radfast Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Dear Extraordinary Survivalists v1.19.4-rc.1, a release candidate, is now available to download through the account manager. This is a minor feature update, also including some essential fixes. Some of the dev team were very keen on squeezing in some more nearly finished features and for once Tyron relented and gave free rein, and here is what we came up with! Changes include a rebalancing of loot in ruins - obtaining clutter blocks is now more challenging and requires plentiful application of glue, but at the same time there is more variety in the smaller objects found in chests and containers among the ruins. We also added a new wireframe color setting to the accessibility tab to assist players with color vision impairments. (Note: this is not a "stable" release. As a release candidate it is for testing and may have issues. Two known new issues discovered in this version are: (1) When smithing on an anvil, in this version the mouse has to be held until after the hammer swing completed and the voxel moved, instead of the previous single tap action. This is a newly introduced bug arising out of the changes to hammer controls connected with using the hammer as a weapon. (2) In Multiplayer games, the position of animals may jump around or 'rubber-band' for some players. Both these issues are now fixed in v.1.19.4-rc.2 released on February 22nd) Screenshots Glue making mechanic, use glue to repair and obtain ruin clutter Barrels finally received the long anticipated model overhaul Hides have new models and textures, and can be placed on the ground Mouse buttons are now re-bindable Game updates Feature: Clutter blocks shatter when broken, unless first repaired using glue Clutter blocks can no longer be obtained with a 50% chance by breaking them, they now require repair in situ. Partially-repaired blocks have a chance of not shattering. Clutter blocks already obtained by players are safe from shattering This shatter rule is configurable on a per-world basis (and is by default disabled in the Exploration play style). New world configuration option "Clutter obtainable" Pitch glue can be made by cooking up resin and powdered charcoal. A pot of glue can be used to repair clutter blocks within ruins, simply right-click with the pot in the active hand Glue hardens within a few hours after it is made, but hardened glue can be re-heated in a firepit. Players wanting to repair clutter may need to create a firepit close to the ruins Cooking pots can now be used to cook non-food items; but cooking such substances in a pot will result in a "Residue-covered pot" which can never again be used for meal recipes: nobody likes to eat glue! Powdered charcoal is made by grinding charcoal on a quern Feature: "With great ruins comes great lootability" A wider selection of loot is potentially available in chests and other containers within ruins, both on the surface and underground Some containers may contain smaller clutter objects (if found in chests, these therefore can be obtained without any need to repair them) A new cellar is included in one of the large ruins Feature: Re-bindable mouse buttons (as first mentioned in the 1.19.0-rc1 news) Any keyboard control or macro can now alternatively be configured to a mouse button [Detail: in Settings, Controls tab, click on any setting and then to set it, click a mouse button instead of a key. Left, middle, right buttons and, for multi-button mice, up to 5 additional buttons are supported] In-game left, right and middle mouse-clicks can be re-bound, either to different mouse buttons or to keyboard keys. For example left and right mouse buttons can be swapped, or for mice with only two buttons, a keyboard key can be used for middle clicking Pick block is now re-bindable to any key or mouse button Feature: In the Accessibility settings tab, knapping, clayforming, smithing voxel wireframe colors are now configurable between different presets. In addition to the standard setting, two alternative presets for these colors are provided, chosen for better contrast for players with certain types of color blindness (color vision anomaly) Tweak: Hides are now 3D models, and can be placed on the ground Raw hides will begin to rot after 5 days. Oiling or soaking the hide will prevent it from rotting. Tweak: Improved visuals for barrels and troughs New barrel models Barrel contents appearance for raw vegetables more closely matches the actual vegetable (Cabbage, Carrot, Onion, Parsnip, Pumpkin, Turnip, and Bell pepper) Improved appearance of some other items in barrels (Cooked bushmeat, fish, poultry, redmeat; raw mixed vegetable; tomato) Vegetables in troughs now have the same appearance as vegetables in barrels, with some extra tweaks at the borders Minor tweaks to appearance of both small and large troughs, and rot models Fixed: grains in troughs did not use proper texture; dry grass (hay) in troughs had too much shadow Tweak: Performance improvements Reduce server and singleplayer RAM usage around 250MB overall [detail: Schematics used by ruins and villages are now cached and partly lazy-loaded] Reduce spikes in RAM usage on client when moving to new world areas Reduce network usage in large-scale multiplayer games [detail: Fewer entity position update packets for dropped items, dead creatures and other non-moving entities] Fixed: Server was sometimes unnecessarily sending the same chunk to the client twice (e.g. following a teleport) Tweak: Gameplay balancing Soil, sand and stone mining resistance are all increased by 20% (take longer to mine), gravel resistance is decreased 20% [note: part of the thinking behind this is that obtaining these heavy materials should be more time-consuming, relative to obtaining wood or small blocks; it also helps block breakage time match up better with the shovel and pick animations in some cases; players and servers who preferred the old speeds can, if they like, adjust global mining speed for all blocks in world configs] Fancy linen patterns (square/offset/diamond pattern) are now a Tailor-exclusive grid recipe. Make them using normal linen, plus sewing kit, in various configurations. Any player can turn fancy linen back into the normal linen pattern using shears, in grid Commodity trader no longer sells square/offset/diamond linen patterns, only normal Cooking pots are shelf-storable Whole pumpkins can no longer be placed in a trough as animal feed, they must first be sliced Moose jump height is reduced to 2 blocks, less than most deer Tule, cattail, and papyrus roots all now cook into the same food item: 'cooked wild rhizomes' Tule now has plantable roots. Tule, cattails, and papyrus now have planter and flowerpot models that respond to climate Auto-close the trader dialog and trading window when a player moves out of range of the trader Support beams placed on blocks can now be individually removed instead of all at once (not yet on chiseled blocks, sorry) Meta blocks such as Command blocks and stack randomizers no longer drop when broken by players in Survival mode [note: in Survival mode, meta blocks are normally invisible and therefore untargetable by players, but players have a setting to enable visibility and targeting of such blocks, mainly intended for mod and map makers] Tweak: New first person mode tuning In the Interface settings tab, players can now change the field of view for the first person mode hands, reduced default FoV from 90 to 75. This mitigates first person hands looking unnaturally long. Added custom animations for the bug net and squeezing honeycombs Added animation for inserting temporal gear with a knife (to restore the player's temporal stability) More sluggish mouse movement and seraph model rotation while swimming Tools now follow the player's cursor more closely in first person mode. Less jarring transition back to tool ready position, after using a tool to hit Impove feel of axe, club and hammer when used as a weapon Adjustments to falx, axe and cleaver first-person animations Adjusted position for held crushed items Adjusted shield transforms and other off-hand transforms Fixes to some animations endlessly repeating after an action Knife cut animation Chisel ready animation, after switching from chisel to empty slot Using torch to light a firepit, whenever a torch was then held Torch in hand - could endlessly repeat instead of holding it out straight Fixed: Block edge sitting was sometimes triggered in the wrong places Fixed: Block edge sitting looked strange in first-person if the camera is rotated beyond a normal neck angle; camera is now rotation-limited in this pose Fixed: Hammer and chisel animation working properly again Fixed: Hammer no longer clips into the camera when breaking blocks with it in the off-hand. Fixed: First hit animations on spear now consistent with all subsequent hits Fixed: Shovel ready animation now longer firmly attached Fixed: Idle animations for lanterns and pumpkin fruit Tweak: Seraph hair and clothing improvements Snow goggles and glasses are now worn on the face location, rather than the head - so these can now be combined with hats Ponytail parts removed from basic seraph model Fixed: hats would show through helmets Fixed: Hair side braids and side buns adjusted to not conflict as much with messenger hat Fixed: emblems were set to wear on the wrist Fixed: inventory and handbook positioning of several arm, head and jewellery items, and rusty and temporal gears Tweak: Other visual fine tuning More detailed skulls on human skeletons. Special skeleton has smaller skull Feather item now has a 3D model; improved rot model Beeswax, Fat and Raw fish models now smaller when placed on the ground