This update isn't as epic as most. So there aren't as many goodies this wipe. We've mainly been working on behind the curtain stuff to try and improve the server performance. However there are some additions to the server.
Lit torches will prevent cold damage.
A very useful perk for the upcoming map.
Most weapons will now have a dual capacity clip.
Some have larger. Some are still Vanilla.
Either way, your spray 'n pray ability is increased x2 on all auto weapons.
The Auto Purge of "abandoned" bases will take place shortly after the server comes back online.
Based on the several tests I've run, it should happen before players are able to log in.
So no more uber lag while the server cleans itself up.
The PvP plugin is patched. It was bugging out because it was running a check for the clan plugin which I had pulled.
I was going to put the clan plugin back. But it's really tough to decide on how to set things up.
By default, it forces you to make a clan any time you try to make a team.
That's bullshit.
And it forces you to make a team if you try to make a clan.
That's bullshit.
I could shut all of those options off.
But the automated creation of a team while making a clan makes sense.
It makes things so much easier as far as clan management is concerned since most players don't read about/know about the /cmenu (clan ui) plugin.
You can just kick players from the clan or leave the clan through the team menu.
But with this in place, you can't be in a clan and on another team.
So yeah. Clans are still on hold until I figure out how to set things up in a way that works for everyone.
Because right now it's brute force clan creation.
Which is bullshit.
I know I keep saying this. But raid bases are still in the works. I have them operational (currently down on the test server right now), so that's not the issue. It's the loot tables for each tier of bases. What's fair for your time and resources invested? What's too little? Too much? That and the whole damn system keeps changing. Honestly I want to find another plugin to use since the developer is a fucking asshole. But this is the best one out there. So gotta take what there is. The Enchanting plugin appears to still be broken so it's going to be removed next wipe. The /upcrate plugin will be removed as well to prevent any further item loss. Both are great plugins. But they aren't working properly or at all. So they're gone for the time being or possibly forever. Depends how things go. But that's about it. New plugins are already in place.
Just have to pull the broken ones in a few days and things'll be all set.
Also. Lovecraft Country is awesome.
Only on the second episode. No spoilers
