Version beta/update-56 in Sunrise Crater
This latest version includes a few bug fixes, a brand new $25 slot machine, and basic support for Discord Rich Presence. Be sure to log in and check them out! - New $25 slots machine! This beauty is custom content co-created by D.A.D.D.I. Architect, S1ndle and M.O.M.I. Raeven.
- Some fixes to issues with the slots machine and roulette.
- Volcanic now no longer draws 3D tab frames when they are inactive.
- Implement basic support for Discord Rich Presence (you can invite other players to your lot or a job lot via discord).
- Fix bug where server would repeatedly destroy someone's claim after they disconnected due to some other error.
- Fix bug where game could crash due to lightrooms becoming a different length from the normal room array.
- Shader work: standardisation of lighting functions in progress, and additional work for low end hardware.
- Updated skybox to look less like a washed out mess
- 3D reconstruction is now async. The game should no longer freeze, though the object will be missing and performance will be degraded while it is generating.
