Description

  • xr_logic.script: parse_condlist – very unoptimized function: cycle with regexp in cycle with regexp in cycle with regexp. (mama, za chto...)
    • This is the first script we should port to C++. (#782)
  • bind_anomaly_zone.script: update function does nothing, just remove. Saves ~1 ms per frame.
  • Sounds loading when NPC switches to online.
  • blowout: cycle in cycle in cycle, really slow. Also kills you, despite the fact that you have godmode mode enabled.
