RDZ Industries: Project Y4 R02d file

R02d
MUSIC
- Introducing an original soundtrack by Merlijn Nash

FIXES
- Fixed the bomb drop crash bug at last! The bomb is now dropped automatically on entering the activation zone, rather than requiring active input, to deal with the issue
- Fixed subnet hacks crashing on loading ("Undocumented Designs" objective)
- Fixed subnet maze avatar not being immediately reselected on deselection
- Fixed bounds on subnet terminals making them difficult to select

TWEAKS
- Guessing the missing digits of a keypad code discovered during a router hack will update the datapad entry for that code
- Computer monitors "switch off" after being read to indicate terminals that have already been viewed once (they can still be read again if desired)
- Added "quick" exits to the two bunker assaults; the Waste bunker allows you to exit near Bunker 07, while the North bunker takes you out in the mines

R02c

BALANCE CHANGES
- The Ultimate Crane Game no longer carries a risk of detection after the North Bunker has been breached: take as long as you need!
- The Blade Barrier no longer damages player units, allies or neutral units (barrels or civilians)

- Dealing with Marseille now unlocks the Pirate Camouflage paintwork

FIXES & TWEAKS
