Game Development: Musical Qualities

Announcements about major changes in Haven & Hearth.

Game Development: Musical Qualities

Postby jorb » Tue Sep 22, 2015 1:27 am

We've been developing, and here's what's new...

Image

New Implementations
-----------------------
Implemented instruments
  • Equip instruments and Right-click them to play them.
  • Play instruments using the Z, S, X, D, C, V, G, B, H, N, J, M keys, modified by the Shift and Ctrl keys.
Implemented Adventure -> Inspect, which reports qualities of objects.
Added Lingonberries


Key Fixes
-----------------------
Swimming characters should now be logged out with the server in the event of a server shutdown, hopefully preventing this from ocurring. Server should also generally speaking completely prevent you from logging in on deep water, instead forcing relog to Hearth, hopefully also preventing this problem.
Hopefully fixed the silly bug which could freeze the interface when using drag-select area operators.


Small Fixes
-----------------------
Metal axe is now more stamina efficient than the stone axe when chopping down trees.
Ranger boots should now have armor.
Water qualities are capped downward to Q10 regardless of Survival.
Columns & Mine supports can be built pretty much everywhere.
Column now requires Tunneling.
Deep Artifice now requires Tunneling.
Poppy Flower is now a curiosity as in Legacy.
Should now be able to resmelt slag for small chance of iron.
Right-Clicking your ancestor's corpse should no longer give you the option to "Steal", but instead "Take".
Should now be possible to put cauldrons into wagons, fixing this bug.
Stumps should now yield quality blocks fixing this bug.
Should no longer be able to raise terrain in caves using soil as reported here.
Boats, carts and wagons now recall the last person driving them, who, being the owner, can always pick them up/drive them, even off hostile claims, hopefully alleviating, if not fixing, this problem.
Bait info should now update on switch, fixing this bug.
Should now need Trespassing to view the "Steal" inventory, fixing this bug.
Fixed a bug with armor using the same value twice, fixing this bug.
Fixed a bug with roasting spit not properly updating, hopefully fixing this, this, and this.
Leantos should no longer decay under claims, fixing this.
Fixed a bug with some baked goods yielding No-Q ashes


We Did Not Fix
-----------------------
I received a bugreport telling me that leather keeps consuming tanning fluid after it's done. Testing cannot reproduce.
I received a bugreport complaining that moving a boat while a passenger is fishing doesn't interrupt the fishing. Indeed, and nor does it IRL. Working as intended.


Image
As always, if you liked what we did here: Support the patch.

Today's Patch Item, for the fair price of $5, is the "Brown Paper Bag".

Please update your clients, and...

Enjoy!

It should perhaps be said that, yes, there is a certain delay between pressing a key and playing a note. While perhaps unfortunate for easy playing, this is intended for the reason that it keeps the proper timing between playing subsequent notes consistent in the face of varying latencies and time granularities.

Water qualities are capped downward to Q10 regardless of Survival.


What does that mean I wonder.

That you won't get Q 1 water if you have 1 in Survival.
