- Spectator Polish and Bug Fixes (8/16) - 16 August 2017
Loot no longer glows in the distance when picked up by an enemy. Added Header GUI to make it clear when you aren't respawning Smoothed out spectator-mode, but it won't be 1:1 for a while for performance reasons. The crosshair is now correctly implemented in spectator mode. Clicking the mouse buttons changes target in spectator mode. Fixed a bug where killing yourself prevented spectating. Fixed a bug where trading with another player could prevent spectating. Polished Camera Transitions You no longer spectate other players momentarily before respawning in skirmish. The escape menu will show up above all other elements now. Fixed some bugs with state transitions and missing GUI. In-Game Timers are way more accurate and account for lag-spikes Fixed a bug which caused enemies to have glocks instead of their actual weapons.

Added text to help with game-state transition. Added Spectator GUI and text. Joining into a game in progress will treat you as if you have died.

- Accuracy and Last Man Standing (8/9) - 9 August 2017
The crosshair now expands to show the average aim-cone of your weapons Weapons now have individual accuracy statistics Each shot decreases a weapon's accuracy. Implemented a basic last-man-standing Game mode Added Respawn prevention and perma-death text. Rewrote Respawn system Respawn timer counts down. There should be way less bugs with players getting stuck in between their multiple states. When everyone leaves, LMS will default back to skirmish. When 4 players join, the server will default to LMS. Improved crosshair graphics Added weapon aim cones which allow for more weapon variation. Bullets will hit further from center based on weapon accuracy-value. Weapons have customized stats which determine how the other weapon will be affected by each shot. Projectile weapons will remain 100% accurate. Loot drops spawn over time during the skirmish game-mode Loot drops will not spawn if ther…

- Weapons Tune-up and Reticle Begin (8/8) - 9 August 2017
Added a basic crosshair, which I'm trying a few things with. Added Bullet-hole things so you can see your accuracy. Added Bad-shot indicators to show where your bullets will land if not on the crosshair. Rewrote all of the shooting interactions between server and client. Combined a lot of excess weapons code into smaller modules. Fixed a bug where enemies gun shots weren't coming through. Laser pointers are back and upgraded. They should be accuracte and way less annoying. Laser sights, gun_shots and particle effect locations on weapons are pixel-perfect. Added Editor tools for making future weapons easier to develop. Shooting, reloads, weapon-switching, and laser-sights should all be in sync. Adjusted projectile-weapon aim mechanics. Fixed a bug which caused players to stay shooting/aiming after death. Enemies are no long floating just above the ground. Destroyed the old laser-controll…
