We've just released 1.1.5! With this update we bring you Steam multiplayer, the C.Y.G.O.N Tempest from GRIP and brand new engine customization options for custom ships!

Steam Multiplayer

• The game still uses peer to peer when using Steam networking, making whoever starts the lobby the host of the game. When this person quits, the lobby will be closed and you'll be booted back to the menu
• Because the game has to relay data through Steam, increased network lag in comparison to direct IP should be expected

C.Y.G.O.N Tempest

Modding Improvements

Changelog

• Missing types in assemblies can now be handled, allowing code mods that are dependant on other code mods to be loaded and used
• Added the option to turn off environment reflections
• The default floor hugger camera view and field of view are now their own options
• Custom tracks are now loaded as the main scene. This allows custom track creators to now make use of specific Unity features like baked occlusion culling.
• Custom tracks are now loaded asynchronously and report the loading progress.

• The kick menu navigation is now manually assigned when the UI is generated, preventing you from selecting other UI elements outside of it while it's open
• Fixed not having any sound packs installed softlocking the audio options menu when attempting to save settings

• Implemented Steamworks networking
• [Config] is now shown next to players in the lobby that are selecting ships or in the options menu.
• The lobby menu now only reloads ships for players that have changed instead of reloading every ship.
• Fixed various soft locks caused by the ship selection overlay and options menu
• The lobby countdown is now cancelled when leaving a lobby
• Collisions are now disabled by default
• The donator liveries now display for people who don't have them

• Remade the autopilot disengage from scratch. The autopilot will now continue to run and fade out the AI steering, giving you time to gradually adjust steering as it hands control back over to you.

• Added the C.Y.G.O.N Tempest
• Updated all drag ships with new engine effects
• Added 2 internal custom ship modules (these can be assigned using the Custom Ship Module setting in custom ships):

    • Manages the engine colors (orange when no power, white when at max power, blue when boosting). This is designed for use with a pre-colored texture such as the Tempest flame texture
    • Manages mini turbo exhausts for any engine with a reference name of turbo
  • INTERNAL_TEMPEST
    • Same as INTERNAL_DRAG but plays the new flameboost sound when hitting speed pads in 2159/floor hugger

• Added the assets used for the Tempest engines (BallisticNGTools/BallisticNG Assets/Ships/Default Effects)
• Added engine sounds for the Tempest and Barracuda Model 0 (BallisticNGTools/BallisticNG Assets/Ships/Default Engine Sounds)
