Unturned-Servers.net Blog Feed en https://unturned-servers.net/ Fri, 10 Jul 2020 18:02 CEST Unturned-Servers.net is a Unturned servers list. Its goal is to provide an efficient way for players to find a server that suits their needs and also for servers owners to get more players on their servers. 60 3.20.6.0 Update Notes https://unturned-servers.net/blog/275/32060-update-notes/ https://unturned-servers.net/blog/275/32060-update-notes/ Fri, 10 Jul 2020 18:02 CEST Vehicle Building:

Several settings have been added to Config.json for limiting the size of vehicle bases:
  • Allow_Item_Placement_On_Vehicle (true / false)
  • Allow_Trap_Placement_On_Vehicle (true / false)
  • Max_Item_Distance_From_Hull (meters)
  • Max_Trap_Distance_From_Hull (meters)
In particular, the trap settings are intended to help prevent roaming walls of death.

Emissive Materials:

Following the recent Unity upgrade and post-processing upgrade, the bloom threshold has been raised to only affect pixels with >1 emission. This prevents bloom from interfering with bright surfaces like beaches. The emission colors on a few hundred materials have been adjusted to match, and especially the bloom on fire looks nicer. If any materials were missed or look odd feel free to report them as a bug and they will be adjusted.

Rocket:

Servers using old versions of Rocket will now be required to update to a newer version. There was a warning about this in the server console in the previous update, but now it is mandatory. This is important because there are fixes for legacy Rocket issues like multithreading exceptions and teleportation exploits.

General Additions:
  • Added Quest_Boss_Respawn_Interval (seconds) option to help prevent abusing quests to farm boss tier loot.
  • Added flags for plugins to disable life meters and status icons.
  • Added EffectSpawner component for Unity event hooks to invoke.
  • Added Rubble_Reward_Probability [0, 1] for destructible objects.
  • Added collection tags to Steam items.
General Changes:
  • Upgraded vanilla flag, placard and sign items to use Unity's newer "TextMesh Pro" replacement for text meshes. This looks nicer and offers better performance.
  • Per-level server config overrides only apply if the server is using the default value.
  • Tools like carjacks and lockpicks can be used by admins in safezones for cleanup.
  • Item placement preview materials are two-sided, and no longer red/green. Some items had one-sided faces, and the red/green was bad players with deuteranopia.
  • Attached barricades ignore vehicle colliders regardless of name. Previously only colliders named "Clip" or "Block" were ignored.
  • Workshop submission menu tries to check for write permissions.
  • Potentially save time during startup by only checking official guns, melee and beans for skins.
  • Expanded navmesh at the mine on the Russia map so zombies from the Northern entrance can reach the soul crystal.
  • Exiting vehicles tests whether seat capsule is overlapping world. Should prevent wedging the tops of short vehicles like bikes into ramps to exit upwards.
  • Links to box items are not shown in regions where they cannot be opened.
  • Line break markup is formatted in item descriptions.
  • IOBS spawns the interactable effect for Effect, Effect_On and Effect_Off transforms if present.
  • Featured workshop item is slotted below unseen announcements in the news feed.
General Fixes:
  • Fixed entering vehicles through player collision volumes.
  • Fixed disabling interaction highlight when salvaging a barricade attached to a vehicle.
  • Fixed movement and vehicle mispredictions related to the underground whitelists.
  • Fixed placing barricade attachment being one frame late. This caused barricades placed on moving vehicles to sometimes get left behind.
  • Fixed barricades placed on doors not attaching to vehicles.
  • Fixed missing Bistro #1 and House #11 window slots.
  • Fixed failed parsing of graphics command-line values throwing an exception.
  • Fixed nailgun maximum starting ammo.
  • Fixed ammo and repair blueprints not respecting critical supplies.
  • Fixed potential issue with lobbies.

  • Fixed fire and acid weapons dealing damage on PvE servers.
  • Fixed Use_Airdrops config only applying to survival mode.
Visual Fixes:
  • Fixed refreshing hotbar icons when item state changes.
  • Fixed item hotkeyed to 0 showing as 10.
  • Fixed not resetting atmospheric fog when returning to main menu.
  • Fixed atmospheric fog influence on sun rays and aurora borealis.
  • Fixed layout of large images in the menu news feed.
  • Fixed a misplaced parking line in St. Petersburg.
  • Fixed brightness of stars.

Highlights include:
  • Post-processing effects have been upgraded for performance, quality, and fixes. In particular the first-person viewmodel skins now benefit from ambient occlusion and bloom.
  • Valid underground spaces have been manually designated, so players out-of-bounds are automatically teleported back into the map. Along with fixes to miscellaneous physics exploits this ought to put a stop to underground glitch bases.
  • Many new toys for creators from the basis of custom weather events (e.g. sandstorms) to replacing the vanilla crafting recipes in total conversions.

Update Notes:
Gameplay Changes:
  • Added Non-Headshot Armor Multiplier to zombie config for difficulty or headshot-only modes.
  • Added Bypass_Buildable_Mobility to gameplay config which allows sentry guns and beds on vehicles.
  • Allow_Instakill_Headshots player config applies to zombies when Weapons_Use_Player_Damage is enabled.
  • Passengers cannot repair their vehicle unless per-vehicle Can_Repair_While_Seated is enabled.
  • Oil pumpjacks and fuel tanks can hold 4x as much gasoline.
  • Cannot build on vehicles with occupied seats.
Miscellaneous Changes:
  • Accepted several new skin submissions from the curated workshop.
  • Added confirmation button to menu notifications replacing the dismissal timer.
  • Added underground whitelist volumes that teleport out-of-bounds players back above the terrain.

  • Replaced client-side Steam inventory quantity consolidation with automatic server-side stacking.
  • Anonymous name is shown rather than groupmate nickname while in streamer mode.
  • Upgraded from Unity's post process stack v1 to v2.
  • Zombies stuck during horde beacon are teleported to a valid spawn point.
  • Reworked third-person camera to use sphere sweeps (rather than raycasts) when testing for obstructions.
  • Master bundle hashes are included in game asset hashes to prevent overriding with modified versions.
  • Structures disable LOD group culling to prevent entities from being seen inside bases.
  • Moved asset bundles into per-platform depots to reduce download sizes.
Server Hosting:
  • Added support for Steam game server login tokens. Docs[github.com]
  • Warn about old versions of RocketMod during server startup. Newer versions have important fixes. Docs[github.com]
  • Linux ServerHelper.sh script defaults to steamcmd's steamclient.so if available.
  • "+connect" command-line argument properly works with non-standard ports. (Only used 27015-27030 range before.)
  • Added -OfflineOnly command-line flag for dedicated servers that disables requests to internet. In LAN mode it skips the Steam backend connection and uses locally cached workshop items. There will need to be some netcode reworking before purely offline multiplayer is fully supported.
Custom Modding:
  • Added ability for song assets to use master bundle references and legacy localization. Docs[github.com]
  • Added Valid_Speed_Up and Valid_Speed_Down for vehicles to override sanity checks. (meters per second)

  • Added Override_Atmospheric_Fog setting to ambiance volume.
  • Added CraftingBlacklistAsset which can be used per-level to restrict available crafting recipes. Docs[github.com]
  • Made Ground Upgrade Wizard easier by timeslicing the upgrade and defaulting to grass.
Plugin Development:
  • Added -ConstNetEvents command-line flag to debug whether plugins are writing to the network buffers.

  • All RPCs have individually tuned rate limits to reduce abuse of macro spam. Previously most RPCs shared a common limit.
  • Tidied up effect spawning user code with EffectManager.spawnEffect method that wraps sendEffect.
  • Images used by plugin UIs are cached, and plugins can force a refresh.
Miscellaneous Fixes:

  • Fixed locally predicting removal of Steam tool target item.
Exploit Fixes:
  • Fixed infinitely removing tires using a socketwrench in the safezone.

  • Fixed zombies losing track of players when leaving bounds vertically. Helicopters were being used to lift zombies out of range of horde beacons.
  • Fixed an undiscovered potential RPC exploit with trees.
  • Fixed glitching through ground underneath Germany ADC hangar.
  • Defer enabling character rigidbody forces until the frame after respawn to maybe fix some vehicle issues.

Welcome to Easter Island - now available in-game! From an unprecedented number of unexplored underwater relics to the unrelenting lava flow destroying the Northern shore, this map is quite an adventure.

To host a server running the map add its workshop file ID (1983200271) to the File_IDs list in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json, and set the map to Easter Island in Commands.dat.

This project was created by Steven "MelonCat" Nadeau, Thom "Spebby" Mott, Ben "Paladin" Hoefer and Nolan "Azz" Ross in collaboration with Smile Dev and with thanks to Doug Soderstrom, Danaby2, Madison "Froggo" Wilder and Timo987.

If you enjoy the map and would like to support them, consider checking out the Mystery Box or Bundle on the Stockpile:


Recent Changes:
  • Rocket is included in the Extras folder with several post-archival bug fixes.
  • France is available on the workshop directly from the creators.
  • Workshop file download restrictions prevent banned items.
  • Fullscreen option split into Exclusive and Borderless.

Official maps using the newer foliage system have all been updated to improve file IO performance. Beforehand each map had many separate files for individual regions. Afterward each map has only a single file combining all of them. This significantly speeds up the "validate game cache" process, downloading updates and downloading workshop maps.

For details on upgrading custom maps: Read Docs[github.com]

General:
  • Added "Only Equipped" filter for cosmetics and skins.
  • "Insane" skins received attachment skins by Debski.
  • Care package boxes crush players underneath them.
  • Dedicated server handles the Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Break request.
  • Console explicitly defaults to UTF-8 encoding, and the UTF-8 code page on Windows. The Windows built-in SimSun font is recommended for Unicode display.
  • Changed doctor skillset and support icons to hearts.
Fixes:
  • Fixed several movement exploits by disabling overlap recovery and reverting move if character passed through anything.
  • Fixed loading levels with duplicate foliage or landscapes.
  • Fixed Winter Pine Tree #01 billboard red tint.
  • Fixed animal ragdoll exception if missing rigidbody.
  • Fixed sentry gun eye draw distance.
  • Fixed silent swimming exploit.
  • Fixed misc issues with missing item animations, and log if missing.
  • Fixed overlapping barricade placed on vehicle.
  • Fixed server exploit advertising different workshop items than downloaded.
  • Fixed case where gun could be dequipped immediately after shooting.
  • Fixed problems with quest rewards that granted multiple items.
  • Fixed unable to use skycrane hook and blimp in multiplayer.
  • Fixed prematurely unmuting the loading screen in a few cases.
  • Fixed delay updating lighting when Use_Skybox_Ambience is enabled.
  • Fixed sun and moon atmospheric fog color during rain and snow.
  • Fixed emissive flags on many materials.
Modding:
  • Added "-LogAssemblyResolve" command-line flag.
  • Log animal and object missing animation clips with validate flag.
  • Log context for unsupported resetting of NPC quest condition in multiplayer.
Translation Tools:
  • HUD debug text can be translated in Console.dat
  • Translated EconInfo.json is now loaded from localization's folder.
  • Maps can translate location names e.g. "Oulton's_Isle Castle" in their localization files.
  • Localizations can contain a "Maps" folder with per-map translations e.g. "PEI.dat".
  • Language setup is logged during startup.

Throughout the winter holidays each level is sporting some seasonal decorations, from gifts of weaponry under trees to NPC outfits. Cosmetic present boxes are also dropping for a limited time.

Unlike past years where certain maps had a separate decorated version, PEI is using a new "redirector" feature that changes the map for the duration of the event. This allows saves to transfer, and for the map to be replayed in subsequent years.

Fog Density:


Historically height fog and distance fog have been configured separately, and were optional. Creators can now enforce fog from a thin morning mist to a thick soup.

Vendor Currencies:
NPCs trading for experience does not exactly make a ton of sense.



Originally the idea with the Liberator was a somewhat socialist mix of "helping out the community builds experience" and redeeming favor for items. Starting with P.Riso however, NPCs can instead trade for arbitrary "currency" items whether that be the Canadian ones, or a custom set.

For more details: Read Docs[github.com]

Steam Inventory:
Upgrades for the in-game Steam inventory view.
  • Boxes and bundles label ambiguous item types in the description.
  • Skins list attachments and other details in their description.
  • Descriptions of items can be searched in-game.
  • Items can be sorted by factors such as rarity and name.
  • Searches match multiple tokens e.g. "mask warloc" will find the "Warlock Mask".
Respecting the Geneva Conventions:
Unturned has been unwittingly misusing the Red Cross symbol in-game, which has now been corrected. The Red Cross is a humanitarian organization, and preserving the meaning of the symbol is important to protecting their personnel and patients.

For more information: Read Here[www.redcross.ca]

Affected in-game assets include the healthbar, ambulances and medical tents which have been converted to hospital H's. If you find other uses in-game please let me know.

Quality of Life:
Pressing the Up and Down arrow keys in chat cycles through previously sent messages. This is intended to make it easier to send repeat commands.

