Changelog 2015-01-18: New animals, new objects, less problems

Hi folks,

Another update is available! It introduces two new animals, a fox and a sheep, as well as new objects (new tables, lanterns etc.).

Apart from that, the game now has an own JVM for MacOS and Linux, so no more separate Java is required on these OS (Steamversion only). Furthermore, the game should now run without any problems on SteamOS (obviously Steamversion only^^).

We also did some smaller changes (for example we implemented a detection when two graphics cards are installed, but only the less powerful is used) and some bugfixes.

Stay tuned for the next update, which will introduce food/hunger

the nightly "tada" throws a can't authenticate steam error.the game tells me I should assign my other graphics adapter(use the amd Radeon versus the Intel one)....but the game won't open when I do.so I'm leaving it the way it was.nice additions red!

Yeah the nightly should not work anymore. About the graphics card: What Radeon is it exactly? Maybe a driver update helps? In most cases the secondary graphics card should be more powerful than the integrated one

Quote from DennisMidjord

Do you have to get to new chunks before the new animals will spawn? I wasn't able to find anyone in the preloaded ones, and sapling won't drop in them, too As soon as I moved to new chunks, I saw sheep and trees dropped saplings.

Yes, to find the new animals, you need to explore new locations (since animals only spawn one time per chunk and stay forever). Alternatively you can edit your world and clear the "Worldchunks" and "Npc" tables, that causes a fresh spawn of all animals (but then animals would also spawn inside your buildings)
But saplings should not be influenced by that, it's absolutely random when trees drop saplings^^

red, you night worker xD Also, it was clear, that once I am almost done with my steam guide, you bring out an update

Oops But at least there should not be too many changes in the update which would make your guide useless I guess?

Quote from Meltron

Noob question: What does this do?

The DBID is probably useless for most players, it's the database id of the player (in other words: the ID of the player entry in the players table)
More useful should be the ip command to get the players ip.

Quote from Meltron

Also, I like that you can now close the console by simply clicking anywhere, however, now you can't edit the console commands with the mouse. So maybe just exclude that enter line from this feature?

Hmm we did not change anything (at least as far as I remember...) related to that But yeah, an exclude for that would make sense

@red51 You my hero, now I can play under Linux RW in Fullscreen, no Issues .. Yeahhhh ;D This Update is so awsome ;D

Great, glad to hear that at least some fullscreen issues are fixed

Quote from SpielEule

PLEASE fix fullscreen on OSX!

We are still working on it

Quote from Turbo614

@red51 the amd Radeon hd 7600m series(game won't open if enabled and Intel hd graphics 4000 disabled)....drivers for both updated......I had no idea there were two.....or why for that matter

Strange problem. Is there any output (or errorlog/hs_err_pid) when the game uses the Radeon 7600m?
