Earlier this year the lower-level network data packing and messaging systems were rewritten. This update builds upon those by rewriting the gameplay-level netcode systems. All features should work the same, but with improved performance especially on the server side.

These changes unlock many possibilities for the coming updates that were previously limited by poor netcode restrictions. In particular the voice chat should perform noticeably better now. Items under active consideration are listed on the roadmap, excluding ideas without a solid plan yet:
View Unturned Roadmap[trello.com]

The upgrades should be backwards compatible with most server plugins, but in some cases adjustments are necessary. Thanks to many plugin developers for working with us to update their code in advance of this update!

For details about the decisions and thinking behind this rewrite consider reading the accompanying blog post:

Added:
  • Higher quality replacements for all of the original footstep sounds.
Changed:
  • Server replaces steam_appid.txt before initializing Steam.
Fixed:
  • Disable weather if duration is set to zero.
  • Weather hash kick if weather changed during request.
  • Snowmobile wheels in Russia tank factory.
  • Elver radio backpack light position.
Footstep Sounds:

Most of the original footstep sounds were amateur recordings of me jumping around the neighborhood. There was not much variety and the quality was dubious, so they have all now been replaced by professional recordings. One of the noticeable areas of improvement is walking in and out of the ocean: what was previously only two clips is now separated into four depths with numerous clips each.

Netcode Preview:

The work-in-progress gameplay netcode rewrites went up on the preview branch last week. At this point all of the client->server code has been upgraded, and most of the server->client code. It should be stable for release in a week or two. Highly recommended for plugin developers to take a look.

Most of the development time this week was focused on the next set of netcode improvements. They will hopefully be available on a beta branch sometime next week.]]> 3.21.9.0 Update Notes https://unturned-servers.net/blog/316/32190-update-notes/ https://unturned-servers.net/blog/316/32190-update-notes/ Fri, 05 Mar 2021 18:41 CET Weather:
Rain and snow have been built-in for a long time, but not in a way that was customizable or extendable. There were even some old comments in the code for "todo: heavy rain storms". They have now been rebuilt in a moddable fashion so maps can customize them or add new weather events, and lightning storms on official maps are planned for a future update.

Update Notes:

Added:
  • Collision audio for bullet casings and spent shells.
  • Full support for custom weather. Hardcoded rain and snow have been converted to custom weather.
Changed:
  • Replace personal name when streamer mode is enabled.
Fixed:
  • Fixed admin flag ignoring hide_admins during initial connect.
  • Placement of kill counter on Nightraider.
  • Z-fighting quad on log under wooden window.
  • Buildable door snaps to end of animation on load.
  • Asset validation checks motion vectors are enabled.

  • Include terrain materials in level hash.
  • Spending NPC currency while currency condition is active.
Network Messaging Changes:

Following the network packing rewrite from earlier this month the code responsible for low-level network messages like the queue, authentication, BattlEye, etc has been rewritten. These systems are now more performant, resilient, and sets the foundation for the next step: game netcode improvements.

Important notice for plugin developers: the next set of network changes will remove support for RPC onTriggerSend and onTriggerReceive.

Watch the Elver Update Teaser Trailer Here

This marks the final major expansion of the Elver map: a mind-bending endgame questline that greatly surpasses the Russia Mk. II easter egg. Elver has received hundreds of quality additions since its initial release such as fortifiable bunkers scattered throughout the forests, so now is a great time to come back and check out the newest version.

Read the Full Update #10 Notes Here

To host a server running the map add its workshop file ID (2136497468) to the File_IDs list in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json, and set the map to Elver in Commands.dat.

For the next two weeks a variety of exclusive new free items will be dropping:


This project was created by danaby2 and Renaxon. If you enjoy the map and would like to support them, consider checking out the Elver Map Mystery Box II or Elver Map Bundle II on the Stockpile:

The main goal for Unturned this year is to rewrite the netcode, and this update lays the foundation for that by rewriting the code for converting game data (e.g. position, rotation) to and from bytes sent over the network. Client and server performance should be slightly improved by this replacement, and since packing is done at the bit level rather than byte level now more data can be sent with less bandwidth. This is only the beginning however!

Update Notes:

Added:
  • Weather_Status and Weather_Blend_Alpha condition types for NPCs.
  • Per-level custom weather scheduling and multipliers in server config.
Changed:
  • Rewrote underlying network serialization / deserialization code.
  • Name filters apply to friends-only nickname as well.
  • Experimenting with updating uGUI visibility at end of frame to avoid flickering artifact.
  • Options menu shows horizontal and vertical field of view.
  • Removed unnecessary icons from the extras folder. They can still be generated from the editor.
Fixed:

Support for switching between the older (IMGUI) and newer (uGUI) HUD implementations has been added. This is intended for players experiencing visual artifacts and flickering with uGUI until an engine fix is available, or if you really prefer the old one. Note that some menus like crafting and the inventory behave slightly differently between the two. If you would like to use the old HUD:
  1. Right-click Unturned in your Steam library
  2. Click "Properties..."
  3. Click "Select Launch Options..."
  4. Add "-Glazier=IMGUI" without quotes

This update aims to address the feedback following the patches to the HUD update last week.

