Additions/Improvements

[YLD-23699] Added: Editor: Snap Angles option for the terrain Add/Remove/Flatten which ensures the orientation of an operation to be strictly horizontal or vertical

[YLD-22787] Added: Editor: Direction lock option for the terrain Add/Remove/Flatten. The chosen direction of a terraforming operation remains fixed during the operation

[YLD-22709] Added: Terrain Paint overhauled into a volumetric operation. This allows painting arbitrarily oriented terrain without any omitted spots

[YLD-22788] Added: Terrain Add/Remove/Flatten/Smooth/Paint now use 2D brushes (circle/square) oriented accordingly to the slope of the pointed terrain

[YLD-22786] Added: Terrain Smooth overhauled into a volumetric operation - can now smooth any surfaces like walls and ceilings; uses the 2D oriented brushes; supports the intensity setting in the editor

[YLD-23832] Added: Editor: option to disable killme/setpve commands in custom game

[YLD-22948] Tweaked: Editor: item stored in first inventory slot in Player role is now first active item in a game

Tweaked: Editor: in language using decimal comma there was an issue that in properties there was comma but you were able to fill only numbers with decimal point (now shows/input numbers with decimal point always)

Tweaked: Rented Servers: Trying to turn on expired server results in Server subscription has expired error instead of generic Could not complete backend task.

Tweaked: Faster steps in walk cycle animation

Fixes

[YLD-24119] Fixed: Editor: scaling of lightning particle (not all parts of the particle were scaled -> you may need to adjust position of already used lightning particles with scale different from 1.0)

[YLD-24083] Fixed: Editor: position and rotation animator references inside entity templates are not stored for newly created in compositions

[YLD-24011] Fixed: Editor: created composition from cloned objects could have inside game logic objects from the original objects

[YLD-21874] Fixed: Chat system would sometimes disconnect for no apparent reason and would not reconnect until the whole game was restarted.

[YLD-24309] Fixed: A memory leak when operating a workstation without opening its GUI.

Fixed: Editor export or playtest no longer clears available remove steps for rest of session.

Fixed: An issue where if you had above 100 blocked users, the game would be stuck in an endless loop.

Didn't some of the 1.2.2 features slip into this changelog? Namely the Easter eggs and Easter foods?

You're right, nice catch ? Will edit it. Cheers ?

[bojo2736 1016]

TL;DR. 

Can we use nitrado yet?

We are testing their version to find out, if it is all running correctly and if yes, then then it is up to Nitrado, when they want to start offering Ylands servers ? 

[bojo2736 1016]

When we know if it is working on your side?

[Lord_Wolfie 4]

Uhm, is it right, that it isn't possible to tame horses in the moment?  Cause there is no bait for them, and taming like before doesn't work

 

Never mind, just haven't had carrots?

As I understand it, we are now waiting for their final version (after some fixes on their side) and then we'll test it, but it shouldn't take longer than 1.4. ?

[RedEagle_P1. 905]

Enjoyed taming some pets today

Wow.  We were told in December, "soon."  Then it was with 1.3.  Now you are saying 1.4?  Seriously?

I have a BI server, supposedly rented thru July 19. With this update, I can't see it, can't use it.  

So basically, I can't host anything right now.  

@Adam Snellgrove can you get my BI server attached to me again?  I can't even be sure the old file is still there so I can back up buildings.

 

This is why most of us have moved on from this game.

water update and still no water physics. will it ever come back to the game?

We were also told in December soon ? Unfortunately when relying on third parties, stuff always gets complicated. But there's continuous work being put into this from us and from Nitrado too and we really hope we're close.
Regarding your server, from our side you still have it, so if you can't see it, it's probably a bug and we're looking into it today.

Probably not in the way it used to be because of Mobile limitations but we are working on ways to at least 'regenerate' water, that has been dug up.

[bojo2736 1016]

Having worked with Nitrado "customer service" I am not surprised. I wonder why they were chosen as the only other option?

[bojo2736 1016]

I rebooted this morning, my server issue is resolved.  Thank you @Adam Snellgrove

[Hunter-Over-Fire 123]

I like this one.
