Just Cause 2: Großes Update für die Mehrspieler-Modifikation

Die Mehrspieler-Modifikation, an der ein kleines Team aus Hobby-Entwicklern schon eine ganze Zeit lang unter dem Namen JC-MP werkelt, hat ein großes Update bekommen. Die Version 0.2 beinhaltet nach Angaben auf der offizellen Webseite folgende zentrale Neuerungen und Ergänzungen:

1. Scriptable Client Actors erlaubt die Erstellung von computergesteuerten Nebenfiguren auf Client-Seite.

2. Die Modelle sämtlicher Zivilisten können jetzt verwendet werden.

3. Depth-Tested Rendering ermöglicht jetzt Veränderungen innerhalb der Spielwelt, indem z.B. ein berechneter Schriftzug in die Kulisse / Spielwelt eingefügt wird.

4. Basic Unicode Support, um mehr Sprachen verwenden und darstellen zu können.

5. Überarbeitetes Hauptmenü, um schnelleren Zugriff auf favorisierte Server zu bekommen.

6. Steam Achievements.

Außerdem hat man u.a. die Client-/Server-Kommunikation verbessert sowie einige schwere Bugs behoben.

Hier das komplette Changelog für Version 0.2 im Original:
