[quote][b]Changelog for v. Furious Koala 26/01/2014[/b]
Hey there Stargazers and Sports Racers, it’s been quite some time since the last patch, and we have some very large changes dropping this release.
[b][u]Code Changes[/u][/b]:
[list][*]Absolutely massive changes to disk serialization (sorry reversers), which will allow us to never need to wipe players or ships again, and hopefully never need to wipe worlds again.
[*] - Related, we now have a proper versioning system for save files.
[*]Added difficulty levels and permadeath characters to the game.
[*]Packed assets into databases (speeds up startup significantly), and included asset packing and unpacking utilities with the distribution.
[*] - This should also allow for easier distribution of mods, and easier construction and management of slimmed down distributions for dedicated servers (official server paks coming soon.)
[*]Fix some graphical glitches with the wire nodes.
[*]Fixed some pretty nasty deadlocking bugs with networking.
[*]Fixed some very strange memory leak bugs stemming from a gcc lambda capture bug.
[*]Fixed various crash bugs related to a number of different issues (more specifics listed in “Info About the Upcoming Patch“– thanks for the bug reports, keep em coming)
[*]Speed up improvements with falling sand and other projectiles.
[*]More efficient databases storage layout.
[*]Documentation for lua functions have been written, and we’re going to release them soonish.
[*]Removed NaN floats from the code for performance reasons (reenabled -ffinite-math-only), we had been using them to signal that the float is disabled or in an invalid state, but we have a system for that now.
[*]Some internal changes that make maintaining code much happier for us, including better enum to string handling and much faster compiles.
[*]Other minor things, too numerous to list here (see “Info About the Upcoming Patch“).[/list]
[b][u]Fun Changes[/u][/b]:
[list][*]It’s no longer the holiday, so we’ve removed the holiday stuff for now, we’ll put them back when we have a better way of enabling it for holiday time.
[*]PVP is now forced enabled within Sector X. If you’re in a party there’s no team damage though.
[*]All player drops are persistent now. So if you accidentally throw your diamond drill down a mineshaft, you don’t have to suicide trying to get it back before it disappears.
[*]New Monster attacks (gravity slam! gust attacks! other stuff!)
[*]Fixed Legendary Weapons damage (adjusted up to be more… well… Legendary.)
[*]We’ve put in new Techs (such as a Glitch Mech).
[*]New biome type enabled. Savannah.
[*]Boss Lore!
[*]No more eating bandages and stims, they have their own thing now.
[*]Better, more featureful .abc file support, and we have Wanderlust music in the game now. (Thanks Leth and D2!)
[*]Made NPC chatter more configurable and slightly more varied.
[*]Added new objects (such as lava biome treasure chests).
[*]Added new items (like nightsticks and bonesaws).
[*]Sword swooshes are only active for 0.6 seconds instead of 0.9 seconds.
[*]Making cooldown times actually matter without slowing down combat. Also fine tuned their hitboxes.
[*]Viking helmet? Viking helmet.
[*]Watch out for landmines.
[*]Various changes to treasure drop pools (like Avian Guards actually dropping their guns…)
[*]Minor tweaks to existing armors to make them look better.
[*]Medieval Furnace now actually acts like a Furnace. (Rejoice).
[*]Graphical upgrades to some existing plants, and new plants.
[*]Lots more secret stuff! :OOO
[/list]
We look forward to hearing what you think about the patch. It was a very big one this time around.[quote]
