B835 – Fixes and Mapcycle Changes

Hey guys, another patch to deal with some of the strange things from last build and some annoyances people have been having 🙂

We’ve reshuffled the map cycle because we’re as sick of the maps as you. We’re going to work on some more maps taking into account the finer points of the gamemode fairly soon as well. Feel free to do your own experiments on your servers to figure out what works, would be nice to have a bit of variety. We’ll be incorporating anything excellent that we see into the vanilla maps as well.

Fixes include the workshops bug, placing spikes in hall, archer arrows damage and appearance bugs, and much more, full changelog below, big changes in bold as usual.

[modified] necromancer orbs more dangerous
[modified] challenge level bugs fixed
[fixed] arrow does only 0.5 damage or sometimes none, and sometimes misses shield
[added] special case ignore parent facing code for layers that shouldn’t turn when parent sprite turns
[fixed] arrow turns wrong way when shot blob turns around
[modified] stun from arrows only when they’re full charge (less flinch from weak arrows)
[fixed] cata rocks doing piss weak damage
[fixed] workbench expiring in 2 seconds
[modified] trees dont clip tilemap so much (or at least look nicer while doing it, and provide more places to hide)
[fixed] walljump fumbling
[fixed] building spikes in no build zone
[script] fixed crash in sprite onTick when blob had an error
[modified] faster hall capture in single
[modified] hopefully better boat collisions
[added] easier access to warboat rear
[fixed] bomb destroying bedrock
[added] camera centers to middle ofmap on map change
[modified] reshuffled default map cycle
[fixed] unable to pack catapult
[modified] can’t pack catapult with ppl inside of it
[fixed] drill sound in inventory

As you can see we’re working hard at the moment, we may have another patch before the weekend or may hold it for a bit longer if there’s no issues preventing play like the workbench and arrows.

See you ingame!

Edit: MM would like to add that if you could run the server though gdb and provide any backtraces from crashes to us that’d be very helpful. Server admins take note.

Edit Two: I just found and fixed an issue with TDM where it would constantly restart, it also fixes a lot of console spam in affected servers. The patch will be a short while after the release of B835 so be sure to repatch any TDM servers you have.