Improved positioning of some food items (thanks to Sonya!) Bunches or piles of food items generally now held with both hands Pixel-level polish to the layout of block interaction help Fixed: Soldered copper sheet texture would sometimes show up amongst world-placed copper sheets Fixed: Jonas parts positioning in display cases was not correct Fixed: Various fixes to antlers and goat horns (Guemal, Caribou, Marsh deer, Pampas deer, Tur goat, Takin goat) Fixed: Many antlers invisible in the handbook Fixed: Antler mount hitboxes were too large; diamond antler mount was not quite centered Fixed: Incorrect appearance of breadfruit in cooking pot meals Fixed: Pickled pumpkin now has different texture from un-pickled pumpkin Tweak: Handbook fine tuning Improved text layout and formatting on Handbook pages Minor improvements to Command Handbook layout The knapping guide makes clear that knapping creates a tool head, not an actual tool Handbook entry for deer explains that they cannot be domesticated, milked or bred Fancy-stitched linens are now included in the handbook Handbook entry for clay no longer mentions finding clay on the map, as the default map style does not show clay differently from soil Changed order of presentation of information in the descriptive text for wearable items Fixed: link to glass in the greenhouse guide Fixed: in the initial Create character dialog, game unpausing when clicking on a handbook link in the player class description Tweak: Positional sounds on moving objects more accurately update their positions Tweak: Mod Manager shows warning dialog if a player attempts to disable the mods comprised in vanilla Vintage Story (Creative Mode, Essentials, Survival Mode) Tweak: Graphics settings menu, if only essential settings are shown, now shows a tip indicating that there are additional settings Tweak: Add Window Mode setting "Fullscreen + Always on top", which prevents the window from auto-minimizing when it loses focus, useful for dual monitor setups Tweak: /db prune command is now available on hosted servers to reduce filesize and to allow new worldgen in explored but unused areas of the map; usage fully explained in the in-game Command Handbook Tweak: Localization and language changes All trader dialogue is now translatable Cooking pot contents "x servings of y" now localized, and the English text uses plural format; similar plural format use for the new 'portions of' translations for non-food cooking pot contents In English, for wearables descriptions and handbook text, "Cloth category" is now "Clothing category" and some capitalisation changes for consistency In the cooking pot "Will make X servings of Y" message seen in firepit, the meal name Y is automatically converted to lowercase by code: this conversion now better handles accents, in certain languages Settings menu made more spacious to allow individual setting names to be on a single line in more cases, even if in some languages the name is wider than the English text Fixed: In the Settings, Interface tab, the language selection dropdown box could drop below the bottom of the screen Fixed: Game unplayable (immediate crash) on operating systems set to Thai language and perhaps certain other languages as the default system language Fixed: Player (and other entities) clipping through walls when taking knockback damage, or at certain specific positions in the world Fixed: Ruins with missing textures underwater, in Arctic regions Fixed: Worldgen borders still sometimes visible at edges of map regions, in worldgen from game versions 1.19.0-1.19.3 [note: existing maps might now be fixable using /db prune command or /wgen regen command, see documentation for those commands] Fixed: Dropped backpacks and handbaskets not having correct item despawn timer until now (sorry for past lost items!) Fixed: Support beams were forever stuck to chiseled blocks. Now they fall off when the chiseled block is broken Fixed: Block breaking decal for support beams Fixed: Rare duplication of entities (e.g. following teleport sometimes) - may fix some doppelganger issues in multiplayer, time will tell Fixed: Chickens were eating from large troughs in 1.19, which was unintended Fixed: Mechanical damage bonus not applied for the Clockmaker. Animal loot modifier unintentionally applied to mechanicals. Fixed: Chute pushing into Archimedes screw could get items stuck and stop the flow Fixed: Rare crash when looking at cheese Fixed: Rare boulders and loose stones placed inappropriately on top of ruins by worldgen Fixed: Multiple issues with ruins generated in tiny worlds or near the map edge Fixed: In Multiplayer, firewood or ingot piles or other ground storables could be invisible when newly placed Fixed: Wooden crates did not have their correct capacities for the type of wood Fixed: Farmland and panned gravel/sand layers created weird lighting