One of the major points was text legibility. In large part because the softer shadows could make it appear blurry. The shadowing has been revised, and much of the UI has been adjusted to only use them where necessary, for example on colored text and against colorful backdrops where the contrast is needed. Otherwise menus have been reworked to contrast with the text without shadows, and colored text usage has been reduced in favor of other indicators like disabling buttons.

Performance was another big concern, so there have been a lot of optimizations to the UIs that were causing hitches. As an example opening a storage locker with hundreds of items in IMGUI could spawn all of the UIs in a single frame because there was no overhead, whereas with uGUI there is a lot of setup required - to mitigate this there are a certain number of item UIs created per frame now, and all of the components needed (e.g. images, text, buttons) are recycled between usage (pooled) to reduce the setup time - this extends to all the UIs in the game.

Holiday Festivities:




Throughout the winter holidays each level is sporting some seasonal decorations. In particular PEI is temporarily covered in snow. Gifts containing high-tier weaponry can be found under christmas trees on official maps, and the NPCs have donned their santa hats.

Changelog:

Added:
  • Per-storage horizontal inventory scrollbar.
  • Light theme only color preference for rarity backdrops.
  • Option for custom text shadow color.
  • Accepted a few new skins from the curated workshop.
Changed:
  • Revised text coloring and contrast throughout UI.
  • Improved scaling of inventory grid sprites.
  • Optimized creating and destroying basic UI elements by pooling them.
  • Optimized initialization of UI components before reparenting them.
  • Improved performance opening large storage by time-slicing the item UI creation.
  • Improved nearby inventory performance by time-slicing the refresh.
  • Text chat entry field uses color preference rather than admin/gold colors.
  • Loading screen bar uses foreground color preference rather than difficulty color.
Fixed:
  • Hide menus off-screen for a single frame when they are enabled to hide uGUI activation artifacts.
  • Second line of Chinese text in chat being truncated.
  • Right-clicking outside item popup box now closes the popup.
  • Several straggling hotkeys triggering while typing in text fields.
  • Plugin UIs visible while finishing loading.

If you have been playing Unturned for a long time then you know that the menus and HUD have rarely changed. And at first glance that is still the case. Nevertheless there has been a major rewrite of the UI systems which has released with this update. I always find it annoying when software changes the UI for seemingly no reason, so preserving the existing (albeit questionable) appearance, design, and functionality was a top priority.

Across the board the menus and HUD should look and feel "better". Some players will notice a performance boost: in particular the compass, hotbar, and map overlay were optimized. Rich text in the chat fades out properly. Crosshair animations finish properly. Tons of Mac and Linux bugs have been fixed (e.g. the wonky gamma on Mac). Lots (but not all) of the UI spaghetti code has been untangled.

On the technical side: prior to this update the game was still using IMGUI from Unity 4. Unity replaced IMGUI with uGUI in 2014-2015, and are now even planning to replace uGUI with "UIElements". With this in mind I decided to abstract the underlying Unity UI implementation, so it will be easy to integrate UIElements once it is stable. I had been wanting to upgrade from IMGUI for years, but with the amount of work required it kept getting pushed down the road. In the end if took one month of refactoring, and then one month of intermittent development on the beta branch.

Changelog:

Added:
  • Events for vehicle locking/unlocking and local driver.
  • Valid_Speed_Horizontal for modded vehicles with speed the server cannot predict e.g. force applying components.
Changed:
  • Whitespace and newlines are trimmed from start and end of sign text.
  • Swimming while snowing with Snow_Affects_Temperature disabled no longer causes freezing damage.
  • Clamp item drop multipliers for enemies to prevent huge values (100+) from stalling the game.
Fixed:
  • AI problems with unbaked navmeshes in the level.
  • Dialogue with message-response pairings out of bounds.
  • Display of custom item action text and tooltips.
  • Warning for rocket launcher firing sound.
  • Spinning while leaning to glitch nearby inventory through wall.
  • Workzone highlight camera defaulting to enabled.
  • Default value of Allow_Horde_Beacon should have been enabled.
  • Box-selecting objects without gameobjects in devkit.
  • Moving devkit objects in and out of regular level bounds.
  • Potential cleanup bug causing gun effects to be claimed by two guns at once.
  • Placing items in object windows after the transform hierarchy optimizations.
  • Selecting the sky in workzone mode after the transform hierarchy optimizations.
  • Improper handling of BOM/preamble in dat files.
  • Gap in cliff near PEI lighthouse.
  • Several gaps in Germany caves.
