no problem.
and again:
seems there is a bug in the api.

before anything is loaded from my recipes, the game recipes are duplicated loaded.

CustomRecipeLoader only initated and you can see in the log that all game recipes are duplicated.

@Tyrondo we have to use another way now?

Yes, override, AssetsFinalize if you want to modify assets

You can use Photopea to resize it

Neat! I added a small section for this on the wiki - https://wiki.vintagestory.at/index.php/Framerate_and_Performance#For_Linux_users

Dear Extraordinary Survivalists
v1.17.0, a stable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager.

Time for stable! As with the 1.16 release, there is still a number of known bugs for some players, but I estimate it is more stable than 1.16.5 by now. This major update contains over 350 features, tweaks and fixes. Getting this update out took us longer than we hoped for, as we also spent roughly 4 months creating a new trailer alongside and did some deep engine changes. As always, this update would not have been possible without the incredible amounts of feedback and bug reports by you, the community. We are very grateful for your support, thank you!

Eerily repetitive to my previous stable post, the theme of this update also majorly morphed during development. While the main focus was meant to be de-jank, we also added visual spectacle for use in the new trailer, new creatures, some significant performance improvements, massively reworked the water physics system and added some features long requested by the community, such as armor repair, fish and an oxygen meter.

For 1.18 we hope to primarily focus on story-telling and game lore with lots of new dynamic structures added to our world generator. Stay tuned!

All game updates since 1.16.5

• Feature: Lightning strikes!
  • Damage creatures in a 8 block radius
    • Lightning rods can redirect lightning, be sure to place them in an elevated spot
• Feature: 200+ new blocks: lore rich "clutter" blocks and bookshelves with rich visuals. Currently these are only in the Creative inventory. These will be added to Survival worldgen (in ruins, tombs, etc....) in the future 1.18 Lore Update
• Feature: Huge water physics update
  • All non-solid blocks can now be submerged, water can flow through them and they can become embedded in ice if it freezes
  • Stones, boulders, seashells and ruins are now also generated underwater during world generation
  • Directional water physics. Doors, slabs, chiseled blocks, etc. now provide directional blocking of water flow for greater realism
  • Panning from sand and gravel blocks which are in or next to water, the reduced layers block can also become submerged
• Feature: Added oxygen meter. Players can now only hold breath for 20 seconds underwater, as opposed to infinite air
• Feature: More visual spectacle during temporal storms and low stability
  • Added large turning gears in the sky
  • Additional "flowing rust" shader effects on blocks
    • More wicked glitches and particles
• Feature: Improved Player armor
  • Armor no longer disappears when its durability reaches 0, but it will lose all its protection.  Protection degrades as the armor durability reduces
  • Armor can now be repaired using its base material. Repairing armor has half the material cost.
  • Lowered the cost of crafting lamellar armor to be more accessible. Rebalanced blackguard and forlorn armor crafting costs to match repair costs for other chain/plate armors. Forlorn now requires some luxury materials to suit its fanciness.
  • Damaged armor will look visibly damaged
• Feature: 300 types of shields
  • There are now nearly 300 types of shields in the game. Materials can be mixed and matched. More shield models to be added in the future
  • Shield durability is now dynamically determined based on the materials used: hardwoods and stronger metals add durability to the base durability value
  • Added metal hoops and bosses. Made by smithing. Shields are now crafted with hoops and bosses instead of metal plates
  • Rebalanced shield durability. Blackguard shield no longer top durability, but cheaper to make than full metal shields
• Feature: More and prettier flora

  • Added flowering water lily
  • Added silver torch cactus to desert mountains. Painful on touch!
  • Berry bushes are now fluffy (can be pruned with shears)

