MAKE SURE TO BACK-UP before continuing a save. This is an unstable ("I Will Back Up My Save) release and you can expect bugs. Server operators will find .zip files with their server backups, should they need to revert. 5 cycling incremental backupseach server run, and a special backup per version change. It can also be configured to backup periodically while the server is running, but you may expect a few seconds of lag if you do this. Accessible via the "unstable" Steam branch, server and client. Right-click PZ (or the Dedicated Server tool if you are hosting) in your Steam library, select "Properties" and navigate to the "Betas" tab. Then, select "unstable" from the dropdown menu.

MP CHANGES

Increased experimental maximum player limit to 100. Default remains at 32. Servers with more than 32 players will likely result in poor map streaming and desync, so proceed with caution.

Optional Login Queue system for MP servers added. - Players connecting to a full server will be placed in a login queue, connecting automatically once a slot freed up. The queue will advance after the client has finished loading the game. - LoginQueueConnectTimeout=60 server option determines for how long the server should wait for a connection of the client before they are timed out.

Added options for automatic server backups.

Several cheating security fixes to prevent unwanted admin access as well as unwanted actions performed by clients.

Servers now set a Steam server rule named "PVP" with a value of "1" or "0" depending on the value of the "PVP" server option. This can be used by server browsers to distinguish between pure PVE and PVP enabled servers.

Added a "SledgehammerOnlyInSafehouse" server option: - if AllowDestructionBySledgehammer is enabled, you can set SledgehammerOnlyInSafehouse to true to allow destroying stuff with sledge only in player's safehouse.

Added buildUtil.setHaveConstruction - This is a function to set the haveConstruction flag on a zone to prevent loot respawn if ConstructionPreventsLootRespawn is enabled in the server sandbox settings. - set haveConstruction on zone for building, movable, barricading events and when claiming a safehouse, so a home won't spawn loot after being claimed, even if a player hasn't built anything in them yet.

MODDING

Added ISCarMechanicsOverlay.PartList[].vehicles tables to any parts that don't have them.

VehiclePart.setInventoryItem() no longer calls setModelVisible(true|false) for all models, because this interferes with some mods that choose different models based on which item is installed for a part. Instead, a new method VehiclePart.setAllModelsVisible(true|false) was added that is called from these Lua functions: Vehicles.Init.XXX Vehicles.InstallComplete.XXX Vehicles.UninstallComplete.XXX Mods that define "init", "install.complete" and/or "uninstall.complete" Lua functions can now choose to hide or show whichever models they want. Additionally, VehiclePart.repair() now calls the part's "init" Lua function (if it is defined) when creating a missing item. This allows the "init" function to hide or show models.

The game will look for mod texture-pack files named Pack2x.floor.pack (correct) and then Pack.floor2x.pack (incorrect) if the first file doesn't exist.

Added IsoGameCharacter.XP.setPerkBoost(Perk perk, int level). This is for mods that want to change an existing player's XP multiplier for a skill.

Added IsHidden parameter for recipes and evolved recipes - If true, this hides the recipe on the crafting menu - Hidden recipes are still able to be crafted via the right click menu - Evolved recipes are hidden unless a result item exists - This allows adding additional ingredients via the crafting menu

CONTROLLER

Pressing and holding the left analogue stick displays a radial menu that allows toggling crouching, sitting on the ground, and auto-walking. A quick press of the left joystick button toggles crouch, the same as before.

Pressing the controller A button when a text entry has the focus displays the on-screen keyboard. - Left shoulder button changes focus between the text entry and keyboard. - D-pad navigates in the text entry.

Foraging / Search mode improved to work with controllers

FIXES

Fixed a Lua error when trying to spawn a new character in game when the AllClothesUnlocked sandbox option or Character.CreateAllOutfits debug option is enabled.

Fixed the "Aim Outline" option default being "None" instead of "Ranged Weapons".

Fixed the volume controls not working in multiplayer.

Fixed Home VHS tapes switching from blank to not-blank after reloading sometimes.

