Duck Game 1.5 is OUT!

[CORPTRON]

Check it out ! https://steamcommunity.com/games/312530/announcements/detail/2945878952270072890

Thank you everyone, your love and support has made this all possible. I'll be around the forums constantly over the next couple of weeks so if there are any issues please let me know and I'll work with you to get them sorted out as soon as possible!


February 4th 2021 Patch (6190465)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-New Muting/Blocking system. To use, open the pause menu in a multiplayer game, move up to the name you're having trouble with and press GRAB. You can mute chat, hat, room and name seperately and blocking a user will automatically mute all. Additionally the blocked user will be kicked from your game if you are the host. Matchmaking will not join players you have blocked and they will be unable to join games that you host.
-Fixed crash related to SteamUtils() returning null (the game will now run for the few experiencing this issue, but chat filtering will not function)
-Removed chat filter toggle from options menu, as it was redundant with Steam's settings. To disable chat filtering go into Steam and click 'View -> Settings -> In-Game' and click 'Change Chat Filtering Preferences'
-Fixed issue with XML loader where loading a blank file would cause a crash
-Made a number of changes related to the PS4 porting process (rewrote shaders, optimizations and preprocessor changes). This should have no visible effect if everything was done correctly.
-Duck Game is now being built in Visual Studio 2017 instead of Visual Studio 2015 due to PS4/Mono build requirements
-Significant level rendering performance optimizations (AutoBlock/Level tile batches are now cached, need to keep an eye out for layering issues and other oddities)
-General performance optimization (Level.things._bigList and Layer updates no longer constantly call RemoveWhere)
-Disabled mods now appear at the end of the mod selection list, instead of at the beginning.
-Retextures and map packs are now loaded before anything else, which should fix retextures not being applied to ducks
-Fixed a number of issues related to using higher definition textures in texture packs
-HD texture packs no longer need to set the isHD variable, larger resolution images will automatically load in properly
-New system for re-texturing parallax backgrounds, see background/office.txt in DG's content files
-Fixed bug where spectator's fans where showing up in the crowd
-Fixed bug with full moon check not taking timezones into account
-Fixed glitch when holding F1 with chat open (F keys no longer repeat when held down)
-Fixed bug where taping a taped sword to another sword would eat the sword (taped swords should not be able to be taped to other swords)
-Characters missing from room fonts will now fall back to the default font
-Fixed issue with Energy Scimitar where it would get stuck glowing in props
-Fixed bug with storing gold rocks in purple box where the stored rock would not be gold for clients
-Fixed issue where input 'down' actions weren't behaving correctly with inputs mapped to mouse buttons (you can now properly throw the energy scimitar with throw bound to the mouse)
-Killing ducks floating in the lobby beam is no longer possible.
-Fixed Musket/Blunderbuss collision boxes

-Fixed a number of issues related to Touch function being called when it shouldn't have. This should fix dart->spike/saw interaction and a number of odd spike/saw collision issues
-Fixed issue with zeros hat not working in lobby
-Fixed a few issues where maps would be saved with mod dependencies even though no modded objects where present in the level
-Fixed a number of metapixel issues, namely with anchoring and direction changing
-Multiple lines of metapixels are now supported (up to 4)
-Added some new metapixels:
[Metapixel(3, "Hat No-Flip", "If this metapixel exists, the hat will not be flipped with the direction of the duck.")]

[Metapixel(60, "Quack Delay", "Amount of time in between pressing the quack button and the quack frame appearing.")]
public MDFloat QuackDelay = new MDFloat() { range = 2.0f, value = 0.0f };

[Metapixel(61, "Quack Hold", "Minimum amount of time to keep the quack frame held, even if the quack button is released.")]
public MDFloat QuackHold = new MDFloat() { range = 2.0f, value = 0.0f };

[Metapixel(62, "Quack Suppress Requack", "If this metapixel exists, a new quack will not be allowed to begin until Quack Delay and Quack Hold are finished.")]



December 13 Patch (5962033)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

December 11 Patch (5958123)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-Fixed item crates not spawning items properly online
-Fixed issue where non server controlled held crates where invincible (ho boy)
-Fixed a number of issues with cooked ducks

-Mojis are now opt-in, they are disabled by default and can be enabled at your discression through the USABILITY menu
-Fixed bug where other players' custom mojis where being saved without explicitly typing them
-Fixed bug where oversized mojis could be injected into net messages.
-Moji stealing system has changed, you must type "/steal" followed by :mojiname: if you wish to take an emoji for your own use.
-Custom hats can now be set to friends only or off (they are on by default). Hats from installed mods can not be filtered, so if you join a lobby and download its mods you will still see any mod related hats.
-Fixed issue with demo crate not blowing up correctly, and having a delay before exploding when shot by clients
-Doors are now made of wood
-Fixed issue with ragdoll not lighting on fire immediately after a flaming duck goes ragdoll
-Fixed issue with trapped ducks taking too long to become untrapped when playing online
-Level initialization object order is now maintained over the network, which should fix instant unragdolling and any other object order related issues.

