Included character action and zombie animations in examples package. Increased max item drop height (again) from 512 m to 2048 to cover full level height. Replaced tutorial button gap with confirmation button. Monitor all server workshop files for updates instead of just the map. Seeds planted by non-players can grow by default. Fixed Aurora Skier helmet/glasses slight adjustments. Lime Tracksuit cap/fannypack slight adjustments. Pharaoh hat/necklace and Strawberry Waitress hair fixes. Incorrect level buildable object ID conflict warning. Misplaced bookshelf in St. Petersburg. AssetBundleName:AssetPath format not supported by newer dat parser. IOBS event hook inconsistency between singleplayer and dedicated server. Lack of warning for destructible objects with more than 8 sections. Copying transform in global space only applies position, not rotation. Buildable distance from hull not considering train cars. Various minor visual issues around PEI. Physics material discrepancies between some terrain materials accompanying boulders. Merged barriers around Volk Military Base to increase draw distance - also provides more cover.

Bulk disconnect message showing average for all clients rather than kicked clients. Startup stuck if saving curated map auto-sub without write permissions. 3.23.14.3 Patch NotesDec 28, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsChangelog Fixed Potential cause of crashes introduced in the update. Invalid level asset cached if missing when first loading into server. Material palette fields visible in objects editor before selecting anything. Eagle truck missing rear collider. Dragon Serpent skin metallic maps. 3.23.14.2 Patch NotesDec 23, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsChangelog Fixed Asset hash mismatch with certain OS languages e.g., Turkish.

Joining using the new Server Code or Fake IP features bypasses the need for port forwarding: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/343c52bef5a325dc03a4bf450b416f84ddbaee28.png Server Codes are enabled by default, whereas Fake IP is opt-in. For more information, please refer to this documentation: Server Codes Documentation Fake IP Documentation Raiding Meta Freeform buildables were among the most popular ways to gain altitude over bases with a claim flag. With their recent adjustments, it seems fitting to make explosive jumping a more viable alternative with two new items: Bounce Grenades and Impact-Absorbing Boots {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/fe60dc513e05333e1901beb5ca8dff120835a9a1.png Impact-Absorbing Boots cushion against long falls by absorbing impact into the springs, preventing broken legs and most fall damage. They can be crafted from Cargo Pants, Wire, and Metal Cans. Bounce Grenades are interchangeable with Bounce Charges stats-wise but do not require a Detonator. C4 is no longer a requirement for either explosive! Precision Charges now deal twice as much raiding damage, metal freeform buildables are weak to all weapons, and freeform buildables are enabled by default again. It ought to be interesting to see how this plays out! New Outfits Six new outfits have been accepted from the Curated Workshop into the Stockpile: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/d9c04df638c75e6e7095f930e0998acbe1439308.png Aurora Skier Bundle by August Balanced Breakfast Bundle by Toothy Deerryte Chicken Suit Bundle by FlodotelitoKifo Infernal Demon Bundle by Timo987 Mushroom Bundle by Dizzpie Strawberry Waitress Bundle by Animatic and NSTM Changelog Added Ability to connect by "Server Code" without port forwarding. Support for Steam's "Fake IP" feature. Aurora Skier, Balanced Breakfast, Chicken Suit, Infernal Demon, Mushroom, and Strawberry Waitres bundles from the Curated Workshop. Bounce Grenade Impact-Absorbing Boots Default_Battery option for vehicles. Falling_Damage_Multiplier and Prevents_Falling_Broken_Bones clothing item options. Changed Crafting Bounce Charges no longer requires C4, only Wire and Explosives. Doubled Precision Charge damage against barricades and structures. Reverted Allow_Freeform_Buildables default to true and separated into Allow_Freeform_Buildables_On_Vehicles. Metal freeform buildables are vulnerable to all weapons now. Fuel canister/tank and generator item descriptions show capacity and burn rate information. Item stats in the same paragraph sort positive before neutral before negative. Revised default server list preset naming for clarity. Server list is not refreshed when returning from server info screen. Refresh server list when Enter is pressed in server name or map name fields. Fixed Missing "offline" text in singleplayer loading screen and pause menu. Singleplayer config defaults not applying in tutorial. Hitch for some players when starting and stoppin...3.23.13.0 Update NotesNov 24, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsServer Browser Upgrade The server browser has been overhauled with custom filter presets, icons and tooltips for every element, optional columns, map icons, and more! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/1f3e734b9481ef341dda0aa0651e6e3fce887989.png Changelog Added New and improved server browser menus. Allow_Freeform_Buildables option to gameplay config. Priority_Over_Cosmetic option for clothing items. Override default NVG behavior. Nightvision_Allowed_In_ThirdPerson option for NVGs. True for vanilla NVGs. Date_Counter NPC condition for events that happen after a certain number of in-game days. Food, water, and virus equivalents of health NPC reward type. Event when admin uses freecam. Removed "Matchmaking" menu. Changed Increased nighttime brightness on all vanilla maps. Detonators and Raw Explosives are available (rarely) in care packages. 1911, Maschinengewehr, Luger, and Determinator have been moved from care packages to militia spawns. Placeable vehicles default to locked, if supported. Editor levels list tooltip indicates whether file is from workshop or local copy. Reduced main menu news feed header and title font sizes. Fixed France Crusader shirt and pants metallic map corrupted. Players able to queue exiting the same group multiple times. Lavaflow shader alpha behaving differently after engine update. NPCs able to sell locked vehicles that ordinarily can't be locked. Item prefab override missing in character menu after state update. Inconsistency in how item condition amount was counted in UI. Adjust capitalization of server's input map name after loading. RegionList constructor allocation performance cost. Server with -SkipAssets kicking players for missing assets. Map Updates Renaxon has updated Arid several times recently with lots of new items, vehicles, and content: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/09f445930900108959cabb952c1067b8659a9e42.png Arid Changelog Animatic has completely remade the Kuwait city of Miral in a recent update: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/3fffe94cdc91b0d30c9cd476bd34c76ee0d49588.png Kuwait Changelog3.23.12.3 Patch NotesOct 25, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsChangelog Changed Include code documentation xml alongside dlls for plugin devs. Spawns editor tooltips show ID and asset origin.

More stats and tuning will surely follow feedback after the update. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/ae193d34e24928879b6c0ff176315d101f889d94.png Multi-line Text Chat Text chat messages can finally span multiple lines. Previously, the length was enforced by a 127 byte limit, severely restricting languages with multi-byte characters. This limit is now 512 bytes for player messages and 2048 for plugins. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/7c67b007af7cc010a6245a0bc596b4e97c95b296.png News Feed Before on the left, after on the right. The old news feed was created separately from the rest of the game's menus, so it didn't match the UI scale or your custom theming. All of the UI is finally unified under one roof! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/f7d9e602d2bcd87b9612553be967daa907f81453.png New Outfits With Halloween on the horizon, six new outfits have been accepted from the Curated Workshop into the Stockpile: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/86893c9356cd2ff82d9de55372c898f9c5124f46.png Autumn Comforts Bundle by Basil Cat and NSTM Beekeeper Bundle by biedaktokox Executioner Bundle by WalnuT_Orion and sympathizer Goth Bundle by FlodotelitoKifo and Emizip Untombed Pharaoh Bundle by SirAdy and Animatic Wandering Wizard Bundle by Timo987 Behind the Scenes Item descriptions, multi-line text chat, and the main menu news feed all have one thing in common: Their size depends on the amount of content. It may seem silly, but Unturned could not automatically adjust the UI layout according to content size until this update. If you're interested in more details, please check out this documentation link: Glazier support for IMGUI, uGUI, and UI Toolkit A button to mute text chat per player has been added to the player list in further response to concerns raised about multiplayer toxicity earlier this year. Additionally, voice and text blocks are now saved between sessions to your Steam Cloud. Spawn tables should be much nicer to work with. Their asset files can use the newer list format, eliminating the tedious index-based keys. They fully support GUIDs to reduce conflicts (even if the target type, like items, doesn't support GUIDs yet). Failed spawns provide additional context in what triggered them. Before this update, your NPC dialogue choices were sent to the server for NPC logic, but the UI relied on locally predicting the following message and response. Over the years, this caused a few issues, like broken interactions if the server rejected your choice or relied on a randomized value (e.g., dialogue-driven spawns in custom modes). Dialogue has been rewritten so that the server has complete control over the flow of events, fixing these problems and introducing new possibilities. Unturned has gradually gotten better at enforcing file integrity in multiplayer, preventing a variety of easy cheats related to modifying assets. A more complicated case involved replacing ...3.23.11.1 Patch NotesJul 28, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsMy apologies to everyone inadvertently killed by the change in the 3.23.11.0 update! The problem was that some of the volumes in the boulders were spheres and capsules which can't be non-uniformly scaled. Unfortunately this didn't come up in testing because on vanilla maps the boulders were always uniformly scaled, whereas on many custom maps boulders are scaled on a single axis to better fit a surface or for visual variety. (which is perfectly reasonable, my bad for not thinking about this side effect) Fixed Reverted addition of kill volumes inside some vanilla boulders. 3.23.11.0 Update NotesJul 28, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsChanged Show message when trying to join WAN address without Internet available. Placed kill volumes inside some vanilla boulders. Raised SNS timeout from 10s to 30s to potentially help servers experiencing spikes of traffic. Fixed Potential fix to zombie path not released error. Changed Scalar magazine rarity from Epic to Rare. Disabled workshop file setting ignored if response is received after initial startup. Prevent using style and align tags in server listing description. Converting UTC time in dat files to local time. Asset validation for non-readable object navmesh not checking child components. Asset validation log for quest condition resetting None status. 3.23.10.1 Patch NotesJul 13, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsChangelog Added Command-line "-LogBadMessages" option to help check for invalid network messages. Fixed Moved scythe cosmetic animation further back from character. Potential cause of workshop mods not loading on startup sometimes. Live config problem with byte order mark. 3.23.10.0 Update Notes - BuakJul 7, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/0e5c456b4bbbb0532f984cc39055225b8b936976.png A large island of small mountain towns, secrets, and spooks. The Turned are tough and certain animals don't like it when you get too close. A mix of Russia, PEI, and Arid, but with its own unique twist on many aspects of gameplay. The island contains multiple forest biomes, no military presence, and rare to find guns and supplies. Buak is heavily aimed towards singleplayer, co-op, and PVE playstyles and contains over 2,000 items to discover and use. Some of these are items that redefine the conventional vanilla systems of building with extra room to decorate, and much more. There’s a blueprint system, learn item recipes permanently to be able to craft them in the future! Buak takes inspiration from Unturned Classic (2.0), the many scrapped ideas and designs of 3.0, as well as the concepts of Unturned II (4.0). A lot of conventional things in Vanilla Unturned may have been abandoned on Buak, from freeform buildables to building on vehicles; You'll have to seek out the alternatives provided. All items, animals, resources, and objects are also entirely custom and may not work as intended when mixed with other mods/maps. Some suggestions for gameplay: The map is best played without any other mods and in Normal mode or above, as Easy mode removes many mechanics. Watch the Buak Trailer Here Note: Buak is significantly more dense with detail than prior curated maps. Instead of compromising on this detail level, the Level Batching Update earlier this year was originally developed to help optimize Buak. That being said, lowering the max draw distance and landmarks when playing Buak will raise the performance quite a bit because the game can then cull more details. To host a server running the map add its workshop file ID (3000549606) to the File_IDs list in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json, and set the map to "Buak" (without quotes) in Commands.dat. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/713226c44677fb47a5ff70602b7a408accd56088.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/a45a0825042b332cabdd1d8f0013e4ff87d36e05.png For the first time rather than playtime drops, you can craft a random new limited item from Menu > Survivors > Inventory > Crafting. The items are permanent, but the ability to craft them will only be available for two weeks during the release event. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/8847d2715d770aede98943c1c99d02444ba715b0.png This project was created by Toothy Deerryte, staswalle, Paulfest, and Witness Protection.

Removed bone influences setting, default is now four. Fixed Shoulder and elbow bone blend weights. Typo in Feather Hoodie description. Grenade assuming box collider is present. Airplane propeller partial transparency while not driven. Shirt/pants metallic texture Smoothness missing from combined clothing shader. Several item rarity colors in crafting list. Different behavior of GC cleanup and unloading unused assets after loading rewrite. Potentially fixed using numpad enter in text fields.

Docs link in workshop menu not pointing at new docs site. Festive Toque overly aggressive culling distance. Exception if gun properties were specified for non-gun NPC item reward. Incorrect write permission denied error for workshop submission on Mac and Linux. Inconsistent labeling in Options menu. Near-zero and near-one bone blend weights on a few vertices of character model. 3.23.7.0 Update NotesMay 26, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsChangelog Added New animated hitmarkers and option to use non-animated style. Accurate range markers on vanilla scopes. Craftable Progress Pride flag jersey and pin available during Pride Month event. Transparency option for crosshair, hitmarker, and critical hitmarker colors. Accepted Artist, Hooligan, and Lime Tracksuit bundles into Stockpile. Multi-threaded asset loading with additional information on the loading screen. SpotLight_Enabled option for melee, tactical, and headlamp items. Allow_Lobby_Groups server config option. Changed Windows dedicated server intercepts quit handler to save+shutdown when closed. Replaced Ballistic_Drop gun property with Bullet_Gravity_Multiplier. Removed Recoil_Aim gun property. Searching crafting list by name can show results without any available items. Redact certain hate speech regardless of profanity filter setting. Stop inspect and equip audio clips when the item is dequipped. Removed peripheral integrations. (e.g. long-disabled Discord integration and RGB keyboard integration) Replaced 2D cosmetic icons with 3D preview icons. Your own bullet impact audio is slightly audible regardless of distance to provide more hit feedback. Fixed Track kills on weapons with Shared_Skin_Lookup_ID. Phantox Timberwolf albedo and emission textures flipped. Prevent resetting gun's fire delay by clicking again. Enable HUD during red flinch overlay similar to flashbangs. Miscolored roll bar on colored offroaders. Sentry gun spread/misses not properly using aim direction. Clamp terrain cut brush radius to work around an engine crash. Terrain material brush pixel average mode not working. NPC passive pose resetting when unloaded. Items in nearby inventory incorrectly removed when a non-visible item is removed. Using lobby to bypass group member limit. Potential exploit to load assemblies from assets. Sync pending visibility changes when baking navmesh. Arrow tracers getting immediately destroyed. Ignore asset paths less than 2 characters as a workaround for material palette assets missing closing list bracket. Not applying framerate and vsync limits at startup. Fail loading of animal assets missing required game objects. Scope Distance Markers This doesn't make sniping easier, rather it raises the skill ceiling by giving distance estimation more use and removing scoped recoil reduction. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/24239272f622cd7f2b5f07b314f014aa01391cf5.png Before this update the markings on scopes were arbitrary whereas now they are adjusted to account for your field of view, the gun's muzzle velocity, the level's gravity, and your unit system preference. Modders can update custom scopes to use these new features, for more details: Sight Distance Marker Documentation Asset Loading The real meat and potatoes of this update: startup loading should now be faster for most players. On average it's about twice as fast. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/da7bd3db38f54653fbce0c116974e6aa205031f8.png Previously all of the asset loading was don...3.23.6.0 Update NotesApr 14, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsChangelog Changed Rewrote .dat/.asset parsing and made distinction between "v1" and "v2" assets irrelevant. Removed April Fools' terrain materials because they were widely reported as annoying. Temporarily ban players kicked by BattlEye for 60 seconds. Fixed Potential workaround for reaching audio channel limit while loading. Infinite loop if animated NPC dialogue was missing a closing angle bracket. Blowtorch LOD1 incorrect UVs. Respawn button disabled label out of sync. Outdoors skill description missing increased drops. Shared_Skin_Lookup_ID not working with ragdoll effect or kill counter. Asset Parsing Rewrite Previously there were separate code paths and file formats for older and newer assets. This has been rewritten into a unified code path and unified file format. It doesn't sound particularly exciting, but there will be a variety of future benefits, and in the meantime: Modding is a bit easier without the separation between "v1" and "v2" assets, and now with better error messages. Parsing asset files is a bit faster. Rather than copying the entire file in memory multiple times it is parsed+hashed as it is read. Cleaned up significant "technical debt". All of the new code is unit-tested to help avoid accidental bugs. View Merged v1/v2 Asset Documentation View Data File Format Documentation New Modding Documentation Site Molt has recently finished upgrading all of the documentation for a dedicated Unturned docs website. It is still a work-in-progress, but already has a much better UX / UI, built-in search functionality, offline downloads, and the option to switch between release (stable) and preview (latest) documentation. The new docs are written in reStructuredText, built with Sphinx, and hosted by Read the Docs.

