Change list

[expand type=details]

Improved UI scaling to fix issues where Translations would tread off the UI buttons
Added Portuguese - Brazil & Spanish - Spain
Updated collision presets for the SpawnNode and Landscaping Collision Meshes, so they no longer will intercept long-range mouse clicks (Was messing w/ double clicks)
Updated SeenList logic to properly 'eject' targets that share the same Faction Manager Initial test indicates that this works very well even when trying to 'place' a pod right next to a building.
Added a fix for the 'Halt' command not fully working for units who were moving in formation
Overhauled clicking+double clicking:No longer relies on UE4's double-click implementation
Avoids the 'CurrentclickablePrimitive' logic which seems unreliable at long range (sometimes 'missing' the ground, for example)
Uses a new 'just double-clicked' timer to prevent 'over-clicking' resulting in a canceled double-click Result: Double clicks feel massively more reliable in-engine.
Updated 'SetTarget' logic: No longer 'clears' the SeenList, which was useful for the old 'sight' system. On our new PerceptionSystem, this can result in units completely ignoring things that are already within sight range. Rather, it simply increases the threat level of the target if it is already in the SeenList: if it's not, then it's added with a high threat.
Additionally, SetTarget now properly will leave 'NoStructures' fire mode alone if you're not telling something to shoot at a Structure, instead of forcing the FireMode to 'OpenFire' no matter what.
Finally, if the unit's Current Target has more threat than SetTarget would normally give, then the New Target receives the Current Target's threat on top of the boost
Improved the 'dynamic pod trace' logic from yesterday:
Now can filter out actor classes and maintain an 'ignore list', as well, to reduce number of 're-traces' on hitting invalid classes
Created a new C++ class parent for the Car landscape actors, just for filtering's sake
Dynamic pod traces (for the upcoming Chelsey early game revamp) now allow for pod construction where they'd clear out trees/cars like the pre-placed pods can
Blow up guy health increased to 850
Spitter increased to 600
Gas tower starting health is 6000
Spine turrets increased to 4000
All special infected are now more resistant to small/mid caliber rounds
Spine turrets health is now 6000
Pod structures increased to 8000

[/expand] More Operators adjustments will be forth coming as we work to polish it amongst the RTS aspects to get back on civilian management. We expect to wrap up polish and be back on civilian management very soon Please note the following going forward (Restart your game/steam to get the update if needed

Cepheus Protocol Anthology

We will be launching a new weekly series that will see several chapters added every Friday after release and will cover the chapters of the Novelization with 5 chapters added to expand upon the story and give more value to those itching for more lore/story information. It will delve into and show more about a secret new faction that will become the Anti-CERC in the Cepheus Protocol universe.

Don't forget to wishlist! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1707120/Cepheus_Protocol_Anthology_Season_1/

The Pangu Virus has been unleashed in San Francisco, turning thousands of innocent lives into mindless beasts that feel no pain and have no fear of death. With each passing hour, the Pangu Virus evolves, creating new and ever more horrific mutations with one goal in mind… Spread.

You are Captain Winter, a military officer fighting alongside the Center for Epidemic Research and Control(CERC). With a massive arsenal and the resources of the US Government behind it, you and CERC will stop at nothing to ensure the terror of the Pangu Virus does not escalate beyond containment, even if a whole city and millions of lives must be sacrificed.

Cepheus Protocol is inspired by classic RTS games such as Company of Heroes and World in Conflict, alongside the book World War Z.
Survive if you can against a relentless enemy that evolves and grows more powerful with each day.
Build specialized units from a variety of bases that can be placed anywhere in the open-world map.
Battle those infected by the Pangu Virus across four open-world islands, featuring unique and challenging environments.
Choose from three combat tiers that play to your style. Each tier has specialized units, equipment, and weaponry.
Engage a relentless horde of infected which numbers grow larger and stronger with each territory captured as you battle for control of San Francisco.
Hunt Patient Zero, who races across the city seizing territory. Each capture zone increases her population as the virus spreads and possesses all organic matter.
Form an alliance or side against the Anarchist and Police factions, which struggle to survive among the madness that has enveloped San Francisco.

Note: Steam Remote Play is for allowing your friends to try out the game if you already have purchased it. It's not for online co-op: that is is planned in the current roadmap, but is not complete yet
