Hey Galactic Survivalists!

Not only on Ningues the days are getting colder. What could be more natural than to check your wardrobe and spruce it up. How you do it in the real world is up to you. For Empyrion, we've done it for you. For version 1.9, however, we have not only visually reworked the customizable basic models of the armor, but also tackled a lot of issues around the "Player Controller" and "On Foot Combat".

Among other things, the player avatar and the weapon handling have been improved with new motion animations. See below for more details.

So that you could try out the innovations directly in a fresh environment, version 1.9 comes for the first time in a long time with "Ashon" a completely new, but very challenging game start! We are curious to see how you like it.

As always, please check out our feedback forums and use the pinned threads:
https://empyriononline.com/forums/experimental-features-discussion.35/

Any bug reports please post directly to our bug forum:
https://empyriononline.com/forums/bugs.34/

We hope you have fun!
Empyrion Dev Team

PS: .Please note that all our official servers will be wiped with the public release!

Character Controller & Model
- The way how gravity affects the player has been changed to make it feel snappier
- The player now jumps slightly higher when the jetpack is activated
- Now only possible to sprint in forward directions
- Added new models for player suits: Interior suit, Light, Medium, Heavy & Heavy Epic
- New jetpack model for the following suits Medium, Heavy & Heavy Epic

Gunplay / Rebalancings
- Added bullet spread to zirax troops & Cyborg NPC's
- Added Procedural Weapon movements to weapons & tools in 1st person view. Models can now recoil, sway & move down when sprinting.
We have also added some new settings in the ItemsConfig.ecf for control over PWM to allow players or content creators to make adjustments & console command to use in game.
How to use:
Add these new settings to any weapon or tool in the ItemsConfig.ecf to override the default settings for PWM:
Code:
  { Child 6
    Class: Movements
    StandingLocation: "0.0, 0.0, 0.0"
    StandingRotation: "0.0, 0.0, 0.0"
    AimingLocation: "0.0, 0.0, 0.0"
    AimingRotation: "0.0, 0.0, 0.0"
    RunningLocation: "0.0, 0.0, 0.0"
    RunningRotation: "0.0, 0.0, 0.0"...

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

As most of you have probably already heard, we have moved the AntiCheat module to a newer version. Both versions are from Epic Games, however Epic Games will only continue to maintain the new version.

Therefore, for Empyrion Galactic Survival there is the following change:
All Empyrion versions before v1.8.10 (with the old module) can only be used WITHOUT EAC from December onwards.

If you want to continue using an older game or server version, you should disable EAC until the end of November as follows:
- Players: in the menu "Options / Misc" set the item "Start with EAC" to "No".
- Server operators:
a) set the parameter "EACActive: false" in dedicated.yaml
b) if desired, access to the server can be restricted by a password, which will be given only to trusted players

Thanks for your help!

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

Autumn is here and the forests are becoming a little more colorful again. "Colorful" is also one of the keywords for the current update 1.8.10!

While the programming team has focused on bug fixing, Art & Design have set out to make Empyrion even more colorful in some details - or rather to give YOU the possibilities to do so. For example, you can now use theColor & Texture tool to paint the thruster flares independently of the actual thruster block. The same applies to deco consoles with hologram elements!

By the way, you can now also copy colors and textures with the tool. And if you have a block in your hand you can copy complete blocks in CREATIVE mode.

For the current version, the content team has looked into the feedback of the game start tutorial and made first adjustments. Among other things, the 'Info Count' in the Escape Pod area has been reduced. Also, there is now a mini-tutorial at game start, in case you activate the Robinson protocol. To further reduce the popup count, information that was previously given in some pop ups has been moved directly to the hover info cards of the respective devices and items.

[​IMG]

All changes can be found in the changelog below.

In general, as always:
1. please submit bugs and errors here:
https://empyriononline.com/forums/bugs.24/

2. please post feedback on specific topics (e.g. tutorial, coloring etc) here in the pinned threads:
https://empyriononline.com/forums/faq-feedback.25/

Have fun with 1.8.10!
We are looking forward to your feedback!

Empyrion Dev Team

PS: Please note: Since we have changed numerous text passages in the game (items as well as text hints), not all entries have been translated back to all languages yet. Newly added entries have been provided with an automatic pre-translation (DE,FR,IT,ES,RU) which might still be in need of revision in parts. On this topic, respectively the general handling of the translations, we will announce something in the next...
