This is another mixed bag of things we have done over the last few days:

1. Another improvement to looting, this time a move acknowledgement system, so the client knows if the server hasn?t acknowledged a move
2. Chat filter to remove profanities. The list of disallowed words isn?t yet very comprehensive: let me know if you see any coming up that need adding. You can turn the feature off from Preferences (which is available from the game top-menu)
3. Modifications to the Scattered Hills map, and to NPC object avoidance, to stop the NPC ?lemming? behaviour (hopefully)
4. Modifications to the spawn locations on Scattered Grounds, Pathway To Darkness and Gates of Badlands
5. The three ?Lost Trail? maps, which form the new route between Elmsfield and Gateway TS have been added. You can only use this route with smaller vehicles (those which have a total capacity of 300 or less)
6. The new Big Pickup (see image below)
7. Slipstreaming/drafting has been added, as discussed
8. Handbrakes have been added, as discussed. (You'll see a new checkbox on the steering wheel panel)
9. Further improvements to the vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-terrain collision system (I have been tweaking/modifying these for the last 2+ years already..) What I?m specificially trying to improve here is: (1) reduction of ?juddering? that some vehicles have when colliding with the terrain; (2) reduction of larger vehicles passing inside each other; (3) removal of vehicles getting stuck together.

Here's the new pickup:

The clickable area for this is actually a little too big. If you click the checkbox for following yer car, it enables the handbrake.
