Build 1047 - Tweaks and Modding Fixes

We’ve been working with modders this week on getting some specific issues fixed and a few examples of “how to do X” in preparation for that modding showcase. Particular thanks to Norill, Skinney, and Rayne along with the rest of the testers and anyone posting in that call to arms thread.

Other changes this build are mostly minor, with a gameplay focus.

Pictured: Common fear of many Australians, now tweaked for more balance despite my fondness for crying enemies.​

• Water ammo only stuns through shield on a direct hit
  This prevents water spam from being too detrimental and counter-competitive; It’s a change that’s been on the list for quite a while, but as expected it was somewhat fiddly to do properly over the net.
• Arrows take no damage from jabs, only slashes.
• Water arrows splash when killed rather than turning into one bit of wood.
• Fire arrows do 2 full hearts of damage instead of 1.75 hearts (1 heart on hit, 1 heart of burn)
• Fixed mods not downloading new files the next time.
• Fixed not being able to load maps from Mods/ folders.
• Added example custom tile mod - note that this is only the tip of the iceberg, to have a tile that takes damage, animates etc you have to roll a lot more of your own code, which is not for the faint of heart.
• Fixed joining modded server the first time often crashing.
• Joining modded servers only preloads used files (much faster joins for small/simple mods)

Full Changelog:

[modified] gold stacks to 500, not 1k per inventory slot
[added] increased burn time - fire arrows now do 1heart damage + 1heart burn
[script][fixed] getPlayer(i) should return null now when player count is 0 or index is wrong
[fixed] mod loaded only on 1st time game launched

[added] example for new block in scripts
[script] made it a bit easier to handle custom tiles in mods (use a modded CustomBlocks.as)
[modified] arrows cannot be jabbed, only slashed.
[modified] just first day of playing won't show modded servers (was 2)
[fixed] joining modded server 1st time resulting in crashes

Hate hate hate! Narl left ;_;

 

Yea nice update.
Narl Server development close.
and Servers shutdowns.

btw have nice jokes about Russian like it so much!

{
CBitStream requirements;
AddRequirement( requirements, "blob", "grain", "Grain", 1 );
AddRequirement( requirements, "blob", "trader", " Russian", 1 );
addFoodItem( this, "Russian Burger", 6, "A hamburger made of a veiny old person.", 30, 1, @requirements );
}

 

I see that you didn't play SIlent Beta. Early Trading Post called as "Обмен" and there was Russian Burger, that was "funny". But now it's stupid, seriously

Also. Devs broke mods with their "fixes". Mod files can't be downloaded. Client downloads only .as scripts and nothing more. Thanks for breaking it. I replied to the MM already, waiting for the answer or hotfix

Yes, we're having it

 

Looks like in some views we are same.

 

Just telling it's one of the worse KAG updates, literally fucked up mod system.

 

Server crash at test.kaggen map:

19:56:22] Key not found [ground_noise_frequency] in config file 'Maps/test.kaggen.cfg'
[19:56:22] Closing console device: Signal 6 received

 

>that moment when modding fixes break modding

 

>that moment when Klokinator tries to be funny

 

it's the every moment


also lol@the RUS

on topic: holy shit arrows and fire!? thats pretty cool man!

 

every time i start single player game it moves all my active mods to C:\Mods lol
i noticed "Mods" and "old" folders randomly popping on my C: drive before this build too, but it didnt remove anything from kag folder before

 

I told you and replied to the MM...

I didn't say "Everything is fucker". Waiting for hotfix ;)
