Bêta 1.05 pour No More Room In Hell

Cela fait quelques temps que nous n'avions pas eu de nouvelles de No More Room in Hell, un mod à base de co-op, de survie et de zombies pour Half-Life 2. Est-ce pour relancer l'intérêt autour de leur titre suite à la sortie de Steam Greenlight que les développeurs ont décidé de publier la version 1.05 de leur projet ? Peut-être. D'autant plus qu'ils ont soumis leur candidature via la nouvelle fonction de la plateforme de Valve et ont déjà recueilli 29% d'avis positifs, les plaçant quatrième projet le plus soutenu.

Cette nouvelle version peut être obtenue via Desura ou en téléchargeant la version complète depuis notre FTP. Le changelog quant à lui est repris ci-dessous, non-traduit du fait de sa longueur. Parmi les modifications les plus marquantes, notons notamment l'apparition de nouveaux éléments dans le HUD ou encore l'ajout de deux nouvelles cartes.

Code

• New HUD elements: weight based radial selection menu with ammo counts
• Ammo carrying capacity is now based on weight
• Removed ammo count from indicator
• Implemented audible ammo checks
• Removed voice command text from chat
• Implemented an optional subtitle system in place of the voice command text chat
• Backward movement speed reduced
• Added a 5% to 10% chance that damage to a zombie can stagger it back with sustained fire
• Melee weapons now have a chance to stagger zombies; bladed weapons have a 10% chance of knocking a zombie back with a quick attack (35% for a charged attack) while in comparison, blunt weapons have a 40% chance for quick attacks (and 80% for charged attacks)
• Melee weapon quick attacks now use up stamina; how much stamina used is based on the weapon itself (ex: sledgehammers use more strength, while a baseball bat doesn't)
• Shoving and melee attacks won't use stamina if they don't hit anything (zombies, the ground, etc.)
• Non-kid zombies now have a chance of falling over and reanimating instead of dying if not killed by a headshot
• Bullet penetration through zombies for high caliber rifles and pistols
• Various tweaks to preexisting stamina values
• Added skill shot with pistols - standing still in iron sights for a time will trigger the mode with visual overlay allowing for increased shot damage
• Player now has a chance to bleed out when taking damage, causing damage over time and increasing stamina jump cost
• Initial FMOD Implementation
• Set sv_master_legacy_mode to 0
• Delayed navmesh loading: Servers won't take as long to switch maps
• Optimized Maglite's dynamic lighting
• Fixed various minor bugs, both client and server related
• Added an « Advanced » button in the Multiplayer Options tab, allowing for easy toggling of preexisting commands (Toggable ironsights, etc.)
• Initial implementation of the following localization files: French, German, Portuguese, Russian
• Dead/late joining players can now respawn in the next wave in Survival Mode, regardless if the last 5 zombies in the previous wave were killed in time
• Respawning players in Survival Mode will come back in with 50% health
• Added holster command (in Keyboard Options)
