Time-line of the Isle's development

Classical Era

The Classical Era is the fan-made title for the time during the beginning of the game that lasted until the arrival of the Stegosaurus. During this time period, sandbox was the main mode on The Isle and brought peace to the dinosaurs of this time period. The dinosaurs that appeared during this time were: TSL Tyrannosaurus, Austroraptor, Carnotaurus, Gallimimus, Shantungosaurus, Therizinosaurus, and the Puertasaurus.

  • -Set sync markers and adjusted timelines for all vocal-related animations on all remaining creatures. Roaring should now be more reliable and hopefully not fail to produce a sound.
  • -Set up new focus-based attenuation falloffs for all remaining creatures. They should feel more naturally positioned than before.
  • -Started setting up different sound quality modes for the individual effects. This will be an ongoing process, so don't expect everything to have different quality levels instantly. The overall quality options effect how many sounds are playable in the world at once, whilst these changes will affect how much variety there is to the sounds based on your quality level.

Trike & Rex calls have low, medium & high variations set up. If you set sound quality to low you will hear less variety and the game will load in fewer sounds, meaning a lighter memory footprint. This has also been enabled for dinosaur footsteps & quetz wing flaps.

Patch 0.1.12.3360

Date: Tue, March 21, 2017 5:49 pm EDT

• Log:

Artwork by Seru

• Fixed footstep effects not triggering on other players
• Fixed Pachy still having intermesh collision.
• Fixed Shant Adult and Juvenile using the same damage scale model.
• Added growth factoring into the Shant stomp damage.
• Fixed Trike Adult and Juvenile using the same damage scale model.
• Added growth factoring into the Trike stomp damage.
• Added a leg break check for Trike stomp (They can no longer stomp with broken legs).
• Fixed Theri Adult and Juvenile using the same damage scale model.
• Added growth factoring into the Theri swipe damage.
• Theri damage should now be more consistent instead of randomly one-shotting dinosaurs during a combo, or doing almost no damage at all.
• Fixed grid material plane showing in water.
• Fixed Shant Juv somehow having Maia skin.
• Updated Puerta Juvie to no longer occasionally fall to death on their spawn.
• Fixed all of the lake placement on V4. Requires repainting.
• Fixed Legs healed faster standing then resting.
• Fixed Utahraptor having a footprint size of zero.
• Adjusted footprint decal heights for small dinos, should reduce the likelihood of them rendering on objects above the player. Note: they may not show on very steep slopes now, since the character's foot is often not properly touching the ground when climbing (or goes through it). This would automatically be fixed if / when we add accurate inverse kinematics. Also tweaked compression settings on footprint textures.

Patch 0.1.14.3636

Date: Mon, May 1, 2017 6:46 am EDT

Log:

• Adjusted apex stats (Giga/Spino/Rex/Acro) to focus on short bursts of speed and ambush. This is to move them away from extremely mobile "pursue forever" hunters that can't be dealth with.
• -Each apex has slightly different stats based on weight and damage that play off of their stamina. These are all relatively close together, but over time result in drastically different hunting capabilities.
• --Acro/Giga focus on a moderate, single burst of speed/long stamina regain time, with minor stamina regain during trots.
• --Rex focuses on a short, single burst of speed/moderate stamina regain time, with only stamina regen during resting.
• --Spino focuses on moderate, numerous bursts of speed/moderate stamina regain time, with minor stamina regain during trots.
• Updated: Acro weight/health to 1.2x values to bring it in line with its size.
• Updated: Giga bleed resistances to be the highest of all dinosaurs to adequately display dominance over Acro.
• Fixed: Anky juvy scale still being at 1.3 again and causing him to spawn with 20% values.
• Fixed: Damage and stomp timers now work on Shant/Trike/Puerta.
• Adjusted: Shant loses stamina per stomp and increased stomp damage. You now choose whether to flee or fight, not both.
• Fixed: Trike/Shant can no longer stomp on bone break (This functionality broke during damage update).
• Fixed: Baryonyx's weird animation that played any time he stopped moving during idle transition.
• Fixed: Theri attacking while sitting.
• Fixed: Hypo Rex attacking while sitting.
• Added: Orodromeus to progression, tier 1.
• Added: Camarasaurus to progression, tier 5 (from Shant).
• Moved: Puerta to tier 6 (from Camara).
• Fixed: Acro call emote so it no longer pulls from Allo animation.
• Fixed: Galli BP so his calls no longer distort his arms and upper body.
• Fixed: Herrera idle to limp idle having no transition.
• Fixed: Puerta from having an incosistent, jittery walk.
• Fixed: server alignment in server list UI.
• Reimported corpses with new origin point to fix floating/sunken gore corpse meshes. (Adjusted all dinosaur corpses as the reimport screwed up all dinosaur sizes. Current sizes will not be accurate. Needs adjustment!)
• Added native attack damage boolean to all dinosaurs.
• Fixed Rex bite proc'ing twice on hit.
• Fixed the corpse sizes from last night, fixed Acro camera, improved Pue, Oro, and Camara camera.
• Fixed Camara skins having white spots.

