Server Codes and Fake IP
Hosting a server to play with your friends just got one step easier! Joining using the new Server Code or Fake IP features bypasses the need for port forwarding:


Server Codes are enabled by default, whereas Fake IP is opt-in. For more information, please refer to this documentation:

Raiding Meta
Freeform buildables were among the most popular ways to gain altitude over bases with a claim flag. With their recent adjustments, it seems fitting to make explosive jumping a more viable alternative with two new items: Bounce Grenades and Impact-Absorbing Boots


Impact-Absorbing Boots cushion against long falls by absorbing impact into the springs, preventing broken legs and most fall damage. They can be crafted from Cargo Pants, Wire, and Metal Cans.

Bounce Grenades are interchangeable with Bounce Charges stats-wise but do not require a Detonator. C4 is no longer a requirement for either explosive!

Precision Charges now deal twice as much raiding damage, metal freeform buildables are weak to all weapons, and freeform buildables are enabled by default again. It ought to be interesting to see how this plays out!

Six new outfits have been accepted from the Curated Workshop into the Stockpile:

Item Stats
Item descriptions now automatically include a variety of stats, from damage to movement speed to recoil control. More stats and tuning will surely follow feedback after the update.


Multi-line Text Chat
Text chat messages can finally span multiple lines. Previously, the length was enforced by a 127 byte limit, severely restricting languages with multi-byte characters. This limit is now 512 bytes for player messages and 2048 for plugins.


News Feed
Before on the left, after on the right. The old news feed was created separately from the rest of the game's menus, so it didn't match the UI scale or your custom theming. All of the UI is finally unified under one roof!


New Outfits
With Halloween on the horizon, six new outfits have been accepted from the Curated Workshop into the Stockpile:


Autumn Comforts Bundle by Basil Cat and NSTM
Beekeeper Bundle by biedaktokox
Executioner Bundle by WalnuT_Orion and sympathizer
Goth Bundle by FlodotelitoKifo and Emizip
Untombed Pharaoh Bundle by SirAdy and Animatic
Wandering Wizard Bundle by Timo987

Behind the Scenes

Item descriptions, multi-line text chat, and the main menu news feed all have one thing in common: Their size depends on the amount of content. It may seem silly, but Unturned could not automatically adjust the UI layout according to content size until this update. If you're interested in more details, please check out this documentation link:

Glazier support for IMGUI, uGUI, and UI Toolkit

A button to mute text chat per player has been added to the player list in further response to concerns raised about multiplayer toxicity earlier this year. Additionally, voice and text blocks are now saved between sessions to your Steam Cloud.

Spawn tables should be much nicer to work with. Their asset files can use the newer list format, eliminating the tedious index-based keys. They fully support GUIDs to reduce conflicts (even if the target type, like items, doesn't support GUIDs yet). Failed spawns provide additional context in what triggered them.

Before this update, your NPC dialogue choices were sent to the server for NPC logic, but the UI relied on locally predicting the following message and response. Over the years, this caused a few issues, like broken interactions if the server rejected your choice or relied on a randomized value (e.g., dialogue-driven spawns in custom modes). Dialogue has been rewritten so that the server has complete control over the flow of events, fixing these problems and introducing new possibilities.

Unturned has gradually gotten better at enforcing file integrity in multiplayer, preventing a variety of easy cheats related to modifying assets. A more complicated case involved replacing the Unity player's resource/scene files to override assets not yet stored in asset bundles, like skin and hair. With this update, those Unity files are now protected as well.

Miscellaneous:

• UI_Requirements option enables more complex quests with multiple stages rather than showing all the steps upfront.
  
• Considering farmables are often repurposed as item-generating machines, Rain_Affects_Growth and Harvest_Rewards options make them less plant-like and allow non-item uses, e.g., to unlock a door.
  

• Stat values in all item descriptions, and Use_Auto_Stat_Descriptions [bool] item option to turn off.
  
• Autumn Comforts, Beekeeper, Executioner, Goth, Pharaoh, and Wandering Wizard bundles from the Curated Workshop.

• UI_Requirements option for quest conditions to hide certain steps until other steps are complete.
  
• Barricade_Wall build type for barricades without interactive function.
  
• Support for the newer dat list format and GUID references in spawn table assets.
  
• ThirdPerson_Zoom [float] property for scopes. Defaults to 1.25.
  
• "-TimeOverlay" command-line flag to show seconds since startup under FPS in upper-left.
  
• "-LogSpawnTablesAfterLoadingLevel" command-line flag to log all spawn chances.
  
• Player list button to mute text chat messages per-player.
  
• Rain_Affects_Growth [bool] and Harvest_Rewards options for farmable items.
  
• NPC Global Event Messenger component for mods.
  
• Override Relevant Distance option for Effect Spawner component.

My apologies to everyone inadvertently killed by the change in the 3.23.11.0 update! The problem was that some of the volumes in the boulders were spheres and capsules which can't be non-uniformly scaled. Unfortunately this didn't come up in testing because on vanilla maps the boulders were always uniformly scaled, whereas on many custom maps boulders are scaled on a single axis to better fit a surface or for visual variety. (which is perfectly reasonable, my bad for not thinking about this side effect)

Fixed

• Reverted addition of kill volumes inside some vanilla boulders.
  

Changed

• Show message when trying to join WAN address without Internet available.
  
• Placed kill volumes inside some vanilla boulders.
  
• Raised SNS timeout from 10s to 30s to potentially help servers experiencing spikes of traffic.
  

• Potential fix to zombie path not released error. [Thanks DiFFoZ!]
  
• Changed Scalar magazine rarity from Epic to Rare. [Thanks Naamell8!]
  
• Disabled workshop file setting ignored if response is received after initial startup. [Thanks Blaze!]
  
• Prevent using style and align tags in server listing description. [Thanks ItsRodrigoAl!]
  
• Converting UTC time in dat files to local time.
  
• Asset validation for non-readable object navmesh not checking child components.
  
• Asset validation log for quest condition resetting None status.
  

Changelog

Added

• Command-line "-LogBadMessages" option to help check for invalid network messages.
  

• Moved scythe cosmetic animation further back from character. [Thanks Toothy Deerryte!]
  
• Potential cause of workshop mods not loading on startup sometimes.
  
• Live config problem with byte order mark.
  

A large island of small mountain towns, secrets, and spooks. The Turned are tough and certain animals don't like it when you get too close. A mix of Russia, PEI, and Arid, but with its own unique twist on many aspects of gameplay. The island contains multiple forest biomes, no military presence, and rare to find guns and supplies. Buak is heavily aimed towards singleplayer, co-op, and PVE playstyles and contains over 2,000 items to discover and use. Some of these are items that redefine the conventional vanilla systems of building with extra room to decorate, and much more. Theres a blueprint system, learn item recipes permanently to be able to craft them in the future!

Buak takes inspiration from Unturned Classic (2.0), the many scrapped ideas and designs of 3.0, as well as the concepts of Unturned II (4.0).

A lot of conventional things in Vanilla Unturned may have been abandoned on Buak, from freeform buildables to building on vehicles; You'll have to seek out the alternatives provided. All items, animals, resources, and objects are also entirely custom and may not work as intended when mixed with other mods/maps.

Some suggestions for gameplay: The map is best played without any other mods and in Normal mode or above, as Easy mode removes many mechanics.

Watch the Buak Trailer Here

Note: Buak is significantly more dense with detail than prior curated maps. Instead of compromising on this detail level, the Level Batching Update earlier this year was originally developed to help optimize Buak. That being said, lowering the max draw distance and landmarks when playing Buak will raise the performance quite a bit because the game can then cull more details.

To host a server running the map add its workshop file ID (3000549606) to the File_IDs list in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json, and set the map to "Buak" (without quotes) in Commands.dat.





For the first time rather than playtime drops, you can craft a random new limited item from Menu > Survivors > Inventory > Crafting. The items are permanent, but the ability to craft them will only be available for two weeks during the release event.



This project was created by Toothy Deerryte, staswalle, Paulfest, and Witness Protection. If you enjoy the map and would like to support them, consider checking out the box or bundles on the Stockpile:

Antarctica- the newest map by Renaxon, danaby2, Animatic, clue and Timo987, has released.
... The final frontier in terms of tough, legitimately survival based mechanics is ready to be explored and conquered.
Featuring every single item in the game, every single crafting recipe, and all the hardcore classic methods of survival you've come to love.

A seriously harsh, desolate, and uncharacteristically detailed landmass, Antarctica is an Insane sized map- 4x bigger than the Russia map, and 16x bigger than the Yukon.

Included in Antarctica, is the most detailed depiction of wilderness Unturned has ever seen. You'll want to watch your back for packs of this fierce land's defenders.

Also included, is a revised radiation and immunity system. Due to a severely changed world, the air on Antarctica is toxic. Maybe a smarter survivor out there could help find a cure...

Now, stop reading, and get going.
It can't explore itself.

Base Game Changelog:

Added:

• "Projection Ratio Coefficient" option for "Focal Length" sensitivity scaling.
  
• Terrain editor hotkeys to switch active tab.
  

• Updated Unity from 2019.4.38f1 to 2020.3.34f1.
  
• Always load english text as fallback.
  
• Vanilla ban command also bans player HWID.
  

• Replaced placeholder equipment rate limit fix by converting item hash to the newer asset integrity system.
  
• Boombox volume slider triggering rate limit kick.
  
• Explain kick when server per-platform assetbundle hash is out of date.
  
• Vertical alignment of font color setting.
  
• Text field character limit in IMGUI mode.
  

Changelog:

Added:

• Alt hotkey to remove baked foliage with paint brush.
  
• "Disable" option for sensitivity scaling mode.
  
• Terrain material editor filter for only in-use materials.

