Patch Notes

• Fixed a bug where the nickname was not showing when a coop partner planted an item
• Major Refactor: The game initialization has been revamped. You can now join as soon as the game has been created by the host, allowing you to load in parallel.
• Players can now play Ground Zero even if one group member is over level 20
• The name of the item is now displayed when pinging an item
• The name of the container is now displayed when pinging a container
• Freecam up/down axis has been fixed and no longer has erratic movement when reaching the highest/lowest point

• Major Refactor: Throwables (grenades, smokes, flashbangs) are now owned by the host and the position of each throwable is updated by the host and sent to clients. This should make throwables act just like on live and there should be no inconsistencies on where they land.
• Pings and freecam movement is now blocked if the console is open
• Bot generation now takes the highest player's level into account instead of the host
• Major New Feature: Headless clients are now "supported" for testing. Please read the documentation for setup instructions.

• Scope zeroing is now synced when changed
• Dry fire is now synced (shooting with an empty mag and chamber)

• Added new game manager for the MIA status, preventing errors when you go MIA
• Major overhaul of both NetManagers (Server and Client)
• Major Feature: Added mod verification, server can choose a list of mods that are allowed, and also optional mods. Trying to run any other mod will prevent the user from joining the session
• You can now play with people from inside your network as well as outside
• Free cam now switches side when spectating a player and that player toggles left stance
• New Feature: You can now blacklist items from being sent to other players in the server configuration
• Improved the Matchmaker UI
• Force Start has been removed. It serves no purpose in the current state of Fika and caused more harm than it helped
• You can now enable a debug overlay with the console command debug true, disable with debug false. You can request new things to be shown in it in #feature-requests
• Improved bot despawning logic
• The KeepAlive pinger has been moved to an earlier stage of the session, preventing the session to timeout if the host's computer is too slow
• 'Waiting for X players' now shows the % of players that are ready
• Added in-game text chat. It is still an early implementation, please give constructive feedback in #feature-requests. Key bind can be changed in the F12 menu
• Updated BTR code to the latest SPT
• Decreased min values for damage multipliers
• Improved health bar code, increasing performance
• TriggerZones are now synced from host to clients upon death, should reduce the amount of inconsistencies with "kill X in area Y" quests
• Aggressor handling code now only runs if you were the killer, reducing amount of redundant work
• Run Through can now trigger again
• Major Feature: Quest sharing has been added. When enabled, the types you enable will be shared and received by other players if they have these enabled as well. E.g. killing a scav will give everyone credit. This allows for a more casual and fun progression for those that want it. Please give feedback in #feature-requests
• Host can no longer click the Disconnect button when there are players connected
• Major Change: Damage has been overhauled again. The armor pen and damage calculations are now handled locally, and then broadcasted to everyone, instead of it being calculated locally on each client. Armor damage is then synced to everyone after as well. This will resolve a lot of inconsistencies with armor damage in-game, and make damage more reliable in general.
• Added new EoD and Unheard dog tags to the apppopriate accounts
• Free cam now shows an overlay with all key binds, which should clear up a lot of confusion
• Free cam no longer automatically disables culling for the entire world, instead it is now manually triggered with M
• New Feature: Server owners can now disable inertia globally. Every player will then have inertia as if they were wearing no armor or items in their inventory. It does technically not completely disable inertia, but dramatically reduces it.
• New Feature: NAT Punching can now be used. Requires the server host to configure it in the Fika server settings and download the NAT punching server. Documentation will be updated soon.
• Debug console commands are no longer enabled unless the project is built in DEBUG mode

New Contributors

• @ArchangelWTF made their first contribution in #48

Patch Notes

• Fixed minefields and sniper zones not causing damage to clients
• Major Change: Refactored Dynamic AI. It now completely disables the GameObject, which should result in much better performance for the host when active. This is also replicated to clients. From my testing this has not caused any problems with mods. The new Dynamic AI will also disable itself if Questing Bots is active as you should use the AI limiter from it instead.
• Disabled bots no longer send data, which should reduce a lot of bandwidth used
• Refactored bot spawning, should no longer interfere with any mods and random AI will no longer be invincible
• Improved callback for client packets as they don't need to use the NetPeer
• Refactored GetLocalAddresses() to no longer rely on Hostname, preventing exceptions when having illegal characters in the local computer's name
• Fix constructor exception on observed firearm controllers
• Added AZERTY support for freecam controls
• Refactored game initialization, should be slightly faster and more efficient
• Added new mod handler to improve compatibility down the line, currently only checks for Questing Bots
• Changed Dynamic AI min/max values
• Refactored all handlers to use more efficient constructors and fields
• Sending items should now remember the last choice when sending again
