Base

• Extensions: Added VTF API
  • Drastically improves the reliability/quality/performance of images downloaded from the internet for use as in-game textures!
  • They're also cached so you don't have to redownload them every time, and Paintables will load instantly if cached!
  • You can set the maximum amount of storage they'll use by adjusting the Downloaded Texture Storage Limit setting in the Scoreboard (default is 2GB)
  • Please note that the Downloaded Texture Storage Limit setting discards textures that are oldest first, and only does so upon disconnecting. This means if you set the limit to 0MB, your texture cache will be cleared on exit, but we'll still download and mount textures if needed to correctly display whatever's on screen
• Extensions: Added EntityNW
  • Drastically improves the reliability of networking for entities!
  • Fixes NEARLY ALL networking bugs we've been dealing with since the launch of the Apartments feature

• Admin: Fixed player names not getting updated on the client if it's changed mid-game
• Locations: Specifying nothing for a custom location name now resets it to the default