• Fists use melee damage multiplier.
  
• Terrain undo/redo interfering with other undo/redos.
  

• Firstly, the 2020 LTS beta was accidentally set live rather than the actual update. The reason this happened is that my automatic release process was using the newest upload rather than the upload from the preview branch. In order to ensure this never happens again the automatic release will now specifically use the preview branch version rather than the newest version, and a confirmation dialog to double-check.
  
• Secondly, players were getting kicked for exceeding rate limits when equipping a kit. This highlighted a flaw in the equipment system from back when integrity checks were first added to equipped items. For the meantime I have increased the equipment rate limits significantly as a temporary workaround, but for the next major update I will properly resolve this flaw. If you experience other incorrect rate limit kicks please let me know and I will get them fixed, and as a temporary measure it is also possible to raise the Rate_Limit_Kick_Threshold in Config.json.
  

Changelog:

Added:

• "Haven Across" music by staswalle on PEI loading screen.
  
• "Focal length sensitivity scaling" to adjust sensitivity according to scope/optic projection ratio.

• Green skin color hues have been removed from the Permanent Gold Upgrade. They made it too easy to blend into grassy maps like Kuwait and Arid. Instead, they are now a complimentary benefit of the new subscription-based Platinum Upgrade DLC. Locking them behind a more expensive paywall makes them rarer, and thus more balanced.
  
• Helicopter audio volume has been increased by 220% to better convey how intimidating it should feel to see a helicopter flying toward your base. The deafening volume for passengers helps balance out how useful they are.
  
• It was unfair for zombies to use navmesh pathfinding when animals cannot, so zombie AI has been replaced by animal AI. Use of flares and other zombie-attracting items is encouraged to help them get unstuck from corners.
  
• Devkit was overpowered because it had features missing from the regular editor, so two new level editors "modKit" and "BoxEd" have been added which combine some features and remove others, evening the playing field for beginners to the modding scene. Editing mods without re-uploading to the workshop first is no longer supported.
  

Changelog:

Added:

• "Disable" option for weather command which cancels active weather and future scheduled weather. Useful for maps like Yukon which otherwise immediately start different weather when cancelled.
  
• Editor setting to disable clouds on a map. [Has_Clouds in level asset]
  
• Button to open file explorer in workshop item's install folder.
  
• Button to open Logs folder from errors window.
  

• Save preferred in-game player list sort mode.
  
• Increased level editor far clip plane distance back to 4,096m.
  
• Sky transition fog only starts blending in past 75% of the far clip plane. This feels less foggy than the previous update, and helps hide issues with transparency.
  
• Using weather command with currently active weather guid will reschedule rather than toggling.
  
• Gentle snowfall no longer overrides sky fog.
  

• Planar reflection skybox projection matrix.
  
• Hide holiday-restricted props from satellite capture.
  
• With streamer mode enabled show in-game player list using redacted names.
  

Changelog:

Added:

• In-game option to sort player list alphabetically or by group.
  
• Transition fog near edge of maximum render distance.
  
• New clouds and aurora borealis rendered in skybox.
  

• Added more trashbags to the fall-cushioning blue trashbag areas under the Seattle, Washington crane, and adjusted their positioning. The changes to mid-air strafing made these more difficult to land on, and they could be difficult to see from atop the crane while in first-person. These changes make the landing easier to see and achieve.
  
• Adjusted the car parkour at Rainbridge Island, Washington to be more forgiving. The changes to mid-air strafing made it more difficult to traverse. It should now be easier to climb down without breaking bones, and easier to climb up without getting stuck.
  
• Added wild animal spawns in the wilderness near Chersky Farm, Russia.
  
• Added item spawns to the upper floor of the Kivgrad Harbor, Russia office building.
  
• Added item spawns to the interior rooms (and outdoor picnic table) of the ship docked at Kivgrad Harbor, Russia.

• Updated localization of the legacy editor's transformation tools for accuracy and consistency.
  
• Updated localization of various console commands for typos, correctness, and missing localization.
  

• Explosion armor value while naked.
  
• Planting seeds on ghillie netting.
  
• Overriding material IsArable / HasOil.

• Floating or misaligned objects in Stratford, PEI.
  
• Floating snow around the Yukon road tunnel.
  
• Bugged zombie spawn point in the Ibex Valley, Yukon where the zombie would immediately fall through the world once alerted.
  
• Usage of various deprecated item properties.
  
• Skybox tree backface depth pass on forward rendering.
  
• Not returning attached effects to pool after parent was deactivated.
  

• Culling is one of the main CPU bottlenecks, and takes less time thanks to the early rejection.
  
• On first impression the old mesh clouds were often mistaken for flying boulders. The new clouds are a bit flat, but look less like rocks, and might be upgraded to 3D/volume textures in the future.
  
• Skybox reflections on metallic objects include clouds, stars, moon, etc.
  
• Sky transition fog makes the level feel bigger because it cannot all be seen at once, and is visually impressive / fun / colorful on many maps.
  