Fixed some unique Home VHS tapes never being spawned. Now CDs and VHS tapes are randomized in ItemPickerJava.

Fixed translation files from required mods having priority over the mod that required it. If mod B requires mod A, then mod B's translation files will be loaded first so they override the same translation in mod A, if present.

Fixed sitting zombies facing random angles in multiplayer.

Fixed an IllegalArgumentException in IsoChunk.SafeRead() when reading an empty map_X_Y.bin file.

Fixed the mini-map displaying the game's map data in cells that have been overridden by mods.

Fixed Character.Debug.PlaySoundWhenInvisible default being true when it should be false.

Fixed a few cases where sounds from invisible players could be heard in multiplayer.

Fixed bug in world dictionary when an item similarly named to a base item but with different module would be removed. This was due to scriptmanager.getModule defaulting to 'base' when the module was not found.

Fixed scriptmanager.getModule testing for equals("Base") or startsWith("Base.") instead of startsWith("Base"). This would otherwise result in the same error happening still if one would name their module for example "BaseBuilding".

Fixed item loading when trying to create an item with the same name in a different module. When a mod adds "MyMod.Apple" this a new item that exists alongside "Base.Apple", when MyMod is removed the "MyMod.Apple" bytes in the saves should be skipped. However due to ItemFactory.CreateItem calling the same scriptmanager functions that default to "Base" when no module found, it would try and instance "Base.Apple".

Fixed bug in WorldDictionary ItemInfo where print debug would not print all lines.

Fixed GameLoadingState doing GameClient stuff in single player.

Fixed any exception that occurs when the "failed to create vehicles database" message is displayed not being printed.

Fixed bowl of beans recipe not scaling to source can's hunger reduction.

Fixed two-tile table stories possibly spawning on two different tables, possibly with a wall in between.

Fixed trailers being detached on the client but attached on the server.

Fixed explosive traps not damaging zombies in singleplayer.

Fixed server soft-reset throwing errors.

Fixed "bare hands" checks which used translated item names.

Fixed lightbulbs breaking even if unpowered.

Fixed inability to plumb sinks in existing buildings if the water is still on.

Fixed zombies densities not affecting loot spawn in MP. This caused Sledgehammers and other items to be a lot rarer in MP than in SP.

Fixed not being able to climb over tall fences when a vehicle is nearby.

Fixed being able to get XP from VHS tapes again after relog.

Fixed TVs showing test screen (only happens 14 days after apocalypse and onward).

Fixed one TV screen not showing in the screen 'animation'.

Fixed the first channel not being properly loaded when radio loads its savefile.

Fixed, via disabling, zomboid radio debugger in mp client that was throwing errors due to stuff not being present on client

Fixed bug that caused the temperature panel to display all values as zero. (the call to PZMath.clamp in the panels would randomly pick the int or float overload between diff game boots). Also added Thermoregulator node debugger panel.

Fixed WAV sounds flickering between speakers when near the player's location.

Fixed some problems with clothing losing condition due to holes.

Fixed the client savefile not being deleted when the server savefile is soft-reset or recreated.

Fixed missing translation for "Spent Rounds" in firearm tooltips.

Fixed Disassemble tooltips for movables showing the incorrect object name (and no icon)

Fixed unlimited maximum title and text entry for journals, notebooks, paper

Fixed impossible disassembly of tall fences south and west of player

Fixed missing radioInteraction codes for perks

Fixed bug in RadialProgressBar with texture offsets

Fixed bug in ISSafetyUI where second part of the radial cooldown would display incorrectly.

Fixed alarms being enabled in buildings the player spawns in (in MP).

Fixed NullPointerException in DeadPlayerPacket.set().

Fixed ability to have more than three saved splitscreen players in multiplayer.

Fixed Survival Guide error showing the guide when isShowFirstTimeSneakTutorial() is true.

Fixed the "Learned Recipe" text above the player's head when watching a VHS not being translated.

Fixed EvolvedRecipe.java using DecimalFormat (which uses the default locale) and instead use NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.US) to try and fix rare crafting exceptions.
