Hey everybody! This new update contains everything that we & the community have been working on over the past few months. There are multiple new additions to the game which you all should enjoy, along with plenty of new fixes & changes for modders to enjoy. We hope you enjoy this update! THD

Match end map vote

When a match ends, you now get greeted with a vote for the next map instead of the map randomly being picked.
Many thanks to Monkey_Feats for working on this feature!

Small CTF

Small CTF has been added as an official gamemode! Some of you may remember this gamemode from a few months ago, or from this video down below. In short its CTF but with smaller maps, which results in shorter rounds and more chaotic fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L9un1sz_MM Thank you Mazey for this

Block binder

Thanks to Verrazano there is now a new hotkey selection for builder tiles, as shown below. You can access it the same as the emote binder (esc -> bindings -> Bind Builder Blocks). Once done, you can use shift + number to quickly access that block.

Better 3D mod support

There are a few changes in this update that helps out 3D modders with their mods. This first update aims to help performance with 3D mods, and more will be coming later. SMesh and SMaterial has been added, SMesh provides modders with VBO support, so drawing a static object like terrain is no longer as taxing, along with allowing you to load up custom obj (and .mtl) files.
(Image contains a mesh, loaded with an .obj and .mtl file, made by Jenny. All done inside KAG) Big thanks to GoldenGuy and Jenny for testing this part of the update and working on 3D mods.
