GEX Patch 5b: 03-01-13

Welcome back to GoldenEye X!  Our focus this release has been adjusting and correcting things previously problematic or flawed in patch 5a and prior.  A huge number of weapons have had their firing rates modified to match (when comparing side-by-side on console) the original guns in GE007.  Some may not be as noticeable, but others like the Sniper Rifle and Cougar Magnum should stand out.  Tons of audio effects have been replaced, making the game sound much more like how it should.  Be it subtle weapon use effects (such as planting a mine or slashing with a knife), to explosions, and even ricochets.  Your ammunition and function displays are also using a new colour scheme; yellow/orange for ammo, and green/cyan for functions.  Door operation speeds in many VR levels are now set to their proper values.  You'll find that Simulants are now much better at navigating the Caverns map, as well.  Brand new intro music and logo are both featured at the start of the game.  An optimized version of Cradle is the only new addition to the levels list.  Though due to its poor performance with many players and Sims participating all together in a match, this may not remain in future patches.  Two bonus weapons are available for use in both VR mode and missions.  The first is the Seeker (Perfect Dark's Slayer).  This launchers primary function is a Homing Missile.  Once you've put your aimer over a target, the missile fired should lock onto them.  And although not supported via emulation, the secondary function is the Guided Missile.  After you press the fire button, your view switches to that of the projectile.  The other weapon is a personal drone gun.  Simply pick one up, select it from your inventory (either through the quick-menu or pause inventory screen), and deploy it where you need automatic defenses for yourself and your team.  There are many other details we won't get into in depth, but a list has been included below.  As always, our deepest appreciation goes out to those who've continued to follow this mod.  Your support keeps us going.

Known Bugs / Glitches...

Eyelid Doors in Caverns:
Simulants, as of patch 5b, are now perfectly capable of using the eyelid and iris doors in those hexagonal walkways.  However, there is a glitch in Perfect Dark that prevents Sims from being able to shoot at opponents through an opening vertical door until it has come to a full stop.  This gives human players an unfair advantage against them.  It's up to you how you use this knowledge.

Simulants:
Since the first release, every map has been fitted with an AI Path Network.  This means that Simulants can freely roam the stages.  Also, extensions and drops have been worked into most levels, improving Sim navigation.  They are also much smarter when it comes to weapon choice and utlization.

Shotgun:
There is a multiplier value that increases the damage a Shotgun causes to other characters when used by a Simulant.  Humans are capable of firing five pellets at a time, but Sims only fire one.  This value evens the odds a little more for your computer controlled opponents.  Due to PD only having a single shotgun by default, we had to allow for a second one.  However, because of an issue that incorporating a second multiplier caused (kills not counting in mission campaign), we've had to remove the multiplier from the regular Shotgun.  Unless we can fix this, only the Automatic Shotgun will deal out more damage when in the hands of a Simulant.

Martin Hollis, 008 Simulant Partner:
Currently has female voice files during missions.  These will need to be replaced with male samples.

Headers/Dividers:
Because we wanted to have everything (or mostly everything) unlocked from the start of the game for new users, some of the menu headers and dividers may be missing.  They rely on certain flags to be set in order to be shown.  It should be fixed everywhere, but don't be surprised if something seems off.

Hangar Information PC:
The computer stationed in the Carrington Institute hangar will often crash the game.  If you attempt to preview any of the files stored on the PC, the gameplay may freeze and you'll be forced to restart.  We're not sure why this happens at this time, so you'll just have to avoid it for now.