Patch 0.1.14.3662

Date: Sat, May 6, 2017 9:56 am EDT

Log:

• Adjusted stamina for all dinosaurs other than Apex.
  • -- Dinosaur stamina is accounted for speed, weight mass, and overall drain/recovery.
  • -- Smaller dinosaurs, while slower than some apexes, can run for longer, which results in an overall further running distance than Apexes and some larger, bulkier dinosaurs. However, their regain is not as potent, which results in larger dinosaurs being able to track them over time with appropriate sprint/trot usage for stamina management.
  • -- Carno is now the definition of "I will run you down if I don't lose sight of you" animal with stamina adjustments.
• Increased Shanty stamina pool slightly, while increasing the stamina drain on stomp by 5. This should give him a larger spread between flight or fight, and not be as punishing if the Shant tries to flee.
• Suchomimus finally has a weight mass upgrade by over 1k. Is no longer a pushover for anything less than an Acro+ size animal.
• Added: New Framework for Blacklisted Servers. Now displays a helpful error message about why a server might be blacklisted.
• Note: Servers will only be blacklisted if they violate laws, The Isle EULA and or various relevant Steam EULAs.
• Fixed: Camarasaurus F call. (Note: It still doesn't have a attack animation. Work in progress.)
• Fixed: Minor Alignment Problem in Server List UI and Filter Options using the wrong background texture.
• Fixed: physics on Orodromeus/Camarasaurus.
• Fixed: Utah idle playing sound EVERY SINGLE LOOP, RICHARD.
• Added: appropriate sockets to Shantungosaurus.
• Fixed: Allo bite socket being magically broken again.
• Fixed: Camarasaurus vocal wheel breaking.
• Added: Shanty sockets in the right place.
• Fixed: Utahraptor stamina drain and damage.
• Added: effects to Utahraptor pounce animations
• Added: effects to new drink + eat anims for Giganotosaurus, Velociraptor, juvenile T.Rex
• Synced effects to new Herrerra, Austro animations
• Synced sounds to new eat + drink anims of adult T.Rex and subadult T.Rex
• Added: effects to new eat + drink anims for Psittaco, Puerta &, Camara. That should be all of them for now.
• Fixed: incorrect footprints on Camaro sprint animation
• Fixed: a handful of missing Giga sounds.
• Fixed: Putera was still doing damage from the native attack code.
• Fixed: Trike doesn't loose stamina when stomping.
• Fixed: Galli Attack not working properly.
• Fixed: Attack and Eating Problems with Shanty, Theri and Trike.

These are great for reporting bugs and solving problems as you can just send the devs a copy of a replay file.

• • Replays are saved in: %localappdata%TheIsleSavedDemos
  • Client Side Recorded Replays will only have data within replication distance ( around 2 km ) of the dinosaur recording.
  • Server Side Replays will be coming soon and that will record all traffic on the server regardless of the distance.

• Removed: Old UI Backgrounds / Old Button UI
• Updated all carnivore blueprints and changed points in time they convert from juvenile to adult.
• All carnivores now start at adult at the same size/slightly smaller than the tier they just progressed from.
• All carnivores have had their on-hit damage mitigated to a much smaller amount, and bleed has been adjusted on all of them so they all do some form of bleed can track prey as scent tracking is on the horizon.
• Herbivores such as Anky/Diablo/Ava/Dryo/Pachy/Maia have all had their health and weight mass increased so they no longer instantly die to larger predators.

Patch 0.1.29.4753

Date: Mon, November 13, 2017 3:34 am EST

Log:

• If this patch has any major problems please read our previous announcement about legacy branch and patch stability.
• New: Eating / Drinking System (Work in progress). Holding the use key will now cause your dinosaur to eat for the duration it is held down instead of it being a one use action. Letting go of the use key will result in the dinosaur canceling the use once the animation is finished. We will add future ability to use the movement keys to interupt the animation however this is not implemented yet.
• Animations are not yet finished for all dinosaurs, herbivores will consume a plant without playing an animation until their eating system is finished and re-done. It will work similar to bodies but plants. Some Dinosaurs will have some animation errors, this is being worked on. Report problems on discord.
  

• New: Eating / Drinking Animations for all dinosaurs and improved particle effects / sounds.

Date: Sat, January 6, 2018 4:40 am EST

Log:

• Work in progress new replacement movement code. many things might be broken.
  

For a stable experience please play on legacy.

• How to change your game version to Legacy:
  • 1. Right click The Isle in your Steam library and select Properties
  • 2. Go to the Betas tab
  • 3. Use the drop-down menu to select "legacy- Previous stable branch"
  • 4. Run the game or restart Steam to begin auto-downloading the legacy branch

• The legacy branch is usually several updates behind the current dev build, so may be missing certain features or fixes. However, it is the most stable version of The Isle and does not receive patches as rapidly as the live development branch. Because of this, we advise players who do not wish to update constantly to opt into the legacy branch.

Patch 0.1.33.5576

Date: Mon, January 29, 2018 12:43 pm EST

Log:

• Developer Note:

• We have been doing smaller, more frequent patches instead of grouping them into big ones because that makes it easier to discover exactly what might be broken and where. Most fixes are made based on player feedback from their server experiences and some optimizations can only be found by analyzing a 60 player server or more.
• Those who wish to receive fewer updates or want a more stable version of the game to play on can switch to the Legacy beta branch. See the bottom of this post for details on how.

• Updates:
• Fixed: Tribals being able to pickup bows when they already have one.
• Optimized: Server / Game Performance.
• Transition Growth Bug Fixes.
• Started roughing in more human areas to AE-001 map.
• Added more varied water sources and edible plants to more parts of AE-001.

• How to change your game version to Legacy:
• 1. Right click The Isle in your Steam library and select Properties
• 2. Go to the Betas tab
• 3. Use the drop-down menu to select "legacy- Previous stable branch"
• 4. Run the game or restart Steam to begin auto-downloading the legacy branch
• The legacy branch is updated less frequently so may be missing certain features or fixes from the latest development build. However, it is the most stable version of The Isle. Because of this, we advise players who do not wish to update constantly or who are having performance issues to opt into the legacy branch.

Patch 0.1.34.0

Date: Tue, February 20, 2018 4:27 am EST

Log:

• Patch ID: 0.1.34.0

• "Greetings Islanders,
  

With almost a month gone by since the last patch, we're trying a few new things. First of which I'm sure you'll notice is a new patch format. After each part of the patch update, there's a bit of a developer explanation (however short or long) posted after, for your convenience to see why we did something, as opposed to us just doing it. If the new patch formatting doesn't work out, we'll just post SVN logs and set ourselves on fire.

• That being said, we also have a third development branch up to streamline testing. We updated a private "experimental" branch for us to break everything ourselves before it reaches QA (development) branch, and then touching you all on public. We have enough people that it shouldn't be unrealistic for us to catch most bugs before a patch hits public. The vast majority of you hate frequent patches, regardless of how much it helps us. We will do our best to abide by the desires for uninterrupted gameplay."

• - Temporarily halting Mac support.
  • As it stands there's a lot of issues that have been ongoing with Mac. We're going to have to halt Mac support for an unknown amount of time while we sort out some extremely nefarious issues with the Mac builds.
• - Fixed database not saving growth and progression.
  • There was a lot of wonky saving issues going on and what caused a lot of crashing and performance problems. If we listed it all out, ragnarok would be upon us before you were halfway done reading. It's our fault... sorry.

• -- Database system now uses json files.
  • Easier saving, but the servers now use a new filepath for saving. Server hosts are dependent to update these for their servers to work properly.
• - Moved to Unreal Engine 4.18.3
  • As much fun as it is to have a custom engine, it's actually not. Everything about the first part of that sentence was sarcasm. It's likely we'll move to 4.19.1 when the engine version is out, because there's a lot of parallel development between what we are doing and Fortnite, but any obscene upgrades in the future will just be backported fixes so we can have a stable engine branch.
• - Fixed various levelbounds issues on AE-001 and Isle_V3 causing anomalous stuttering.
  • A lot of players were experiencing random awful stuttering randomly throughout AE-001 and Isle V3. None of it was random. It was bad levelbounds and level loading. All players should see an end to that now.
• - Added Giganotosaurus and Gallimimus to development and QA testing on survival mode.
  • Once QA confirms there's nothing obscenely wrong with either of these two lifecycles, you'll see them publicly released to play in survival, followed swifly by a certain honking hadrosaur!
• -- Dinosaur skins are now loaded correctly based on selected gender
  • *Dinosaurs still only have two genders.
• - Web links from game menus will now open in the steam overlay whenever possible.
  • This is just a quality of life thing, because no one likes a game being minimized for a pop-up.
• - Chat system no longer requires enter being pressed twice to open.
  • When the double-tap chat feature was put in, we were so occupied with whether or not we could, we didn't stop to think whether or not we should.
• -- Mouse control is enabled during chat to select necessary tabs.
  • Because honestly, only using the bracket keys was actually the worst.
• Known Issues:

• - Servers temporarily do not advertise the amount of players in the session.
  • It's a pain in the ass, we know. Solved next patch, but we didn't want you all to have to wait for this one particular fix.

• - Character rotation does not save.
  • More of an annoyance than anything, but at least you can reposses your old player controller now.
• - AI disabled until next patch.
  • On occasion they cause a server crash, but we decided to gut the system altogether to begin making AI that has smart decisions.
• - Server Filters are currently bugged.
  • The latest patch seems to have made some server filters sentient. Untick your server filter options and servers will appear.

Patch 0.1.34.1

Date: Mon, February 26, 2018 9:10 am EST

Log:

• Patch ID: 0.1.34.1
• Greeting islanders,
  

• This patch is one of those in-betweeners where it's mostly bug-fixing and nothing super cool beyond a return to functionality for certain features. Next patch should be some cool content stuff, like weather and things like that. Most recently we've been looking into the IK features to smooth things out and get dinosaur bodies and terrain alignment going without looking super weird. There's still a few hiccups with the ragdolls and corpses being inconsistent and will be addressed next patch.
• - Improved the main menu experience.
  • Basically, we added ambience... and two hidden things.
• - Improved network error reporting when having mismatched content with a server.
  • ^ Easier to read and understand how and why something went wrong, both on the back-end, and for players.
• - Added Steam Authentication and Valve Anti-Cheat support.
  • For many reasons on a list longer than the petition of players who want Half-Life 3, we're moving away from BattlEye.
• - Added 720p screen resolution support in the video settings.
  • Self-explanatory. More resolution support, more happiness.
• - Increased the connection timeout limit from 60 seconds to 300 seconds.
  • This is primarily for players with lower end machines. Now people shouldn't be experiencing timeouts while they're loading in just because they can't afford a high-end rig.
• - Fixed players characters not being deleted from the database if they were killed while logged out of the server.
  • Also self-explanatory. Shame on you body dupers. We'd ban you if it wasn't our fault for it being an exploit in the first place.
• - Fixed servers not advertising their current player-count.
  • Remember that thing we said we knew was broken but we'd fix next patch?
    

It's fixed.

• - Fixed several issues related to the chat window.
  • Nothing special here. Just stupid little things. Also the click-clack sounds will be returning.
• - Fixed several issues related to nests.
  • A bunch of tiny errors and problems thanks to QA showed up. All of them should be resolved and nests should work as they originally did before they became a nuisance.
• - Fixed certain server filters no longer working.
  • Also something we broke moving away from a custom engine and script automation that we thought was good for the game but wasn't. Fixed it!
• - Fixed characters rotation not saving.
  • Don't ask why it wasn't working. It was stupid and we feel bad.
• - Fixed listen servers being forced to LAN only.
  • Now you can host your own servers without being forced to dedicated.

Patch 0.1.38.5

Date: Sat, May 5, 2018 4:57 pm EDT

Log:

• Patch 0.1.38.5: The Mega Patch, or as close as we're gonna get to it.
• Greetings Islanders,
  

• You know that format we've been doing where we put little notes from us on every change? Well, it's been two months. Unfortunately the time it would take with that format with these patch notes would probably take us as much time as George RR Martin finishing Winds of Winter so we're going to pass on the format this ONE time. In this announcement you're getting more cliffnote-esque blurbs than exacts because, again, I'm not writing a Crichton novel length patchnote. I'm sure this will result in a negative review somewhere.

