Sir, You Are Being Hunted · published
Hello again!
Firstly - as has become something of a standard for these updates - we've got a new NPC for you: the Scarecrow. His uniquely-creepy presence has been missed so it's great to see his return. Watch your back... Live on the Steam builds right now.
Now that the compliment of NPC types has reached 6 (!) we thought it was about time to give server admins some control over what you are faced with in any given game, also how many and when they appear. To whit we've brought over the NPC schedule manager from single-player and now you can tinker 'til your heart's content. Want a world filled to the brim with poachers from the get-go? No problem. How about no balloons EVER. Easily done. Or maybe you just want more of everything? Well, then you're clearly unsound... Whatever your preferences, the new NPC settings will let you create bot populations to suit.
We've also got world seeds working so you can now copy and save worlds that you like. Generated a particularly breathtaking Mountain biome you just HAVE to show a chum? Just copy the seed from the escape menu and pass it on. Remember, only server admins have access to the world generation and NPC settings. Use “#callvote makeadmin playername” in the chat window to start a vote for a new admin on servers that allow this.
There are also the usual tweaks and fixes, some of which are direct responses to payer requests (that stones timer volume WAS too loud wasn't it...), others are things we've had on the list for a while and have finally gotten around to now we're approaching an official v1.0 release...
Not long now!
