Version 1.0.0.4 of the Multiplayer Survival Game Template has just been uploaded to Gumroad and an email has been sent to Epic, meaning it should hit the marketplace sometime on Monday or Tuesday. This is a pretty big update this time round, with a lot of new features as well as a slew of minor bugfixes from bugs reported by the community. A full changelog, including screenshots for many of the bug fixes (so you can apply them yourself) is available in this post. Summary of the update:

New Features

  • Sounds have been added to many of the actions in game, including crafting items, picking up items, dropping and destroying items, equipping/equipping gear, using items, placing items in the world, opening/closing containers, and more.
  • Some sounds have been made location based, meaning they are only audible to those nearby (such as using items and gunfire), whilst others only play for the player who initiated them (taking items from a container for instance)
  • Books can now be set to read only, making it impossible to pick them up, but opening the book widget on interacting with them
  • Books can now, natively, unlock crafting recipes
  • Built in volumes for manipulating player oxygen and poison
  • The ability to limit the amount of items stored in a container
  • And more!

Fixes

  • Fixed health regeneration not working as intended
  • Fixed a heap of potential Accessed None errors
  • Fixed camera collision component from triggering MSGT volume overlaps
  • And a heap more! Check the changelog for full details!

Documentation is still being written daily, though no new posts have been published in the last few days. Will be pushing a heap of it out in the next day or two so keep an eye on http://survivalgame.site if you are waiting on the documentation. It is definitely all coming together!

Thanks, as always, for the support guys :slight_smile: Just a reminder that I have a discord server running with over 80 people in it who are using the template for all sorts of fun things. If you want help, to look for other like-minded people to work with, or even just to show of what you are doing (with or without the template) feel free to join us! It’s also the place where you can keep up with development of the template on a more day-to-day level, and even chime in about what direction things are going and what features to add in to the next updates! Hope to see some of you there :slight_smile:
