Spring 2024 Update
Hi all!
We are very excited to announce a major update that will be taking place on Wednesday April 24th 2024. Not only will this update bring a significant set of updates and upgrades to some of our core scripts, but it will align our core framework with the newer core framework being used on New Day RP, enabling relevant development/features to be transferrable.
The updates are numerous and will effect several things not listed in this post, however we will share information on some of the most significant updates (and caveats). There will be some important information at the bottom regarding some caveats or temporarily disabled features!
Character Select
The first update you will encounter when you login is a completely redesigned character and spawn select screen. This new immersive character scene will display all of our active characters gathered around a campfire. Additionally it fixes some of the character skin related issues encountered in the old character select menu.
The way you spawn has also been changed. When you select your character, a map will be presented where you can select from a variety of default spawn locations in addition to your last character location. As a note, default spawn locations are unavailable for a time period after logging out (to prevent fast traveling).
Inventory and Crafting
The next major change you will notice is that the inventory and crafting systems have been completely redesigned. This provides a much smoother and cleaner experience for players. Some changes:
- Right clicking an item will now provide a context menu where you can use, split, or give items to other nearby players (no need to drop items on the ground to give them to others!)
- Certain items that used to be "unique" (i.e. only one item per slot) have now been "stacked", so you can have multiple canteens for example in one slot. Each canteen will still have a specific amount of water in it
- Crafting will now show the output of the items you have put into the crafting table / cooking pot before you craft
- Dropping items / moving items is much smoother than current inventory
Custom Clothing Dyes
A massive update to clothing will now be available, allowing players to apply custom colors/dyes to their clothing (*in a realistic manner). This will open up a world of new possibilities for tailors and players who want to show off their style with a unique outfit.
Improved Crafting Table/Cooking Pot Placement System
The tool to place crafting tables and cooking pots has been significantly improved. With this change, it should be noted that crafting tables that currently exist on the map will be wiped. Players are asked to please pick up their crafting tables before the update!
Trains and Trams
A feature long missing from Wild West RP, trains and trams will be making a return as part of this update. While Trams will be operated by our local Saint Denis Transit operators, trains will be operated by the player-run Frontier Railway Co. Keep an eye out for more information on that front!
Medical Changes & Reports
When players become incapacitated, they will now be able to request a doctor to come help them up. These requests will alert doctors as a report from a passerby, and include a generalized location where the incapacitated person is. Additionally there are a few new very basic medical additions such as the possibility of being knocked out, to bleed, as well as bandages to control bleeding.
Caveats / Known Issues
As this is a major update, there are a few items we wanted to note that are known to us but that we intend on resolving in the very near future.
- All jobs will be reset. You will need to be rehired
- Attachments system is temporarily disabled
There are a variety of other changes and upgrades we are working on that may not be present in this post (or may not be present on day one of this update, but will follow shortly). A lot of time and hard work has gone into making this update a reality, and I am extremely grateful to all of our developers, both at Wild West RP and our partner developer group, for the time that has gone into these changes. We are excited for what the next while looks like at Wild West RP!
