Holiday Period
As it is the holiday period, our next few updates may seem smaller than usual and missing the usual bug fixes. This is due to most of our staff being on holiday, but don’t worry; we still have weekly patches planned that will continue through this period. Their changelogs will just be a bit shorter than usual.
This week, we’re introducing the new ‘C0NT4CT Radio’, which allows you to launch SMPL3 missions and Operations remotely. This should be a large QoL improvement, removing the need to trek back to base between different steps on narrative quest lines.
We also have a small preview of the next batch of Olympus operations, which are planned to be released next week.
Known Issue - Clients Unable to Fire Weapons
We have discovered an issue to do with ranged weapons not firing for clients when players are connecting to a friend who is hosting or a dedicated server. This only seems to be occurring on older prospects with existing weapons, crafting new weapons works until you rejoin the session. As we cannot completely test this as it is during out holiday period we have set up a build on the Experimental Branch with a potential fix. Warning this is not fully tested and will includes some content which will be released in future weeks.
This Week: C0NT4CT Radio
This week, we are adding a brand new ‘C0NT4CT Radio’ that can be unlocked and craftable at the fabricator. When used, this device will look for the closest C0NT4CT device and establish a link allowing players to kick off SMPL3 missions and Operations while on the go away from base.
With the introduction of new linked narrative missions, we thought it was time to cut out some of the traveling players need to do to kick off a mission. This way, people can do multiple missions if they choose to without heading back to back between each one. This is a big QoL that we hope people will enjoy.
Next Week: Olympus Operations II
Next week, we are releasing a brand new set of Olympus Operations to supplement the existing pool.
This will complete our Olympus Operations project, with all applicable missions now converted over.
Your support makes these updates possible.
