Patch 0.4.2
Published changes and fixes for Spar Kart version 0.4.2.
Main Features
- Added Kirae Animations! These are a work in progress & the model for Kirae is a placeholder, so it looks a bit different. Let us know what you think!
- Kirae's music bomb back special now hits others if you explode it early.
- When players respawn, there is now an invisibility window of 3 seconds.
Adjustments
- Added clickable arrows to the sides of circular scroll elements, allowing clients to use the mouse for changing player colour and changing gamemode.
- Added an extra confirmation to quit the game, making sure users really want to quit.
- Overhauled initialisation and login management, which should hopefully fix some issues experienced when attempting to log in. This also allowed us to set up transitions when the client is disconnected from the internet. If the client is offline, there will be a button "Reconnect" in place of the "Online" text. Clicking this button will attempt to reconnect the player online if a connection is found.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug causing very long load times. This was caused by grass spawning at the start of the game. Now the grass is baked, and all info is pre-computed!
- Fixed many lobby bugs causing desyncs between games and more.
- Fixed looping sounds; they are working again.
- Fixed bug where clicking the "Resume" text with the mouse would not always return the client to in-game.
- Fixed bug where menu selection would not save when moving between the music player and main menu.
- Fixed bug where clients were unable to click the copy lobby code button in an online lobby.
- Fixed bug where selected character would not hide itself when you deselected the character in the lobby menu
- Fixed bug that caused the "Scoreboard" input (default was 'I') to not be able to be rebound to another input.
- Fixed a bug that caused the "Continue" button in the results menu to not function when clicking the mouse.
- Fixed XP results from being wrong sometimes.
- Fixed the distortion ring appearing if you hit a player who was charging drift.
Known Bugs
- Settings options sometimes display a lock icon even though they can be adjusted. This system is being reworked to be more expandable and robust, and will be fixed ASAP.
- There is a known bug with looping sounds not playing in online matches, this will be fixed soon.