Maps in the Singleplayer menu have links to browse internet servers running that level. For maps with complex names this should make it easier to find matching servers.

The minimum level of detail (LOD) screen size has been doubled, and player models maximum draw distance matches structures. Raising the minimum LOD seeks to prevent players from being seen before structures are drawn in. Likewise the maximum distance can no longer be raised separately.

Official proper documentation for server hosting has begun, and is linked from the Servers menu.

Resolution Overrides:

To help avoid miscellaneous issues that occasionally arrise related to resolution, several overrides have been added.
  • If Unity command-line resolution is specified the game will not try to override it.
  • In-game resolutions are overridden if -w #, -h #, -width # or -height # are specified on the command-line because those are often suggested.
  • When UI scale is misconfigured it can be fixed up with -ui_scale # on the command-line, or in the Preferences.json file.
New Gameplay Options:
Allow_Per_Character_Saves is enabled by default, but can be disabled to prevent multiple characters per account from being used to store items offline.

Group_Player_List can be disabled to hide group alliances from the in-game player list.

Friendly_Fire allows groupmates to damage each other when enabled.

Modded Content:
Vehicle Physics Profiles:

Increased control over vehicle settings can now be done in bulk with this new asset type. In particular most of the vanilla vehicles have been changed to front-wheel-drive for stability.

One of the goals introducing profiles is to improve the handling of vanilla wheeled vehicles. Feel free to experiment with the default profiles, and propose changes to them.

For more details: Read Docs[github.com]

New Event Scripts:

Several new scripts have been added to the built-in package. These allow custom interactable objects to run extra commands now, and for chat messages to control objects similar to the Russia easter egg quest.

For more details: Read Docs[github.com]

General Improvements:
  • Custom interactable objects can use navmesh cuts. Refer to the aircraft carrier door in the example package.
  • Body mesh replacements can hide hair and beard.
  • Hair_Override option for hats, glasses or masks to use hair material.
  • Maps on the workshop can specify the "Custom Game" category.
  • Infinite_Ammo and Infinite_Quality options for sentry guns.
  • Subdirectories of the Sandbox directory are treated as workshop folders for testing.
  • Workshop menu links to the newer documentation site.
  • Salvage_Duration_Multiplier for individual buildable items.
  • Min_Spawn_Placement and Max_Spawn_Placement for trains.
  • Hint message popup NPC reward type.
  • Door and window slots are somewhat supported on vehicles.
  • Kills_Tree NPC condition type.
  • Guns support in-world Ammo_Counter text component.
  • Allow_Collision_While_Animating option for doors to restore old behavior.
Reload Command:

When tuning assets in singleplayer the "/reload" chat command can be used to quickly reload changes to a single file. It accepts a GUID or a specific directory path to reload. For example /reload a gun asset and then equipping the gun will use the new values.

Consumeable Changes:
  • Bleeding_Modifier can be set to None, Cut or Heal.
  • Bones_Modifier can be set to None, Heal or Break.
  • Oxygen is settable and can be positive or negative.
  • Hallucination and stamina are replicated when using healing items on other players.
  • NPC rewards can be triggered with Quest_Rewards # and Quest_Reward_#_X.
  • Items can be granted with Item_Reward_Spawn_ID #, Min_Item_Rewards # and Max_Item_Rewards #.
Weapon Changes:
  • Player_Damage_Bleeding can be set to Default, Always, Never or Heal.
  • Player_Damage_Bones can be set to None, Always or Heal.
  • Player_Damage_Food, Player_Damage_Water, Player_Damage_Virus and Player_Damage_Hallucination have been added.
Level Editor Searches:
  • Search fields support multiple tokens, and masterbundle filter e.g. "mb:france".
  • Reusable lists of objects from favorite searches.
  • Resource placement tool has a search field.
For more details: Read Docs[github.com]

Code Plugins:
Events and improvements for plugins.
  • Vanilla death menu can be disabled by EPluginWidgetFlags.ShowDeathMenu.
  • onAnyFlagUpdated event for quest progress tracking.
  • onRelayVoice event for custom voice channels.
  • sendUIEffectImageURL allows dynamic images to be loaded from a web address.

  • Tire tool onModifyTireRequested event.
Fixes:
Editor:
  • Fixed pasting scale not working properly when in global coordinate system.
  • Fixed applying weights in spawn table editor.
  • Fixed flying while GUI has focus. There is a related issue with right-clicking a button and dragging off, but that will be resolved in a future Unity update.

