Game Development: Spring Cleaning

Announcements about major changes in Haven & Hearth.

Game Development: Spring Cleaning

Postby jorb » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:09 pm

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

Image

Key Fixes
-----------------------
  • Restored the old quality mechanic for symbel items. Symbel items now gain in efficiency with quality, and can be made actively better than their stated basline through quality work. When we originally changed this for World 11, we did so on the assumption that the quality mechanic was to blame for the severely deflated hunger levels people were seeing. We now doubt that, and would like to reduce the importance of hunger, and, thus we've reverted that change.
  • All symbel items now have their wear, or, rather, number of uses left, indicated on them.
  • Chairs are now given quality when built.
  • Table cloths now have a special slot in the table interface.
  • Burrower Beans can now be used to reduce hunger down to the "Famished" level.
  • You may now teleport using charter stones with an outlaw debuff active. This mechanic was originally intended to prevent hearth vault jumping by outlaws, but given present siege system we're not confident that it matters much, while the ability to rapidly aid other fighters might. May change again in some way in the future, but for now you can travel freely.
  • When attacking, a damage modifier (m) is calculated based on the ratio between the attacker's Strength (S) and the target's Constitution (C) such that m = (C/S)^(1/5). The purpose being to somewhat soften the gain from increasing Strength and Constitution.

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

Today's Patch Items, for the fair price of $10 is the "Spring Wizard's Hat"

Store Description wrote:Image$10 A scent of flowers on the wind hints of longer days, and warmer nights, and of water running in brooks anew.


All Gold subscribers have been awarded the "Spring Wizard's Hat". free of charge.

In the Pipe
-----------------------

Enjoy!

NICE
The most actively maintained Haven and Hearth Wiki (Not guaranteed to be up-to-date with all w14 changes.)

Basic Claim Safety (And what you’re doing wrong) (I recommend you read it in it's entirety, but TL:;DR: Build a Palisade.)

Combat Guide (Overview, PVE, PVP) (Tells you how to try and escape, and make it less likely to die when caught.)

That sure shouldn't be the case. Unless this is something that only happens on custom clients, in which case please report it to their authors instead.

Looks like it's a custom client thing, yea.

Someone mentioned on discord
delete Gast.class in the hafen.jar


should fix it if you're using an amber-based client

Does this damage multiplier also apply for animals? (assuming they have strength and constitution stats)

In order to fix the crashing with amber based clients, you can go into your hafen.jar with winrar and delete Gast.class.
