v4.6

Combat Extended 4.6 “Murder Loves Company”

Features

• Support for Zenith’s Multiplayer Mod.

• Added a stat to identify one-handed weapons.
• Added support for internal ammo cookoff functionality for internally carried ammo and for degrading natural armor, useful for vehicles and the like.
• Added support for explosive projectiles capable of penetrating walls.
• Implemented the partial armor feature for various sets of armor.
• Weapons now have a ‘durability’ stat that determines how much damage they take when used to parry. This is affected by weapon health, quality, material, and the wielder’s skill. For simplicity, this stat is hidden by default, but can be revealed in the mod options.
