SCENT

Different species have different ranges of scent detection. Scent that is farther away will spawn a scent trail showing players the direction the scent is coming from. Scent that is closer to the player will spawn a scent plume showing players the location of the scent. Scavenger Mutation increases scent detection range by 25/50/100m per point and scent location range by 10/20/30m per point.

This effect will later be replaced with a unique equippable dragon pearl. Until the inventory system is added in a later update, Subscriber Rewards Pack owners will need to type /pearlon to turn on the effect and /pearloff to turn it off.

ADMIN

We have had admins request the ability to mute/unmute players from Global Chat who are offline. Mutes and Unmutes are now permanent on the server. We also added the ability to ban a player who is offline from the admin panel. This feature is useful as it does not require a server restart to take effect. Config bans also work but require a server restart.

  • Added /mute [steamid] slash command for offline players. Please use admin panel for online players
  • Added /unmute [steamid] for offline players. Please use admin panel for online players
  • Added /ban [steamid] slash command for offline players. Please use admin panel for online players

  • Added Survival+RPG HUD style option in Game Settings which combines the blood screen with the status bars
  • Force closing the game aka “combat logging” now causes your dragon to remain in the world for five minutes instead of just one. To leave the game properly, use the Menu to logout or quit.
FIXES
  • Fixed missing projectile hit decals
  • Elder Acid Spitter Acid Spit no longer impacts self when running
  • Fixed strange movement jitter from network peer Dragons that have grown beyond adult