• Improved depth precision within the actual level reduces Z-fighting.
  
• The improved depth precision should allow a future update to merge the first person and third person models, which will make lighting and animations more consistent between both.
  

• Cloud ambient lighting flash while rendering item thumbnails.
  
• Lowered airdrop plane height from so they are less obscured by the reduced draw distance.
  

Changelog:

Added:

• "DefaultGoodbyeResponse" per-level override for NPC dialogue in level's translation file.
  

• Support for deprecated *.content files. Reduces loading overhead.
  
• Support for useless devkit asset browser. Reduces loading overhead.
  

• Improved parsing speed of .dat files by reducing redundant work.
  
• Improved sun, stars, and moon rendering, allowing increased near depth precision.
  
• Cannot purchase vehicles in bulk from NPCs, and minimum five second cooldown between vehicle purchases per-player.
  
• Renamed Silver augewehr skin to Silvered to avoid confusion with Silver trophy skins.
  
• Sort in-game player list by name rather than by group ID.
  

• Pump jack placement on grass accidentally disabled during physics material rewrite.
  
• Able to plant seeds on top of each other after physics material rewrite. [Thanks WWTC]

Arid, the new map from Renaxon, danaby2, and Dug, features a complete overhaul of the game's style and gameplay.

Featuring multiple tiers of deadzones and over 800 new items, with unique bartering, looting, and crafting systems that will make you rethink the way you play Unturned.

A gasmask isn't the only key to progression on this map, you will require numerous keys hidden around as well as a full biohazard suit and NVGs to unlock the full potential of the deadzones. (Powerful firearms, tough armor, hardened base materials) NPC quests will allow you to unlock blueprints for unique items and open the door to a wide range of new shops and barters. Barters are also a new way to get good items, allowing you to exchange junk in exchange for something more exciting.

Zombies won't be the only threat to your existence, watch out for military grade explosives left over by armed forces (and brick-wielding nakeds).

The map's layout is barren and fierce but worry not, the Bus Driver can take you anywhere out of the kindness of his own heart! Don't forget to thank him though.

Weapons and protective equipment will have important information within their descriptions, so make sure to pay attention to those! Especially to the ammunition and sights which specific types of guns accept.

To host a server running the map add its workshop file ID (2683620106) to the File_IDs list in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json, and set the map to Arid in Commands.dat.

This project was created by Renaxon, danaby2, and Dug. If you enjoy the map and would like to support them, consider checking out the Arid Mystery Box or Arid Bundle on the Stockpile:

Kuwait:

An unforgiving desert where basic necessities are scarce, weapons are even scarcer, and everything is trying to kill you. A mix of Yukon, Russia and Elver, the map mixes up the status quo of survival, making it more engaging, fun, overall less grind-y. Want to speedrun to the deadzone? You will have to craft your gasmask. Want to get straight into shooting things? Craft yourself a trusty rifle. More of the laid back PvE type? Try your hand at the available 200 quests. All playstyles are accommodated in Kuwait.

Besides the inherent difficulty that comes with the setting of the map; in which you cannot grow your own food on the land, your thirst depletes quicker, and visibility is on either end of the extreme spectrum depending the weather, you may notice several other changes that will impact the way you play the game.

Most guns you will come across are Semi or Burst, with the occasional Auto firing weapon. Recoil will also not be on your side. You will have to really pick your shots or risk wasting precious ammo.

Watch out for straw baskets that can drop anything from basic food and water, to life saving medicines and crafting supplies.

A lot of conventional features in Vanilla Unturned may have been abandoned in Kuwait, from freeform buildables to metal structures; you will have to seek out the alternatives provided.



To host a server running the map add its workshop file ID (2483365750) to the File_IDs list in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json, and set the map to Kuwait in Commands.dat.

For the next two weeks a variety of exclusive new free items will be dropping:

Update Notes:

Earlier this year the lower-level network data packing and messaging systems were rewritten. This update builds upon those by rewriting the gameplay-level netcode systems. All features should work the same, but with improved performance especially on the server side.

These changes unlock many possibilities for the coming updates that were previously limited by poor netcode restrictions. In particular the voice chat should perform noticeably better now. Items under active consideration are listed on the roadmap, excluding ideas without a solid plan yet:
View Unturned Roadmap

The upgrades should be backwards compatible with most server plugins, but in some cases adjustments are necessary. Thanks to many plugin developers for working with us to update their code in advance of this update!

For details about the decisions and thinking behind this rewrite consider reading the accompanying blog post:

Watch the Elver Update Teaser Trailer Here

This marks the final major expansion of the Elver map: a mind-bending endgame questline that greatly surpasses the Russia Mk. II easter egg. Elver has received hundreds of quality additions since its initial release such as fortifiable bunkers scattered throughout the forests, so now is a great time to come back and check out the newest version.

Read the Full Update #10 Notes Here

To host a server running the map add its workshop file ID (2136497468) to the File_IDs list in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json, and set the map to Elver in Commands.dat.

For the next two weeks a variety of exclusive new free items will be dropping:


This project was created by danaby2 and Renaxon. If you enjoy the map and would like to support them, consider checking out the Elver Map Mystery Box II or Elver Map Bundle II on the Stockpile:

Network Packing Changes:

The main goal for Unturned this year is to rewrite the netcode, and this update lays the foundation for that by rewriting the code for converting game data (e.g. position, rotation) to and from bytes sent over the network. Client and server performance should be slightly improved by this replacement, and since packing is done at the bit level rather than byte level now more data can be sent with less bandwidth. This is only the beginning however!

Old HUD Optional:

Support for switching between the older (IMGUI) and newer (uGUI) HUD implementations has been added. This is intended for players experiencing visual artifacts and flickering with uGUI until an engine fix is available, or if you really prefer the old one. Note that some menus like crafting and the inventory behave slightly differently between the two. If you would like to use the old HUD:

1. Right-click Unturned in your Steam library
2. Click "Properties..."
3. Click "Select Launch Options..."
4. Add "-Glazier=IMGUI" without quotes

Changelog:
Added:

• Command-line option (-Glazier=IMGUI) to use IMGUI rather than uGUI.
  
• Button on server info screen to view workshop item details.
  
• Kick messages for the different lost position in queue reasons.

• Exception when alt-tabbing while re-joining singleplayer.
  
• Delay when rapidly selecting items in inventory.
  

Overview:

This update aims to address the feedback following the patches to the HUD update last week.

One of the major points was text legibility. In large part because the softer shadows could make it appear blurry. The shadowing has been revised, and much of the UI has been adjusted to only use them where necessary, for example on colored text and against colorful backdrops where the contrast is needed. Otherwise menus have been reworked to contrast with the text without shadows, and colored text usage has been reduced in favor of other indicators like disabling buttons.

Performance was another big concern, so there have been a lot of optimizations to the UIs that were causing hitches. As an example opening a storage locker with hundreds of items in IMGUI could spawn all of the UIs in a single frame because there was no overhead, whereas with uGUI there is a lot of setup required - to mitigate this there are a certain number of item UIs created per frame now, and all of the components needed (e.g. images, text, buttons) are recycled between usage (pooled) to reduce the setup time - this extends to all the UIs in the game.

Holiday Festivities:



danaby2 released an update to Elver with decorations, new quests, items, and more! Click here to read the update notes.

HUD Update:

If you have been playing Unturned for a long time then you know that the menus and HUD have rarely changed. And at first glance that is still the case. Nevertheless there has been a major rewrite of the UI systems which has released with this update. I always find it annoying when software changes the UI for seemingly no reason, so preserving the existing (albeit questionable) appearance, design, and functionality was a top priority.

Across the board the menus and HUD should look and feel "better". Some players will notice a performance boost: in particular the compass, hotbar, and map overlay were optimized. Rich text in the chat fades out properly. Crosshair animations finish properly. Tons of Mac and Linux bugs have been fixed (e.g. the wonky gamma on Mac). Lots (but not all) of the UI spaghetti code has been untangled.

On the technical side: prior to this update the game was still using IMGUI from Unity 4. Unity replaced IMGUI with uGUI in 2014-2015, and are now even planning to replace uGUI with "UIElements". With this in mind I decided to abstract the underlying Unity UI implementation, so it will be easy to integrate UIElements once it is stable. I had been wanting to upgrade from IMGUI for years, but with the amount of work required it kept getting pushed down the road. In the end if took one month of refactoring, and then one month of intermittent development on the beta branch.

Update Changelog:

Added:

• Events for vehicle locking/unlocking and local driver.
  
• Valid_Speed_Horizontal for modded vehicles with speed the server cannot predict e.g. force applying components.
  

• Whitespace and newlines are trimmed from start and end of sign text.
  
• Swimming while snowing with Snow_Affects_Temperature disabled no longer causes freezing damage.
  
• Clamp item drop multipliers for enemies to prevent huge values (100+) from stalling the game.
  

• AI problems with unbaked navmeshes in the level.
  
• Dialogue with message-response pairings out of bounds.
  
• Display of custom item action text and tooltips.
  
• Warning for rocket launcher firing sound.
  
• Spinning while leaning to glitch nearby inventory through wall.
  
• Workzone highlight camera defaulting to enabled.
  
• Default value of Allow_Horde_Beacon should have been enabled.
  
• Box-selecting objects without gameobjects in devkit.
  
• Moving devkit objects in and out of regular level bounds.
  
• Potential cleanup bug causing gun effects to be claimed by two guns at once.
  
• Placing items in object windows after the transform hierarchy optimizations.
  
• Selecting the sky in workzone mode after the transform hierarchy optimizations.
  
• Improper handling of BOM/preamble in dat files.
  
• Gap in cliff near PEI lighthouse.
  
