Quote from icon58

Hmm could you humor me ? Update and make sure your sound is set to nvidia output if you have a nvidia motherboard. If not maybe update the high definition audio device? Are you using the HyperX to listen thru?

Sorry, was busy exploring the world of Ylands that it plays in the way that Rising World is advertised that I can't wait for Rising World to get to that state where oceans are everything, and islands are your destination. The whole islands & continents shall be a fun experience... Well, if it's still the plan. It has many neat features that Rising World itself could use that I've noted them [here].

The whole thing about how smooth fishing is, how horses are tamed by feeding them grass, to how boats are handled (with anchors & building), to how you can sleep soundly at night if roofing is sheltering bed. I love that beds have to be sheltered that Rising World should pick up on this. How bigger boats can be modified having me wonder how Red51 shall handle their behaviour and customization options. It's such a fun game It's showing what Rising World is capable of.

I know you didn't ask for the Ylands bit, but had to answer your "could you humor me?" bit.

Not sure how to do that. May have to wait till tomorrow when I have more time on my hands. Yeah, using half of the HyperX to listen through that I have a Sony headset plugged in because it's fiddly that way, or something. I can also adjust the volume that it's handy. It's half alien to me, the sound bits.

This isn't game breaking, but it does interfere a bit with immersion:

One thing I have noticed with 0.9 is that using hand held tools seems to have less impact now. In the previous version chopping at trees and mining with a pick seemed like I was hitting the target and that the target reacted with impact as expected. With 0.9 it seems... softer somehow. The effect of striking at rock for example seems delayed just enough to make it feel wrong and that combined with the animation makes it all seem a bit fake.

Even eating apples does not seem right now, when I see the arm raise to eat the apple, it feels like there is too much of a delay once the apple reaches my mouth, I'm expecting to bite down but that doesn't seem to happen until a fraction of a second later. It's hard to explain. Maybe the sound is softer and it has nothing to do with the animation.

I am getting reports from my people that the steel pick takes 2 hits to collect material where the drill takes 3. Isn't it supposed the be the other way around?

Did the rate of tree growth get modified with this update? I am getting reports that trees are taking a long time to reach maturity. I this potentially set to long?

@red51 We are experiencing an error that resets our server when crafting clothes on the loom and then placing them in a crate. The error occurs (below) both when crafting clothing on the loom (with "freecrafting" permission, no resources needed) and when placing the crafted clothing items into a crate. We experimented some and could not narrow the issue down to any particular item of clothing. Also attached is the server log (with a number of lines removed to trim it down).

Does this mean everybody is gonna show up at the Jingle bell Jam in there Undies

Trees take roughly 8 hours to grow? Give or take a few hours. Probably mentions it somewhere in the config file?

Also wanted to post that sitting on the chair from the player's perspective is too high that it should be lowered for sitting. I say this when noting the wooden chair, yet would apply this to all chairs.

that we are sitting to high is not new.
Im waiting for 6 month now that would get fixed.
But its not that big problem but for release it should be better for sure

Bug when using the snow material: When adding, subtracting or smoothing, sometimes the snow turns dark like in the attached image. (Dark as in at night or in shaddow, not some dark texture.) This is true both with the creative and with the survival tools. (This is observed by more players than me, so it cant be my graphics card.) When relogging, texture goes back to normal.

Also for the chair being to high I had to redo some of my blueprints 2 benches and a picnic table because the chair (id14 i fink it was) is now bigger then before which was a pain, so i lower the chair for it to match up with the old construction, and when blueprinted it missed out the new chairs altogether because the new chairs was sunk into the ground.

Those are the ones that interest me the most. Nice new Christmas hat for us to be festive with. Would be awesome to have a suit to go with it. The default clothing seems to be handy now, and I bet I saw the comment that complained about "nudity" in games on the steam news section. Those comments bug me. Glad we can however change it, yet shall leave it default because that seems the best way to go about things.

Sweet! Glad the stack indicator finally been fixed, yet have to see it in the game to be sure. That's been a long time nuisance that I had to keep looking around to highlight it. I'm even happy with the head gear bit not removing the beard.

Velocity and being able to loot crossbow arrows from dead bodies is something I secretly wanted to request, happy it's been done. It feels less expensive to make and loot that it feels more worthwhile to shoot. Posters not visible through walls is also awesome.

Memory leak is the biggest one that I'm now waiting on Nitrado to update the server files so I can test this out properly. There's things I want to tackle.

Yeah, at times I've been considering changing hosting as well that they even removed the download back-up for worlds option from the server hosting that they're really forcing you to stay there now. You have to download your files manually, something I've had to do in various "creative" ways. It's making me frustrated. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they didn't receive the server files for a few hours, and if it still isn't up I'll plan on moving my hosting to a new server once I feel safe to it's to do so. They've really fumbled around too much.

[Change] Changed visibility of stack indicators on hotbar items

Seems little, but It help a lot.

[Change] Wearing head gear no longer removes your beard

Oh yeah ! I can wear my wooly now

For the stack changes, I liked your ideas to create difficulty level which could custom that thing.

Also, I have a little complaint about power of ranged weapons. As far as I see, every weapon one shot any mob. I just try to shoot an elephant with the crossbow and it was one shot. It would be more « survival » to had more hitpoints to mobs or reduce damage from these weapons ? perhaps add a «headshot» reward (critical damage) witch one shot, but bears and big animals need to be more difficult to face on I think.

Also, for tiers tools. I think steel pickaxe will be underused. I love it, but the mining drill is more « sexy » for sometime less effort (mithril is deep, or you manage to find a dungeon, mining drill require only basic ores). I would suggest rising up the mining drill cost (with at least mithril in recipe) and return the power it had in preview (it was furious !). Very late tool, but very rewarding. and steel pickaxe would have a great niche.

I love this update. Sounds and new musics are beautiful too. Congrats !

@red51Seeing a few "issues" on my...

Do not see other players! Sometimes, and had to relog.

[New] Added command "setclothing" to change the default spawn clothes for new players
How does this work? ... nvm Think I understand now. Works just like the "setinventory". Right?

[Bugfix] Fixed ore detector instruments
Get meter to move and sounds, but no text in the meter window

[Bugfix] Fixed placing and picking up of ores from furnace while holding the interaction key
Putting in ore is not removing from my inventory, but the holding the interaction key works.... nvm Was in creative with "infiniteitems".

[Bugfix] Fixed size command, now always available irrespective of permission
Is the "freescaling" permission still valid? Can allow/deny full scaling range or not? nvm... It appears the permission is still there to restrict full range

@red51 Ok It appears that head hair still does not display, but face hair does... But also removing clothing does not appear to work, but you can replace clothing? Can't remove hats.

@red51 Regarding the "setclothing" command... I did the command while wearing what I want as the "default", but new players are still naked. Do you have to restart the server for it to take affect?

Update... I guess maybe a couple of the Visitors that I had gotten were not completely new players. The default clothing DOES appear to be working. Nice change!
