    Version: 0.4.33994

    • Fix: boats and rafts did not work on dedicated servers
    • Default max players in Server Monitor is now 4 instead of 0.

    Update: 08/06/2017

    Version: 0.4.33959

    • It now takes some time for animals to fall back asleep if they wake up.
    • Every animal now wakes up when a player is too close, meaning horses are now mountable during night without having to punch them in order to wake them up.
    • Decreased AI CPU load a bit.
    • Removed misleading error logs about too long messages from Server Monitor to reduce logs size.
    • Null ref spamming caused by client trying to send server measures data fixed.
    • Learning new recipes on dedicated server is fixed.
    • Fixed wrong component setup on Alpha Tainted Wolf, resulting in the poor animal not knowing how to walk properly.

    CHANGELOG

    Stylish Sharing - 07/06/2017

    THE_LINE.png

    HIGHLIGHTS

    • Ylands Workshop
      • You can access it through Ylands.net or via shortcut at Ylands.com  
      • With the exception of the Explore and Creative games (that are still in the game) all games are available to download in the Workshop now
      • Once you log in, you can subscribe to games and compositions (mods will be added later). More info here.
        • When you subscribe to a game, you'll find it in the list of available games the next time you launch Ylands
        • When you subscribe to a composition, the next time you launch the game you'll find it under a new tab in the Editor
      • You can rate and report both games and compositions
      • At any time you can unsubscribe from games or compositions - they will disappear from your list (to get rid of them altogether you'll have to manually delete them)
      • More games and compositions will be added later
      • This is just the ALPHA version as a first iteration, feedback is appreciated to improve it!
      • We encourage you to upload your own creations! :) 
    • AI has been reworked from scratch, fixing a lot of issues related to animals (new ones might arise) 
    • Multiplayer now supports up to 10 players
    • New respawn system. Current behavior if you die in Explore:
      • You click on "Respawn": you will spawn with the same character (you will know recipes, you will still own your horses) on the last yland you occupied (nearest one if you die in the sea)
      • You click on "New character": you will spawn with a fresh new character on the first yland your first character spawned
    • When reversing, all vessels have significantly lower friction with whatever is underneath them. If you happen to get stuck with your big ship by forward sailing into shallows, you should be able to leave by reversing out of there. This has the disadvantage that if you reverse into shallows (which is even easier due to lower hull friction while reversing), you will get stuck there for sure.
    • Adjusted camera alignment logic for vehicles and mounts. By ALT you can switch between the 'default' and the 'free' modes.
      • The default camera follows the direction of the controlled object
      • The free camera is like the default one, only after moving it it doesn't realign automatically

    NEW FEATURES

      • b - pick a likely safe starting position on the beach of current yland (different for every unstuck call)
      • r - pick a respawn position for this scenario
    • Added new game Rating and Reporting functions in the escape menu
    • The Basic panel of the Feedback Tracker has been removed, as it proved to be not as useful as the Advanced panel. You are still welcome to provide feedback using the advanced panel! 
    • Idle animations
    • Smoother idle animations transitions
    • Animation for turning mounted player when aiming
    • Horse dies faster, in a more humane way
    • Improved calling horses
    • Animals can be waken up by sounds now 
    • Animals will now fear campfires

    Can you please try the following?

    Go to the game install folder (> Launcher). Right click on YlandsLauncher > Properties > Compatibility. Check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select Windows 7 and the one that says "Run this program as an administrator". 

     

    Let me know if this doesn't help!

    Hi there, ylanders! 

    Let me start by answering the question you all have in your minds: "When is this wonderful (writing) Stylish Sharing update coming out?" Well, it's currently going through the ultimate testing and tweaking and will be ready for your use and enjoyment at the beginning of next week :) 

    In one of the previous Sneak Peek's we mentioned that in this update we would introduce a couple of changes in the crafting system - mainly a new feature that would let you quickly see how even the ingredients for a selected item can be crafted - unfortunately this had to be pushed to the following updates, but worry not, it will come :) 

    As mentioned before too, this update will introduce a complete AI rework, meaning that we built the AI from scratch - this is the first step towards having NPCs in the future! The AI is not still where we want it to be, in fact the fact of having it built from scratch means that there might be new bugs and issues we'll have to deal with, but the positive side is that (because it was built from 0), those will be easier to fix.

    Will you stop sticking your head into doors, bad horsie?

     

    If any French and/or Russian speaking player is reading me, I have good news for you! We are now at a whooping 100% of the translations done (thanks @TheIntelloBox for the final push!), and we'll be implementing a "experimental version" of these 2 languages in the game in the 0.5 update. As you know, feedback and improvement suggestions regarding the texts are always welcome!

    On a different note, here at the office we're quite excited (the excitement reaching skyrocketing levels :D) because very soon™ something ™ that will put Ylands into the spotlight and help us get attention and hopefully bring more players for you to play with is happening! In a week or so you'll be able to see this thing™, where you'll discover two awesome features™ coming to you in the 0.5 update. Sorry guys, this is what happens when you want to say something real bad but you're not allowed to :D

    And that's it for now! Looking forward to seeing your creations in the Ylands Workshop!

    Heya! 

    Glad to hear you're enjoying the game! Thanks a lot for your feedback, we just had a meeting where we went over your suggestions! 

    * I would love to be able to craft musical instruments. Drums, flutes, a gong, a guitar or a violin would be fabulous.

    We would love to have these too! There's no ETA for this though.

    * I would love to be able to craft a spyglass and a compass, but I think this was mentioned before.

    Compass is definitely coming our way!

    * I would love to be able to attach a simple rope to a tree or rock and use it for climbing.

    Climbing is something we definitely want to have in the game at some point.

    * I would love to be able to see the crafting ingredients for every item I have in the inventory, especially for the ones i just found.
    * I would love to be able to click on a missing ingredient and jump to its crafting recipe to see what i need to craft that. 

    Very good points! These are planned to be in the game in the following months.

     

    Thank you!

    Indeed, the Dutch translation of Ylands is now in a sweet 12% :D but the player who was doing it stopped at some point, so we decided to remove it from the game until it reaches a high percentage. If you feel like giving it a go, let me know!