• Updated to latest Unreal Engine version.
• Removed exploit that allowed server administrators to set players as Hyperendocrin dinosaurs.
• All reported crashes have been fixed. Client edge cases may remain, so continue to submit reports.
• Fixed a movement bug that would cause your character to randomly begin to spin.
• Chat system is redone. Includes a new color rich display and logs all chat to the server console.
• New chat command system for administrators and players (type /help in game).
• New spectator mode for admins (default key is backslash ).
• Bleed system has been updated to tick every 3 seconds instead of 0.1, so you don't just instantly die from something biting you and guaranteeing death. This is customizable and will be tweaked further, but for now enjoy some breathing room.
• Parasaurolophus added to survival (two life stages).
• Triceratops added to survival (three life stages).
• Gallimimus added to survival (two life stages).
• All dinosaurs in survival have had various tweaks to stats to adjust placement in the ecosystem. These are not final.
• Added a new swimming system: swimming now consumes stamina and dinosaurs begin to lose oxygen and drown if in the water for too long afterwards.
• Every survival dinosaur now starts at full hunger/thirst.
• Important note: Carnotaurus is now the fastest carnivore but has no longer can ambush.
• Every carnivore in survival now has their hunger update every 60 seconds instead of 120.
• Carnotaurus, Utahraptor, Gallimimus, Tyrannosaurus, and Triceratops have had overhauls to idles, locomotion, etc, to give more life to them instead of looking like statues.
• Water system is completely redone. New visual and sound effects, etc. Dinosaurs now make appropriate ripples and sounds based on mass. There's also ambient sounds in relation to the water.
• Ambient sounds have been added. Insects and birds can be heard based on the appropriate time of day/night.
• Weather: Dynamic weather system has been introduced. Weather will decide severity in increasing order; sunny, cloudy, overcast, rain, storm, severe. There's a ton of detail here, just go look in game.
• New dead body system: Ragdolls convert to static mesh based on body food value, and now properly removes bodies after a set amount of time to help reduce server lag.
• Improved performance of dinosaur headtracking.
• Fixed Distance Field Ambient Occlusion.
• Added Thenyaw Island map (recommended for 50 players; 100 max or gameplay starts to fall apart).
• Re-added Isle V3 for testing (first pass for foliage so it's relatively light for food.)
• New eating mechanics for herbivores (vibrant blue bushes). Hold E to eat. When the bush is consumed it will convert to a bare mesh.
• Added steam friends compatability (Invite Friend/Join Friend now functions).
• All dinosaurs resized to their accurate sizes... again... for the final time... we swear... hopefully.
• Updated animations for most dinosaurs (now support fullbody). This includes eat/drink for most of the sandbox related ones.
• Updated several sounds for various dinosaurs and their transition distances. Before you flip your lids, no, Utahraptor broadcast is not the same sound from Jurassic Park, but it's close! Tortoises mating... ew.
• New server database system which now stores bans.
• Admins can now kick/ban from the server scoreboard.
• Fixed more UI bugs than we can remember.
• Took Region2 out back and put it in a grave next to Mesa.
• Overhauled the vegetation system and models. Ground bushes are currently absent.
• Fixed a game freeze when a new player would spawn.
• Fixed skins not loading based on gender.
• Removed humans temporarily while they're being re-written.
• Fixed sandbox not listing all available dinosaurs.
• Fixed skylight/directional lights for the time of day not updating or synchronizing.
• Hatchlings can now eat food from their nest.
• Updated detail to all of the ground and foliage materials.
• Added in various world effects (geysers, birds, etc). For added fun, try swimming into a geyser when you're a hatchling (or juvenile utah/galli).
• Fixed camera shaking every frame update when trotting.
• World aligned all rock mesh textures and ground rock textures.
• Combat logging (alt-F4'ing) now results in your character being left in the world for five minutes.
• Updated almost all dinosaur cameras to be more responsive and have better positioning.
• Herbivores are now relegated to grouping/chatting with their own species.
• Server admins can join their respective server even if it's full.
• Fixed a bug where changing graphics settings removed bushes.
• Disabled console.
• Disabled debug menu.
• Server admins can now display player names on their own screen (default key is delete).
• Eating plants no longer restores thirst.
• Players do not lose thirst when it is raining or storming.
• Added ambush status to the HUD to inform the player when their ambush is ready.
• Fixed multiple bugs related to ambush.
• Improved HUD animations.
• Fixed technical bugs in relation to kick/ban functionality.
• Added lava effects and environment types.
• Cleaned up nest interface UI.
• Updated various dinosaur state effects including blood visuals.
• Improved how network errors are displayed.
• When kick/banned from a server, it now displays an optional reason from the admin.
• If you join a server when banned, it now displays how long you have left on your ban (or if permanent).
• Fixed a lot of weird dinosaur bite spheres... again.
• Added in a dynamic music system. Needs tweaking for how frequent and when it plays, but for now it's something!
• Expanded our Dev Team. Please welcome our newest member, Tapwing!

