v0.1.12.2-Beta

Changes / Fixes

This release is a compatibility fix for B99.6. As with all Derail Valley updates, there may be changes and compatibility issues we aren't aware of, if you find any problems, pease report report them by either raising an issue or visiting the Discord discussion thread. Note: you will need to join the Altfuture Discord server. Be sure to include both the host and client player.log files in your report. You can also use the game's built in bug report feature and upload the bug report zips.

Known Bugs

• Clients are unable to self service locomotives - self service objects (e.g. pipes, chutes, plugs, nozzles) not synced.
• Horns, whistles and steam loco reversers can play up when more than one player is in the loco; this is not a breaking issue, only a mild inconvenience.
• MU chains behave the same as the horns and whistles, playable but mildly annoying.
• Shop, world items, inventory for players other than the host not yet synced - job overviews, booklets and reports are partially sync'd.
• Many other minor bugs and inconveniences, which we'll work through as we tick off the bigger issues.
• New game features including "Demonstrator vehicles" are not completely sync'd and will be worked on over the coming releases.
• When a job is completed and the Job Booklet is turned in by a client, cash only spawns on the host's game - this is expected to be fixed with Item Sync.
• When a job is completed and the Job Booklet is turned in by a client, the booklet may have incorrect information; this is a visual only bug.

Features in progress

• Mod API - this will allow other mods to integrate with Multiplayer without needing patches
• Manual service - This will allow all players to service locomotives if the licence has been acquired.
• Job sync - This is on hold, pending release of item sync.
• Item sync - good progress has been made; there were a few outstanding issues we were working on prior to B99's release. Major updates in B99 (many new "smart" items and a new mounting system) will delay the release of this feature.

General note: manual service, item sync and job sync are all interrelated and may need to be released in one large update.
