SCUM - Patch 0.9.530.85517

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

Hey everyone, Happy Monday!! Time for the best kind of community address, in the form of the patch. Some much-needed fixes and return of some of your favorite vehicles, with much more. Check it out!
But before we start, unfortunately, we could not deliver the much-needed update without doing a partial wipe. So there will be a partial wipe for this update as mentioned last week.





Let's start with the one most of you want to hear about. We did some heavy tweaking around the horde behavior, specifically in High Threat Zones. This includes tweaking spawners, refresh rate, and a lot of bug fixing around edge cases. Not everything is solved but we did a big pass on it and we are positive in our testing. But as always you all can test it in a much better capacity than we can. So we are still looking into your feedback regarding it. For more details check the bug fixes.

We also adjusted Mid-threat zones a bit as well, with more to come on them in the future. So there will be some issues with them now as the HTZ was the priority but do not worry, they are in our sights as well.

Do note that we are testing and adjusting the hordes according to official settings. If you crank the puppets up things will most likely still break so use that at your own risk.



Now for something we have teased before as well. There is a wave of vehicles returning, and for most of them, the waves are what you will travel over.

Rafts, SUP, and the high seas life.
A lot of you guessed it already. The rafts are back! And the SUP as well. Yes, they are finally adapted and ready for the new system and can be implemented back into the game. Welcome back.







Island hopping is again much more viable, including you island base building fellows.

Rafts are not the only news regarding vehicles.

Modular dirt bike v2
Yes, the dirt bike has a new pass of modularity. Now the front fender, shield, and body can be replaced, removed, and maintained.



Wait a minute... Zoom in on that. Are those hell rider parts? Yes, indeed they are. With the modular system now every dirt bike can be fitted with hell rider drip.





We are not done yet, some new stuff coming to the vehicles as well.



Another addition to the modular system is the new inventory expansion kit system. There are 3 in total:

• Small - For bikes. motorbikes, rafts, and SUPs.
  
• Medium - For the barba boat (and future vehicles waiting for their return).
  
• Big - This one goes on all cars and the big raft as well.

Indeed now you can carry even more stuff on your long journeys.

• Small can contain any loot that fits inside.
  
• Medium can fit one chest inside.
  
• Big can fit 2 chests inside.

The dream of becoming a drifter is getting closer and closer. Important note is that once placed on the vehicle remember to lock them! The lock of the vehicle does not extend to the external storage.
The expansion kits can be purchased at traders only.



Some nice new items for you as an extra as well.



We have a new mask for you wild men to craft. Horse head mask, because 2012 memes never die.



And for comfort within your own home, with nice soft fuzzy bunny slippers. Just don't let your teammates mistake them for the real thing or you might lose your toes.

Global raid protection
The limit for the raid times is set to 50 different entries, this means that you can have 50 raid times set up. every day, even if in the same string will count as
1 entry (example "day": "Monday, Wednesday, Friday" will count as 3 different entries).

By default, active raid times and days will be displayed with the welcome message and with the message of the day.

If nothing is set in the RaidTimes.json, protection for bases will not be active.

If there is any issue with the RaidTimes.json configuration, error messages will be displayed in the raid_protection.log.

The same day can be used in different "raiding-times" entries unless it has overlapping times. (Also shown in the example below)


Example of RaidTimes.Json:

{
"raiding-times": [
{
"day": "Weekdays",

"time": "02:00-19:30,23:00-23:45",

"start-announcement-time": "30",
"end-announcement-time": "30"
}
]
}

Vehicle destruction log
Vehicle_destruction log is a on/off server setting. By default it is off.
Vehicles --> misc --> log destroyed vehicles.
If it is on, it will show when vehicles have been destroyed, expired or disappeared (sold or other reasons).

What we can do is show you when vehicle is destroyed (unrepairable) and when it disappears by inactivity (expired).
It will still trigger disappearance if it disappeared after being destroyed, if it fell through the map, if it was sold to the trader.

To check what happened here, you should:

Go drone mode
Teleport to the location provided
Then copy paste the entire visualize command and you will see a blue line and the vehicle flying to simulate what happened there
You also have the user that got kicked and the ID of the vehicle so you can find the vehicle on the map

Abandoned bunker armory setting
It is by default on, which means you will have loot in armory only on activation. (natural activation or by keycard)
If you want it to be like it was before, change it to off.
#ReloadLootCustomizationsAndResetSpawners true works either way if you want to reset loot there.
