MSCO changelog, page 2

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone! This patch has general optimization of how the game world is synced across clients, but also brings an end to one of the biggest bugs thats has been present in MSCO 4.0. The Satsuma exploding bug still remained for some users in rare occasions, mostly to do with connection drops and hiccups, and after much testing I was finally able to simulate the bug, to which I found a viable solution. I apologise for being a little slow on MSCO, as you may know MWC is around the corner and I’ve spent time preparing MWCO which will release very soon!

Features

• Added Christmas decorations
• Added 3D snow particles to winter mode
  • Can be enabled in normal mode with console command ‘snow’
• Reworked death system
  • Players who die in cars will now be ejected immediately
• Core optimizations
  • Improved network stability
  • Optimized game world
  • Optimized satsuma parts
  • Removed developer-intended logs from the log file

Bug Fixes

• Fixed *Major* Satsuma bug that would cause car parts to dislocate from the main body randomly
• Fixed Satsuma breaking apart when players joined after it was moved from the save location
• Fixed Satsuma breaking apart when teleported using the F4 menu
• Fixed sync for shop items that were opened from the bag
• Fixed cars hitting the ground not hard enough causing death

Appreciate the support and we’re looking forward to your feedback as always!

We are live with another update for MSCO! The project is back to just being me and I don’t have much free time nowadays, so I’m sorry for taking a while on this one. Nevertheless I tried to do a quality update by firstly going through user reported bugs and then also testing the new MSC update which broke a couple of things. The updates will be more frequent from now on, same as before! In October I will add/refine mod support, and sync the remaining parts for Satsuma to fully finish it.

We are here with the mod support update! Dimitrov has delivered not the best of work to me for this update, which is why he is now off the developer team.

The monthly update of November is here!

Please brace for a big Christmas update 4.2 in December!

This patch focuses mainly on bug fixes and optimization. There were many requests to add MOP support back however we have done one better by implementing similar optimizations that MOP offers directly to MSCO. Sadly this isn’t a big update, dimitrov had a blue screen incident which caused a lot of progress to be lost which he will redo in a couple of weeks, these mostly addressed Satsuma bugs such as liquids draining randomly, battery bugs, items detaching after saving, etc.

Mod Features

• Added new system that stops items from falling out of cars
  • Removed boot freeze area
  • Items may jitter for others (being worked on)
• Added MOP-style optimizations
  • Optimized player cars
  • Optimized AI cars
  • Optimized places like shop, inspection, etc
  • FPS increase up to 40%
• Added safeguard system to stop Satsuma exploding
• Improved sync for consumables
• Improved sync for car ignition and stalling

Mod Bug Fixes

• Fixed players dying on small bumps whilst driving
• Fixed players dying when car gets hit by items
• Fixed bug where sometimes players couldn’t pick up items
  • Solved player arm animation to items
• Fixed main menu bug that didn’t show MSCO UI
