1.0.5 - The controls update



Changelog

  • New aiming action.
    -When you click a target with the right mouse button while equipping a firearm, it will aim a target. While aiming, goon will follow the target and keep the firearm pointed at it.
    -You need to first aim a target before you can shoot it. This does not apply to melee weapons.
    -You can now also drag from a character and end your dragging on top of a target to start aiming at it.
  • Added lines from goon to target to indicate the action you are about to execute.
  • Q is now always mapped to fists(holster weapon).
  • E,R,T are now always mapped to weapons in order of your inventory.
  • Inventory quick select keys(Q,E,R,T) do not toggle between equip and unequip anymore, they only equip target weapon. This should make controlling a group and using quick keys easier.
  • Updated controls reference screen.
  • If you have completed an objective, it will now be properly shown as completed when you go to a heist for a subsequent time.
  • Added source assets as an example for modders.
  • Fixed a crash that was happening if a font or a sprite was not found from a spritesheet.
  • Support for French and German characters in fonts
  • Unique icon for improvised explosive
  • Fixed overlapping doors in bank and arcade
  • Added "staff only" signs to some off-limits areas
