  • Accessories can have their vertex color changed (0-255)

Internal

  • Code is currently very messy, a restructure will be implemented soon with clearer code comments and generally cleaner code

Changelog

Added

  • Sections for both clothing and for outfit saving (next update)

Internal

  • Started to write code comments better explaining parts of code that could be confusing to read

  • Ability to edit custom outfits
  • Ability to delete custom outfits

Internal

  • Accessory frames are now sorted alphabetically
  • “insertAccessory” is now its own method
  • Accessories now have their asset id stored as an attribute
  • Code for this is very, VERY messy, both locally and on the server, so try not to mess with it too much

Update 5 - Full Release

Changelog

Added

  • Added car spawning / customization
    • This makes heavy use of tags, specifically “OpenCSOM_Primary”, “OpenCSOM_Secondary”, and “OpenCSOM_Interior”
    • Vehicles folder located in ServerStorage
    • I didn’t make a custom chassis or anything, but you can add your own if you want. The only thing there is the motorcycle which is a free model
  • Added customizable animations
    • Animations folder located in ReplicatedStorage
  • Added character reloading
  • Added a brand new, fully customizable and accurate time / date system
  • Added region popups
    • Tagging a BasePart as “OpenCSOM_Region” will allow you to create a region, and giving it the string attribute of “RegionName” will allow you to change the name that pops up when entered
  • Added a new intro screen
  • Added a configuration menu located in ReplicatedStorage
    • With this, you can now change the max amount of accessories and outfits in your game
    • This also gives you the ability to sequence your own custom intro

Internal

  • Fixed issue where text would scale poorly on higher-resolution screens
  • Clamped minimum text size to 10 for smaller screens
  • Fixed issue where accessories would not be added all at once during loading
  • Fixed issue where saves could be created only using whitespace characters
  • Fixed issue where textures would not load if they were not given an exact ImageId
  • Fixed issue where name changing had an excessive delay
  • Fixed weird scaling of the “Open GUI” button on some screens
  • Completely rewrote the datastore code from the previous update to make it far more reliable, and far easier to use

Update 6 - Gun Factory

Changelog

Added

  • MeganGuns weapon system
    • 2 template guns: Rifle and Shotgun, both fully configured
    • Lots of behind the scenes work went into making these guns fully configurable through attributes, making them very drag-and-drop in nature. More information can be found ingame as to how to properly configure and rig a gun.

Internal

  • Fixed regions not functioning in very specific edge cases
  • Fixed animations staying loaded on your client’s animator after you’ve finished using them
