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
Character now emits a faint light in dark areas (visible only to the controlling player)
/unstuck console command now has three options
a - align with terrain (it does not take entities into account)
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!
