Holiday Festivities

[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/460915f1b8a74aa2e0b1ae593ac8be5d443806c4.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/e5b2d504f670ffdec5d0b51e5f0aa7daaf473074.png[/img] Throughout the winter holidays each level is sporting some seasonal decorations, from gifts of weaponry under trees to NPC outfits. Cosmetic present boxes are also dropping for a limited time. Unlike past years where certain maps had a separate decorated version, PEI is using a new "redirector" feature that changes the map for the duration of the event. This allows saves to transfer, and for the map to be replayed in subsequent years. This is the free demo result. You can also download a complete website from archive.org.

Update Notes

Text Contrast Preferences

Settings for outlines vs shadows on text have been added to the Preferences.json file. They are split into text with colorful backdrops like the game world and map, and text with inconspicuous black/white backdrops. Values are "Default", "Outline" or "Shadow". This is the free demo result. You can also download a complete website from archive.org.

Halloween

Autumn leaves coat the ground, the smell of pumpkin spice lingers in the air, and literal green zombies are stampeding around breaking car physics, stacking on each others heads and eating solid objects... it must be Halloween!

Dango Map

Danaby2, creator of several wildly different maps such as the wild-west Canyon Arena, has now released his latest creation: Dango This map is set on a series of flying islands inspired by Japan, and intended to be played as a multiplayer deathmatch. It features a suite of insane new weapons like a fish launcher which fires backwards, and is definitely worth a visit in-game. This is the free demo result.

Version Numbering

Going forward version numbers will follow a 3.{year}.{update}.{patch} pattern. In the past updates were split between "major" and "minor", but this lead to huge skips in version numbers when releasing several maps in a row. Unturned had been following the previous scheme for slightly more than 5 years, so this style was experimented with for map versions and Unturned II prior to commiting to it.

France

Last week the France map team released a sizable patch with a variety of interesting balance changes e.g. new scrap item for Focus weaponry. For more details: Read Here This is the free demo result. You can also download a complete website from archive.org.

Curated Maps

If you're reading this from the in-game menu within a week or two of the update coming out then you can see that Rio is featured above! In order to reduce load times and keep the installation size reasonable, curated maps have typically been transitioned to the workshop after several months. This was problematic for a variety of reasons however, such as suddenly having to subscribe to the map in order to keep its assets, or for hosts needing to switch the server to the workshop version.With the recent improvements to the game's workshop integration (e.g. auto-detecting workshop dependencies, installing while in-game), my hope is that taking this featured article approach will improve all aspects of the curated maps system:This is the free demo result.
