weapon and another for the arms).
• -ADDED: Option in GameData to allow the use of quick melee attacks without needing to equip a melee weapon in the loadout.
• -ADDED: PlayStation 4/5 controller support.
• -ADDED: Stamina system, allowing players to sprint, jump, or slide for a limited time before needing to rest (optional).
• -ADDED: Support for weapon bash attacks, an optional melee attack that can be used as a quick attack, overriding the quick knife attack if the weapon has it.
• -ADDED: A new skin variant system that allows setting up modular character models with different skins in a single player prefab.
• -ADDED: A new camera shake option ‘Curve’ which allows defining a custom curve for the roll shake effect.
• -ADDED: Unarmed hands animations, including walking, running, punching, and idle animations for unarmed players.
• -ADDED: Players can now manually drop equipped weapons by pressing the ‘L’ key. If players drop all weapons, the unarmed hands will be used.
• -ADDED: Option in the GameModes settings to define how to assign teams for players and bots when auto team selection is enabled: split or all in a specific team.
• -ADDED: Map loader screen, a new screen that shows when a map is loading, allowing for custom loading screens.
• -ADDED: Two new first-person weapon sway effect modes: Roll and Counter Strike Style.
• -ADDED: New hook system, another way to add custom logic to the game without modifying the core scripts.
• -ADDED: Option in GameData to allow hearing enemies’ proximity voice chat, not just teammates’.