Released 2023-05-04.(2023 April Fools' Event) Antarctica Update NotesApr 1, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsEdit on April 2nd: although this map is real and playable, it was created as an April Fools' joke by Renaxon, danaby2, Animatic, clue, and Timo987 in only 4 days! All the thanks goes to them for this fun event. Who knows, perhaps the feedback from this project will be useful for an actual curated map in the future? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/648f231ab5991457b6e4a1ae40709447490cfb78.png Antarctica- the newest map by Renaxon, danaby2, Animatic, clue and Timo987, has released. ... The final frontier in terms of tough, legitimately survival based mechanics is ready to be explored and conquered. Featuring every single item in the game, every single crafting recipe, and all the hardcore classic methods of survival you've come to love. A seriously harsh, desolate, and uncharacteristically detailed landmass, Antarctica is an Insane sized map- 4x bigger than the Russia map, and 16x bigger than the Yukon. Included in Antarctica, is the most detailed depiction of wilderness Unturned has ever seen. You'll want to watch your back for packs of this fierce land's defenders. Also included, is a revised radiation and immunity system. Due to a severely changed world, the air on Antarctica is toxic. Maybe a smarter survivor out there could help find a cure... Now, stop reading, and get going. It can't explore itself. Watch the Antarctica Trailer Here To host a server running the map add its workshop file ID (2954631626) to the File_IDs list in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json, and set the map to "Antarctica" (without quotes) in Commands.dat.3.23.5.0 Update NotesMar 31, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsChangelog: Added Compare workshop file timestamps when joining server instead of asset bundle hashes. LogMemoryUsage command for server owners to get a high-level view of what exists on the server. Fixed Tracked quest title in HUD too short for some non-English characters. Pegasus Empire skin incorrect attachment color. 3.23.4.0 Update NotesMar 24, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsChangelog: Added Gameplay config for third-person recoil and spread multipliers. Changed Holding primary/secondary input will start item action as soon as possible. Allow bulk-reassigning material index/palette in editor. Fixed Ambient audio never playing if audio channel limit was reached during load. Exception when loading culling volumes on dedicated server. Garbage generated on server when filtering relevant connections for RPCs. Placeholder partial fix for spamming shoot inputs, however rate of fire is still lower than full auto. Item drops falling through narrow gaps when using raycast rather than spherecast. Vertical alignment of Masterkey when aiming. Remove warning for objects with legacy ID now that it is unused. Valentines quest condition was applied to wrong secret admirer note dialogue. Miscellaneous Washington visual fixes. Missing distance check for barricade/structure salvage. Zombie detection radius while prone was too low for the newer collision. Third-Person Recoil and Spread Configurable: When the third-person recoil and spread debuffs were added there was a lot of debate about making them configurable versus keeping the game experience more consistent between servers. The configurability argument is that the game should be as moddable as possible to encourage creativity and enable players to do whatever they find most fun, whereas the consistency argument is that it is confusing and disorienting to run into wildly different movement, gunplay, difficulty, etc. on every server. 