- new palmtree model w/ variations
- palm branches now have physics
- various hunter animations for climbing/perch/pull/lock
- technical improvements to climbing and pulling locomotion cases
- flying beyond a maximum distance while pulling a branch will now automatically let go

fixed a physics issue from the latest update

- New Input: "Action"(default: LeftMouseButton)
- More progress on underlying locomotion code
- PalmTree now has collision, physics and various interactions

PalmTree Mechanics:

CLIMB - palmtrees can be climbed by jumping onto the trunk

SHAKE - while climbing on the trunk, pressing "action" will shake the tree to drop coconuts

PERCH - climbing to the top of a palmtree will transition you to a semi-hidden position on top
//pressing "crouch" will transition back to the trunk of the tree, if unoccupied

PULL - the leaf branches of a palmtree can be grabbed by jumping into them and pressing "action"
//the branches can then be pulled to bend the tree in any direction to a maximum distance
//pressing "action" at any distance will release the branch normally

LAUNCH - while the tree is pulled to its max distance, pressing "jump" will slingshot you skyward
//if anyone is in the perched position on the tree, they will also slingshot with you
//simply releasing the branch at max distance, instead of jumping, will launch only the perched player

- Up to three players can interact with a tree at once(one in each position: climb, perch, pull)
- Added animation stubs for the above content
- Added audio fx for many of the interactions

[sprinting]
- New input: Sprint(default: LeftControl)
//sprint can be tapped to toggle on, which will remain on as long as you're running within a forward arc
- Added sprinting animations

[sliding]
- New sliding mechanics
//activated by holding "crouch" while moving at a fast enough speed
- Added sounds for sliding on different surfaces and water
- Added stubs for sliding animations

[misc]
- Fixed VR tools launching for some players
- Removed smaller foliage for the time being
- Removed debug spheres

- added physical interactions between the hunter and foliage
- some progress for additional flora models
- preliminary code for foliage-based mechanics

- Polish to a few ground animation sets and added some transitions

- Polish to a few ground animation sets and added some transitions

- mostly server-related changes this patch
- engine upgraded to ue5 release
- completed ambient+foley mechanics from last patch
- added base settings for audio
- fixed a bug causing the game to hang after shutdown
- fixed certain locomotion states not replicating
- minor adjustments to world composition

- Ambient island audio that shifts based on distance+altitude from shore
- Underwater ambience with serparate channels for sounds that can only be heard under/above water, or both(WIP)
- Foley sounds for run/crouch/crawl/climb/jump/land on all surface types
- Rain audio syncs with weather
- A few VO sounds when vaulting
- Various water interactions based on depth+action(this will need supporting VFX to seem right)
- Some of these mechanics are not yet simulated by other players(part2 coming)
