A Quiet Place: Death Angels

New features: traps and survival

• Added Bear Traps and Tripwire Bottle Traps, each with its own activation, disarming, and escape mechanics.

• Added throwable bottles and bricks to create sound distractions.

• Added interactive wooden planks that can produce noise when handled too quickly.

• Added challenge mechanics for escaping Bear Traps and disarming Bottle Traps.

• Implemented cached geometry for Bottle Traps to avoid repeated reconstruction during collision and targeting queries.

• Implemented caching for Bear Trap targeting shapes.

Monster hearing and behavior

• Removed the restriction that prevented additional monsters from reacting when two were already near a sound source.

• Fresh sounds at previously investigated locations can attract monsters again.

• Fixed sound selection so a monster's own noise no longer hides external sound sources.

• Adjusted simultaneous sound merging to preserve distinct source identities.

• Animal sounds now feed the hearing system and can cause monsters to pursue and attack the animal responsible.

• Meteor impacts no longer generate hearing events for monsters or the Queen. Audio, explosions, particles, craters, and creature spawning remain intact.

• Improved adult Death Angel and Queen navigation toward elevated targets, including one-block towers. Juveniles still cannot climb.

• Preserved obstacle detours when pursuing ground-level targets.

Traps and interactions

• In Survival Mode, traps can only be broken or collected when disarmed.

• Armed traps and their side sections are protected from normal breaking, explosions, and creature destruction.

• Creative Mode players can break armed traps, including through their side sections.

• Bottles that fall after activation become disarmed and can be collected.

• Corrected breaking and impact particle colors for traps and Bottle Trap side sections.

• Fixed held and inventory trap rendering to use their three-dimensional models.

• Mistakes in the Bear Trap escape challenge no longer release the player automatically. A successful escape is required.

• Failing the Bottle Trap disarming challenge produces the same noise as crossing the tripwire.

• Bottle Trap disarming interactions are restricted to the bottles themselves.

• Fixed camera locking and accumulated mouse movement during plank interactions.

• Moving planks too quickly produces noise in both directions, including before placement.

Items, movement, and the Queen

• The Sound Level Meter now detects nearby sounds from objects and traps, including sounds masked by ambient noise for monsters.

• Each sandbag contains 20 portions and leaves an empty bag after use.

• Two sand slabs form a block with the standard sand appearance.

• Restored normal crouching speed. Holding the sprint key while crouching allows faster, noisier movement.

• Revised the Queen's focused listening, blur effect, sound source identification, and charge after detection.

Commands and world rules

• Revised registration and functionality for /deathangels apocalypse and /deathangels noise.

• Added usage guidance and permission feedback.

• Action commands require cheats or operator permission level 2.

• doMobSpawning=false prevents new automatic Death Angel spawns from meteors, nests, and eggs. It does not remove existing creatures or prevent meteor impacts and craters.
