• The Ambience Update - 12 November 2024

  The Ambience Update Release I’m excited to announce that the Ambience Update is now live, bringing enhanced dynamics in lighting and weather to Broke Protocol. This update introduces a darker tone and more realistic effects, creating a richer and more immersive experience. Many of these changes are backported from another project, with more improvements on the horizon. Here are the details: Dynamic Lighting Servers will now feel significantly different depending on the time of day. With all platforms now using the same shading model, I can finally introduce dynamic lighting that is consistent for everyone. Nights will be much darker, with streetlights and cars illuminating the roadways. Servers can adjust light intensities using new lighting commands, ensuring maps are well-lit. New Weather Effects Weather is now more dynamic, featuring windswept rain and lightning effects. Enhanced par…

• Hotfix #4 - 11 September 2024

  Apartment loading bugs fixed. Recommend both servers and clients update.

• The Optimization Update - 9 September 2024

  The Optimization Update Release The Optimization update releases today and it’s more than just a code cleanup. There are very powerful new features for map and mod authors, server customization, new effects, and support for virtually unlimited map sizes. Let’s cover how these new features will affect the future of Broke Protocol and modding. Client Level Streaming Client level streaming has finally been added to Broke Protocol. This is the feature in most open-world games that loads and unload parts of the level based on distance. This is all done automatically to save memory on lower end devices but as a bonus it means that map authors can create absolutely gargantuan maps without concern for memory or rendering limitations even on mobile. Full UI and HUD Modding HUD and full UI modding is now here. Previously missing UI assets are now in the BPResources modding package so modders can…

• Minor BPResources Update for Modders - 28 July 2024

  Small update pushed to Steam for modders with a fixed BPResources.unitypackage. Fixed selective builds In AssetBundleBrowser Fixed display error when 0 defined AssetBundles

• The Immersion Update - 27 July 2024

  The Immersion Update Release BP has been in development for almost a decade (imagine). Sometimes it’s important to take a step back and see where the game could be elevated to modern standards. And immersion is one aspect I want to pay attention to over the next few updates. First steps are better damage and camera animations. So, let’s get into the nitty gritty of The Immersion Update 1.41. Vehicle Deformation Vertex damage is now a part of all vehicle damage models. It’s a simple and effective trick all the way from GTA4 (or Mafia if you remember). This allows full deformation of vehicles including boats and aircraft depending on damage levels. It’s fully compatible with published mods too. The first implementation is a rather simple effect but will likely be updated and improved over time, so feedback is welcome. Camera Animations Until now, players seemed to glide over surfaces as i…

• The UI Update – Major Engine Upgrade - 13 June 2024

  The UI Update Release This one took a while, but the UI Update finally releases today. It’s more than just UI changes though, 1.40 marks a milestone engine upgrade to Unity 6 and the end of Early Access. This update tidies up many loose ends with fixes and improvements and paves the way for improved workflows for both developer and modders. Complete UI Rewrite The entire game UI has been rewritten using a data-driven approach. Although most of the interface will structurally look similar to before, there’s a better separation of presentation and logic as well as stylesheets to provide unified theme management. To put it bluntly, future UI work won’t be painstaking as the old component-based workflow and should perform better as an added bonus. World Builder Improvements The World Builder had major rework and optimizations done. I still need to do another styling pass to resize things a…

• The Physics Update - 28 December 2023

  The Physics Update Release The dubious physics in Broke Protocol has needed some love for quite a while, and now while Unity is updating its core physics API, I thought it’d be a good time to overhaul BP’s physics implementation as well. Everything from ragdolls, to gun handling, and even water buoyancy has been adjusted and tweaked for more predictable and better quality reactivity. There are some other important details to get into so let’s cover those too: Unified Physics Overhaul Until now, BP’s physics had been segmented among classes with different handling and reactions. Client-side destructibles lacked buoyancy, only entities were reactive to explosions, and drag was applied differently depending on type of object. But now, physics reactions are unified and handled the same across all classes of objects. Explosions, buoyancy, and drag is applied consistently and predictably acro…

• The Railway Update - 6 November 2023

  The Railway Update Release Trains have been promised for a while and the wait is finally over. A fully working metro system is in place, and mappers can easily create their own using new World Builder objects. The rideable metro spans the entire Default map, but it should be straightforward for mappers to copy and paste the self-contained system into their own map. Trains are spawned randomly and can be either AI or human controlled – including switching tracks. There are some extra added features to complement this new transport class so let’s cover those next. Trains and Public Transit A transit system wouldn’t be very useful without passengers. So AI passengers are randomly spawned in trains, cars, or any vehicle for that matter. The implementation is available in the LifeSource Plugin so admins and modders can adjust spawn rates or any other parameters to best fit their server. Care…
