Dear Gear Up community, We’re constantly thinking about cool, new parts to add to the Gear Up part roster. Right now we’re prototyping a deployable shield, and we’d like to hear what you think about it. Our idea: The shield attaches to a support socket. By default the shield is inactive and offers no protection (lower right corner picture). By pressing [strike]LMB[/strike] RMB the shield activates and deploys a semi-sphere around that side of the tank. The shield lasts for a number of seconds before it collapses. After a cooldown the player can activate the shield again. The shield could also have a set number of armor points. Once they’re depleted the shield collapses as well. We’re also considering disabling weapons while the shield is active. Now it’s your turn. Are we on the right track? How can we make it more interesting? Are there any foreseeable consequences that we’re missing? Do they look totally lame? Please head over to the Gear Up discussions and let us know your thoughts. Best regards, Gear Up devs EDIT: We first wrote LMB in the text - but it should've been RMB (as with the other support parts).

- Fixed ray casts to bodies with 0 mask, caused direct hits on hit body to be ignored. - Changes so DX11 renderer restore fullscreen if DXGI leaves fullscreen (most common due to systray popups). - Fixed restoring mouse cursor when render window isn't active in DX11 renderer. - Disable resolution and vblank options in display settings when running in windowed mode (as those options are only valid when running in fullscreen). - Using Nvidia hack to get Optimus drivers to enable Nvidia GPU instead of integrated card. - Activated locks around DX11 resource creation (due to poor drivers causing crashes). - Using best latency to determinate ping kick. So if lowest ping to any other peer is above 1000ms for a period of time then the player is kicked. - Fixed initial spawn issues in conquest. - Fixed pivot on Arena floors and plywood ramp. - Tweaked light on Arena. - Increased number of permitted events to be sent per frame per ghost to 4. - Fixed spawn positions for Deathmatch modes on Docks. - Fixed incorrect Time clip in SP when in death state. - Background filler now fills entire screen when showing UI dialog. - Slight script cleanup when entering match. - Replayer mode: Added Oasis map, bangers now react to explosions). - Moved banger layers to prevent them from getting stuck inside other entities. - Voice chat implemented, able to speak to teammates. - Added voice volume control to Audio settings panel. - Added Voice mode to audio settings (disabled, manual or automatic). - Set categories to various music tracks. - Fixed a lot of uncategorized sounds. - Updated Swedish translation. - Removed Network settings panel (no longer used). - Tweaked light for free garage. - Fixed some textfields in Flash in order to fit other languages. - Panel caption is dynamically reduced in size if it doesn't fit horizontally. - Fixed Confirm button location bug in-game. - Fixed alternate arena side piece.
