I've just finished uploading new test build 1.05, which includes several modding and other bug fixes.
The build is available to anyone who owns the game at bluebottlegames.com, or on Desura and Steam. Desura (and therefore, Groupees) users can use Desura Connect to gain access here, or even get their Steam keys and try it on Steam.
To access the test build on the official site, simply visit the game page, and click any of the download links below the usual Windows, Mac, and Linux buttons.
Steam users can access the test build by opting into the beta for it.
Updates Included in the Test Build
Test build 1.05 includes the following changes:
- Changed DMC guard loadout to only have one firearm, to prevent bug where pristine pistols are littered everywhere.
- Changed loading screen to only launch browser if logo clicked, not whole screen.
- Fixed a bug that allowed the player to freeze to death if imprisoned at Saginaw.
- Fixed a bug that caused player to be automatically re-exiled after exile period expires.
- Fixed a bug that caused modded items with "ignore subgroup stacking" property to stack with any modded item.
- Fixed a bug that caused modded campsites to all be the same.
- Fixed a bug that prevented master volume settings from being saved.
- Fixed a bug that caused modded ingredients used in modded encounters to get mixed-up.
- Fixed a bug that caused NPCs to give food reward with blinkies inside soup cans, and soup without containers.
- Fixed a bug that caused skill/flaw totals not to be visible in Small UI mode after player dies once.
- Fixed a bug in Main Menu small button highlight update code.
- Fixed a bug that still mentioned "bag lady" in Red Gnome Diner.
The most interesting fixes here are probably for modders, as features like modded camps, recipes, and stacked items were bugged. The rest are fairly minor or rare bugs in the game or UI.
The likelihood that this version of NEO Scavenger will work with previous saves is: likely.
As usual, the older the save game version, the less likely it is to work.
As always, let me know what you think of the changes, and if you notice any issues with the new build!
