Thanks for the reports, this should be fixed by now

Yes, I'm still interested in supporting apple. In theory, upgrading to the new version of the OpenTK framework should help with that. It's what interfaces with the operating system. It'll probably require some notable updates though.

There is one easy tweak I can do to mitigate the effect - reduce the range of the drifter sound, which I now did for v1.13.4 The other proposed solutions are rather complex or will break things.

Yes, that spawn radius thing is new. I've renamed it now. I didn't know its not there. Will fix.

You mean in multiplayer? That's not your ip, but the servers ip. But yes, that should be an option

Thanks for the feedback. Do you have suggestions for communicating the random respawn feature better?

You don't need to delete, you can run the command: /player yourname allowcharselonce Replace yourname with your player name After that .charsel should work once

Hi, not currently, but we are keeping a close eye on it

Dear Steeled Community v1.14.0, a stable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager. Version v1.14 should now be safely playable by everyone without serious interruptions in game play. I might be going out on a limb a bit declaring it stable right after a few small additions and fixes, but I'm tired of fixing bugs, so you all have to live with the consequences now Personally, I actually believe v1.14.0 is less buggy than v1.13.4, but I might be also wildly underestimating that. In any case, from this point on, any remaining major issue will be quickly fixed. Windows 10 users: Windows Defender / Smartscreen will probably complain. Will take a while until windows fully trusts my new developer code signing certificate again >.> The goal of this update was to add some of the many features that we wanted to add in previous versions, but never made the cut. In other words, a beautiful mess of various interesting small(-ish) things Looking forward, as with v1.13, the upcoming v1.15 will follow a particular theme again, and it seems like we'll be mostly going by the wishes of the community and focus on homesteading related content. That being said, we might still add or replace some of the planned features with others. But back to the present! I feel honored that I've been given the privilege to work with such a talented team and incredibly helpful community. Vintage Story is the cumulative effort from all of you, developers, moderators, content creators and players alike. Thank you dearly, for being a part in this journey. Time to celebrate and enjoy the fruit of our labor!

