Server Updates

[OldBloke]

Servers updated to v273.7

v273.7
- Fixed INI Supply Crate Overrides working again. Also improved the system for this: Now with SupplyCrateClassString you can override a group of supply crates by including only PART of the name (rather than the full name), and any supply crates which contain that string in part of their name will be overriden. Such as overriding "SupplyCrate" will override ALL supply crates. Furthermore, you can now set bAppendItemSets=true to ADD item sets to supply crates, rather than totally overriding all their items. And you can set bAppendPreventIncreasingMinMaxItemSets=true to dynamically increase the amount of items dropped by however many additional itemsets you add ( only applies when bAppendItemSets=true ).
- Fixed an issue where pain volumes could cause infinite forces on ragdolls and lead to serious PhysX issues (overly expensive collision, lack of collision, etc). Requires server update, recommended update!.

v273.692
- Fixed downloading Dinos beyond a Tribe or Player's personal Tame Limit, and fixed an issue where you couldn't download Dinos on PvE servers.

Servers updated to v273.74

- Implemented Turret Counter on HUD in preparation for Turret Count Limiting (clamping how many Turrets can be built in an area on servers, to dramatically improve server performance). You can enable the Turret Counter HUD on your own Unofficial by changing this config property (just a HUD indicator for now, later this property will actually hard-limit the number of Turrets):

Game.ini
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
bLimitTurretsInRange=true

Servers updated again ...

v273.75
- Fixed an issue with placing structures in Structures+ and other Mods. Requires Server Updated.

[OldBloke]

Servers updated to v273.8

- Fixed a key performance issue with PhysX. Recommended Server Update!

[OldBloke]

Servers updated to v274.0

- Added "Heavy Turret", which packs approximately 4 times the power of a regular Turret and has faster tracking, but uses 4 Ammo per shot.

On Official Servers, in preparation for ultimately limiting all Turrets to 100 within a 10,000 unit range, only 100 Heavy Turrets can be placed in a 10000 unit range, including ALL Auto Turrets & Plant Turrets within that range. If you wish to enable this Heavy Turret limit on your own unofficial Server, you can use these values in the ShooterGameMode section of your Game.ini:

bLimitTurretsInRange=true
LimitTurretsRange=10000
LimitTurretsNum=100

(Later on, those values will also hard-limit regular Auto Turrets and Plant Turrets)

- Doubled Tek Turret Damage

[OldBloke]

Servers updated to v274.12

- Heavy Turrets now have corrected Repair costs (and generally, Repair Cost overrides now work for Structures)
- Repairing a Structure now leaves the "Repairing" state properly as a client
- On Turret-limited Servers, HeavyTurrets now are only hard-limited to 100 Heavies in range, to enable players to more easily replace/swap their old Turrets with Heavies. They will notify on the HUD of more than 100 overall Turrets in range, in preparation for the day when ALL Turrets will be limited to 100 in range.