-Temporarily removed custom moji support while I work on a better system.
-Fixed issue with uploading workshop tags
-Fixed a number of issues with browsing into mod folders via level editor file browser
-Client mods may now send net messages to their hearts content without using FixedNetworkID, as clients who do not have the mod will recognize it as an unknown client message and ignore it safely.
-You can now create and upload map packs to the workshop. To create a map pack, simply add a folder to Documents/DuckGame/Mods called 'Mappacks', then add a folder with the name of your map pack. Move any levels you want in the pack into the folder and the game will do the rest. You can upload your map pack to the workshop via the title screen Mods menu. For example, to create a map pack called 'saltymaps', create a folder with the path 'Documents/DuckGame/Mods/Mappacks/saltymaps' and fill it with levels.
-Fixed issue where disarming a chestplated bazooka loading duck with a magnet gun would cause them to get stuck
-Fixed a few bugs which caused fire to fall from the sky
-Fixed issue with pyramid fluids spilling everywhere
-Fixed issue with ragdolls not dying when falling off the bottom of very large maps
-Fixed issue where when lighting on fire as a ragdoll, then standing up and putting yourself out in water, your ragdoll would still be on fire...
-A number of issues where flaming camping balls wouldn't light ducks on fire- have been Fixed.
-Reimplemented duck cooking to work the same online and offline (_cookedInstance is no longer a thing, which means a duck can cook into a chicken multiple times if it ressurects)
-Music overriding is now supported with content reskins (to make a reskin, add a 'Reskins' folder to the 'Mods' folder in your savegame then add a folder for your reskin.
In that folder, mimic the DuckGame/Content directory for any assets you wish to replace. For example, if you want to replace the Crate sprite then just add MyReskin/Content/crate.png)
-Fixed some sync issues with taped guns
-Magnet gun now attracts taped guns properly
-Fixed some sync issues with bayonets
-Fixed some sync issues with wiremounts

-Improved taped object collision
-You can now properly tape swords together
-Swords taped to guns now function as bayonets
-Added hash check for NetMessages and network synchronized Things to prevent incompatible games from connecting to each other.
If you're running into the game incompatible message, your client mod needs to be using FixedNetworkID for all its net messages
and must not implement any Thing objects that have StateBindings. A new net message system for client mods is coming soon.
-Fixed a number of string marshalling errors with workshop upload
-Fixed issues with ducks randomly teleporting when being trapped in a net online
-Fixed clipping issue with level rockwall borders and pyramid wall borders.
-Fixed a number of Vincent issues, hopefully helped shy vincent and reduced his preference for round tables
-Fixed issue where spectators where dumping into closed slots when open slots where available

-Improved -defaultcontrols functionality (now reverts configured keyboard indexes aswell)

-Holstering live grenades is no longer possible, it's way too hard to cook grenades while wearing a holster when it's possible (sorry..)
-Fixed issue with Captains hat no longer having a cape
-Fixed issue where music would pile up on itself if two songs where played in quick succession
-F5 for custom hat refresh now only works offline, and in lobby. Sorry for any inconvenience, this is a debug feature.

-Fixed issue where first 3 pixels of cape would not render
-Fixed issue with cape alpha metapixels not working
-Additional local ducks when playing online can now select profiles and edit their rooms
-Ragdoll/Trapped Duck/Cooked Duck instances are now sent with main level payload, this should reduce unseen duck syndrome