If your blocks use the Transient BE check out assets/survival/blocktypes/plant/mushroom.json for reference Refactor: SQLiteDB is now SQLiteDBConnection Refactor: The character creation dialog is now part of the survival mod Refactor: blockEntity.FromTreeAtributes is now blockEntity.FromTreeAttributes Refactor: Collectible.GetDurability() now used everywhere instead of Collectible.Durability. Allows itemstack specific max durabilities. Refactor: blockEntity.FromAttributes() is now also called in a separate thread on the client side (As before, FromTreeAttributes() is called before Initialize() and you should not read or set blocks in be.FromTreeAttributes() unless Api is set!), and it is now possible that be.OnBlockUnloaded() gets called before be.Initialize(). Please update your mods to account for that. Feature: Added api.World.BlockAccessor.GetWindSpeedAt() and api.Event.OnGetWindSpeed Feature: New block event - Block.OnBeingLookedAt(). Called on client and server when a player looks at a block Feature: New method Block.OnFallOnto() (when a falling block fell on a block) Feature: New client side event "IsPlayerReady". The survival mode subscribes to this event to return false if the character has not been selected yet. Then later calls the new method capi.Network.SendPlayerNowReady(). Consequently removed player.WorldData.DidSelectSkin propery. Feature: Added IServerPlayer.SetRole, .SetModdata, .RemoveModData and .GetModData for convenient per-player mod data storage Tweak: Unlock all 6 smithing recipe layers Tweak: Moved Block.ParticleProperties to Collectible.ParticleProperties. This way items can now also emit particles when held in hands or dropped on the ground Tweak: api.Event.RegisterGameTickListener and similar methods now verify if they are called from the main thread, because they are not thread safe Tweak: Added capi.Render.DefaultFrustumCuller Tweak: The title element in the itemstack info box can now also be rich text Tweak: New server side event: BreakBlock. Can be used to override player block breaking events. Tweak: New server side method: sapi.WorldManager.HasChunk(). Can be used to check if a player currently has given chunk Tweak: The temporal stability system now has a public field for the StormData property Tweak: Added capi.IsSinglePlayer Tweak: Added DiscGenerator.shouldGenDepositHere() Tweak: Marked some methods virtual in ItemProspectingPick.cs Tweak: When developer mode is enabled and the game loads a stereo sound with RelativePosition=false a warning will be printed. These sounds are not distance attenuated Tweak: world.SpawnItemEntity() now returns the spawns item entity Fixed: origins added by the arg --addOrigin lost after world reload Fixed: Potential heavy bug in api.World.AddSingleDelayedCallback causing a server side exception Fixed: Animatable block entity behavior did not properly ease out animations if they were configured to ease out. Also had a weird hardcoded texture reference in it. Fixed: Should fix block.OnNeighbourBlockChange not getting called on the client in some cases. Might break stuff Fixed: Items with only texture code "all" crashed when placed inside a display case Fixed: entity.WatchedAttributes.MarkPathDirty() called server side had a chance to crash the client Fixed: Reloading the world did not clear external asset origins, causing an ever accumulating list of identical origins Fixed: 3D Wearables rendering issues. ItemWearable.cs now warns if a wearable shape defined a texture but no texturesize Fixed: AiTaskManager.StopTask() did not properly stop tasks Fixed: Renamed namespace VintagestoryAPI to Vintagestory.API Fixed: block/item/entity property skipVariants and allowedVariants: All entries defaulted to the game domain Fixed: Game crashing on stuff like "translation text</i>" Fixed: Should fix placing a block not calling OnNeighbourBlockChange on the client side Fixed: Collectible.OnHeldIdle() was not being called for off-hand items Fixed: Hopefully fixes overlay textures ignoring other mod domains Fixed: <font color="grey"> vtml tag crashing the game, now it defaults to black Fixed: <icon> vtml tag rendering at the wrong position Fixed: Render pass always being Opaque in custom models, baked gltf textures not being added to the texture atlas. Fixed: "Entity wearable shape {0} defines textures but not textures sizes, will probably have a broken texture." reported the wrong path Only the game updates since rc.9 (8 of these changes thats are new since v1.13 are also in above changelog) Feature: when failing to join a server a link to the mod forum boards is displayed. The mod manager now also has a link to the forum Tweak: better sound distribution on fire and coal piles (they no longer start all at the same time when a chunk gets loaded) Tweak: Rough-hewn Fence poles now made of barked branches Tweak: Rough-hewn Fence improved model in inventory Tweak: Eggs and seashells now can be right-clicked to pick up Tweak: Lanterns can now be picked up by right-clicking Tweak: Updated language files Fixed: Should fix some ewes forever milkable Fixed: Player freezing after relogging on a multiplayer server an hour later Fixed: themorning and seraphim tapestry spawning in ruins Fixed: Minor visual glitch with water foam Fixed: Missing spawnradius config translation entry Fixed: Commoner gloves going into the arm slot instead of hand slot Fixed: Might fix a rare server side crash related to the weather system Fixed: Should fix a rare issue where a chunk gets rendered twice and z-fighting happens all over the place Fixed: alt+f2 or .reload textures broke seraph character customizations Fixed: Breaking a block beneath a mushroom crashing the game Fixed: Bismuth Bronze Lantern was named only "Bismuth Lantern" Fixed: Meteoric Iron scale armor leggings recipe was borked in rc9 Fixed: Cooked cattails can no longer be made into stews, soup nor added to porridge Fixed: Rot in Barrel GUI labelled correctly and has new fullness meter texture Fixed: Properly fixed rendering issue of rot in pot in firepit when ssao is enabled Fixed: Frost overlay incorrectly loaded depending on the previously loaded world Fixed: Several issues related to moving meals between crocks and pots Api fixed: "Entity wearable shape {0} defines textures but not textures sizes, will probably have a broken texture." reported the wrong path View full record

