Update 0.8.3.0
Dedicated servers
- Windows and Linux dedicated servers now downloadable with steamCMD with app_id 1307050.
- Dedicated servers are for versus mode only - campaign is still on a listen-server basis (which means a player hosts and plays at the same time).
- Versus server search now searches for both types of games - Rumble and Duel.
- If you need help in setting one for hosting, check SteamCMD documentation or contact us at [email protected].
- Later this month DGS will launch a few servers on commercial hosting platforms - stay tuned!
Weapons
- 2-handed sword and polearm animations made simpler and more consistent: 2-handed sword swing time is now 1.2 seconds, polearm swing time is 1.7 seconds. For comparison, 2-handed axe is 0.9 seconds and 2-handed hammer is 1 second. These swing times are reflected in damage potential and larger arcs for the slower weapons.
- Updated idle and run animations for dual wield daggers and left-hand-only dagger.
- Fixed a bug that put the character into 1h animations in certain cases of wielding only a left hand dagger (thanks to Blu Cotton Candy for the report).
Some logic changes
- Changed item spawn to occur at level load (reduces lag spikes for clients when opening chests in multiplayer, but increases level load times on multiplayer).
- Introduced a .2 second delay for self-target spells to manage with server lag (occasionally causing a bug with high latency servers where target-self spells could not be casted)
Other
- Removed The Pit gamemode.
- Removed some debug commands that allowed cheating (like insta-leveling).
- Fixed a bug where an item tooltip got stuck floating after picking it up.
Upcoming
Work is progressing with new levels for campaign mode, and we'll see new enemies in some weeks, as humans call Huns for aid against the undead scourge! These new levels will be the next major update and priority.
And as promised above, there will be a couple of commercially hosted dedicated servers available in the latter half of the month.
As always, looking for your feedbag on bugs, features, content etc.
Skeletally,
Dapper Grim
