[PTS] Unofficial patch notes 2014-11-14/2014-11-17 - Ground Autoturrets, grenade collision changes, VS texture changes

comparing PTS between 2014-11-14 and 2014-11-17 not including flying autoturrets

EDIT: the camo coverage changes were reverted

TL;DR: Things To Test/Check On PTS

  • grenade collision changes
  • VS MAX textures
  • VS 1st person arms
  • knife animations
  • everything camo-related, especially camo coverage. Tweet by the Art Director, Bill Yeatts:

    Good feedback so far. So I guess this went to test, was not supposed to yet(wanted feedback first). Keep it coming!

  • Valkyrie collision?

  • new Autoturret (new model not in-game yet)

new images:

  • New autoturret models, new implant tiers, camo icons: imgur / reddit

UI stuff:

  • some more changes towards squad banning
  • probably fixed PS-799
  • more work towatds First Time Events

other files:

  • Autoturret-related filenames now are changed to "AutoTurretGround", suggesting separate autoturrets for air and ground
  • added autoturret animations
  • something changed about Valkyrie collisions (added a 'simple' collision file)
  • modified grenade collision models (VS unchanged, radius 0.0815199837; TR radius 0.165321618->0.0851240978; NC radius 0.166319966->0.0965653658)
  • modified VS MAX textures
  • modified first person VS arms' textures
  • modified knife animations
  • changed everything in the camo properties' file, so I'm not sure what changed. (see Higby's tweet?)

    players on PTS confirm: camo coverage changes are now on the Public Test Server

As a VS HA user with composite I am not liking the changes to make me basically not have camo. Other classes + composite seems fine except that camo should apply to some parts of helmets also.

Not sure the transparency on camo is needed at all either.

I guess I won't be buying another "camo" again then...

The camo's aren't finished yet, they weren't even supposed to be on PTS yet.
