v1.19.0-rc.1 Dejank Redux

Dear Extraordinary Survivalists 
v1.19.0-rc.1, a release candidate, can now be downloaded through the account manager.

(Note: for some Windows users downloading the rc1 installer soon after first release, Windows may popup a warning "Windows protected your PC: Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognised app from starting". Don't worry, the game is safe! The reason is essentially that this rc1 release is too new for Windows Defender to recognise it: we are working with Microsoft on this and it should improve as time passes. If you get the popup warning, to install the release, please click "More info" and then allow it to continue.)

One broken central heating system, one leaking roof due to ice buildup and one appendectomy later (and that's only Tyron!) the team are at long last able to bring you our next major update! As mentioned in the 1.19.0-pre.1 blog post, our goal for this update was the polishing of existing game mechanics and some clean up of the game engine code. As usual, we also added just one or two new features into the game at the same time. In total this resulted in about 450 features, tweaks and fixes. A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who tested the pre-releases of 1.19 - your feedback is very valuable to us!

We're glad we could get out the rc.1 release just before christmas, so with that in mind, we wish you Merry Christmas!
 

Can I start playing 1.19 now?
We are decently confident that your old (or new) worlds will not break. If you want to be on the safe side though, wait until the stable release.

Still unfinished
Wild animal trapping needs tuning and we'll likely add re-bindable mouse buttons to the game controls settings before stable. The new first- person mode will also very likely receive further tuning.

Game updates

• Everything listed in the 1.19.0-pre.1 devlog post
• Feature: Added 11 types of goats
• Feature: Added new Music track "Arctic Winds" for the polar regions
• Feature: Snowballs! Scoop up snowballs from deep snow and throw them at your friends. There are also some options for those that aren't really feeling the holiday spirit this year.... Can also turn snowballs into water.
• Feature: Added Deer Antlers! These grow on male adults over winter and are shed in spring. Can be picked up by players and placed on 3 variants of wood-typed antler mounts
• Feature: Added new rain ambient sounds to rain-exposed glass (glass windows or glass ceilings)
• Feature: Added new rock-typed rubble blocks for the new ruins (creative mode only at the moment)
• Feature: Added one more room to the Resonance Archives. Various tweaks and fixes
• Feature: Rough implementation of wild animal trapping (WIP)
• Feature: Added 3 new beards in the character selection screen
• Feature: Added new Tule plant beside lakes (usually spawning in different places from Cattails, more common around high altitude lakes). These drop thatch. Thatch roofing can be made from thatch or dry grass in this version; in the future thatch roofing will be craftable from thatch only.
• Feature: Added new Brown Sedge plant in wet/marshy areas in warmer climates. They drop dry grass
• Feature: Microblocks, such as the chiselled blocks in ruins, can now be excavated from soil. Cobble microblocks drop stones when broken
• Feature: Outdated mods will now be visually marked as outdated in the mod manager, with a warning sign
• Feature: World generation updates
  • Fully reworked underground ruins
  • Added more comprehensive surface villages
  • Removed legacy blocks from trader outposts
  • Fixed topsoil generating underwater inside structures
  • Should fix ruins generating too deep by default. Modders: Please note, a worldgen structure offsetY now defaults to -1 (used to be 0)
  • Resonance Archives entrance improvements. The prominent sections of the shaft are now not repeated; internal water blocks removed if it happens to spawn in lake/ocean
  • Trader carts no longer spawn in the Arctic (nor in the Antarctic!)
  • Updated underground lakes to match the new ruins style

  • Tweak: Bear spawning generally reduced about 20-25%.  Brown bear lower spawn range moved further north, to reduce black and brown bears spawning in same places
  • Tweak: Terra Preta is no longer generated during worldgen.  High fertility soil will be generated instead.  Terra Preta is now made in the crafting grid, as high fertility soil was previously.  However crafting Terra Preta requires charcoal and bone meal, in addition to compost.  High fertility soil can be included in the recipe, to increase the yield of Terra Preta
  • Tweak: Chisel durability cost for recycling a steel anvil increased to match steel chisel durability.  Anvil recycling recipes made shapeless
  • Tweak: Tin bronze falx damage slightly increased

  • Tweak: Add /we exp as alias for /we export
  • Tweak: The UI tools no longer focus the first textbox in the tool options dialog when a new tool is selected (therefore, the user can still move normally using movement keys etc.)
  • Tweak: Import tool immediately has "From Clipboard" mode active, when the tool is selected, if there were already blocks in the clipboard: helps workflow
  • Tweak: Schematic placement preview can now be partially transparent, set this using command .clientconfig previewTransparency v where v is the desired transparency level between 0.0 (solid) and 1.0 (clear)
  • Tweak: Add command to disable right settings panel in the worldedit dialog: use command .we rsp on/off
  • Tweak: Delete, fill, and delete-nearby now also removes all entities within the affected area