• The changelist above is not fully complete, it's just the only real surface stuff anyone can see was completed. We hope you enjoy the patch and feel the two month wait was worth it.
  

• See you on the island.

Patch 0.1.38.6

Date: Thu, May 10, 2018 2:17 am EDT

Log:

• Patch Hotfix 0.1.38.6
• Greetings islanders,
  

• As expected, there were a few hiccups with the latest patch. This rollout should fix the issues we've had reported.
  • Slightly lowered Carnotaurus bleed.
    • In an attempt to bring Carnotaurus in line with some balance, we're taking his bleed down by 5.
  • Lowered Carnotaurus turning angle when running.
    • He's still the fastest, but jukes now work.
  • Slightly increased juvenile Utahraptor trot and run speed.
    • Utahraptor is in a good place, but the juvenile was not. We're giving it a little bit of the zoomies.
  • Fixed Gallimimus health discrepancies between hatchling/juvenile/adult.
    • For some reason, his health was resetting back down to the 20's when he was adult. It was actually the worst.
  • Fixed juvenile Giganotosaurus hunger decay only being at 1.
    • A lot of people were reporting that Giga juvies didn't have to eat because of how fast they grew... they did and still grow at the same rate of juvenile tyrannosaurus, but their hunger was stuck at 1 decay. We scaled it to be the same as the rex.
  • Adjusted wet gloss clamp for dinosaur skins.
    • Now they look wet instead of oiled up WWE wrestlers.
  • Added a "floor" to lava volumes so players can't walk underneath them.
    • No more falling through and living.
  • Added a new rock cliff texture to avoid visual artifacts.
    • In rare cases it looked like a paintball fight occured on the mountains. We changed up the texture a bit.
  • Re-enabled distant shadows in several bush meshes.
    • Because not having shadows in the distance is ugly.
  • Adjusted blood decal material to be more PBR-accurate.
    • Does anyone like the blood looking like the T-1000? No. This bug is terminated.
  • Adjusted capsule half-heights on survival dinosaurs to be more accurate.
    • This should fix some of the dinosaurs swimming beneath the water. It will also allow us to put in the new swimming oxygen detection soon.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause a certain set of players to never load into a level since the engine update.
    • This should help lower end PC's, but if you don't meet the specifications there's nothing we can do for you.
  • Permanently disabled steam family sharing players from playing online.
    • This is/was/always will be the most abused thing in the history of abused things. It will not come back.
  • Fixed voice wheel functionality
    • General bugfix, even though all of you should use 1,2,3,4,F.
  • Disabled stamina regeneration while crouched.
    • A new feature to prevent people from crouching everywhere forever. Have you tried crouching for a long time? Cramps, man... cramps.
  • Heavily increased herbivore food found on Isle_V3.
    • Apparently looking in fields was too hard for many people. We've increased the food count to see how it affects herbivore populations.
  • Added alphabetical sorting to the character selection screen.
    • No one liked the random order of dinosaurs on the list.
  • Fixed several bugs related to jumping for Gallimimus and Utahraptor.
    • None of you get to fly anymore.
• See you on the island.

Patch 0.1.38.7

Log:

[list]

• Fixed being unable to use world items after recently using one.

[*]Fixed head rotation issues related to using world items.

Patch 0.1.50.9

Date: Wed, August 8, 2018 11:50 am EDT

Log:

• Greetings islanders,
• Here's the July patch... in August. Look, don't ask. There's a joke here about a time machine. In actuality, we're just late. The reasons, or "patch notes" as we call them, are below.
• Known Issues
• The games build configuration has been changed to one more optimized, but this also means that the location of your user settings has changed as well. To find the new location, open the settings menu and look at the path listed near the bottom. You will need to reset your settings to have access to the new keys, so click the Reset button in the settings area and restart your game.
• Note: Gameplay is being developed with Survival mode in mind, the following may not fully function in Sandbox.
• The character database has been wiped.
• [list]
• Gameplay