• Several gaps in Germany caves.
  

• Unable to interact after re-joining a server after hovering player hint.
  
• Background was visible for empty tooltips.
  
• Hotkeys triggering while typing in inventory and sign text fields.
  
• Cursor sorting behind some plugin UIs.
  
• Gun HUD breaking when using a rangefinder.
  
• Loading screen tip box not using background color preference.
  
• Empty Steam inventory slots not using color preferences.
  
• Inventory, crafting and skills backgrounds not using color preferences.
  
• Non-item inventory headers not using color preferences.
  

Performance Improvement:

Vehicles, items, zombies, etc. were all nested in an unnecessarily deep transform hierarchy. Almost everything has been reworked to exist at the root level now which enables some multithreaded Unity optimizations, granting a +10-20% performance increase to CPU-bound multicore systems.

All of the game APIs which returned organizational transforms for plugins have been deprecated, but will create placeholders when called to prevent exceptions. Functions for finding the root transforms of entities have been updated accordingly.

Server Config:

Previously the server advertised every config value and the client would find the differences to display in the config screen. This was problematic if the data was mismatched between client and server. Now the server only advertises the differences (compared to default), and the client looks up the property by path. The config screen also categorizes them to clarify variables with the same name.

Changelog:

• Flattened transform hierarchy to leverage parallel transform processing.
  
• Improved server config diffing and display for server lobby menu.
  
• Included Russia boulders in example assets package.
  
• Fixed unable to cook using campfires and ovens on vehicles.
  

Overview:

This update serves primarily to upgrade the game engine from Unity 2018 LTS to 2019 LTS. It should be a seamless transition and does not require changes from modders. The main benefit will be the upcoming user interface rework, which is available on a beta branch if you are interested in trying it out:

Autumn leaves coat the ground, the smell of pumpkin spice lingers in the air, and the turned are roaming the streets... it must be Halloween!



Until November 1st the event is active:

• Spyjack is updating Tales of Terror with new quests, items, and monsters each Thursday leading up to Halloween!
  
• Decorations festoon the towns of official maps, as well as Elver in an update soon.
  
• NPCs are wearing their Halloween costumes.
  

• Accepted several new skins from the curated workshop.
  
• Hosting dedicated servers using the client files has been deprecated since June 2019 and is no longer supported. Please use the standalone dedicated server app instead.
  
• Added Min_Stealth_Radius setting to level asset.
  
• Added helper methods for getting remote address if available.
  
• Added Horizontal_Attack_Range, Horizontal_Vehicle_Attack_Range, and Vertical_Attack_Range animal settings.
  
• Added Spread_Sprint, Spread_Crouch, and Spread_Prone gun settings.
  
• Added Recoil_Sprint, Recoil_Crouch, and Recoil_Prone gun settings.
  
• Converted berry bushes to use spawn tables.
  
• Exclude bots from server list player count.

• Menu was loading in the wrong order rarely.
  
• Fixed character list on menu not properly populating.
  
• Fixed unable to deselect item by clicking character.
  
• Fixed missing text for server config without display names.
  
• Fixed potential exception when enabling/disabling skins in-game.
  
• Fixed potential exception when player dies partway through shooting.
  
• Fixed potential issues reading corrupted Groups.dat file.
  

Overview:

This update makes the new Steam Networking transport layer mentioned in the previous two posts the default. For most players it should offer superior performance and stability.

If you host your own server and experience bugs with this change please report the issues, and for the meantime you can revert to the old Steam Networking by including "-NetTransport=SteamNetworking" in your server command-line arguments.

Update Notes:

Miscellaneous:

• Steam Networking Sockets are now default.
  
• All colliders on destroyed structures are moved to the debris layer.
  
• Added LODGroupAdditionalData component which can be used to disable LOD bias per-LODGroup.
  

• Fixed decimal scope zoom values defaulting to zero.
  
• Fixed per-gun shell casing effects for sentry guns.
  
• Fixed placing rotated item from ground into equipment slot.
  
• Fixed attachment of pooled audio sources.
  
• Fixed vehicle exit not account for teleport vertical offset.
  
• Fixed building items on terrain inside hole.
  
• Fixed holiday restricted objects with conditions.
  
• Fixed taillights not turning back on after exiting water.
  
• Fixed prevent entering build mode while in first person view.
  
• Fixed completing multi-item condition in singleplayer.
  

Overview:

This update is mostly behind-the-scenes preparation for making Steam Networking V2 the default. There is a fix on the Steam client beta for the dedicated server certificate expiry for any hosts using the beta.

Update Notes:

Added:

• Craftable Steam inventory tools for removing kill counters and ragdoll modifiers.
  
• Per-player audio source pool combined into a global pool. Most one-off audio like zombie growls use this now as well, and it saves some performance by skipping sounds that would not be heard.
  
• Command-line flag to allow Steam Networking Sockets connection without authentication. [-SNS_AllowWithoutAuth]
  

• Character mythical toggle disables ragdoll effects for stealth.
  