  • Tweak: Added ability to disable first person hands in the WorldEdit Controls Dialog
  • Tweak: Save the FreeMoveAxisLock setting when exiting the game
  • Fixed: Importing of schematics exported from older game versions is now possible, we now remap the blocks and items on import
  • Fixed: Chiselblock and Microblock in schematics now also remap their materials on schematic import

  • Fixed: Undo now removes any entities just spawned (note: entities spawn when doing import/place of schematic or copy of selection, but not on redo)
  • Fixed: For schematics with entities, if one entity was not available then no entities were spawned; now it logs an error and spawns the remaining (available) entities
  • Fixed: Free floating single rock no longer popping off if AllowFallingBlocks is set to false
  • Fixed: Exception on /we shift shorthands (sms, smn,...)
  • Fixed: /we shift n 2 would always use 1 as the amount
  • Fixed: Tapestries disappearing or changing or becoming rotten whenever a schematic is imported or copied...
  • Fixed: MagicWand selection would cause to insert two historystates upon selection
  • Fixed: WorldEdit selection would not properly update on various tools and undo/redo
  • Fixed: WorldEdit move tool would move by a multiple of the amount set in the tool
  • Fixed: WorldEdit operations (Move,Mirror,Repeat,Undo,Redo) now also include entities

  • Tweak: Water can "heal" slightly more easily if solid blocks placed in water and then removed (details: 2 direct neighbour source blocks + 3 diagonal neighbour source blocks is now enough to heal a position)
  • Fixed: Water continuing to have surface flow after fully healed
  • Fixed: A few edge-cases where water block flow was not updating on the diagonal neighbors
  • Fixed: Block updates near the worldgen-created boundary between fresh water and salt water do not cause catastrophic collapse of water levels
• Tweak: Visual fine tuning

• Tweak: New command .timelapse <interval-in-days> <duration-in-months> for taking a set of timelapse photographs of the same spot over several hours, days or seasons: find the images in folder Pictures/Vintagestory/timelapse  (note: as currently implemented the world does not actually change while the photographs are being taken, for example crops will not grow, snow will not fall, this is intended only for seeing the visual changes of the changing time of day or changing seasons)
• Tweak: In Extended Debug mode (.edi), add the Axis directions to the coordinates HUD
• Tweak: new /entity cmd <entity> birth command to test entities' multiply behavior (could also feasibly be used by a command block)

API Changes

• Feature: Entity code remapper, to preserve entities in previously saved chunks or schematics if entity codes have to change [details: to use it, either run /eir command at game startup or add /eir commands to core config file remapentities.json]
• Refactor: Switch from System.Data.SQLite to Microsoft.Data.SQLite to enable ARM CPU support in the future
• Refactor: GlobalConstants.DefaultEntityTrackingRange renamed to GlobalConstants.DefaultSimulationRange. Made it configurable via servermagicnumbers.json
• Refactor: Large cleanup of entity shape stepparenting/extraTexture stuff. extraTexturesByTextureName in EntityShapeRenderer is now removed, instead we are now using entity.Properties.Client.Textures. Entity.addGearToShape() and EntityTrader.addGearToShape() is now refactored into Shape.StepParentShape()
• Refactor: Block.GetHeatRetention() is now obsolete, please use GetRetention()
• Refactor: Added IWorldAccessor argument to OnTransformed() method in IRotatable interface
• Refactor: The assets packet that is sent to the client is now built after the server has launched. This creates *much* less headache when loading or modifying assets in code during startup

• Tweak: Entity multiply behavior now has a new optional property "spawnEntityCodes" to allow randomized variant offspring of a creature; for simple cases where there is only one type of offspring, "spawnEntityCode" (in the singular) can be used.  e.g. spawnEntityCodes: [ { code: "deer-{type}-male-baby" }, { code: "deer-{type}-female-baby" } ],
• Tweak: Decors can now have 3D shapes without needing variants for every orientation: these shapes are now automatically rotated to the side they are attached to (default: bottom)

For WorldEdit this parameter is now set using /we replace-meta true/false [default false]. During worldgen it is always true. So now it can be changed in WorldEdit when working with schematics, without affecting worldgen]
• Tweak: Refactored most of the player entity related code in EntityShapeRenderer into EntityPlayerShapeRenderer
• Tweak: new BlockPos() is now obsolete, please use new BlockPos(int dimensionId) or BlockPos.Copy() - this will help future dimensions code compatibility