  • Fixed handling of integers over big endian connections.
  • Fixed several potential causes of barricade and structure desync issues, and added related warnings.
  • Fixed serverside movement pausing if teleported onto a ladder.
General:
  • Fixed rest gesture not resetting upon entering a vehicle turret.
  • Fixed hostile animals fleeing from noise alerts rather than investigating.
  • Fixed exiting vehicle when exit distance was slightly too near a wall.
  • Fixed vehicle exit ground test to consider vehicles, and allow up/down points.
  • Fixed clicking suicide button while already dead not re-opening death menu.
  • Fixed zombies falling out of the map to get teleported to a valid spawnpoint.
  • Fixed zombies not being killed by death barriers built into objects.
  • Fixed running GUI code during unused layout event.

We hope you enjoyed these postcards from the new map! California is now available in-game, and is the first return to the United States mainland since Washington in 2015.

Watch Release Trailer Video

To host a server running the map add its workshop ID (1905768396) to the File_IDs list in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json, and set the map to California in Commands.dat.

This project was created by clue and Renaxon with special thanks to Letgalian and Vilespring. If you'd like to support them consider checking out the Journalist and Mercenary bundles on the Stockpile:



Miscellaneous Changes:
  • Added California Journalist and Mercenary bundles to Stockpile.
  • Organized editor tools, mod hooks and project settings into Project package.
  • Documented project setup and example assets: Getting Started[github.com]
  • Included berries, ambient audio and road textures in ExampleAssets package.
  • Fixed drag-selecting multiple items in admin building editor.

Text Contrast Preferences: Settings for outlines vs shadows on text have been added to the Preferences.json file. They are split into text with colorful backdrops like the game world and map, and text with inconspicuous black/white backdrops. Values are "Default", "Outline" or "Shadow".

Door Collision: Animated colliders on doors, hatches, shutters, etc are now disabled while playing the animation until nobody is overlapping them. This is a more drastic approach aiming to prevent remaining physics exploits involving doors.

-ValidateAssets Improvements: More checks have been added, and miscellaneous core content has received fixes. Key warnings have been documented here: Read[github.com]

Should_Delete_At_Zero_Quality: New option for useable items. Intended for disposable melee weapons that break after a certain amount of usage, but compatible with all equippable items. Can be set to true, defaults to false.

Misc:
  • Mask, glasses, and hat mythical effects are horizontally centered.
  • Target (yellow) arena circle is animated on map overlay.
Fixes:
  • Projectiles like rockets and grenades no longer collide with world borders or collision volumes.
  • Character mesh override restores 1st person mesh for viewmodel after dequipping.
  • Grizzly magazine alignment was changed to match Zone Defender skin.
  • Skin names which did not match the item name were synchronized e.g. Crusader Blade skin was changed to Crusader Katana.
  • Carpat cosmetic texture compression was corrected.
  • Vehicles with default rigidbody and wheel collider mass are slightly increased if Wheel_Collider_Mass_Override is not set.
  • Zombie difficulty asset stun thresholds are saved from devkit.
  • Teleporting to obstructed map markers uses the highest available position.
  • Invalid quests without details or assets are excluded from quest list display.
  • Monolith object uses gravel physical material like other boulders.
  • Zeus hair normals are smoothed like the base hair.
  • Doors can be placed in House_12 porch doorway.
  • Attachments with missing models will not be spawned, and warnings are logged during loading.
  • If individual asset version is higher than master bundle version it will be used instead.
  • Materials with standard shader and transparent render mode have keywords set similar to fade mode. Previously only fade render mode had keywords adjusted.
  • HWID includes several other factors, as a concern with deviceUniqueId was raised.
  • Closing admin editor cancels drag.

Until November 1st the event is active:
  • Decorations have been added to some towns on all of the official maps, and the Liberator dress-up party has returned.
  • Halloween Gift Presents containing costumes and skins are dropping.
  • Several community-created items have been accepted to the Stockpile. In particular the Warlock and Obsidian Knight bundles are quite appropriately themed!
Enjoy your Halloween, and happy trick-or-treating!

Unity 2018.4 LTS:
Unturned has upgraded from 2017.4 to 2018.4. This change should be mostly behind-the-scenes, but I'll be keeping two eyes out for the bug reports. Some of the direct benefits include:
  • Nested prefabs for modders, significantly speeding up asset development
  • Headless dedicated server optimizations and performance improvements.
  • Significantly improved .NET / mono stability, and stability in general.
  • Terrain rendering CPU optimizations via instancing.
For more details on the update: Read More Here[github.com]
In the future this will allow us to update the outdated post-process effects, and take advantage of the scriptable render pipeline for superior performance.

