I have another important announcement to make. I just released a 0.6.1 update earlier. This is because 0.6.0 was totally broken in multiplayer, and basically unplayable online due to many issues. I found and fixed those that I could notice, and the dedicated server seems to be as good and stable as normal bot matches. Some of these issues always existed in VT and were never noticed and addressed till now. This should be the first online stable release of the game. Here are the release notes:
This time, there is a patch available for those who got 0.6.0 last night. The torrent will also be up and seeded soon, as the file is still processing on SourceForge. https://sourceforge.net/projects/voretournament/files/
Quote:* 0.6.1:
Bug fixes:
- Fix swallowing not working in multiplayer, due to the predator's angles not being updated properly. This also fixes jittering in bot matches, that has always existed in VT.
- Fix Grabber reload being constantly re-triggered in multiplayer, if reloading with players in your stomach.
- Fix the view weapon model not animating in multiplayer, if having players in your stomach.
- Fix exterior weapon model blinking and attempting to be attached to the stomach model for predators
- Limit how often the Grabber's beam effect is sent (lightning bolt from the weapon to the linked hook). It was being sent each frame, choking the network in multiplayer.
- Tweak Grabber fuel usage and the fuel system, improving some things and fixing minor bugs.
- Fix the server attempting to attach the exterior weapon entity to stomach models. Should fix console warnings and the weapon model blinking for predators.
- Fix the swallow model not showing to spectators when spectating a player. Also do some other fixes to the swallow models.
- Show the proper stomach board color on spectated players, in the case of team mates.
- Disable GLSL color control by default. This MIGHT fix the white screen problem some people have been reporting.
This time, there is a patch available for those who got 0.6.0 last night. The torrent will also be up and seeded soon, as the file is still processing on SourceForge. https://sourceforge.net/projects/voretournament/files/