on neighbours when placed in corners Fixed: Scroll Rack block info showed the scroll in the wrong slot Fixed: Scroll rack had various minor issues and janks when two racks are side-by-side Fixed: Bears and other creatures spawning inside snow blocks now correctly positioned Fixed: WorldEdit flood-fill tool, on undo, did not clean up water when there was a block and water in the same position, e.g. loose stones underwater Fixed: WorldEdit block removal tools, if blocks had decor on them (linen, carpet, lichen, mold etc) the decor would drop instead of being removed Fixed: In Multiplayer, a mod configured a certain way could make it impossible to connect to a modded server - if the required mod was Universal but had requiredOnServer set to false, the client would endlessly re-download the mod before joining the server, even if it had it already Fixed: Various rare crashes and logged errors Crash involving EntityItem Handbook crash when clicking on drops from stony rubble Multiplayer crashes with traders and auctions: If another player on the server also buys or creates an auction while you are trading Crash with Command Block in Developer Mode FruitTreeRoot errors in logs at world load Error from Microblocks during snow melt Serverside exception error log on "AiTaskSeekFoodAndEat.suitableFoodSource" Importing schematics with missing entity types or liquids inside buckets, from removed mods, would error Rotating a chiseled bookshelf (legacy) using wrench would result in game crash (also for chiseled Log sections) Mod API Tweak: Added a new attachment point on the seraph model for off-hand animations Tweak: Log an error if HeldRightReadyAnimation and HeldRightTpIdleAnimation for an item are set to the same animation Tweak: New and updated stackrandomizers are available to allow random loot to be placed in containers in schematics; and these randomizers can be modded to add or change loot in vanilla ruins: for details see the randomizers in assets/survival/itemtypes/meta Tweak: If an item specifies a renderVariant, and the shape cannot be found, log an error instead of crashing Additional minor tweaks relevant only to coded mods: KeyConfiguration used for hotkeys can now also represent a mouse button; mouse buttons are treated like keyboard keys with keycodes 240-247 For AITasks, the EntityPartitioning system is now divided more logically into Creatures and Inanimate entities, use EnumEntitySearchType to specify which For all string IndexOf(), StartsWith() or EndsWith() operations on strings representing game internal elements, for example AssetLocation, texture codes and other dictionary keys or anything found in JSON code, StringComparison.Ordinal should be used for culture independence. Vintagestory.API.Util now provides helper methods string.IndexOfOrdinal(), string.StartsWithOrdinal() and string.EndsWithOrdinal() which you can use; and ordinal comparison is built-in to new convenience method AssetLocation.PathStartsWith() Mods can access and change climbUpSpeed and climbDownSpeed in an entity's BehaviorControlledPhysics View full record 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Hermit Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Thanks for getting always on top in there. The game window minimizing whenever you click off screen is such a hassle. Admittedly a minor irritation, but it feels like a big deal! XP Anyhow, much appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like perhaps creating salt with enough portions of saltwater in the pot, or making lye soap? That would be really exciting 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the main note though glue isn't what I was expecting but I'm super excited for the idea of fixing the clutter! Anything to be more immersed while hanging out and gathering things is amazing and it looks like another fun process. Also living off leather armour so often like I do my tanneries are gonna look amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CipherStormwolf Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Will resin be easier to obtain, I find it a pain. Can we not get way to cut trees and harvest some resin?

The base game plainly uses resin as a way to gate later-game technology, after which it goes mostly unused. I see this glue system as a good way to give resin a use later on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have to travel a bit to find a forest of such trees, but once you do you'll find plenty of resin. I use a mod that makes resin visible on all sides of a block and am amazed at how much resin I have been missing in previous worlds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell pepper was in the game guess some 1.15-1.16 what I remember. You was about get the seeds but can´t plant that, Since that I never see the bell pepper plant in the game. Hope it will come back.

