Hello Everyone! Today we’ve got another big update for you, version 0.70, which brings Besiege’s long anticipated official modloader as well as a new skin tool, achievements & more than 50 bug fixes! New Modloader The new official modloader opens up a wide range of possibilities for modders and with workshop support, it’ll be easier than ever to get the mods you want quickly. Mod creators can also offer compatibility for multiplayer and when you join a server using mods you’ll be provided with a list of the ones you need.
Creating mods for Besiege has never been easier, Spaar has created extensive documentation for the modloader, with guides taking you through the steps to create your own mod. The modloader has been designed with ease of access in mind, so don't be afraid to give modding a go yourself! The modloader’s documentation can be found on our newly created Spiderling Wiki, alongside support and bug reporting information: http://wiki.spiderlinggames.co.uk/ Click here for a quick start guide! Here are some of the mods already available: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1471611249 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1473122210 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1473040014 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1472155472 Please note that sometime next month we will be removing the old modloader as it is now obsolete. Skin Paint Bucket A new Skin Paint Bucket tool has been added to Besiege, it allows you to quickly and easily paint entire sections of your war machine using the skin packs you’ve downloaded. The tool will help making styling your machine much quicker and easier.
Achievements A range of achievements have also been added to Besiege, which are synced with the Steam achievements system!
Version 0.70 also brings with it more than 50 bugfixes, the full list of which can be found below in the changelog! That concludes this update, we’re hoping to bring the next update soon, but in the meantime if you have any questions about the modloader please do post them on the forums or ask others for help in the official Discord! https://discord.gg/3AXV6uK Hope you all enjoy!