2x recoil and spread in third-person is the intended vanilla experience. By requiring it for a while it became the consistent baseline, preventing reactionary servers from immediately disabling the change. (Unlike the movement changes which many servers immediately reverted.) Now that it has been the default, servers can choose to customize and raise and lower the multipliers as they see fit. Was this a good approach? We will see where it might make sense with future gameplay changes.3.23.3.0 Update NotesMar 3, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsChangelog: Added Arid Scout and Tourist cosmetic bundles. Always_Spawn_Full option for fuel items. Affected_By_Agriculture_Skill option for farmable items. Changed Teleporting causes a complete culling volume update immediately rather than time-slicing. Limit max horde beacon item drops to 256. Previously a misconfigured drops multiplier could overwhelm the game. Prevent using single quote ' and double quote " when stricter built-in name filter is enabled. Support NPC hint reward in multiplayer. Fixed Discard loaded barricades if type has changed to avoid savedata compatibility problems. Exclude uninitialized objects from level save, for example volume components inside Unity prefabs. Rubble hit collider can be any depth, not just direct children. Exception/kick when walking into a just-destroyed vehicle. Barricades on surface of vehicle not working with child explosion armor multiplier. Flickering textures on atlassed meshes with original UVs exactly at 0.0 or 1.0. Patch #1: Fixed Slightly increased texture atlas UV padding for larger textures. Arid Update: The developers of Arid have added two new locations, new items, vehicles, quests, and improvements to the progression, balance, performance, and more! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/26fdeaa8eaa99b286343107098d0464608ad63f3.png To host a server running the map add its workshop file ID (2683620106) to the File_IDs list in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json, and set the map to Arid in Commands.dat.

"Manual Object Culling" volume type which replaces/improves old per-object-asset LOD area settings. Instantiated_Item_Name_Override and Instantiated_Attachment_Name_Override options to simplify workarounds for animation component. Exclude_From_Culling_Volumes option for objects. Exclude_From_Level_Batching option for objects and trees. "-DisableCullingVolumes" command-line flag. Not recommended. "-UseLevelBatching=true/false" command-line option. Valentine's day holiday condition for secret admirer note quest on Liberator. Per-location option to hide from map UI. Changed Improved and re-enabled batching of level objects and trees. Assets with duplicate guid are now skipped during registration rather than assigning a new guid. Use same collision height (2 meters) for all zombie types. Slightly increase zombie vertical attack range by 0.1 meter. Slide while standing on zombie's/animal's head. Allow masks to work as underwater breathing apparatus with backpack. Semi-auto repairing melee items play an impact sound. Terrain tool weight target option can be used with auto foundation option. Fixed Stereo not *playing* the tracks not installed on the server, rendering the change in the previous update pointless. Teleport animals that fall out of the map to a valid spawnpoint. Pooled effects getting prematurely destroyed. Transparent pixels in supersampled screenshots. Some inconsistent skin/cosmetic emissive intensity values. Animal collider not getting disabled on server. Misaligned UVs on player/zombie ragdoll neck. Extremely small network positions off by one. Some inconsistencies when enabling/disabling crosshair. Interior culling size of several objects. Loading screen not appearing between clicking exit and reaching the main menu. Legacy airdrop/location node conversion not assigning instance ID. Patch #1: Fixed Holiday object collision not disabled on server. Batching performance improvements: This update should bring a noticeable performance increase on vanilla maps, and curated/modded maps too if/when the map creators opt-in. There was a similar update several years ago, but it had to be disabled because it used too much memory (RAM) for some players - actually reducing performance and/or crashing. According to the Steam hardware survey ~96% of players have 8+ GB of RAM now, so with some useful improvements it has been re-enabled. As a precaution it can be disabled by default on the backend if the update goes poorly, and you can disable it with this command-line option if necessary: -UseLevelBatching=false For more information there are two new articles intended for map developers: Level Batching Manual Object Culling {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/e2d9bf8f6a7de27ac4a910459d60602498c97123.jpg
