Late to the Party

    Quote from DanW

    I've hopefully fixed the bug you found in this pre-release: https://github.com/dwesterwick…releases/tag/1.3.1-alpha1. Can you please try it and let me know if it works?


    Unfortunately, I'll be very busy for the next week, so I'm not planning to post the new version until the following week. In the meantime, please let me know if you find any other issues.


    I tried it immediately and the error seems to be gone!

    I really appreciate it, thank you.


    We will contact you if we have any further questions.

    • Adding a configuration option to only destroy loot for a short time after you spawn, but the option is disabled by default. This is intended to be enabled if you're using Questing Bots and Looting Bots. By default, loot will only be destroyed and doors will only be opened/closed for the first 30s after you spawn when this is enabled. However, locked doors can still be opened because Questing Bots does not yet allow bots to unlock doors (as of the 0.3.2 release). The following systems can be

If the car extract has already been activated, it will be deactivated if you get too close to it so you don't get a free ride. After this happens, it won't be allowed to be activated again for a certain amount of time (120s by default).
    • Added car-extract departures to systems that can be disabled by only_make_changes_just_after_spawning
    • Changed default value of only_make_changes_just_after_spawning.affected_systems.opening_locked_doors to true because bots can now unlock doors in Questing Bots.

      • Switches will not be allowed to be turned on if you're within a certain distance from them (150m by default)
      • Just like the systems that open doors and despawn loot, switches that are "missed" when spawning in late as a Scav will be toggled immediately after you spawn. Audio will be disabled for these switches so it's less obvious what has changed on the map.
      • If a switch is only available to turn on after another one is turned on, that one will be toggled first. If this occurs after the initial switches have been turned on for Scav raids, the first switch won't be toggled until some time after the prerequisite switch is. The delay is proportional to the distance between the two switches.
      • When spawning in late as a Scav, initial switches must be toggled before initial doors are opened (which then allows initial loot to be despawned). This ensures doors that require power will be eligible to be opened (if the power switch is turned on).
    • Added the factor destroy_loot_during_raid.players_with_loot_factor_for_maps_without_pscavs (0.3 by default) to apply to fraction_of_players_full_of_loot for maps that do not allow player Scavs to spawn. This means that (by default) significantly less loot will be despawned throughout Labs raids.
    • Reduced only_make_changes_just_after_spawning.time_limit from 30 to 5 seconds because it doesn't really need to be any longer than that.
