Changes
What's changed in Project Lizard with each update.
Added
6 changes-
Player Bots - You can now add up to 12 Bots in your lobby to play Project Lizard with. They can play as hunters and even hiders. They can paint, pose, hide, run away, climb and pretty much what an average player can. Don't expect them to be professionals though
-
New Character Type Selection - Added in the Citizen 2.0 Model in the round selection alongside your player size. You can change your preferred model in the General Settings tab
-
Hunter Shotgun effects - Added in new camera effects to simulate recoil instead of it feeling so lifeless and still
-
Host Migration - Host leaving the game no longer kicks everyone and should continue as intended
-
Animation / Pose smoothing - the animations are no longer snap instantly between each other
-
New HUD scale option - Available in the General Settings tab
Improved
11 changes-
Redesigned Lobby - New lighting, effects and improved the dripping paint designs along with better materials for the walls, roof and floor
-
Improved Player Painting accuracy - When painting on some spots on the player model such as under the arms, around the eyes or the back. It would be very finicky, now it should behaving correctly in these areas to get better detail in your painting
-
Improved Player Animations / Poses - I have redone the hider and hunter idle, walking and running animations. They are much smoother and don't flicker in between the loop
-
Improved First Person Camera - walking against walls and other objects no longer lets you see through them. The Players body mesh no longer shows when looking down
-
Third person player camera no longer can clip through walls and other objects. Freecam remains the same
-
Paint Mode Improvements - Gave the Brush cursor a cleaner look that no longer clips through your character and reduced fps drops when painting by making the paint droplet and splash effects smaller and faster
-
Map Loading improvements - switching or cancelling maps no longer continues to download the previous map, and the map picker collapses once a map is chosen
-
Tab Menu Improvements - about 25% bigger, features a proper scroll bar and cleaned up the map selection in Host Settings
-
Hunter Ammo Counter Improvements - Completely remade the design of the ammo counter, the buckshot shells now match the look of the rest of the Hud and are properly greyed out when empty
-
Pose Wheel Improvements - about 30% Bigger in size. added in proper directional input and fixed pose numbers overlapping
-
Improved wording on some menus and popups that might have caused confusion

Removed
1 change-
removed older paint decal effects that were replaced with new better performing ones
Added
4 changes-
Added the Hider Performance Leaderboard, Hiders now earn points through the round by being in the proximity, line of sight or taunting near Hunters. Updates instantly for all hiders, but only every 30 seconds for Hunters. Just the subtle clue that helps. And of course. it is all toggleable configurable in host settings
-
Added new stats, and 5 more achievements to unlock
-
Added torso look leaning to hiders, looking up or down will move your characters torso with it. so they don't appear so still. Toggleable in Host Settings
-
Added the option to like players poses directly from the player tab menu so you don't need to be within a small proximity to do so
Improved
3 changes-
Improved the leaderboards to now display more stats with new subtle animations and rotate between new stats
-
Improved the 'Too Deep' detection to pick up on hiders that are in hollow walls. previously hiders could hide most of themselves in walls or objects without the warning popping up. This is something I will continue to improve, It isn't 100% reliable still
-
Improved the climbing logic when on a map climbable object. (ladder, steps, ect) It now uses the s&boxes climbing logic instead of only relying on ours. You no longer need to press space to climb on these. Again, this isn't fully reliable and there might be some issues
Fixed
4 changes-
Fixed an issue with the leaderboards not displaying updated stats correctly
-
Fixed an issue that caused the 'Too Deep' warning to stay on your screen if you were shot by a Hunter while it was showing
-
Fixed issues with the 'Too Deep' Warning not showing up correctly when a certain amount of the hider is buried into a wall
-
Fixed issues that caused hiders to get flung through the floor/walls while trying to use a ladder or some sort of climbable object on a map. Not confident this is fully gone. I will look into it more
Known Issues
2 changes-
When using a maps climbing object, such as a ladder it can be buggy if you use the S&Boxes default climbing logic and Project Lizards Climbing logic at once. I recommend only using Space to climb on walls, celings and other objects and letting the Default climbing logic do the work on a maps ladders, steps ect.
-
The citizen Model (Terry) remains very finicky. Painting in certain spots such as under the arms or the upper back can cause paint to apply in areas your cursor isn't even hovering over. I will try to improve this as much as possible but there is only so much I can do without outright making a new model.
Added
5 changes-
Added hider size options, when the match is starting all players can choose to make their character 1x, 1.5x or 1.8x bigger. This doesn't apply to hunters and can be toggled on or off
