• Hooked up the new 'ability' icons for the Recruit popup for Scientists and Radio Operators
  
• Cleared out some old images from legacy UI's
  
• Updated spacing for 'ability icons' on recruit popup if only one ability is going to be shown
  
• Set up Infinite Ammo and Infinite Fuel custom game settings. With hovertip support for save slots, proper setup for difficulty adjuster, etc.
  
• Set up the Evac Helicopter Capacity custom game setting. Allows up to double capacity, 256 (not very helpful, though, since the timer countdown still is too short for that many people to board unless you've been 'storing folks up')
  
• Deleted foliage on Storage Depot map
  
• Updated the Horde Widget to be usable in Horde Mode again
  
• Early Minimap Zoom+Panning update
  Zoom in/out buttons re-added, with a 'reset' button underneath them
  Panning added, via holding middle mouse while on the minimap
  
• Early version of Music Scrubbing added to the Music Manager widget. Doesn't work while music is paused, and doesn't have the 'time played/time remaining', displays yet, but otherwise functional
  
• Updated player minimap POI to just use the 'view cone' instead of the green arrow *and* view cone
  
• Set up Minimap's zoom in/out buttons to work if held
  
• Additionally, updated Zoom In/Out math to update panning to match 'relative' panning, so the zoom won't be relative to center of map, but relative towards current panning (makes things feel a lot smoother when zooming in and out, reduces need to manually adjust panning after zoom changes)
  
• Updated 'minimap POI update rate' relative to map zoom (up to double the update rate)
  
• Zone Widget will appear when highlighting a zone on the minimap
  
• If you're viewing the minimap in Large Mode, the zone widget will follow your mouse
  
• If you're viewing in regular mode, the widget will just appear to the right of the minimap
  
• Added time indicators to the Music Player's playback scrubber
  
• Fixed the Music Player's playback scrubber not allowing you to scrub correctly if you do so while the music's paused
  
• Blocked panning on the Minimap when not zoomed in
  
• Added hovertips to the zoom buttons, too
  
• Added minor render translation to the 'tooltip' Zone Widget on the Minimap Large Mode 'zone hover' info: this, for some reason, resolves the 'flickering'
  
• Added Minimap POI categories via element 'MinimapPOICategory' in the MetadataComponent
  
• Added hovertips for other minimap buttons
  
• Used Juniardi's new Minimap button images to update the style of manipulation buttons on the Minimap
  
• Updated the Infection Zone Widget's text to more reliably display without being 'cut off' for longer zone names, when displayed via the Minimap at the bottom left
  
• Avenger Turret added
  
• Re-hooked up the ability to construct it from the defenses tab
  
• Fixed part of the Avenger 'BP_Stinger_BoosterMotor' to prevent an 'invalid access' after a short delay in case the rocket explodes early (due to nearby foe)
  
• Updated turret UI to support a 'one clip' turret
  
• Updated Avenger turret to have an 8-size 'magazine', with 250-cost-per-rocket for reloading
  
• Updated turret reload logic to support a one-clip turret (like the Avenger)
  
• Got rid of the old Refill Ammo button on Field Turrets, and replaced with the Aug 2023 Reload button image
  
• Quick update to the TurretAmmoWidget to mitigate a 'text centering issue' for the Avenger Turret's ammo display
  
• Progress commit before trying to fix Deploy Mode hovertip description text to be localizable FText instead of FString
  
• Atlas Guard Tower
  
• Fixed the old portrait for Tower Guards: uses the newer Assault portrait now
  
• Construction updated to better prioritize the order in which the items were placed:Order of construction is highly prioritized, but not set in stone. Units will still have some freedom to decide where to go based on the distance to travel between construction points, and may 'finish up a cluster of buildings in an area' before going to a farther construct. Loading a game may not keep the construction order 100% the same as it was before, as a heads-up
  
• 'Direction Arrow' added to Builder
  
• Testing to try to nail down an issue where exiting to Pandemic Mode after playing Horde, while in the same game session, breaks Building shop widgets: not resolved yet
  
• Fixed a Birds Ragdoll issue that was nuking performance for when birds were active
  
• Fix to weapon-camo application for vehicles, if you change a vehicle's weapon at the weapon market
  
• Fixed up the Shops button erroneously displaying a 40% off on the Shredder Rounds purchase (since it was improperly reducing the displayed cost by 40% for DNA purchases, when that doctrine skill doesn't work on DNA purchases)
  
• Fixed an animation issue where undeploying the Atlas Guard Tower makes it get stuck with the tower up
  
• Some cleanup on Atlas Guard Tower - modularization, and trying to reduce processing used on tower guards (they still see things through the HEMTT when they shouldn't, though)
  
• Finalized HEMTT guard tower setup - will now level out on uneven ground.
  
• Swapped HEMTT guard tower material to new camo-based setup.
  
• Snap-to logic fixed up for placing structures
  
• Materials and 'phase through building' logic issue fixed for regular sandbag construction
  
• Fixed up some regular snappoint interaction
  
• Resolved a 'tower width offset' issue for wall pieces
  
• Fixed up a 'build on top of structure/wall' issue for sandbag construction
  
• Fixed wall-construction traces not starting 'soon enough', allowing you to build small wall segments on top of other walls
  
• Fixed up 'able to build on top of other structures' issue
  
• Added a 'blue preview material' fix if you try to start building a building in an invalid location but don't move your mouse
  
• Centralized some material setting, and resolved an issue with faction wall material setup
  
• Speculative fix to resolve 'edge case' where a wall corner might 'move up' on top of another wall or structure piece
  
• Fixed an issue that allowed you to build 'on' construction holograms
