Build 939 – Partial unicode support, Water and Saw Tweaks + Many Fixes

This is mostly a fix build, but has a few nice additions too.

There has been partial unicode support added. We’re looking into the areas where support is not so good (anything that doesn’t get entered or shows up as ???). Either way it wont mess up the console output any more, and you can now say the other team got rekd™.

Votekick now has a confirm dialogue to prevent a mis-click from making you boot someone you didn’t want to.

Saws teamkill again (no more seas of saws, thank god) but turn themselves off after they saw a teamie. This should help curb griefing and accidental loss of life and limb.

Lots of crashes have been fixed, obviously not all of them but a fair number of independent ones.

Buckets also no longer stun anything. Thank god for that. You may optionally thank me for that too ;^)

News on Steam keys for Desura players

If you’ve bought the game from Desura and are trying to get a Steam key you’ve probably encountered that right now you can’t do it. Unfortunately we have a serious defect in our key generation system that doesn’t allow to do this safely for Desura. 

You will get your Steam key when we write the system to distribute the keys, we will have this working this week.

After we do this, purchases from Desura most likely won’t grant you a Steam key. Only the ones from before.

So if you’ve purchased already on Desura, don’t worry, you’ll get your Steam key this week.

EDIT by Furai:

Please redeem your gold codes on your accounts. There is no other way for us to verify that you come from Desura and are eligible to get KAG key.

Here are the instructions.

B935 – CTF & TTH tutorials added

I added the much needed game mode tutorials for Capture the Flag and Take the Halls. They are a bit text heavy but I’m quite in a hurry and couldn’t do something more fun in a day. The important thing is you will learn all the necessary things about the game modes from playing these tutorials.

Some things were cleaned out. Like saw killing team mates (too griefer friendly and annoying). Item arrows and far item destruction in TTH workshops. I find those things useless and confusing so I removed them.

Also, fixed Necromancer not appearing at final map in “Save the Princess”. This must have sucked, but you can play it again now if you missed him.

Have fun!
MM

Other changes in build 935:

[modified] saw doesn't kill team mates (too annoying!)

[fixed] can't hit constructed rooms in CTF as builder.

[script][added] convenient builder_alwayshit_fragment array for partial name matches (eg "shop" for all shops)

[remove] far item destroy button

[removed] item arrows in workshops

[fixed] texts appearing in front of research menu

[modified] renamed peasant/migrant to worker wherever necessary

[fixed] crash in minimap on next map

Update – servers auto-restarter

To smoothly transition into new builds I made a server auto-restarter which checks if there are any updates available (happens on map change) and then restarts the dedicated server to update into new version. Awesome right? No more manual restarting and empty server browser on new patch.

If you do not want your server to auto-restart just set this config:

sv_restart_on_update = 0

Buy 3 Copies Get One Free

We just added a 4-Pack to the Steam store page so you can buy 4 copies and get one free! Ideal to play the game coop with your 3 friends.

+++ Because of the release there’s still more discounts!

-10% until November 12. So when you buy the 4-Pack it’s total -35%
Only on Steam!

Enjoy the game. We are having a busy time but exciting with all the new players coming :).

Have fun!

New Quick Join Buttons

After you update your game to the latest version you’ll see some new things in the Multiplayer tab. I added 4 Quick Join buttons, one for every official multiplayer game mode. This is intended mostly for people that don’t wanna use the server browser or don’t know how.

The quick join prefers low ping, non-empty but less than 12 people, building time servers.

More patches and customizable quick join is coming, have fun!

Other changes in this hotfix:

[added] materials decay much faster on crowded servers

[modified] closing servers browser brings you back to multiplayer tab

[fixed] custom heads in singleplayer 

[added] spawn mats in sandbox

[modified] chat and scoreboard colors to less eye bleeding

[fixed] kill feed being very long (sometimes)

King Arthur’s Gold has hit Steam

It’s been a long journey but we are there. A lot more people can now enjoy our beloved game.

FAQ

For people that have purchased before Steam:

How do I get a Steam Key?

1. I bought the game on your website/gamesrage/IGS/somewhere else

2. I bought the game on Desura

We are having difficulties setting up redeeming a Steam code for Desura purchases. Please forgive us and be patient until we solve this issue. Hopefully within a day or two.

How do I redeem the Steam Key?

Follow these instructions to get KAG on Steam

Final note:

After you get your key and install KAG on Steam. Launch KAG and LINK your existing account (you might need to provide your credentials this one time).

That’s it and have fun. Enjoy the crowded servers!
