v.2.17.11

Caution

This release contains changes related to settings (config.ini file), be sure to double-check your existing settings.

CHANGED

• The configuration file is now reloaded when doing an asset hot-reload, settings that require a restart will still require a restart.
• Changed SOUNDPANNING_STRENGTH, SOUNDATTENUATION_MIN, LOW_HEALTH_SATURATION_FACTOR, LOW_HEALTH_THRESHOLD, LOW_HEALTH_HURTLEVEL1_THRESHOLD and LOW_HEALTH_HURTLEVEL2_THRESHOLD settings to be more consistent with SFD's settings, they are now saved as 0 to 100 rather than 0-1. This also fixes some cases where they are read incorrectly due to SFD's code expecting a different culture format.

FIXED

• Resolved the debug mouse stuck permanently as enabled in offline mode.
• Resolved /EXEC not running scripts callbacks to trigger script commands.
