Changelog 2018-01-21: Steam P2P Multiplayer and friend list support

Quote from red51

Nevertheless, I've re-uploaded the rcon tool with a fixed exe, now it should work: download.rising-world.net/tools/rcon.zip

Thanks... Dbl-Click on the .exe worked like a charm!

1) Can't seem to plant flowers

2) Iron torch wall mounts (dungeon type) doesn't seem to be craftable?

3) Medium crate missing label in the crafting list (crafting bench).

The head lamp is something I've been wanting highly, and it allowed me to finish connecting my tunnel to the two spots I wanted. I now have walling off and stone to clear away, something that's 70% completed . THis game is shaping up nicely.

DS no longer works after updating, the previous version works just fine.

I know that planting saplings is now only possible on farm land, but i would like to be able to replant trees where i cut them down without having to change the land to farm land first. A tree sapling should be able to grow in a forest...
Just my 2 cents

I just noticed that loading lumber into the furnace takes a long time. I guess the animation has to finish before another piece can be added. i thought this was fixed in a recent update.

Edit: It's doing it with coal too.

Alright, looks like all the concerns and issues I had has been addressed so I'm now happy. All that i now have to deal with is my own anxiety again, yet everything else is fine. Can't wait for Tuesday night to have more fun

Thanks Red51, you're awesome. P2P is smooth as butter/silk, and I've experienced both sides of the P2P that it works well.

After I lost connection to the server, it went back to ths server select screen and the Servers were all red. I had to restat the game.

I don't know where to report this but in the rcon tool it appears the in game chat is not being transmitted to the tool and the entries into chat from the tool are not being transmitted to the server.

@red51 My biggest question about the Steam P2P Multiplayer is this:

If I invite friends to my world and I am recording locally, then close the game do my friends still continue to play or do they get kicked? I ask about this because if they do indeed get kicked when I exit the game or steam so I could begin editing or to another game; would it not be better to purchase a dedicated server instead? Like I said I'm a bit confused on this and how it all works. For example would I be able to whitelist with a password? Is it open to the community as in friends of friends or what? Can you please explain how this works because I am not a computer or Java technician, just your normal everyday guy that loves to play & record games. Thanks a million, keep up the amazing work!

Maybe flowing water, rivers and some cosmetics are next we never know Red is just that kind of guy that leaves you hanging in suspense

Edit: Also is anyone else getting teleported when trying to open a chest in single player?

The server "crashes" when you close the game, just like any game without a dedicated server.
This option is for playing at specific times, it's like visiting a friend and helping with a home makeover.
If you do not show up the next day, he will continue to work alone.

I and jon_miner diagnosed the problem to be a conflict with the chat time stamp plugin and the rcon chat transmissions. I removed the timestamp in the chat and rcon started to work properly.

No plugins are being used at this time. It's happened while recording a couple times where I'm kicked out of a chest and teleported a few spaces from it. Not sure why this has happened but tomorrow I will be recording next weeks episodes. If I notice it again I'll make a brief clip of it and post it in the bug forums for you. Unless you prefer it to be posted elsewhere just let me know. Thanks @red51

This is OK it just made me choose between the 2 tools. The timestamp was causeing otherthings in the chat anyway. It would be nice if there was a time stamp in the rcon tool though.

Quote from red51

Unfortunately the rcon tool does not receive chat messages sent by plugins (i.e. if you cancel the chat event and send customized messages instead). However, the latest API release (which is now available) provides methods to edit a chat message in the PlayerChatEvent directly (in this case, the RCON tool will receive the chat message)

Sounds great Just post it either in this thread, or more preferably create a new topic about that^^

Well, there is no timestamp in regular chat messages, and they only get forwarded to the RCON tool... but we're currently reworking the RCON tool anyway

can't weight to see the improvements. and the rcon could access the local computer's time clock. The stamp doesn't have to be in game, just associated with the local time it was sent to rcon. and it would be nice to have an option to log the chat sessions. May be with a time limit on how long the logs are kept too? and would it be possible to have an auto reconnect function for server restarts?

I know this is an old problem but could you fix the problem with the map folder name resetting every time the server name changes in the server list. It is getting really annoying to have to go into my map folder and copy the new map folder's name and delete it and rename the old folder to get my maps back every time the server name is tweeked. Shouldn't it be running off the data base name and not the server list name of the server in combination with the IP address??
