• Cosmetics inventory automatically merges crafting material stacks.

• Added onSiphonVehicleRequested event.
  
• Tweaked onCraftingRequested to be easier to use as onCraftBlueprintRequested.
  

Tweaks:

• Arena wall more visually appealing.

The Belgium community map team has prepared a large update, so the featured duration has been extended to June 15th.

Created by Ben "Paladin" Hoefer, Ethan "Cyllek" Brookman, Nathan "Wolf_Maniac" Zwerka and Nicolas "Putin3D" Arisi with thanks to Nolan "Azz", Husky and Noobyfish, Belgium is newly released for exploration! This map features modernized yet medieval cities, beautiful vistas and boating through active waterways.



If you'd like to support this team in their creation of future maps you can check out the Belgium item bundles on the Stockpile here:
Belgian Infantry Lil' EBR Acid Trooper Revenue from map items and bundles are split 50% to the map team, 30% to Steam and 20% to Unturned.



Additions:

• Added Belgium to curated maps list until May 5th.
  
• Added Belgian Infantry, Lil' EBR and Acid Trooper item bundles to Stockpile.
  

Tweaks:

• Tweaked unity logs to be written to UnityDebug_*.log in logs folder rather than appdata so that they are easier to find.
  

Fixes:

• Fixed horrible voice audio when using walkie talkie after relay change. Was caused by code using Stop() rather than Pause()! Sigh.
  
• Fixed some issues registering installed workshop content while Steam is in offline mode.
  
• Fixed Retrowave skins emission, and fixed accept process not enabling _EMISSION keyword.
  
• Fixed Hawaii Red Scrounger missing collision on rear half.
  

Additions:

• Added ability to craft random mythical skins.
  
• Accepted several limited-time skins to the Stockpile.
  
• Added Child_Explosion_Armor_Multiplier to vehicle assets and server vehicle config. When an explosion is obstructed by buildables attached to a vehicle, the damage is multiplied by these values. Prior to this update the equivelant value was 0%. Now the default for individual vehicles is 20% (0.2) and 100% (1) in server config, so an explosion blocked by armor plating on a vehicle will deal 20% of the explosion damage to the vehicle itself.
  
• Added onDamageTireRequested event.
  
• Added CollisionEventHook to ModHooks.
  

Improvements:

• Improved voice data to be relayed through server. More details below.
  
• Improved Stockpile Bundles to show preview images of all contained items.
  

Tweaks:

• Tweaked menu warning to show missing vehicle and buildable.
  
• Tweaked seeds to no longer absorb explosive damage!
  

Fixes:

• Fixed level hash to include lighting nodes, preventing editor enabling light underground.
  
• Fixed shooting while walking into underwater not dequipping immediately.
  
• Fixed landscape tile seams when using pixel average smooth tool.
  
• Fixed connecting to IPs with whitespace in front/back.
  
• Fixed crediting player stats for explosive kills.
  
• Fixed ragdoll effects attached to rocket launchers.
  
• Fixed rockets going the wrong direction in multiplayer when aiming at rubble.
  

Bet nobody saw this coming! Details:

• Skin is randomly selected from all weapon skins including drops, crates, and stockpile items, but excluding unique trophy skins. This means you can get skins that have never had mythical versions before. Chance / weighting of each item are equal.
  
• Mythic effect is selected from weapon-compatible set, and all effects have an equal chance of being selected. Technically these are different from the "Mythic" tag because they use a newer Steam feature, so they show as "Particle" tags in the inventory.
  
• Crafting requires x1,000 salvaged materials. This is an insane amount, and might be tweaked in the future. Some of the goals of mythic crafting are to improve the long-term value of your items, keep existing mythics valuable, and incentive sinking large quantities of items out of the economy, so it had to be a large amount. One factor is that inevitably bots will buy up all the 3 cent items for ~$30 per crafted mythic.
  

Previously voice chat was sent from the speaker to the appropriate players using Steam's P2P network, however this had the downside of opening clients to voice packet spam, likely abused by cheats. Now this data is validated through the dedicated server, and plugins can set allowVoiceChat to enable/disable voice for specific players.





Greece has now been retired to the Steam Workshop, and can be downloaded here:

Other mods that use Greece assets can add Greece as a "Required Item" from their owner controls to show players it's a prerequisite.