  • New creatures: Brown bear, black bears, sun bears and pandas now spawn in the world
  • The first fish: Salmon. No fishing or boats just yet, the salmon is only decorative right now
  • Fox pups now spawn as well
  • Can now pet tameable animals when they are generation 1 or higher (right-click a creature to pet it). Petting causes creatures to stand peacefully
  • Termite mound remake. Added much larger versions. All termite mounds are now rock typed. Added rare large patches to Savannahs
• Feature: Improved Creature AI
  • Attacked creatures should now react more quickly
  • Improved creature AI tactics - when an attacking creature cannot reach its target and gets hurt, it will make a tactical retreat. Every time it gets hurt again, it will retreat further. Should mitigate the pillaring + ranged attack weakness of most creatures.
  • Fixed animals sprinting around a target because they overshoot the destination. Now they slow down near the target
  • Bears and other large creatures in general should no longer become stuck when wandering
  • Creatures walking into solid walls will attempt slight strafing movements to get around the wall
• Feature: Extensive visual tuning
  • Much improved graphics quality when using resolutions below 100% - as it is no longer blurry (therefore, lower resolutions can be used to improve FPS without much loss of fidelity, especially on 4k monitors)
  • Improved sun ambient color and water reflections to reflect the sky colors
  • Prettier main menu - all main menu screens are now dialog based over the background image
  • Much improved reflective shader effect and more configuration options for modders for reflective stuff
  • Improved lava visuals and effects

  • Tweak: Added seraph chiselling animation
  • Tweak: A bit of rotation randomization on items placed in a display case
  • Tweak: Chickens now peck on the ground for longer, but now also peck for random durations
  • Tweak: Gravel texture now randomly rotated, which greatly mitigates any repetitivenessTweak: Fine tune amaranth crop texture, more fluff to some of the seraph hairstyles, fine tune layer of sticks model and texture, thicker stem for the bamboo sapling, added a bit of thickness to the condenser model
  • Fixed: Visual glitch glowy geometry during fog
  • Fixed: Weird AO on shelves against the wall

  • Fixed: Terrain below flowing water had inconsistent shading at the end of the water flow
  • Fixed: Some inconsistencies in block sunlight levels below placed/flowing water blocks
  • Fixed: white or wrong particle colors when breaking leaves, fruit-tree leaves, berrybushes and waterlilies
• Feature: Massive performance tuning
  • Faster chunk loading: We have changed our internal compression algorithm from deflate to ZStd, which is several times faster for both the server and clients and single-player (details: on Windows platform a native library libzstd is used, on Linux and OSX platforms, currently, a .NET version of the Zstd library is used)
  • Even faster chunk loading and reduced memory usage: We have changed our internal chunk data storage method to palletised chunk storage, which needs two to four times less memory on average while the game is running, and made other improvements in memory efficiency, so the game uses less RAM while running, leading to smoother overall performance
  • Faster worldgen: The worldgen can now usually "keep up" with player motion as the player moves into new areas of the map
  • ~40% faster game starts: Lots of fine tuning and multithreading during the startup process should greatly reduce the game startup time. (Single player Creative world load time was 17 seconds in 1.16, now 10 seconds in 1.17, YMMV)
  • Improved overall FPS: Grass and flowers are now (optionally) drawn using instanced rendering which improves FPS and allows more fine grained control over grass for future projects - this is an optional setting, enable it in Graphics settings, as it seems to cause some issues on some models of graphics card
  • Improved server TPS: AI pathfinding is now multi-threaded; many other entity ticking performance improvements; mitigated slow ticks caused by drifter and butterfly spawning; mitigated slow ticks caused by farmland and berrybush; for significantly fewer slow ticks / lag spikes overall
  • Greatly improved GUI dialog creation performance (the dialog edge blur algorithm now skips over the center part of the dialog)
  • Reduced SSAO quality on the "Medium SSAO" setting for more FPS
  • Improve FPS when rendering very large inventories, like the creative inventory (50 FPS -> 100 FPS)
  • Tweak: Increased server MagicNumbers values to reflect faster chunk loading speeds and faster worldgen - servers are encouraged to experiment with the servermagicnumbers - especially ChunksColumnsToRequestPerTick, ChunksToSendPerTick and ChunkColumnsToGeneratePerThreadTick to find their own optimal values
  • Temporal storm particles are now async for greater performance
• Feature: Added a wrench tool. Can be used to re-orient chutes, stairs, slabs, logs, pillars and plaster. Can now change armor stand arm pose with a wrench.
• Feature: Added Lookat camera mode. Makes it so that in the overhead camera mode the seraph looks into the camera. Enable via .clientconfigcreate overheadLookAt bool true
• Feature: Added Desert storms. Block colored fog effect in dry areas with lots of sand, when there are strong winds
• Feature: Reworked waypoint dialog. Icon and color are now a grid of clickable icons.
• Feature: Added craftable top hat, bamboo hat and straw hat
• Feature: Major player improvements
  • Tweak: Seraph voices reworked. The previously experimental seraph voices system is now the new default.
  • Tweak: Improved immersive first person mode. Death animation no longer glitching into blocks and knapping should be easier (work in progress)

