Ahoy ye scallywags!
If a cannon fires in the distance, but no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound? The answer to that is yes, and with today's update, it'll make a much cooler sound than before! And it's not just regular cannons -- swivels and fast snipers also got a bit of an auditory upgrade.
There's some other changes that you've been requesting, like smoother transitions when jumping from ship to ship, and player weapons dropping when their team is defeated!
Sound overhauls:
- New cannon sounds
- New swivel cannon sounds
- New fast sniper firing sound
- Some water and ship sounds slightly reduced in volume
- Cannon sounds optimized (consumes less audio channels)
- Distant sounds added to all weapons
- New cannonball air travel sound
Gameplay improvements:
- Characters jumping from ship to ship should no longer teleport away for a split second (transition should be smoother)
- When dropping weapons in the water they will now go up and down with the waves
- Junk ship frontal damage points moved a bit so they no longer appear inside the hangmats
- Player weapon drops:
- All weapons now drop from a player if his team is defeated or when he disconnects
Damage:
- Sprint is now blocked for 1 second by any type of damage, not only melee anymore
Ship gameplay:
- Turning speed now increases and decreases depending on ship speed and no longer depending on sail deployment (sharper turns when anchored)
- Turning speed is now slightly faster when stationary (60% when going full speed and 100% when stationary, half speed would be 80%)
Optimisations:
- Removed some leftover components from the character (cleanup)
- Improved collision performance on character
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug that caused turning speed to be slowest instead of fastest when stationary until you used the sails
- Fixed a bug that caused more than 16 players to be able to join pre-game servers
- Bow mounted barrels should now work again
- Fixed "Not enough room" warning when trying to steal ship items with a full inventory
- Fixed incorrect metal rope attachment points LOD material
