King Arthur's Gold News

Hello my beloved ones! Build 3007 is out!

It's been a while...

So first of all give a warm welcome to @Vamist who has joined THD Team to help out with Engine related fixes (modders hype)! And now onto the usual:

Summary of changes:

• Added knight and archer cursor animations.
  
• Drill heat indicator.
  
• Kills, deaths and assists only count when the round is on.
  
• During warm-up suicides aren't shown on kill feed and no longer reduce coins.
  
• Held/inventory items give back half their value when TDM round ends.
  
• Updated accolades and translations.
  
• 2 new functions available for modders (usesSteam() and hasStandardGUIFocus()).
  
• Fixed emote binder.
  

Cheers,
Furai

Hey folks! Been a bit more of a delay on this one as some bigger changes went into testing and had to come out again due to issues. Sorry for the delay on getting patreon heads, accolades and some important balance things through to release!

Without further ado, here's the changes:

The big thing in terms of balance this build is a limit of 1 quarry per team. This is in response to the more competitive side of the game finding ways to really streamline quarry production and use it to stall out games. For servers who want that kind of thing, it's quite an easy change to revert.


There are also improvements to the f6 "video recording" mode for streamers and folks recording for youtube. This provides a cleaner no-gui experience for when you want a good screenshot or video capture.

The cursor is still visible, the spectator camera works again, going into menus will disable it all properly, and for modders, render hooks are still called (so you can decide manually what to disable).
Thanks to Epsilon for his work on this!

Quite a few minor fixes also made it in, and the main menu "minor function" buttons recieved a small facelift + reorganisation, as adding a button for the server rules pushed everything over too far.


Cheers,
Max

Hey folks,

You should have an update for KAG available shortly. We've narrowed down the problem causing the crashes that you may have noticed since the last build and this update should fix them.

We decided to bump the game version to 2926 to make sure everyone is playing on the fixed version, please make sure to restart when the update is available (servers may start disappearing).

Our apologies to those who have had problems with crashes.

Cheers,
Mazey

Archers, knights, builders,

To those celebrating: I hope you're having a wonderful Easter!
We've had a couple of small patches to fix issues that arose after we went free-to-play, but this is the first real update! This build mostly has bugfixes, but we're introducing a pretty exciting feature as well.

Straight to the point:

• Assists! When you contribute to a kill, you will now get assists. Assists are fully functional but this is the first public version, expect some finishing touches soon. Here you can see my dear friend Biurza assist me in killing Zanzibar:
  
• Numpad emoji support! You can now bind up to 18 unique emoji to the number buttons on your keyboard instead of the usual 9. Here is how you do it:
  
• Added missing accolades and added more Patreon custom heads.
  
  
• Joining a modded server will no longer require a restart

As always special thanks to our Patreon supporters and Github contributors.

For those not aware, KAG development is community driven and we are funded by Patreon. People post features they'd like to see and bugs they want squashed on Github and the community votes on the favorites - the favorites will receive a monetary bounty: whoever implements the feature or fixes the bug, gets paid! Assists are an example of this.