• Client SteamNetworkingSockets waits for authentication availability before connecting.
  
• Teleporting to named locations uses a nearby location rather than the highest point.
  
• Log when server connection to Steam fails, e.g. when logon token is expired.
  
• Catch exceptions during command execution to protect against startup command issues in the future.
  

• Owner command in startup commands list.
  
• Updating amount when switching vendors with different currency types.
  
• Components using IMGUI disable layout pass.
  
• Destroyed vehicles not appearing burnt after re-joining server.
  
• Rocket no longer consumes a bot player slot.
  

Update Notes:

The "network transport layer" is responsible for carrying data between your client and the server. Ever since 3.0 began development it was hardcoded to use Steam Networking V1, but is now being rewritten to support alternatives like the New Steam Networking V2, and generic sockets for offline LANs.

In order to narrow down bugs with the rewrite this update still defaults to the old Steam network, but contains a huge number of changes to the game-level netcode to support the transport refactor. If there are big issues with the update it will be rolled back, but it has been stable in beta so far.

Where possible, backwards compatibility with plugins has been maintained, but plugins doing unsupported things like modifying the network buffers will need to be fixed. This is an unfortunate side effect, however this rewrite is important for future netcode improvements.

If you host your own server and are feeling adventurous, you can try out the new Steam Networking V2 by including "-NetTransport=SteamNetworkingSockets" in your server command-line arguments.

Update Notes:

Added:

• Support for rebinding the equipment hotbar keys. This may be helpful for players with a broken number key.
  
• Destroyed_Vehicle_Default [962] spawn table separated from metal boulders, allowing them to be overridden separately.
  
• Button to reset server list filters when results are empty. Useful if the filters are too specific.
  
• Support for external link buttons on songs and rich text in titles.
  
• Different gun hitmarkers for zombies with high bullet resistance.
  
• Per-water-quality values for canteens and non-water stats.
  
• Support for passenger seats in train cars.
  
• Quantity field in salvage/delete stacked item menu.
  
• "-HostPlayerLimit" command-line parameter for hosting providers.
  
• Windows shortcut links for the Unity appdata folder.
  

• Explosion damage falloff calculation uses closest point rather than center.
  
• Actual tree colliders are used for respawn overlap test rather than a simple radius overlap.
  
• Slightly reduced scale of Moai Head mask.
  
• Reduced scale of kill counter items, and updated them to TMP.
  
• Increased rain and snow fog density.
  
• Included physics settings (collision layer matrix) in example package.
  
• Non-admins can carjack and repair tires of their own vehicles in safezones.
  
• Friendly sentry guns target players holding socket wrenches, and no longer target walkie talkie users.
  
• Players get half a second of damage immunity after respawn.
  
• Warn if parsing misc JSON config files fails.
  
• Show both version numbers in version mismatch messages.
  
• Imported UMarine skin updates by CD.
  
• Cannot build while seated because head can pass through walls in some vehicles.
  
• Skycrane ignores collision between itself and attached vehicles.
  

• Raw beef had cooked material, and cooked beef had raw material.
  
• Updating map details on server info screen when map is not installed.
  
• Client incorrectly sending stance changes.
  
• Repair vehicle passenger check not working properly on server.
  
• Using explosives to destroy holiday trees out of season.
  
• Starting climbing ladder while handcuffed.
  
• Opening menus while fishing rod charge overlay is visible.
  
• Catching fish on land with the right timing.
  
• Infinite loop when selling more than 255 items.
  
• Power bug with custom oil drills missing an animation.
  
• Server getting stuck if mod contains an infinitely looping crafting recipe.

• Slightly misaligned markings on road props.
  
• Achievements from NPCs were not unlocking properly in multiplayer.
  

Update Notes:

Additions:

• Skin sharing between items with the same model using "Shared_Skin_Lookup_ID". Elver variants of melee weapons use this to share skins with the base game items.
  
• New Steam Friends enhanced rich presence. Details from the "View Game Info" panel were made compatible with the new friends list to show who is playing together, in-game, in-editor, etc.
  
• FallDamageOverride, TimerEventHook, and ActivationEventHook for mods. More information was posted to the documentation site.
  
• Validate_EconInfo_Hash and Validate_MasterBundle_Hashes settings in server config. These control the hashing changes explained below.
  

• Server verifies hashes of all loaded master bundles during connection. This prevents clients from connecting with out-of-date or modified master bundles, but can be disabled with the Validate_MasterBundle_Hashes setting.
  
• Server tests dialogue tree to double-check player has access to vendor. Previously if that vendor existed on the server it could be opened through other NPCs.
  
• Econ hash is validated with server. This prevents clients from locally exploiting other players visibility, but can disabled with the Validate_EconInfo_Hash setting.
  
• Zombie kills condition can set "Radius" rather than specific navmesh. Elver uses it for global zombie kill quests.
  
