Server owners please update your servers!

Code

• All surfaceprops, propdata, soundscapes, etc. are now recursively loaded through the data folder, this allows modders to simply add their stuff here without the need to update a manifest file, or override existing files.
• Improved workshop logic for dedicated servers, improved the verboseness.
• Removed all AI node crap, from now on only NAV is used. Update your custom maps if you have not yet added NAV!

• Coldsnap will reduce enemy movement speed by 45% and force the enemy to walk, if running.
• All default soundsets are now available for each character.
• You can now view quests + progress while spectating.
• Firstperson body will not render if your view is rendered through a camera.
• Disabled bloom effects when view is rendered through a camera.
• Fixed armor damage pain sound, it was overriden by the default pain sound.
• Improved player animation state blending, especially for the local player, less glitchy leg movement, proper YAW, etc.
• Added a lost survivor soundset made by Seoras back in the day.
• Added an option to enable automatic reload of weapons.

• Updated credits logic, you can now increase/decrease the scroll speed by using mouse scroll, also fixed the layout.
• Excluded maps can now show proper loading screens.

• Added npc_bandit_leader, npc_police, npc_riot and npc_swat (plus static versions).

• Added allow jump, and force static option to npc_custom_actor.
• Fixed NPC auto-fire shotgun OPness.
• Overhauled npc_custom_actor AI.
• Fixed zombie NPCs wall hacking issues.
• Improved overall zombie attack logic, they can reach you in trickier areas.
• Fred can no longer walk thru military or bandit NPCs.
• Fixed ai schedule route stuff if interruptability is set to Death, any interruptions will not cause the AI to break.
• Added support for soundset override in the model override, defined in the maps script. Useful if you want the npc to use an entirely new soundset.
• Crawling zombies are now non solid for all NPCs and players.
• Improved zombie door breaking AI a bit, they will no longer randomly attack doors, only if the door obstructs their NAV path.
• Fixed npc_custom_actor fire rate with certain weapons.

• Added filter_damage_type, this can be used to filter entities based on classification.
• Fixed messy smart_trigger outputs.
• It is now possible to disabled the inventory item rotation effect by setting DisableRotationFX to 1 in the script for the item. Disabling the effect will also set the item to spawn using the orientation in hammer, and will revert to the ang_off_* ones when dropped.
• Radius glow color can now be changed through LocalGlow R G B A.
• Fixed +use hierarchy, sometimes if an inventory item was dropped into an ammo box or some other larger non solid entity you would not be able to pickup the item.
• Improved zombie volume tracing.
• Fixed item_ammo_box +use trolling.
• A thrown propane tank will have a red'ish glow outline rather than blue'ish, implying it can be detonated!
