Cash_Out has been updated to 0.14.0.0!

A major patch has been released after a year. Sorry for the huge wait, a lot of things slowed me down this time. The game should be smoother after this patch.
One huge takeaway with this update is that it should be much smoother. The lighting system was extremely unoptimized, based on testing it was the leading cause for framerate dips (on one computer, simply determining how light the area was was contributing to half the processing power in a frame). Along with that, graphical settings were tweaked so that brightness/saturation isn't disabled on the lowest setting, that wasn't really impacting framerate at all.)

Along with that, one major problem people were having was with the multiplayer. Some time in the last year, Valve changed the way the networking functioned. Previously they weren't capping incoming/outgoing bandwith, but they are now. The current system is extremely unoptimized and thus was getting throttled. I added a bandage patch to fix this for now, it may not work with 3 or more players but should be good enough for now. I will be changing this next patch.

I did a lot with modding too, it should run considerably smoother as a result. I'll be pushing a patch for the mod tools in a couple of days, there are some things that have to be cleaned up first.

Here are the patch notes for this patch.

Indexed asset names on compile, when calling assets, the game no longer compares strings on runtime. (Calling and comparing strings was around 8x slower than comparing indexes, overall this is a large boost to more complicated level packs.)
Note: Due to the way that assets are loaded, the order in which the ModSystem file is loaded will likely be wrong for previous mods, the Authoring Tools has been updated to fix this.

Added the following commands.

• then(createlist,index) - Creates a list data system that can be interacted with.
  
• then(addlist,index,value) - Adds a value to the list.
  
• then(setlist,index,position,value) - Changes a value to the list.
  
• then(deletelist,index,value) - Deletes the value in the list at that position.
  
• then(sortlist,index,"ascending ,descending ,shuffle") - Sorts the list.
  
• then(creategrid,index,width,height) - Creates a grid data system that can be interacted with.
  
• then(setgrid,index,position x,position y, value) - Changes a value in the grid.
  
• then(functiontarget) - Performs the next function for every entity on the target list. To be used with the "target" subcommand.
  
• then(createhitsplat,x,y,type, amount) - Creates a hitsplat at the position.
  
• then(createtext,x,y,text) - Creates a text popup similar to when you pick up an item.

Added the following subcommands

• list(index, position) - Returns the value in the list at that position.
  
• grid(index,x position, y position) - Returns the value in the grid at that position.
  
• targetvar(variable) - To be used with the "functiontarget" function in place of variables.
  
• damage() - Returns the amount of health lost between frames.

Added the following options for the playervar/targetvar subcommand.

• xrel - X position relative to the block.
  
• yrel - Y position relative to the block.
  
• speed - Speed value.

Rooms now have a value to determine how common the room is. The higher the value, the more common.

You can now copy and delete career mode files. Copied files will be automatically made hardcore.
Added a buffer for switching weapons and picking up weapons. Trying to switch or pick up a weapon when firing will now buffer it to pick it up after the weapon is fired. (To make picking weapons up smoother.)
Added a new weapon modifier - bullet velocity (V).
Added a simple pseudo-in raid progression system with weapon drops. Having a better weapon will result in better weapons dropping. This is to both gate off extremely powerful weapons early on and to make weapon progression more noticable.
Added some more clothing particle effects. They now only spawn on hats as well. (Having two pieces of clothing with the same particle effect was very unlikely.)
Added the currently equipped clothing to the inventory screen.
New Hat - Graduation Cap - When equipped, the level of your hat and pants equipped will be increased by 2. (Similar to a max upgraded piece of clothing in career mode.)

Changed the functionality of the cash lockboxes. Bronze lockboxes now give health and ammo. Silver lockboxes now give items and weapons. All 3 lockboxes will now drop clothing and loot on a seperate roll.
Improved turret tracking.
Killing guards now allows overdose/overheat to drain.
The amount of shots you get from precision skills is now based on the weapon speed rather than the weapon damage.
Tweaked the price of clothing in career mode.
Enemy leaders will now alert squad mates when they start to panic.
Tweaked enemy HP again. (Enemies will have more health at lower levels, but MUCH less health at higher levels.)
Uncommon hats are now less common.
Altered the way that levels are generated slightly, to give larger control on how big levels can be.
Leader enemies now have less health. (From a 40% health bonus to a 25% health bonus.)

Disabled the Discord RPC. It was causing crashes. I don't even know if it worked properly.

Fixed a crash with the grenade launcher. (And probably the rocket launcher too.)
Fixed a crash caused by entering the getaway car with a prosthetic hook launched.
Fixed some localization related issues.
Fixed an issue with the "mastermind" puzzle.
Fixed an issue where enemies would try and walk through tables to get to a player.

Fixed a large amount of problems related to dropping clothing in quickplay and career mode.
Fixed an issue causing the new blood system to not even save on performance.
Fixed a bug allowing you to upgrade weapons past maximum level in career mode.
Scopes can no longer damage "brainfreeze" statues. Brainfreeze no longer creates ice blood as well.
When moving up a floor, the game will no longer run very poorly while selecting a perk.
Fixed a glitch related to the juggernaut charge where you could clip through walls. (This has been in the game for a while honestly.)
Changed the way files are read. This is all backend stuff, but there was a (probably rare as I only encountered it once) issue where certain configs could not start the game due to an issue with the old system.
Hats can no longer spawn with a glitched effect when spawned from a chest.

Co-Op Related

• While this isn't verified, steamworks now throttles bandwith coming in and out. As a result, playing in steamworks was nearly impossible. A makeshift system was put in place to make 2 player coop with steamworks at least POSSIBLE. The network at the moment is EXTREMELY unoptimized and will be improved in a coming patch.
  
• Fixed a crash caused by dropping a weapon.
  
• Clients now properly drop weapons.
  
• Fixed a crash caused by leaving the server in steamworks.
  
• Fixed client names/avatar not loading properly.

Changed the way the "shader detail" option handles optimization. It now disables the dropshadow instead of the shaders at the lowest setting. The shader really wasn't making a gigantic impact to the framerate in the long run and disabling it disabled other important options. For consistency, this should be better in the long run.
Bitmaps can no longer be used for the mod image.
Optimized the lighting backend when it comes to detection of how bright the area in which you were standing was. This was (potentially) causing major framerate issues (in one instance around 50% of the work the engine was doing was dedicated solely to this) on less powerful computers, hopefully this should help.
Altered the physics of the flaregun.
You can no longer spam pause, this was causing some issues.
Clicking off the inventory/puzzle/continue screen will no longer cause you to fire.

Enjoy!
The next patch should have improved multiplayer networking, and MAYBE if everything goes perfectly, boss battles for the end of raids. I've designed a way to make them playable with a stealth build, but I don't know how well they'll work.