• Each frame one transparent propeller is updated to sort properly with water. Previously air vehicles crashed into water would be sorted wrong depending on the distance from the center of the water tile.
  
• Replaced vehicle exit capsule overlap by finding the vehicle center by largest volume. The capsule overlap had bad side effects like upside-down vehicle falling back to spawn points.
  
• Quest object interactions are no longer predicted on client.
  
• Trees no longer respawn while a player or barricade is on the stump.
  
• Embedded YouTube videos are now removed from the in-game text so they can be used in announcements.
  

• Magazine reload speed modifier applying to detach rather than attach.
  
• Catch exceptions while loading asset files. Some files did not get deleted properly for some players causing them to get stuck loading, so this should not happen anymore.
  
• Prevent using voffset tags on signs. It could be abused to draw text in the sky.
  
• Losing track of original mesh when repeatedly changing car paintjob.
  
• Harvested bushes being invisible until respawning when returning to an area.
  
• Minimum time between sentry gun shots fired. Certain guns were firing one shot per frame.
  
• Pressing UI hotkeys on the same frame. (e.g. crafting and attachments menu)
  

Elver provides a unique experience not just through a fictional setting, but also by changing the way the game is played. Survivors must scavenge the entire map to construct horde beacons and gas masks for a chance at the highest tier equipment, or sell gear at the NPC safezone in exchange for currency to buy it.

The only lootable location on the map, the city of Elver, is surrounded by a dense forest dedicated for base building. Zombies are a threat across the entire city. Keep an eye out for any TVs with static: they mark the presence of hidden ranger crates containing unique weapons and items.

To host a server running the map add its workshop file ID (2136497468) to the File_IDs list in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json, and set the map to Elver in Commands.dat.

This project was created by danaby2 and Renaxon. If you enjoy the map and would like to support them, consider checking out the Elver Mystery Box or Elver Bundle on the Stockpile:

Update Notes:

Vehicle Building:

Several settings have been added to Config.json for limiting the size of vehicle bases:

• Allow_Item_Placement_On_Vehicle (true / false)

• Post-processing effects have been upgraded for performance, quality, and fixes. In particular the first-person viewmodel skins now benefit from ambient occlusion and bloom.
  
• Valid underground spaces have been manually designated, so players out-of-bounds are automatically teleported back into the map. Along with fixes to miscellaneous physics exploits this ought to put a stop to underground glitch bases.

NEW Easter Island Curated Map:













Welcome to Easter Island - now available in-game! From an unprecedented number of unexplored underwater relics to the unrelenting lava flow destroying the Northern shore, this map is quite an adventure.

To host a server running the map add its workshop file ID (1983200271) to the File_IDs list in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json, and set the map to Easter Island in Commands.dat.

This project was created by Steven "MelonCat" Nadeau, Thom "Spebby" Mott, Ben "Paladin" Hoefer and Nolan "Azz" Ross in collaboration with Smile Dev and with thanks to Doug Soderstrom, Danaby2, Madison "Froggo" Wilder and Timo987.

If you enjoy the map and would like to support them, consider checking out the Mystery Box or Bundle on the Stockpile:


Recent Changes:

• Rocket is included in the Extras folder with several post-archival bug fixes.
  
• France is available on the workshop directly from the creators.
  
• Workshop file download restrictions prevent banned items.
  
• Fullscreen option split into Exclusive and Borderless.
  

Foliage:

Official maps using the newer foliage system have all been updated to improve file IO performance. Beforehand each map had many separate files for individual regions. Afterward each map has only a single file combining all of them. This significantly speeds up the "validate game cache" process, downloading updates and downloading workshop maps.

For details on upgrading custom maps: Read Docs

General:

• Added "Only Equipped" filter for cosmetics and skins.
  
• "Insane" skins received attachment skins by Debski.
  
• Care package boxes crush players underneath them.

• Translated EconInfo.json is now loaded from localization's folder.
  
• Maps can translate location names e.g. "Oulton's_Isle Castle" in their localization files.
  
• Localizations can contain a "Maps" folder with per-map translations e.g. "PEI.dat".
  
• Language setup is logged during startup.
  

Holiday Festivities:



Throughout the winter holidays each level is sporting some seasonal decorations, from gifts of weaponry under trees to NPC outfits. Cosmetic present boxes are also dropping for a limited time.

Unlike past years where certain maps had a separate decorated version, PEI is using a new "redirector" feature that changes the map for the duration of the event. This allows saves to transfer, and for the map to be replayed in subsequent years.

Fog Density:


Historically height fog and distance fog have been configured separately, and were optional. Creators can now enforce fog from a thin morning mist to a thick soup.

Vendor Currencies:
NPCs trading for experience does not exactly make a ton of sense.



Originally the idea with the Liberator was a somewhat socialist mix of "helping out the community builds experience" and redeeming favor for items. Starting with P.Riso however, NPCs can instead trade for arbitrary "currency" items whether that be the Canadian ones, or a custom set.
