NEW COMMAND REPORT CREATEDShit changed yo.
Glory to Nanotrasen.Yes, there is an update on the way. There's a lot of stuff here.
Q: So, what the fuck is in this update?
A: So much shit, I don't even remember all of it. Basically everything that has been done since mid August or so. Highlights include a metric ton of map changes/fixes/visual improvements (I spent a ton of time going through maintenance and adding variety to the tiles in there. I did this to some other areas too, it's the little things that count. I also fixed every single map issue known to man. There's also some new areas added, I added some under construction areas near atmospherics, that's where the workshops for the two jobs related to the jungle will go when I get back on that), new and improved arrivals shuttle (if you join late, you have to take the shuttle from a new transit area in CentComm to the station), some more alternate outfits for jobs, a bunch of new clothes, some new things to be made out of wood, some new papercraft things, AOOC,
a whole new gamemode, some new crates to be ordered from cargo, some new alternate job titles and specific stuff for them, some new starting accessories, some new vanity items, a remapped nuke ops area (plus some new masks...), the HHG, breaking news, some new mutiny directives, riot armour got buffed a tad, and a metric ton of bugfixes.
And then there's the stuff from BS12, there's a lot of shit there too.
Q: Wow, sounds like a lot. But why the fuck did it take this long for an update?
A: Short answer, blame BS12. Long answer, normally BS12 merges their dev to their master at the beginning of the month, and I merge BS12 about halfway through the month so they have time to fix bugs they missed in testing. However, in August they ran really late and didn't merge their dev > master until mid September. So, I just merged it recently, and now we can have an update. I didn't want to get Vactor to update just for the Urist stuff, because there was a lot of bugfixes in the merge that were important, and I also thought that BS12 would merge sooner than they did so I held off
Q: So will it take that long for the next update?
A: Nope, there will probably be another small update next week or so with some bugfixes and some small things I want to add. After that, it'll be time to merge BS12 again.
Q: Oh, what about that jungle shit you were talking about?
A: It's on hold for now while I get sprites for mobs. Everything's pretty much done except for the stuff for the hunter. I can't really give an ETA, sorry.
Q: Okay, when will we get our hands on this update then?
A: I just asked Vactor to update, so any time over the next couple days most likely.
Q: Kay.
A: Yup.