Dear Steeled Community v1.14.0-rc.9, a release candidate, can now be downloaded through the account manager. Alrighty! I'm carefully optimistic that this the last release candidate before we can go stable. Game updates Tweak: Pulverizer output better distributed on solid surface (if no hopper) Tweak: Reduce lag spikes when large bodies of water are freezing/melting (technical info: reduced instant-chunk-update radius from 3 to 2) Tweak: Spawn some more particles on in-water dissolving dropped items Fixed: Yet another source of lag spikes (apparently far away players were tesselated? o.o) Fixed: Unable to ignite firepits in claimed areas despite use allowance Fixed: Right click on claimed lands sending more data to the client than necessary Fixed: Dropped boots sinking into the ground Fixed: Potential exceptions thrown during chunk tesselation Fixed: Exception in latest code, fix player character not visible in character screen Fixed: Rot no longer stacking to 64 in Barrel Fixed: Pulverizer output items spawning just inside adjacent solid blocks and quantum tunneling (a.k.a. Houdini) effect Fixed: Missing meteoric iron scale and plate leggings recipe Fixed: Better server side error handling for clients that join with invalid uid/token/playername Api fixed: Hopefully fixes overlay textures ignoring other mod domains Api fixed: <font color="grey"> vtml tag crashing the game, now it defaults to black Api fixed: <icon> vtml tag rendering at the wrong position View full record

What graphics hardware do you have? If its an nvidia card its possible that it selects your slow integrated graphics instead of your high performance one. You can fix that by setting up a profile in the nvidia control panel

They are very rarely found in underground ruins and as of v1.14 the luxury trader sometimes sells them. The one that generates as part of a trader cart should be fully functional if you insert an archive btw.

Dear Steeled Community v1.14.0-rc.8, a release candidate, can now be downloaded through the account manager. Again, a stable release feels like just around the corner, and then another dozen bugs crop up. I do hope we're over the hill now though! Let's all pray to the mighty cookie god that he didn't introduce new bugs for me to fix Build by @Drakker Game updates Tweak: The Cementation furnace and coal piles should now also progress when in unloaded chunks Tweak: Doubled coal pile burn times Tweak: Performance improvements Improve chunk relighting performance in heavily lit areas by about 50-100% (more optimized hash code, replace a hashset with an int[] array, GetChunk caching) Further improve background lag spike issues (don't redraw inventory when not necessary) Improve client side chunk loading performance by ~7% Improve falling block performance (particles are now spawned async, simulate physics less often when there's many falling blocks) Tweak: Falling Anvils do 20x more damage Tweak: Falling blocks do 3x more damage. Animals killed from falling blocks only yield half the resources Tweak: /wgen regen is now capped to a radius of 50 Tweak: Reduced rot yield from dairy liquids Fixed: Some mechanical power blocks not correctly lit by block light Fixed: Might fix a rare server exception causing the server to shut down Fixed: Minor lighting inconsistency between static and animated blocks Fixed: Various major bugs with stationary containers (e.g. basket shift click items) Fixed: Client side exception when another player places cheese Fixed: Rare client-side crash when hoppering items into part-built Pulverizer Fixed: Bell alarm sound not properly unloading in some cases Fixed: Able to go beyond the character limit on sign texts using backspace Fixed: Should fix damage to the player not updating armor durability on the client Fixed: Meteoric helve hammer recipe missing Fixed: Some incorrect clothing items for the clothing trader (+error log) Fixed: Should fix translocators not working when the server is running slow (e.g. when many players are online) Fixed: Translocators not finding exit point and underground structures not seed-deterministic Fixed: Gravel and sand not playing sounds or creating dust particles in the wilderness survival mode Api Tweak: When developer mode is enabled and the game loads a stereo sound with RelativePosition=false a warning will be printed. These sounds are not distance attenuated Api Fixed: origins added by the arg --addOrigin lost after world reload Api Fixed: Potential heavy bug in api.World.AddSingleDelayedCallback causing a server side exception Api Tweak: world.SpawnItemEntity() now returns the spawns item entity View full record
