[UNSTABLE] Updates March 14th, 2014

Hey guys! We’ve been working a lot on progression this week, but that stuff’s not quite ready to be pushed yet. We have pushed a small update to unstable, though! No updates to the stable branch, as we’ve still got a bug or two to fix first. We’ll be making one more upload tonight, and then hopefully pushing an update to stable on Monday.

Remember to report any new bugs (relevant to this update) in the comments below!

  • More edge case lua <-> C++ work
  • Made songbook UI more compact
  • 2 new weathers! (ground mist and wind storm)
  • Several more Agaran encounters and objects

I’m only allowed to show you the tiniest of teaser images for the encounters (below), BUT you should check out this month’s newsletter for more news about the Agarans, cool mods, and the return of monthly wallpapers. :)

[UNSTABLE] Updates March 8, 2014

Hey guys! Some stuff’s been pushed to the unstable testing branch. Take a look. :D

Spacedust Shower

Shiny new stuff:

  • 5 new weathers – sandstorm, snowstorm, fog, ash storm, space dust
  • A couple new Agaran hats (shroomhead3 and shroomhead4)
  • More objects for Heck! (heckpillar1, heckpillar2, hecksign)
  • Some mysterious Floran pods

Bug fixes:

  • Possible fix for repeat keys never triggering callback, hence resulting in old data being used (e.g. after holding backspace to clear account in server connect dialog).
  • Unix & Windows LockFile implementation, also fix bug with texturing flag not being moved during operator=
  • Fixed sit alignment on tier10 chair
  • Much improved variant <-> lua handling
  • Assorted engine fixes (e.g “Tag manifest as windows 7 compatible, trying to work our way out from under compatflags”)

[STABLE] Content Updates & Bug Fixes!

Just updating to let you guys know that all the stuff listed in this post has been pushed to the stable branch! Translation: Everyone should have the latest update now. :)

Broken mods after the patch? Mod authors will have to update to the new .pak file format to keep their mods compatible.

Issues crafting skyrails? With the latest update, Skyrails have their very own special Skyrail Crafting Table which you can craft with the Metalworks Station if you’re at tier 4 or above. However, players who are already at tier 4 or above will need to re-use their tier 4 Starmap upgrade in order for the Skyrail Crafting Table recipe to appear in the Metalworks Station.