-Really fixed issue with keyboard "cancel" button closing port/name boxes when entering ports/names
-Fixed issue where joining a passworded game with uninstalled mods from the server browser would not prompt for a password, and then
kick you out for having the wrong password once the game restarts and joins
-Fixed a number of issues with joining lobbies that have unsubscribed mods enabled
-Windows in lobby now break if impacted by ducks coming from inside the beam
-Fixed a few issues with respawning in lobby
-A number of changes to the connection system to help prevent bad syncs
-The game now attempts to connect you to all clients before letting you join a game, this should prevent two people whose computers cannot connect
to each other from joining a game- which was leading to permenantly invisible ducks
-Made a change to object sync that should reduce instances of floating guns.
-The game must be joined via the first player's controller/keyboard inputs in order to play online now. Joining with any other input device will say "Player 2", "Player 3" etc.
-Modified the existing 8P duck colors to be more colorblind friendly, while also being generally easier to distinguish
-Added default color selection for ducks, your favourite duck color can now be set while editing your profile. When you join a game, if your color is not already taken it will be assigned to you.
-You can now change duck color in the hat selector by pressing Ragdoll, which will toggle through any colors not currently used by other ducks
-Players with Keyboard 1 bound to anything but Player 1 will have their Keyboard 1 player index reverted back to P1, and their default duck color will change to whatever duck color number they had
Keyboard 1 bound to. Sorry for the inconvenience this causes to anyone who had keyboard P1 bound for other players- you will have to go back into the control config menu and set the player index again.\

This will only work for functions with the [NetworkAction] attribute, and it will only work if isServerForObject == true

November 22 Patch
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-Fixed issue with November 21 patch that caused cloud data to read, but not write. This was causing save data to revert to the point it was at

-New matchmaker window with completely rewritten code. Also added "Ping" setting which has the following modes:
PREFER GOOD (Default): The matchmaker will spend a bit of time looking for nearby games with better ping (around a minute). If it fails to find a game, it will switch to global matchmaking (lower pings)
GOOD PING: The matchmaker will only search for closer games with better pings
ANY PING: The matchmaker will search once for nearby games, if none are found it will quickly give up and switch to a global search (lower pings)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
-Fixed basic dedicated server support. To use, enter the beam and press Play Online, then in the CREATE GAME menu go to SETTINGS and set Dedicated to ON.

Wow, this is exciting! Unfortunately the game is back to crashing on Linux for me. I also tried the deep_underground beta and it's the same crash, I'm guessing because the beta is now no further than the release channel. I used the launch options

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput=n" %command% -nothreading -linux

and also tried various subsets of those options to no avail.

I'm happy to try other solutions at your request; I'd love to get the new update running with my roommates! The latest crash log:

Oh good, what distro are you on? I'm on NixOS so I thought it might be a distro-related quirk but hopefully it's reproducible on Ubuntu or whatever the dev can test with

Good afternoon, this is to inform you that the hats are not working, neither the vanilla nor the mods

Hey vmaxx, could you clarify what you mean by the hats not working?

Looking into the Linux issue, do you know of a way I could quickly test running on linux through my windows computer? I unfortunately don't have a linux install on any of my PCs.

[Lhindir]

I uninstalled and reinstalled the game and now it immediately crashes with nothing in the Proton logs and no Duck Game exception :(

edit:

protontricks 312530 dotnet40 dinput

fixed this, after restarting I'm back to the error mentioned above

Well quickly is going to depend on your Linux experience but you might try installing VirtualBox and setting up an Ubuntu VM. There should be tons of guides out there; this one[www.makeuseof.com] looks recent and pretty concise. Follow that guide and give the VM enough resources to run Duck Game (shouldn't need a ton to just check if it launches). Then install Steam from the Ubuntu Software Center, in Steam's settings go to the Steam Play options and enable it as a fallback for all titles instead of just whitelisted ones, and try launching the game.

How did you tinker with it to get it working in the recent updates with -linux without a Linux install? Seems difficult haha

Don't think do i use Arch (I use Arch btw)

Hey superjoe, the game is coming up as a virus from zonealarm since update.

[SherryCoco♪♫]

Yeah, same for me Kapersky detected a virus in DuckGame.exe.

Actually just uploaded a new version, it seems like the code for launching the crash window when the game detects that you're missing DLLs followed a pattern that was causing false positives in some AV software. Let me know if your anti-virus software is still detecting it!

[Java_SE_Binary]

Great to see everything made it to final release!

Overall, things seem to be fairly stable, except for objects that like to send a lot of NetMessages, the game seems to get hung up on these for quite some time between levels. PlaySynchronized seems to be fairly iffy on who it plays for.

Otherwise, everything is working great! Congrats on making it to the final release of this update!

Actually just uploaded a new version, it seems like the code for launching the crash window when the game detects that you're missing DLLs followed a pattern that was causing false positives in some AV software. Let me know if your anti-virus software is still detecting it!

Still blocked for me.

Hi!
Wow, update! Thanks!

Bad news:
duck game executable deleted by Kaspersky Internet Security, identified as:
UDS:DangerousObject.Multi.Generic

Yes if you guys can't start the game it is probably due to antivirus blocking 'exe' for having a virus.
