create colliders for physics objects
- changed Hulls to be convex meshes, other meshes are concave
- be consistent when reversing triangles - do it the same way for both render & collision meshes
- bake mesh for Physics engine during importing, rather than later when creating GameObjects, because we can accurately measure time
implement volumetric smoke effect
- create intersection with Smokes using grenade explosions
- grenade explosions are fading out
- made smoke expansion (and rendering ?) deterministic
- display smoke grid on Minimap
Utility-throw mode can seek to projectile detonations, and can follow projectiles during their flight
fix pre-processing of Projectiles whose Pawn is dead at moment of creation of Projectile
set smoke effect duration to 22
allow drawing on Minimap

v15.1

add support for CORS proxy for CSTV broadcasts
add “Copy match link” and “Copy playcast command” buttons in match’s ContextMenu
change default “fps_max” value on Web to 61
- seems that certain values (such are: 15, 20, 30, 60) cause the Unity’s FPS limiter on Web to misbehave: limiting the app to different FPS, taking some time from frame, preventing app from running in background. But other values seem to be fine (eg. 61), so we choose to limit to 61 by default, rather than having max CPU/GPU usage with unlocked FPS
provide better error message for HTTP timeout, otherwise Channel Task will be simply marked as cancelled

v13.3

fix for: A & B site remain on Minimap after demo unload

- from now on, use TeamNumber from pawn itself, not from it’s CSPlayerController
use <OptimizationPreference>Speed</OptimizationPreference> in library

v13.2

disable data caching on Web, to try to make it possible for Browser to fetch new version
switch IL2CPP configuration to Master, on Web platform

v13.1

display MiniMap even if game files are not available
close demo when unloading game resources
fix players’ voice on Web, by using separate AudioSource for every chunk of audio data

introduce MaxNumConcurrentSounds and set it to 100
log chat messages to Console
add support for more chat messages (those found in POV demos)
use separate game clock, and sync it with demo’s clock, with max 0.2 seconds difference
- this fixes faster time elapsing (eg. when demo recorder has less than 64 FPS)
invoke GameEvents and Messages with the correct SubTick assigned
switch to using EventNonAlloc during demo update
- slightly reduces mem allocs
add “sv_ignoregrenaderadio” cvar
minimap window consumes input
add “snd_weaponvolume” cvar
upgrade VRF library (951ba65f71abef8f99583235f77b7b69047daac2, 12-Oct-24, 10.2+)

play sounds from demo file
load additional sounds needed for all footsteps, weapons, physics and world SoundEvents
when starting a sound, immediately start it (if conditions are satisfied), don’t wait for next frame
choose sound index (inside of SoundEvent) deterministically based on sound’s starting time
- it’s still not perfect
play weapon reload sounds