Miscellaneous Changes:
  • Added -ValidateAssets command-line option, and moved some of the slower asset checks behind this flag.
  • Asset checks for missing meshes are now more thorough for more asset types.
  • Multiple workshop maps can be specifically highlighted at a time now.
  • Reworked logging systems, in particular benefiting servers. All information is in the Client.log or Server_XYZ.log files now.
  • Fixed item drop exception for misconfigured animals.
  • Lighting material values are cached before changing.
  • Disabled unused Unity player loop subsystems.
  • Object visibility updates are only checked while changing zones.
  • Text outlines are only used on colorful backgrounds, and other text now has shadows instead.
  • Fixed featured item labels to only show during new time window.
  • Updated all vanilla terrain shaders to take advantage of instancing, and corrected some specular lighting issues.
  • Fixed small values in some attachments being ignored.
  • Sort-of workaround for GUI color problem on MacOS.
  • Improved material and shader fixup process for older asset bundles.
  • Stripped a variety of code that should not be in the game itself.
  • Mute game volume on loading screen. There were some annoying noises depending where the loading camera was.
  • Updated from SplatPrototypes to TerrainLayers API.
  • Replaced usage of WWW with UnityWebRequest.
  • Prevent duplicate asset bundle loading in the pending master bundle list.

This is a precautionary measure to prevent items from moving between inventories, and should be lifted relatively soon. Valve have replied and are sorting the problem out, and it only affects old items. Any further news will be edited into this announcement.]]> Temporary Trade & Market Restriction https://unturned-servers.net/blog/253/temporary-trade/ https://unturned-servers.net/blog/253/temporary-trade/ Wed, 02 Oct 2019 06:05 CEST here.]]> 3.19.15.0 Update Notes https://unturned-servers.net/blog/252/319150-update-notes/ https://unturned-servers.net/blog/252/319150-update-notes/ Fri, 20 Sep 2019 21:17 CEST Dango Map:
Danaby2, creator of several wildly different maps such as the wild-west Canyon Arena, has now released his latest creation: Dango

This map is set on a series of flying islands inspired by Japan, and intended to be played as a multiplayer deathmatch. It features a suite of insane new weapons like a fish launcher which fires backwards, and is definitely worth a visit in-game.

Mystery Box Changes:

As you may well know, it's been about two years since the last mystery box was added. Given the controversy around random items we focused instead on individually purchasable item bundles, however the older mystery boxes are still in high demand. To try and offer the best of both worlds, the new Dango Map Mystery Box is different from past boxes:
  • Collection of all items is available for purchase on the Stockpile, not just from the box.
  • Each item has an equal probability of being unboxed, and can be hovered over to see the percent chance.
  • Boxes have a 10% chance of dropping an additional bonus item e.g. kill counter.
  • Dango box is available on the Stockpile, and does not require a key.

Going forward version numbers will follow a 3.{year}.{update}.{patch} pattern. In the past updates were split between "major" and "minor", but this lead to huge skips in version numbers when releasing several maps in a row. Unturned had been following the previous scheme for slightly more than 5 years, so this style was experimented with for map versions and Unturned II prior to commiting to it.

Workshop:
  • Files used by a server can be subscribed or unsubscribed from the sever info screen. Subscribing will keep the files up-to-date and save time joining the server.
  • Subscribed files can be enabled or disabled from in-game without uninstalling them. This menu is linked from the singleplayer workshop maps list, and the in-game workshop menu. Changes take effect the next time the game is started.
General Improvements:
  • Included example server scripts on Windows and Linux.
  • Added ability to skip unboxing animation with Esc key.
  • Mouse-over items in mystery boxes to see individual probability.
  • Halloween and Festive menus, as well as promo menus as async loaded.
  • Rainbow jersey item was added to playtime drops.
  • Musical mythical effect minor adjustments.
  • Adjusted trophy skin gold/silver appearance.
  • Clarify refresh categories on server list.
  • Threaded console is no longer the default on Linux.
Modding:
  • Has_Global_Electricity in level Config.json. All level config properties have now been documented in the U3-Docs repository.
  • Strings with >255 length are now replicated for custom UIs.
  • Level can override dropship model, see DefaultLevel.asset file.
  • EffectUI command can be used from server console.
  • All attachments can affect ballistic damage, not just magazines.
  • Allow_Manual_Drop item option.
  • Zombie difficulty assets can override stun values.
  • Marker text can be overridden by plugins.
Fixes:
  • Several issues with loading objects at the world border on "insane" map sizes were fixed.
  • Discoloration on top of Metal Bench #1 has been corrected.
  • Viewmodels and enemy models now properly work with >4 LODs, and game objects are found from the LODGroup renderers list.
  • Yukon sea level is disabled.
  • Beta invite is no longer marked as consumable.
  • Client locally marks box as used when repeatedly opening boxes.
  • Secondary weapon slot takes priority over primary when picking up items.
  • Workshop update config accepts rich text and should not be clobbered.
  • Case where kick/ban/shutdown might not have been sent was potentially fixed.
Recent Events:

MoltonMontro, a friendly and helpful guy you may have met in the community over the past few years, is now working with SDG in an official capacity. He's going to be helping out with a variety of projects like curated map quality control and community blog posts, as well as behind-the-scenes work he's been helping with for some time like maintaining the wiki and forum servers.

Documentation for 3.0's modding features is now available from a main repository, and will be expanded over time for new features and write-ups on older features. This includes both plugins and assets. Most recently the level config properties have been documented.

Last week the France map team released a sizable patch with a variety of interesting balance changes e.g. new scrap item for Focus weaponry. For more details: Read Here

Maps:
  • When searching for a particular map, the server list will only show servers running the same version as you have installed. The map filter has also been replaced with a text map name filter which allows searching for maps not installed locally. If a local map is detected (by prefix) the search will use that full name.
  • Improvements to how curated maps are featured in-game. Rio's release was not as clearly communicated, so the map has been re-featured.
  • Workshop maps feedback button links to discussion board.
Hosting:
  • Dedicated server monitors for updates while hosting a workshop map. By default the server will notify players that it is shutting down for an update, but this can be configured in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json or overridden by plugins.
  • Auto workshop downloads now try to use cached installs aggressively. Steam does cache auto-installed items for a period, but still prefers to re-download them. Now the game looks for the "Needs Update" flag, and if not detected, will skip re-downloading. The goal here is to improve join times for servers with large numbers of auto-download content, but if problematic, subscribing will keep the content up-to-date.
  • Threaded console is now the default, but the older console can be enabled with -LegacyConsole command-line flag. This may conflict with Rocketmod's console on Linux until updated, however the hope is to improve vanilla dedicated server support.
Plugins:
  • Hashed player hardware ID is available server-side for use banning. Cheaters will obviously use fake HWIDs, but it's another tool in the administrative tool belt.
  • Server relay can immediately redirect. If there is a negative player response to this feature it will be adjusted or disabled.
Modding:
  • Made Mannequins moddable and exported an example package.
  • Guns with fire delay can include "FireDelay" sound played at input.
  • Slot type "Any" for useables that can be equipped in primary, secondary, or inventory.
  • Can_Aim_During_Sprint option for guns.
  • Allow_Magazine_Change gun option similar to Hook_X options.
  • Should_Fill_After_Detach option for magazines. This effectively provides infinite ammo, with the trade-off of choosing the time to reload.
  • Visible_On_Ragdoll option for large clothes.
Fixes:
  • Vehicles now respawn up to max instances when multiple are destroyed simultaneously.
  • Disconnect if server workshop usage does not match advertised usage.
  • Fixed potential exploit destroying holiday / timed objects.
Curated Map | Rio de Janeiro:

Travel to South America with Rio, now available in-game! It features iconic destinations such as the redeemer statue, and has future updates planned. For more details check out the map's workshop page: Read Here

You can also install the map from in-game by navigating to Play > Singleplayer > Curated and clicking subscribe, or searching for "Rio de Janeiro" on the server list. After Steam finishes downloading the map, Unturned will detect it and install the map without needing to restart.

Going forward curated maps are being distributed through the workshop - more details in the previous 3.30.5.0 update notes. This Rio section is at the bottom of the update notes because at the time of writing the map is featured prominently at the top of the main menu.]]> 3.30.5.0 Update Notes https://unturned-servers.net/blog/247/33050-update-notes/ https://unturned-servers.net/blog/247/33050-update-notes/ Sat, 03 Aug 2019 01:21 CEST Curated Maps:
If you're reading this from the in-game menu within a week or two of the update coming out then you can see that Rio is featured above!

