It's been a busy month. 

This update touches nearly every part of the game - new prop abilities, a completely redesigned HUD, a full slash command system, long-standing movement bugs, and a significant networking overhaul under the hood. Here's everything that changed.

The abilities no longer have any cooldowns and are instant. I was skeptical at first on trying this kind of change, but it made the game feel a lot more fast-paced.

Props now have access to a new ability: Swap!

With 3 charges, you can randomly disguise into a completely different prop model pulled at random from the current map.

If a Hunter is zeroing in on you, burn a charge and become something else entirely.

Typing / will show an autocomplete popup listing available commands.

The following commands are available to all players:

The following are host-only:

Both / and ! work as command prefixes.

I finally added /rtv to Prop Hunt.

Once enough players vote (50% of the server by default), a map vote kicks off immediately. 

To prevent abuse at the start of a round, there's a 60-second window before RTV becomes available. 
If RTV has already passed or a map vote is already running, you'll get a message telling you so.

The in-game HUD has had a redesign.

The old central timer panel has been replaced with a full-width team display: props on the left, hunters on the right, each showing avatars for every player with a visual indicator of who is alive and who is dead, plus a live count. The round number and timer sit in the center.

The Limp stamina bar has been added back in to indicate how much stamina you have left before unlimping.

Maps in both the server browser and the in-round map vote panel are now sorted into three tiers:

This makes it easier to find quality maps when creating a server and in the Map vote.

Round length now scales automatically with the physical size of the loaded map.

The map's bounding box is measured at load time and classified into small, medium, or large, with each bucket getting a different default duration (2, 3, and 4.5 minutes respectively). 

Height is factored in at half the weight of horizontal size, since vertical scale matters in Prop Hunt but less so than floor area.

A calculation error in Props was causing the minimum height a prop could occupy to be wrong, resulting in props either sinking into the floor or floating slightly above it depending on the prop model's pivot point.

This has been fixed.

This past month I really got a kick in the ass and decided to fix Prop Hunt and make it one of the more polished experiences on the s&box platform, because I never really felt happy with it and didn't think it was in the right place yet, but it now is. If people started telling me it's good, then that's enough validation for me to think it's good.

 Next month or so, we'll be focusing on adding skins and proper progression and leveling to earn skins through means of gameplay and XP. I'm very excited for the moment when I'm able to share these new things with you.

Enjoy!
