With the release of scripts 4.7 it's now time for yet another Bear Island update!New Stuff: • Mice now run around the base at the start of the game. Players can kill them for a little cash and to burn time while they wait for other players to join/start the game. • The top 11 players will now start the game off as distinct deer from each W3D Mod as well as a Renegade deer and Renhalo deer. • Added 4 new weapons that are purely for bragging rights: Fire Axe – A powerful melee weapon unlocked by getting over 1,000 normal animal kills. Knife – A weak melee weapon unlocked by getting over 4,000 mutant kills. Ruger 10/22 – A weak long-range instant hit weapon unlocked by playing for over 1,000 minutes. And one last weapon I am going to keep secret; Easily unlocked once you figure out what you must do. • Added 2 new items: The Portable Pumpjack, a bonus reward for completing 100 side objectives. This item gives a very slow trickle of money. Placement affects payout. The milk bottle, an item that will slowly regenerate your health after drinking it. Unlocked by completing the cow objective. • Two new objectives: Find the lost cow – returning the lost cow to the new barn (which is outside the main base) will grant the player the milk bottle. Secret objective • Added 11 new high scores for the new objectives • Voices on bear island can no longer overlap. New voices will stop old ones • The StatsWebsite has been updated to display the new scores, also added the ability to export all scores into an excel document so users can crunch that data however they like. Tweaks and Bug Fixes:• Objective [blurb]New Animals, Objectives, Ranking, bug fixes, and more![/blurb]Fixes Fixed a bug with the cougar objective that was causing a pink star to show up on the radar at 0,0,0 Turret Truck objective no longer spams objective stars Fixed a bug that could cause the side objectives to number wrong. • Many score fixes: Fixed some scores that were being worded wrong. Fixed the cougar objective not being counted as a side objective Fixed oil rigs and weapon containers not adding to proper score tracking Fixed a bug with the turret truck’s score C4 vest score fixed • Mutant attack tweaks: Minor difficulty buffs to the mutant assault (more health). Mutants no longer die when attacking non-moving objective targets. Fixed a massive bug with how mutants attacked the President of Corporate America. At some point I broke the code and many mutants surrounding the POCA were not doing damage to him. Fixed a bug causing mutants not to properly rush the POCA in a last-ditch effort before the gates close. • Wildlife Tweaks: Wildlife AI improved to avoid the player better Wildlife now rotate much faster so they can flee quicker Wildlife now gets cleaned up at the same point the last normal bears disappear. Normally, the mutants kill all the wildlife but it was previously possible to have some manage to hide and live until the end of the round, which could only waste networking at a best-case scenario. • Miscellaneous: Fixed the billboard LOD’s so they do not disappear super early Updated billboard advertising Turrets and alarms now use the new physics type for texture projectors for lights. Cleared out 127 unused animal animations Updated the credits to include people I missed Added the landing animations for all animal weapon poses as the engine now uses Land animations besides the A0L# set. Massive VIS improvements. Fixed dazzles on the factory disappearing too soon.[blurb]New weapons, objectives, animals, bug fixes, and more![/blurb] Final Boss’ head can now be shot. It was a bug that it could not be hit previously. Friendly AI have had massive improvements to their kill system, so they get kill cash properly. Reduced the voice spam for killing 10 animals in a row. It now only plays once per game per player. Massive spawn system improvements so the player will not spawn in sight of the Final Boss. Reduced the payout of the engineer objective being they are so useful. Tweaked the safe teleport distances. Players should no longer spawn on the other side of walls if their spot was blocked.

Roughly 5 years ago Bear Island was first released (roughly because I didn’t use an SVN back then so all I have to go on is the first commit to the scripts .git), since then many have claimed it was their favorite map; so, for its 5-year anniversary I’ve decided to do a massive number of bug fixes and major improvements! New/Improved Features: • The Armored car has been reworked into a supply vehicle (more details below). • Major improvements to the boss fight system (more details below). • Added a new objective, this is available before the midpoint of the game. • Added 96 voice files to the game! • Cougars now make an appearance in the fight! • Purchasing vehicles now marks their drop location with a signal flare. • Score system now tracks the last played time of players, this is used on the Stats Website (http://jeradsnetwork.midcoip.net:10025/StatsWebsite/BearHunter) for Bear Island. • AI Engineers will no longer repair vehicles that are empty, this will keep them from wasting time with vehicles that have been forgotten when turrets and occupied player vehicles are taking heavy damage. • The bonus objectives have been reordered to go closest to the base to furthest, in addition objectives that are hidden are now numbered as they’re discovered instead of being hard coded. • Wild deer now travel in herds and flee in herds to more accurately reflect reality. • Wild deer now have two 3d models, bucks and does. • Tiny Deer now have two death animations, so they don’t always fall over the same way. • Water now fades to black to more accurately follow the shoreline so players can easier tell where not to walk. • Made some major improvements to the vis system especially when inside the main base. Bug Fixes: • Fixed a single clump of grass near the main North East gate that had projectile collisions. • Fixed several objectives that were named wrong or referenced beta concepts. • Entering the water now correctly kills the player, not sure when this broke but its been broken a while, the score system also now correctly records water deaths. • Fixed a bug with the objectives system that caused players to be unable to see objective updates once they are out of lives. • Fixed two high scores that were updating for all players even if they didn’t play in a round of Bear Hunter. • Revised how the game determines of all players are dead during the final boss, this change was made because if the last player suicided while all the other players were dead the boss would derp and just sit there, making the game take forever to end. • Player now faces the direction the spawn points on the map were placed, don’t know how I missed that issue all these years. • One of the objectives had an “…” (Thanks MS Word) instead of “...” which caused it not to display. • Renamed a high score that was calling AI “ai” instead of “AI” • Fixed a bug that allowed players to leave the base and not die during the final boss fight. • Mutant aiming now ignores damage animations. • Reduced payout of the painkillers objective to 100 per player. • AI now properly targets black bears instead of aiming at the feet. Armored Supply Truck Rework: • What was once a boring armored vehicle now takes the role of a resupply truck for infantry and vehicles. • The vehicle now supports vehicles and infantry within 75 meters of it while its lights are on, the driver can see the range of this effect. • Having the lights on does attract attention of the mutants (this is old functionality, but it now serves a point to have the lights on). • Units must wait 15 seconds after taking damage to receive HP, it takes 1 minute to refill the health and armor bar with one truck. • Infantry must wait 7.5 seconds to regen ammo, it takes 15 seconds to refill the gun the infantry is holding if it has 0 ammo. This effect also refills the weapon crate weapons. Boss Fight Improvements: • Improved the AI of the final boss, it will now remove C4 if it sees it as a bigger threat than its currently target, so players, make sure to hide the C4 now. • Boss AI now thinks 10 times a second instead of just 4 to better improve its target selection. • Fixed a bug in the boss AI that allowed it to attack the President of Corporate America before all players were dead. • Boss no longer plays damage animations; this reduces the chances of its shots going wild. • Spawn system now only spawns players near PTs during the boss fight. • Spawn points are only used if no enemies can see the point (although if it plays out that enemies can see all the spawn points it will choose the one furthest from all enemies, boss takes priority in weighting here). 2.0.0 is now live on the Crazy Coop Server.
