Bodycam Update V0.1.3.3 - November 11, 2024

⚠️ NOTE: This update focuses on new content, while bug fixes are being handled by a specialized team and will roll out progressively. We appreciate your patience and support as we continue improving Bodycam.

NEW CONTENT

• Rome (New Map): A large, intricately designed map featuring a mix of open spaces and tight corridors. Optimized for Bomb Mode, it introduces multiple strategic planting zones to intensify tactical gameplay.
  
• Logistics (New Map): One of the smallest maps in Bodycam, tailored for Versus Mode and 1v1 Duel Mode. Designed for close-quarters combat, it ensures action-packed matches as opposing teams face off head-to-head.
  
• Oil Rig Returns: Back by popular demand, this map has been reintroduced with some incomplete features (e.g., missing floors). Improvements will continue based on community feedback.
  
• Tumblewood Temporarily Disabled: This map is currently under rework. Stay tuned for updates!

CHANGES

• Bomb Mode Zones: Added strategic A, B, and C planting zones. Planting here cuts detonation time in half, offering more tactical depth. Default planting rules remain for strategic flexibility.
  
• Versus Rounds Adjustments: Reduced the number of rounds to win from seven to five. Sides now switch after two or three rounds, depending on progress, for faster, more dynamic matches.
  
• Lighting and Shadow Fixes: Shadows are now enforced for all players, preventing unfair advantages from file manipulation while maintaining immersion.
  
• Bad Host Punishment: Hosts that leave before the match ends will now be penalized.
  
• General Map Updates: Minor tweaks and adjustments have been made to improve gameplay flow and visuals across all maps.

FIXES

• Lighting Exploits: Fixed bugs allowing players to disable shadows unfairly.
  
• Generator Timing in Zombie Mode: Resolved issues where generators activated at incorrect intervals.
  
• Collision in Pit Mode: Improved collision mechanics for smoother gameplay.
  
• Bomb Mode Timers: Adjusted planting and detonation mechanics for better balance.

OTHER CHANGES

• 8 new skins added.
  
• R point rewards and shop prices adjusted.
  
• Vaulting mechanics limited for realism and to prevent accessing unreachable spots.
  
• Teams with friends now auto-balance better.
  
• Knife knockback adjusted.
  
• Grenade kills now count properly.
  
• Fixed collision and stuck spots across all maps.
  
• "The Pit" mode renamed to "Duel."
  
• Kicking disabled in GunGame and Deathmatch modes due to abuse.
  
• Scoreboard and lobby settings improvements.
  
• Fixed labels in settings for better clarity.

RANK RESET & SEASONS (COMMUNITY SUGGESTION)
We are exploring the idea of a rank reset paired with a seasonal structure to enhance the competitive experience:

• Season Duration: Each season will last 1-2 months, with ranks resetting at the end.
  
• Seasonal Rewards: Earn exclusive skins based on your rank at the season's end.
  
• Rank History: Track your performance and ranks across previous seasons in a dedicated section.

💬 Community Question: Should we start the next season immediately (with rewards distributed later) or wait until the reward system is fully implemented? Share your thoughts in the ⁠Suggestions channel!

Thank you for your continued support, and see you on the battlefield!
