Hey guys, trying to keep up the rhythm of the weekly updates! Let’s get to it!

Trench Run News:

We’ve got some big news about the future of Trench Run, but we’ll save it for next week. This week has been huge for KAG, so I won’t steal their thunder!

King Arthur’s Gold News:

This next patch coming is a double-whammy of requested features and fixes and halloween spookiness. This is probably the biggest release largely handled by the interns, so please, give them your support!



We had a lot of laughs testing out the spooky event features!

Verra has merged in a plethora of modding and server hosting enhancements.

Fixed the infamous “infinite mod redownloading” bug

Render account avatars in-game

Lots of AngelScript error improvements (errors in #includes output correctly, lines matched to errors correctly)

Memory leaks and file handle leaks investigated + fixed where possible.

Limited the size of the backlog kept in console (very important for stability of long-running servers)

Removed the printout of blob creation (-> drastically reduced log size)

Other miscellaneous fixes and extensions to the engine include:

Sound volume getting set 100% all the time

Music “bursting” at the start of each track

primitive character name tab-complete in the chat box

extended TCPR functionality

Skinney and Verra have worked together on several gameplay changes as well:

Halloween content and a new “holiday” framework for recurring events.

Trampolines now cannot be folded, have a “reset time” before they can bounce something else, and work while held.

Mines do substantially more damage to tiles, ignore shields, and can be converted between teams if you pick them up before they deploy.

Arrows do not collide with other projectiles.

Spawning issues in CTF are mostly fixed, including spawn timers resetting and spawning at contested points.

As always, these changes are not final or inflexible, but we’d like you to give them a good thorough play before giving any feedback.