  • Feature: Added "protect eyes" pose to seraph during strong winds
  • Feature: Additional visual effects when cold

  • Loose stones and boulders now also spawn in caves
• Tweak: Game controls fine tuning
  • In the Settings menu, the Mouse settings and Keyboard controls are now split across two tabs
  • New controls option: Ctrl-click and Shift-click mouse modifiers can now be separate from the Sprint and Sneak keys (so you can re-assign Sprint to something other than the Ctrl key, but still use a Ctrl-click mouse action)

  • When the Handbook refers to keyboard controls, it shows the current assigned key
  • Block interaction help now shows mouse modifiers (by default, Ctrl- and Shift-) before the mouse button

  • Bulk add material to the Bloomery is now Ctrl + right-click, for consistency with other bulk adds
• Tweak: Gameplay balance tuning
  • Major berry bush and crop growth times and yield rebalance, with the ultimate goal being crops becoming in sync with the seasons.

  • Added a small respawn timer: the death dialog now appears with a 1.5 seconds delay
  • Double the drop rate of crystallized ores. They were waaaay too rare IMO
  • Hares can no longer jump over fences in snowy conditions; reduced hare spawn max light level from 8 to 6 to further mitigate them spawning in farmlands
  • Boosted breadfruit satiety 120 -> 200

• Tweak: Players should no longer spawn underwater in new worlds. Search range for solid land broadened, if it still fails to find land, it will spawn a block of planks for the player to rest on instead, i.e. a mini-raft
• Tweak: Dye System fine tune
  • Dyes are now made with water instead of diluted alum/cassiterite/chromite. Need to be sealed for a while before they're ready.

• Tweak: Adjusted lamellar armor crafting to follow the same principle of scaling hide sizes as above ^. Wood lamellar can now be repaired, only requiring firewood.
• Tweak: Oiled/curing hides now also scale according to hide size. For example, 1 piece of fat can make 4 small oiled hides, 2 medium hides, or 1 large hide. Huge hide now requires 2 fat.

No idea how that happened, must have been a hiccup during the build process O_O

Uh, no idea. I only changed the font paths:

Is VS using only own fonts, or system fonts as well? I ask because VS fonts look different on Windows and Linux.

For most text, VS uses a system font. Some buttons have a custom font.

Oh @Tyronone more thing: If you're going to follow my suggestion earlier of putting the game in a place accessible to all users, that's what the /opt directory is for. If you are going to modify the installation script to include choice of user only or all users, the installation mode for all users should put game files into /opt.

Is that compatible to most linux distris?

Dear Feature-Rich Community
v1.17.0-rc.6, an unstable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager (section "Other Goodies").

My apologies for the long wait, I was on vacation/family visit and also had to tend after my garden, as there is lots to harvest now - potatoes needing to be dug up, tomatoes needing to be turned into tomato sauce, cucumbers in need of pickling and so on

[Edit:] Released rc.7 as well. rc6 deleted the players waypoints.

the fog system was not changed in 1.17 - it should work the same way, but you have to delete them every time you install an update.

lightning flashes could be disabled by deleting the respective weather event json file in game\config\weatherevents

Adding negative time is not supported and no longer possible in 1.17.x

That being said, you might have more luck getting in your world in 1.17.x. I added some fixes there.

Hey, you use the second account - the one where you redeemed your code. Password reset for that one is here - https://account.vintagestory.at/requestresetpwd

thanks, i'll adjust the font paths
