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.

  • Object shadows no longer appear under wall shadows (unless they are much closer to the ground)
  • Fire - innocuous effect will now eventually time out
  • Fixed deserialization of VMNetSetTimeCmd.
  • Coloured lights now correctly blend together.
  • Fixed skeleton dance interaction sometimes crashing the object, and generally not working.

Update 55b

FreeSO:

  • Fixed some NPCs from being headless, nameless, or having a different skin colour for their head and body
  • Fixed objects from spawning NPCs underground, or putting player's Sims underground (wardrobe) & pet beds
  • Fixed some NPCs from not properly facing the object that they're stewarding
  • The expensive Dog house no longer improperly decays the needs of the occupying dog
  • Disabled objects no longer accumulate wear or break (for sale, wrong category, object limit)
  • Fixed multitile objects partially breaking
  • When reconnecting, the default daywear outfit for Sims is adorned, rather than the last outfit/costume worn upon disconnection
  • Visitors can no longer change light colors
  • An AMAZING UI was created to set the color of certain lights
  • Sounds now play when an instant message is received, when a message cannot be received due to there already being 3 IM windows, and when a message is received for the first time

Roulette EOD

  • Machine/Table Balance Textfield and UI Alert Deposit/Withdraw Text Entry no longer truncate after 5 characters