• New Night Vision system, eyes and footprints now glow in the dark
  • This has been a long time coming. No more nightvision that looks like gamma cranked up to 11.
• Night vision viewing distance is different per class
  • Certain dinosaurs see better at night. We're still tuning this, so don't rage too hard if your favorite dinosaur isn't the best in the world at night.
• New scent system, hold Q to detect footprints, food and water, doesn’t work if its raining
  • All dinosaurs can scent to varying degrees. With the changes to edible plants, herbivores can now easily sniff out and highlight their edible food.
• Footprints no longer appear with every step but have a chance to appear scaled by speed
  • This was pretty simple but necessary with the way tracking works now. The faster you move, the more likely you are to leave prints behind.
• Utah and Dryo now have increased jump survivability
  • These two, despite having pretty decent jumps, broke their legs too easily. This has been rectified with steel shin bones.
• Fixed improper food values on several dinosaurs
  • A few decimals got switched around and resulted in a bad time. We fixed that.
• Rebalanced growth times of all Survival species
  • Adjusted each species range (small/medium large) to be relatively similar, but have large gaps in between. Large animals now spend more time at a subadult phase.
• Added AI dinosaurs: Orodromeus & Psittacosaurus
  • Cute, but succulent food for carnivores. Precious little noise makers.
• Added the following dinosaurs to Survival mode - Allosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Diabloceratops, Dilophosaurus, Dryosaurus, Maiasaura
  • New dinosaurs are always good, so here they are.
• Maps
• AI dinosaurs now spawn on the maps
• Increased overall number of spawn points
• Spawn system now tries to avoid placing you near other players

Patch 0.1.52.1

Date: Tue, January 22, 2019 5:16 am EST

Log:

• From this point forward we will be merging the development and public branches. Internal testing will remain closed to the development team and QA testers to catch what we can before it goes out to the general public. The idea of this is to prevent the segregation of the playerbase due to the massive influx of players and to make it easier for everyone to enjoy the latest content.
• Skin System

• Available colour selection varies per dinosaur, male dinos have bolder options open for male detail markings.
• Players can save up to 8 presets per species, and these are usable on any server.

• Look for more options and patterns being added in future updates!

• Inverse Kinematics

• This is still highly experimental and work in progress, so expect some bugs and unintentional hilarity.
• First implementation of general dinosaur terrain alignment, which adjusts the character's angle to match the terrain.
• First implemention of dinosaur foot/body IK, which connects feet to the ground and adjusts the dinosaurs spinal column to the terrain and around various models in the world.

• Fixed a fatal server crash related to the AI manager.
• Fixed a fatal client crash related to loading the main menu after being disconnected.
• Fixed the tyrannosaurus bite damage accidentally being nerfed into the grave.

• We added a tool to the game that will help us track down and fix crashes players experience. If you get a crash please report it using the new tool so we can take a look.
• Seizure of Power
• We have made available more commands for server admins to better moderate and tinker with their in-game population, to see the new commands type /help in chat.

• Finish the fight
• For a long time now, fights have been dictated with "Break their bone and kill them from behind" or "Hit them with enough bleed that no matter what they do, they die." This is our first step in trying to rectify that. If a bleed tick would place you under 10% health, its damage is ignored.
• Return of the Giga
• With the return of the Giga, this marks the final roster for the next two months. We know Giga is a big point of contention because he's as large as the tyrannosaur but we don't want them to just be the same creature. With his reintroduction, a wrench may be thrown into the niches of both his prey and other competing predators. We will be adjusting stats over the next week or so to get every survival dinosaur into a stable position of being able to stay alive both in solo-play and in groups. Please be sure to leave feedback inside the official Discord.

EVRIMA Patch 0.4.7.05

Date: Thur, July 26, 2020

Log:

• Hey Islanders, It's been a little while since our last update and our team has been working hard to resolve the various issues reported in EVRIMA version 0.4.3.13. Below you'll find an informative changelog, listing everything we've added/fixed/optimised for this patch. If you encounter any issues or have any feedback you'd like to provide please let us know across our various platforms! We value your input and eagerly look forward to it.

AI is still undergoing vigorous testing from our dedicated QA team and I'll be sure to keep you all updated on it's progress!

Evrima Patch 0.4.14.07

Date: Fri, August 14, 2020

Log:

• Hey Islanders! It's been a little while since our last update and we would like to thank you all for your patience and continued feedback.

A lot of this past month for QA has been testing the new AI in development by amar0k. Unfortunately, however, the AI has to be delayed for this patch whilst we work to resolve some significant issues. The main reason for this is because the spawning system they currently use seems to have a huge performance hit on servers, resulting in players being unable to interact with each other (pounce stops working entirely, for example) and characters teleporting around. As well as this, we have run into a few issues which include, but aren't limited to, the AI occasionally being invisible in various circumstances, the AI losing aggro very quickly if it cannot reach a player, and the AI becoming stuck in water sources, making for easy and unrewarding kills.