In order to reduce load times and keep the installation size reasonable, curated maps have typically been transitioned to the workshop after several months. This was problematic for a variety of reasons however, such as suddenly having to subscribe to the map in order to keep its assets, or for hosts needing to switch the server to the workshop version.

With the recent improvements to the game's workshop integration (e.g. auto-detecting workshop dependencies, installing while in-game), my hope is that taking this featured article approach will improve all aspects of the curated maps system:
  • Creators have full control over their article and can patch / update the map without waiting for me to release a main game update. This was one of the reasons for adding per-map version numbers.
  • Maps will not get moved to the workshop after an arbitrary period.
  • If you're not interested in the map you can click the "Dismiss" button in the top-right to hide it and return to the trending workshop items. Note that the curated articles are shown for a specific number of days before going back to the default.
If you have any feedback on these changes please share!

Update Notes:
  • Added onEnterVehicleRequested, onExitVehicleRequested and onSwapSeatRequested events.
  • Added gun attachment change request events.
  • Added onConsumeRequested and onConsumePerformed events.
  • NPC Event reward delegate passes instigating player.
  • Fixed id/name upgrade log spam related to devkit objects.
  • Fixed landscape tile basemap distance during satellite capture.
  • Included All_Tool_Items unity package in examples.
  • Misc improvements to -ThreadedConsole mode.

  • Popular and featured workshop item articles can now be dismissed. If the carousel is empty then the next-most popular item is used.
  • Featured workshop item subscription can be managed from the title menu.
  • Workshop subscriptions changed while in-game are detected and update the maps list.
Server Workshop Improvements:
  • Moved WorkshopDownloadIDs.json into WorkshopDownloadConfig.json. Server now caches query results and will retry when query fails.
  • Whitelist/blacklist download restrictions are now enforced during connection.
Quality of Life:
  • Flashbangs can no longer be used in safezones or around friendly sentry guns.
  • Teleport command and NPC teleport rewards now report when destination was obstructed.
  • Oxygen now persists between logins to prevent resetting it at high altitudes.
  • Stockpile new label is now dismissed when the button is clicked.
Map Creation:
  • Added support for per-level tips, enabled by setting "Tips" to a number in Config.json, and then adding Tip_0, Tip_1, Tip_# to localization file.
  • Added level Allow_Skills and Allow_Information config.
  • Added Prevent_Building_Near_Spawnpoint_Radius to level config (default 16.0).
Asset Creation:
  • Custom objects can specify Add_Kill_Triggers true to cause Triggers children with name "Kill" to kill players.
  • Added Can_Use_Underwater true/false for equipable items which defaults to false for primaries.
Plugin Development:
  • Added questCompleted event for plugins.
  • Added updateReplicatedState barricade function for plugins.
  • Added helper functions for plugins to easily spawn replicated buildables.
  • Added onPerformingAid and onPerformedAid events to UseableConsumeable for plugins. Individual stats are best compared by using both, as theys always occur in pairs.
  • Disabled many missing asset related errors when -SkipAssets is enabled.
  • Replaced serversideSetPluginModal with EPluginWidgetFlags granting more control of UI.
  • Tidied up some of the damage events by moving parameters into structs, and tracking the damage instigator.
Game Config:
  • Added gameplay config for disabling structure, barricade and vehicle zombie targeting.
  • Added Use_Airdrops to gameplay config.
  • Added Enable_Kick_Input_Spam and Enable_Kick_Input_Timeout config.
Server Console:
  • Hosts can now specify -NoWin32Console on the command line to prevent the Windows server from manually allocating/freeing a console window.
  • Separated Windows-specific console input/output from shared console code, and allowed plugins to override IO handling by implementing ICommandInputOutput and calling setIOHandler. When using a custom handler you can specify -NoDefaultConsole on the command line.
Fixes:
  • Fixed Paddle repair blueprint.
  • Fixed clothes not respecting Should_Drop_On_Death option.
  • Vehicles in safezones now properly ignore all damage.
  • Fixed not loading per-map .content files from workshop during connection.
  • Fixed log files not sharing read access.
  • Fixed several plugin network events not wrapped in try-catch blocks.
  • Fixed cancelling pending exchange notification.
  • Fixed Spread_Aim between 0.8 and 1 visually increasing crosshair size.
Miscellaneous:
  • Menu notification system which was added back in 2017 but never used now supports timed windows and dismissing it, so today it links to the Short Film Contest voting stages. I expect we'll see it again for future community events.
  • Accepted three new outfit bundles.
