Unturned Dev Tracker

@DeerryteTV Make sure to take some time off, too!

Do you like long difficulty to read lists? Well then, I've got every Unturned changelog from the 8th through 9th anniversaries merged here for you:

@UnturnedOnSteam: Welcome to Buak in the 3.23.10.0 Update Notes:

On Friday he was diagnosed with the dry variant of Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). His health had deteriorated exponentially recently. The vet recommended euthanasia soon. We had it performed at home, so he went to sleep calmly and peacefully, and much loved.

This afternoon Jasper passed away. He made it to the relatively old age of 17. He was a very sweet cat, and we were lucky to have him at SDG as Chief Bug Hunter.

👀 Something to do with the recent disturbances reported near the PEI lighthouse? 🤔

@UnturnedOnSteam: A new Firefighter Zombie Plush is coming next Friday! To celebrate, we're giving away one Firefighter Zombie Plush thr…

For example, more than a month before yesterday's update I made a seemingly minor fix to handle newline ('\n') in unquoted strings. By yesterday I had forgotten it was even part of this update, lo and behold it caused issues in quite a few mods!

Monthly means servers are stable for longer and gives me more time to work on bigger changes, but is more likely to need multiple patches which is perhaps more annoying than weekly.

Weekly or every second week is annoying for many players because servers have to restart for them, but in general they're less likely to need a patch/hotfix. (for example because there are less changes overall to have unexpected interactions)

Picking an update frequency is tricky.

@DerEnt3c Multi-threading the asset loading was my main goal for this update, the hitmarker and scope changes were mainly to avoid it being a "boring" update. 😉

For the first two days of the poll it was ~75% Yes and ~25% No, but on the third day there was a big surge of "No" votes along with duplicate/copy-pasted comments. I believe the sentiment from the wider community is "Yes".

Is my course of action removing Ukraine war RP servers correct?

Of course the hosts claim the reports are all from Russians pretending to be Ukranian trying to get the servers removed. Then there are a mix of follow-up tickets saying either "I'm Ukranian and want it restored" or "I'm Ukranian and want it blocked".

These past months several roleplay servers set in the Ukraine war have been reported which I have been removing from the server list for their insensitivity of the real tragedy / promotion of the invasion. Generally the content is "play as Russian vs Ukraine army".

@NylexHD @staswalle @P9ndaxd Currently transparency isn't handled in these very well. My hope is that can be improved in a future engine update.

@staswalle @P9ndaxd Maybe it should be yellow?

@P9ndaxd Funnily enough they were updated in bulk a week or two ago, and gradually the cached version is being updated. Unintentional slow reveal?

@Diddlyono @P9ndaxd It's been on my mind recently! Few to-dos and making sure it doesn't clash with any map releases.