Whilst we know that AI is a long awaited addition, we believe that performance should always come first in these scenarios, especially given the time it has taken for the update to be prepared for release. We'll do our best to keep you all updated on the status of those issues as we diligently work to resolve them. Thank you for your understanding.

Additions

• Added new Tenontosaurus claw attack when stationary.
• Added fast get up feature. Press any movement key while resting to stand up quickly at the cost of a portion of your stamina.
• Added sleeping safelog mechanic. Hold H while resting to begin sleeping, which will initiate a logout timer. When the timer reaches 0, the player will automatically be logged out. This is the only way to initiate your safelog now - using Escape menu to logout will only result in a quick log and leave your character in the server for 5 minutes.
• Added local and global chat options for servers. More will come with future additions, such as grouping. (press tab to toggle modes while chat is open)
• Added pack scent mechanic. When many dinosaurs gather in an area they start emitting scent, which gives away their position.
• Added locked health system. After taking damage, a portion of that damage becomes locked from your maximum health, causing scars that take significantly more time to heal. (Sleep, wallow and rest are going to affect this in the future)
• Added underwater post process to ocean. (Rivers coming soon)
• Added tooltips when hovering over stats whilst the chat is open.
• Added tooltips when hovering over the growth bar in the dino profile.
• Added distinct sounds for small dino movement on sand.

Known issues

• Here is a list of some of our known high priority issues, not including the other 100+ bugs on our internal tracker. If you have anything else to add, please use the following form: https://forms.gle/ufXDnxNfhRhZ7CCi8

• Huge GPU performance impact caused by footprints decal material.
• Wallowing does not mask clientside footprint tracks when scenting, however, it does still mask your tracks for other players.
• Global chat will show as LocalSpecies if you are using the LocalSpecies channel. This is a visual issue but shouldn't have any effect on the functionality of the channels.
• Two or more players pouncing a single target can sometimes cause one of the Utahraptors to "break" - vocals and attacks do not seem to function after this occurs. Relogging fixes the issue.
• Occasionally using the admin command to slay yourself results in your character being completely invisible clientside. Relogging fixes the issue.
• Swimming is working a bit wonky at the moment. Players may bounce vertically occasionally.

EVRIMA Patch 0.7.85.04 (New Heights, New Depths)

Date: Fri, April 30, 2021

Log:

Additions

• Added Deinosuchus as a playable class. Spacebar in water - Swim upwards. Ctrl in water - Swim downwards. Hold RMB when waterwalking (walking on the bed of water sources) - Big lunge. Used to grab targets to drown them. Only effective on targets half your weight or less, otherwise causes you to be staggered. Hold RMB on land - Small lunge. As above, but doesn't launch as far and costs more stamina. Tap RMB when swimming - Water boost. Used to rapidly launch yourself to your fastest swimming speed. Can also be used to grab swimming targets in the water. Passive - Water Sense. Used for detecting nearby movement in water. Hold Q while underwater - Enhanced Water Sense. Used to detect movement in water at a further range. The longer the key is held, the further you can sense. In order to use regular scent you must be above the surface of water. The Deinosuchus cannot eat food while underwater. The Deinosuchus must rise to the surface of water or be on land in order to do so.
• Added Pteranodon as a playable class. Hold Spacebar while stationary - Stationary take off. Used to launch yourself into the air to fly. Stamina cost is subject to change. Hold Spacebar while sprinting - Running take off. As above but can be performed while sprinting. Stamina cost is subject to change. Hold Spacebar while flying - Fly upwards. Hold Ctrl while flying - Fly downwards. Hold Shift while flying - Fly faster at an increased stamina cost. Hold Z while flying - Air break. Used to slow yourself down in order to land safely. Be careful though! If you lose too much momentum you will fall from the sky. Hold RMB while flying close to a water source - Skim the water. Perform this action above ripples in water sources to catch fish. Release RMB when prompted to catch a schooling fish. The Pteranodon cannot swallow food while flying.
• Reworked the entirety of Spiro.
• Added Oxygen System. Character's that go underwater will lose oxygen at various speeds per species. Stamina is required to swim on the surface of water - if you run out you will begin to sink underwater. When near death from drowning, heartbeat sounds will begin to play and the screen will fade to black.
• Added Schooling Fish. These smaller fish swim in groups and can only be caught by the fishers on the island (currently only Deinosuchus and Pteranodon).
• Added Elite Fish. These fish are much larger and can be caught by both fishers and non-fishers. They also yield more food. Fishers will have an easier time catching these than non-fishers.
