Devlog KAG Build 2962 - Recording Mode Fixes, Community Recognition, Single Quarry Limit

Hey folks! Been a bit more of a delay on this one as some bigger changes went into testing and had to come out again due to issues. Sorry for the delay on getting patreon heads, accolades and some important balance things through to release!

Without further ado, here's the changes:

The big thing in terms of balance this build is a limit of 1 quarry per team. This is in response to the more competitive side of the game finding ways to really streamline quarry production and use it to stall out games. For servers who want that kind of thing, it's quite an easy change to revert.


There are also improvements to the f6 "video recording" mode for streamers and folks recording for youtube. This provides a cleaner no-gui experience for when you want a good screenshot or video capture.

The cursor is still visible, the spectator camera works again, going into menus will disable it all properly, and for modders, render hooks are still called (so you can decide manually what to disable).
Thanks to Epsilon for his work on this!

Quite a few minor fixes also made it in, and the main menu "minor function" buttons recieved a small facelift + reorganisation, as adding a button for the server rules pushed everything over too far.


Cheers,
Max

Quarry limit: details in this commit - ie cost_quarry_count in CTFCosts.cfg should do it

 

naw I think he meant, in pub games, the tryhards/minecrafters could make ridiculous structures and get ridiculous money, making games take forever. has nothing to do with private competitive games.

Limiting the team's number of a certain workshop is a little weird, seems simple (or "lazy" in your words) but I mean, if that's what works then it's fine. There's nothing inherently wrong with simplicity. The change limits the amount of stone a team can crank out. If you have a better idea and know someone who'd be willing to do the coding to make it happen then let's hear it, but until then, this is better than nothing.
