You can use this exciting new functionality to have passengers accompany the player in missions and just have characters present in a car.

Added the "SetVehicleCharacterAnimation" command.
Added the "SetVehicleCharacterJumpOut" command.
Added the "SetVehicleCharacterScale" command.

Added the "SetStageVehicleCharacterScale" command.

Updated "SetStageCharacterModel" to default the second argument to the player's current animation set instead of requiring the argument.

Hack: Bug Fixes

Added "Actors" > "Restore Wasp Collision".
- This fixes an issue where destroying a certain number of wasps disables their collision until the level is fully reloaded.
Changed the tooltip for "Character Rotations" to be more specific about what it does. The hack's description was also updated to reflect this change.
Made "Fix Steering Animations" also fix the steering/swaying animation cancelling immediately/starting again repeatedly.

Hack: Custom Audio Format Support

Added support for Lua Path Handler Redirections on RSD files to FLAC and Ogg files.

Hack: Custom Files

General

Made CustomFiles.lua execute after all hacks that are supposed to be loaded are loaded.
Made this hack only mount "CustomFiles" folders that exist.
- This change can dramatically improve performance if you have lots of mods enabled but only a few have CustomFiles folders (like Mod Hacks for instance).

Lua Scripting

Added "GetLauncherVersion". This returns the current version of the Mod Launcher.
Added "GetMainMod". This returns the InternalName of the current main mod (if there is one).
Added "GetSettings". This returns the settings of the current mod (or the specified mod) in a Lua table.
Added "IsTesting". This checks if the user is has the Mod Launcher's testing mode enabled.
Added "UseCallbacks". This is an advanced function for handling files with Lua that may or may not have a use case.
Fixed an issue where "ComparePaths" was always case sensitive and always slash sensitive.

Learn more about these new functions on the Custom Files documentation.

Hack: Debug Text

General

Added an "actors" Page.
Added a "characters" Page.
Added a "loaded characters" Page.
Made Ctrl+C copy the current page text to clipboard.
- Added "Allow Copying with Ctrl+C" to the "Advanced" tab of the hacks settings to disable that.

"cams" Page
Made this page exclude null cameras.

"intersects" Page
Made this page not say "Y: " before the Y and "Z: " before the Z of "Intersect triangle pos 3".

"missions" Page
Made this page exclude null missions.

"mission" Page
Made this page show "null" for null objectives instead of crashing.
This is helpful for debugging in the event the stage's objective is not getting added.

"traffic" Page
Made this page render the segments of the road the car is currently on (and the previous roads segments if the car is on an intersection).

"triggers" Page

Made this page include the type number of locators in brackets after the type name.
Made sphere triggers render as spheres now instead of boxes.

Hack: Debug Test

General

Graphics Page

Added "No Texture/Alpha Operations/Arguments".

Made this hack uninitialise if the game crashes.

Hack: Modern Computer Support

Fixed an issue in the game where the border was not removed when in fullscreen (particularly noticable on Windows 10).

Hack: Lens Flare

Hack: Resizable Window

Fixed issues when switching from a resizable window to fullscreen.
Made the game not change its resolution when loading its settings if the window size is changed before then.
Made the game maintain its center when changing resolution instead of re-recentering on the screen.
Made the game continue processing and rendering when a Windows context menu (like you'd get when right clicking the caption of the window) is open.
