Community Update from the Mod-Launcher Team: Some smaller fixes, and one major bug where block ids where desynced between client and server

Greetings Citizens,

this is a small update, that fixes some issues with mods as well as balane:

- Fixed customBlockConfig being ignored when mods are enabled
- Fixed weapons dealing 1/3rd of their intended damage
- Added notification dialog when joining a server that has mods enabled

We have gotten some new contributors on the repository of the code. Since it's not a small project, it will take a little until things take off. If you would like to contribute, please send me a quick DM on discord https://discord.gg/6r9KGmJWbn

We're also getting the bug tracker back up, and will likely make a fresh start to clean up and to not overwhelm newcomers.

Thanks for playing the game,
- schema & the Schine Team, the mod-launcher team, and contributers.

Greetings citizens,

as announced this is a minor update by the community, already using the opened codebase.

It fixes a few bugs, as well adds a mod-loader.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed AI leading beam shots
  
• Fixed the "Require authentication" being enabled by default, making people unable to log into single player without uplink.
  
• Made factory progress bars not factoring in the Factory Bake Time chamber
  
• New UI for the blueprint manager
  
• Effects and defenses now use a more straightforward formula, where the defense rating subtracts a percentage of incoming damage in the corresponding offensive effect type
  
• Fixed an issue where all defense ratings were multiplied by zero. Defensive effects (such as armor chambers and innate defenses from the BlockBehaviorConfig) are now functional.
  

There is also an addition of an in-development mod loader. Note that there may be some bugs, please report these to the StarLoader discord

Joining modded servers will automatically download the mods needed to join. Servers may still experience a few bugs, however, but hopefully not many.

The modding API is a work in progress and subject to change, but many of the core systems are in place. Check the StarLoader discord for tutorials.

The code is currently open on an invite-based system until we made sure that everything is in order. If you like to contribute, please feel free to send me (schema) a PM in the StarMade discord.

(special thanks to all the people working on the code already, enabling new updates. Special thanks to the StarLoader Team & Community as well.)

Thanks for playing the game,
- schema, the Schine crew, and the StarLoader Team & Community.

A SSL cache issue has caused the launcher to think that the certificate is expired.
The update should fix that.

There will be an actual game update and more news within the next few days.

The summery of that:

• StarMade will go Open Source for the community. (since I can't work on it until I have enough money to not have to work on other projects for a while)
  
• Community mod launcher
  
• Balance updates and bugfixes
  

Sorry for the long wait without update. I'm still alive and want to finish the game, but I'll leave the source for the community for now.
