Excellent news. I look forward to testing it!

[Hosty 647]

Only thing that is preventing Alpher for me to call it stable is that audio bug.

 

Nevertheless good job Rocket!

"Temporary status indicators for state of player in the inventory screen (thirsty, sickness, hunger, etc...)"

 

Woohoo!

Updated build number to 113772

[rocket 16567]

• Roadway LOD issue fixed that caused floating loot for some buildings

[rocket 16567]

Closed test was successful. Published to experimental branch although only one server has it, others will be rolled up.

 

NOTE AGAIN: the new indicator system will only work on NEW events. So if you character is already dying of thirst, you will not see a thirst indicator. If your character is already bleeding, you will not see a bleeding indicator.

[rocket 16567]

Currently working new indicators:

• Bleeding; your character is bleeding from anywhere. Bandaging will remove it.
• Hungry; your character needs to eat. Color indicates level (temporary, will come up with something better for colorblind folks). Eating will remove indicator when hunger is sated.
• Thirsty: your character needs to drink. Color indicates level. Keep drinking until no longer there.
• Sick: your character feels very ill. You may have eaten too much, have food poisoning, or some illness. Can progress to Fever if you have a fever.

Shown in inventory screen.

Approved for distribution and rolling update into stable branch.

This could take several hours, and involves some additional files to update for servers so this may take some time.

 

Also reports of issues with steam authentication, so now seems like as good a time as any for an update.

[rocket 16567]

IMPORTANT:

 

This is our first live update and it is also a complicated one for our server hosters. So please try and be patient.

 

What will happen is your steam client will update to 113772, and some of the servers will be on older versions. They will still let you connect but will cause issues, such as:

• Not being able to open doors
• New features not working

If you have the new steam update, filter for 113772 but realize there are only the six dedicated experimental servers up now.

 

We estimate it will take about three hours for all servers to update.

 

If you stay connected to the server your steam will not update and you will be able to keep playing on that server. If you disconnect and your steam updates, when you play on any older server your game will not function as well.
