Starship EVO News

A visual improvement has been added to improve the game feel from far distances.
Now thrusters, lights and entities have a smooth glow when viewed from afar (like the current light on the torus).
Soon more elements will use the same technology.

Bugfixes:

• #4126 Some rotator fails to load.
  

Thanks for playing!

The event gate now encompasses the features of the hotkey gate.
This update provides a few performance improvements.

On our test config during moment with no action it provided up to 30% FPS gains.

• NPCs field physics checks are now multi-threaded
  
• Turret rotator control logic is multi-threaded.
  

Bugfixes:

• #4119 Event gate is not visible.
  

Thanks for playing!

The event gate now encompasses the features of the hotkey gate.
Simply link a yoke to the hotkey gate to a event gate to trigger logic on player keybinds.
This update focuses also on event gate quality of life improvements with a texture switch on assignment.

New Features:

• Event gate texture will switch depending on the system it is linked to.
  
• Spaceship Computer: Is Boosting event
  
• Yoke events: Is controlled plus keybinds On Pressed and keybinds Is Pressed.
  
• Hotkey migrates to event gates.
  

Still wip:

• Keybind networking
  

Bugfixes:

1. #4113 Lag on brick delete.
   

Thanks for playing!

The event gate can now listen to "value" event: they function very much like the old query gate.
For example you can trigger logic when a rotator angle goes below a given threshold.

• All mechanism can be linked to an Event gate.
  
• Vehicle Computer can output Power and Heat Percentage.
  
• Old Query Gate will be migrated to the new gate format. The blueprint must be in .sevo format first!
  

Still WIP:

• Event gate shows mechanism range of values (like on the old query)
  
• Smarter input for percentage
  
• Continuous mode: ie the event gate would produce continuously a value between 0 and 1 like a manual controller.
  
• Event replace hotkey gate.
  

Bugfixes:

• #4070 #4097 #4046 Freeze linked to turrets.
  
• #4091 Prefab PNG preview not exporting.
  
• #4082 Issue with laser and logic.
  
• #4065 Most command are a bit too dark.
  
• #4089 Crash when deleting stacked children entity.
  
• #4052 Heat / Power balance not showing on blueprint load.
  

Thanks for playing!

The new Event Gate is added to the game!
It opens a new and exciting world of possibilities on the logic side.
Now logic can be triggered when "events" happens in the game.
For example: link a seat to the Event Gate. You can now trigger logic when any player sit down.

Some Features:

• Events can be toggle like or pulse like
  
• You can convert a toggle into a pulse
  
• You can specificy a pulse length
  

Dont hesitate to suggest any event you would like to listen!

List of events

• Seat: Is Player Seated
  
• Seat: On Player Seat
  
• Seat: On Player Exit
  
• Docking port and gate: Is Docked
  
• Turret Computer: On Player Control
  
• Turret Computer: On Auto-Control
  
• Turret Computer: On Control
  
• Turret Computer: Has Target
  
• Turret Computer: Is Firing
  
• Spaceship and Hovercraft Computer: Is Controlled

Still to do:

• Event Gate replaces the hotkey gate
  
• Can listen to system values
  
• Event Gate replaces the query gate
  
• Add the remaining systems