Streetwind Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 IIRC, bell pepper is currently unfinished, and has been for a long time. It uses a different system from other crops, one where the plant stays alive after harvesting instead of being broken, and will grow new produce over time. I assume that was an experiment which simply wasn't pursued any further, perhaps because it didn't work out, or perhaps because other things took priority. Tomatoes... I've literally never heard of tomatoes in VS outside of mods. Hmmm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcosis Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Can't wait to see this update pushed to stable! Particularly hyped about loot rebalancing, glue, performance tweaks and most importantly - re-bindable mouse buttons. Can finally put that mouse of mine to good use and I always can't stress enough how important such features are, including full proper keyboard rebinding (no forced buttons + combinations other than w/a/s/d for people using different setups/controls). 3 hours ago, Streetwind said: IIRC, bell pepper is currently unfinished, and has been for a long time.

I've literally never heard of tomatoes in VS outside of mods. Hmmm! As far as I remember, both tomatoes and peppers were supposed to utilize this different system, the one you're talking about. It was meant to pave way for sort of "update" to farming, where certain plant types are basically evergreen and produce fruit as long as the environment allows them; it would allow things like tomatoes, bell peppers and it was put aside because it turned out to be more complicated to implement and other things took priority back then; since that time peppers and tomatoes were temporarily removed completely from the game and been on the back burner.

The .json definitions for bellpeppers have been in the client all this time - they just aren't functional ingame. Which is how I know about bellpeppers And I didn't know about tomatoes because there are no such files in the client. But I suppose it would make sense that the two plants would work in similar ways.

Pretty much all of my IRL gardening I've done has been with perennials and root veggies, especially tomatoes, peppers, and garlic; this sounds amazing! I knew about the peppers being in the game but non-functional, I played a bit when you could get the seeds from vessels but not plant them, but didn't know it was because of plans to make farming even more robust. Really hope they don't have too rough a time with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope they don't have too rough a time with it. You could get them from ancient vessels, indeed. They just never grew fruit due to being unfinished. They were meant to be lost vegetables the past civilization had access too, sort of high tier food source which takes far longer to grow and has higher requirements, but rewards you continually for a long period of time once fully grown. I do hope the farming system will get an expansion sometime in the future. Another thing I'm really rooting for is wild herbs which could give some basis for a future herbalist/alchemist profession along with potion crafting etc. Having an actual use for all the flowers and new herbs which would grow in different climates could be really neat and it's great to have actual incentives to both travel and explore. Next major update is supposedly to focus on new means of travelling, which is a requirement for fast and efficient long-distance exploration; having some horses/donkeys or maybe some domesticated ram species to travel on would be fantastic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I agree, I love how much in this game is already there and they're one of the few dev teams I know of I can be confident given time they will keep going and get there. They seem pretty bent as is on making sure exploration is fun and rewarding. I would adore something more than Horsetail and bandages. With VS having just a bit of that video game aspect to it, I could see a lot of fun things to be had with more advanced creation of medicine with maybe the distillery, especially with the new cooking pot changes, and the ups and downs of things like numbing compounds. Also more travel options sound really cool, I've been trying Feverstone's Horses and Joy of Sailing recently and am just nearing actually befriending a horse and making a proper boat, didn't fully understand the newer landcover options in worldgen and am apparently playing on islands, which while really fun, I've certainly been thinking about travel a lot.

From a comment or two here or there it seems like the dev team is focused on how to make multi-block vehicles work. Seems like massive ocean crossings requiring months of in game time to cross is their vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushieater Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 1.19.4rc1 smithing is an exercise in extreme frustration. The animation timing doesn't work and is inconsistent. A single click with the hammer doesn't work at all. A longer click is inconsistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there's a better way to match block breakage with animations without drastically altering mining time for the worse? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorfinn Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 (edited) There was something else I was noticing the other day where the animation seemed just weird. Oh, yeah, using shears. It's like I'm just brandishing them, shouting, "Fear the power of my shears!" I don't particularly mind the slower mining. It is what it is, and, realistically, it's insanely quick considering you are digging out a 1m cube of solid stone. I can't do a 1m cube of dirt that fast. One advantage is that it further incentivizes seeking out black coal and charcoal saltpeter, and growing at least a few flax after you have your gambeson and sails.
