Howdy folks!

At long last we have another Experimental Build for the Update 117 cycle. This Update introduces a new (WIP) scene called the Qualification Range. This Sandbox scene differs from most of H3's other Sandbox scenes in that there are ambient Sosigs that have a multi-state behavior scheme. The first behaviors we've gotten working are a loop between grabbing a lane to shoot at, and returning to an Ammo station when they run out of ammo. The plan is to add a few more to these to create a more organic and lively range simulation.

Beyond that, this update includes a bunch of enhancement to the Destructible door system designed to generalize their behavior. Patrols spawned in the Grillhouse scene drop keys for the doors, the reset buttons are back, and a bunch of things are moving into place that will allow modders to start adding Destructible door to their maps (starting next week).

Anywho, if you'd like to see what else has changed check out the devlog above. As always, leave a bug report in the bug reports section of the forum or discord if you run into issues!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Howdy all!

Have a slightly earlier in the day Devlog and Update for y'all today, as we've got another great VR Dev friend in town from the other side of the world, and we're goin Shootin!

For this week's update we've got the return of some destructible furniture I'd be playing with ages ago and never finished. There's still a bunch of tuning to be done with their physics behavior, but they are now actually fully integrated with the game's item database and spawner (I royal pain in the meat for 60+ objects). You should expect the grab/movement feel of these to continue to change as I dial them in and experiment.

Anywho, I wish you all a WONDERFUL weekend. We'll be back next week with more work being done to finish and fix save/load of complex object types.

Peace,
Anton

Howdy All!

Have a proper build for you folks this week. My main focus was on clearly most of the bugs out of the backlogs that had accrued since the beginning of the year, but circled back to an item I'd started implementing last November, an Object Slingshot! This device is SUPER openly implemented, meaning basically any physics-active object that you can pickup can be fired from it, at the cost of that looking a bit janky. Shurikens, grenades, tippy toys, swords, guns, a sosig head, anything really!

I'm still tweaking some things on it, and I'm sure y'all will find a couple ways to totally break it that will need fixing next month. Hope you enjoy :-)

Peace,
Anton

[h3]Additions[/h3]

• Added New Weapon: Slingshot (Found under Exotic Weapons)
  

[h3]Changes:[/h3]

Howdy All!

Hope you've all had a pleasant holiday! I am still very much recovering from mine, but decided it would be fun to toss y'all a couple UTTERLY CURSED STUPID GUNS to start off 2025 RIGHT (to go with all the little bug fixes that were needed for this year's Meatmas guns).

I hope you all enjoy/loathe these as much as I have. Cy'all next week!
Peace,
Anton

It's THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN. That's right. The Meatmas Day update is now LIVE. Jump on into the Meatmas Snowglobe scene and unbox your toys! We're happy to have an upgraded unboxing experience this year, as the gifts can be found wrapped in our new Item boxes, complete with cardboard pull-tabs and packing peanuts :-)

As for the gifts themselves, please note that a few were SO UTTERLY CURSED that they were SHUNNED by the tree itself, and have been hidden around the scene instead. You have to go find them :-)

Anywho, It is almost 2am, and I've been working away on this update since I woke up yesterday, so I will leave you to your presents. All of us at RUST LTD. wish you and yours a Meeeeeeeerrry Meatmas and a Happy New Year!

Peace,
-Anton
