The upcoming update was known about a week before its release. On the 29th—seven days after the previous post—the update itself was released, which will be discussed in this report.
Moving on to the main highlights from the developers’ post, we emphasize the following: multiple animation fixes were introduced for the episodes of Half-Life 2, if you have them; a search feature was added to the add-on presets and the spawn icon editor menu, enhancing comfort in certain aspects; and for add-on developers, a new particle editor became available, which is identical to those used in new Source Engine games.
Among the less significant new features, the addition of last visit information for each server in the server browser was noted, as well as tooltips for objects in the entity spawn list tab.
In terms of improvements, the following was done: a new batch of map icons for Team Fortress 2; extensive localization of the entity spawn menu and other text, for which the community of players is thanked, specifically one of the Personae Gratae, Unknown Developer, who also contributed to the aforementioned localization; and another improvement for gravity gun enthusiasts—the so-called “ball catchers” now properly accept energy balls launched by the gravity gun.
Overall, the update does not differ in any significant way from most of those released before it, bringing adjustments to improve the quality of life for players.
