A new BETA update

To try the beta update go to game properties and this screen: that will download the update to try.. lots of improvements that might require feedback..

here's a full changelist

When a item is unique, once it exists in storage it won't be shown again in the creation menu

  • masts can dissapear

  • standing prop preview doesnt have accurate yaw

  • you can sometimes get a stale selection, so selections from the dack when the cursor is over the side

  • sails where hard to drag or select from the side

  • centerline props and masts will get mirrored on the sterns (stern sprits and rams)

  • added a number of new bows

  • added a number of new sterns

  • made sterns and bows more consistent in shape

  • you can have multiple sprits

  • dragging a mast to a new order will regenerate the rigging to match

  • the cursor would detect faces facing backwards, (on the opposite side of the hull

  • rails on superstructure/castles are mirrored (on symmetrical objects its mirrored)

  • gun emplacement and other superstucture items are mirrored symmetrically as default, but once placed can be moved individually or removed to create assymetry

  • improved the decking consistency

  • rails on castles are fully symmetrical

  • edit a little cursor switch over the centerline to indicate you can make another hull gizmo

  • improved rigger and floating item support generation to be more accurate and attractive.

So Let the NEXTFEST start and also let me know how these improvements feel!

Cheerio, Tomas
