DesolationREDUX & (DR Project)

[BigBenREDUX 59]

Today we release DesolationRedux v0.3.0. This is a major rewrite of much of the SERVER and CLIENT code. This mod was started by a bunch of friends that wanted to make a mod, but were unsure at the time how to go about it. 2 years later, there were some glaring fixes needed. Thanks to Razer remaking a ton of the server side code, and helping fix up part of the client files, Legodev for reworking his Libredex, and myself reworking many of the client file configs and models, we can now move forward with a bunch of new features. These past issues really prevented us from adding new things to the mod, so had to be addressed.

Now this will not just be an optimization update. We do have new content in that you should be able to enjoy. I suggest reading through the change logs.There is some great stuff there.

The follow on updates shouldn't take as long as this one did. Hopefully we can get some of the things in that we have been holding back on, and also start to see more community plugins available. Until then, here are your change logs for DesolationREDUX v0.3.0

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls,

After a long hiatus, the DesolationREDUX dev team would like to present to you, DesolationREDUX v0.41!! @Razer , @legodev , @Kegan Hollern , and @[2301] B.A.D. have been working the majority of this past year nearly completely reworking the core of Desolation. The code now runs better, and allows the guys to move forward with some cool new features we have been wanting for a long time. I think you all will like the things that have been added, and should really be excited for what's to come in the next big announcement. With that said, here is your DesolationREDUX v0.41 changelog.

 

CHANGELOG: SERVER_FILES v0.4.0

THERE ARE WAY MORE CHANGES THAN THESE, BUT THESE ARE THE MAIN CHANGES.

Added: Livonia map support.

Removed: AntiSideChat plugin.

ATTENTION SERVER OWNERS: DB wipe is not NEEDED... but is HIGHLY suggested to do so. Changes to the tables are required. No easy script available for that, so if you know what you are doing, go for it. If not, wipe.

 

  With all that said, there are some exciting news for the future of Desolation/APMS. APMS is the framework upon which Desolation was built. It is a unique plugin system created for Arma 3 that allows the use of server side plugins, much like client side MODs for Arma. Desolation is made with dozens of these plugins, able to easily add or remove to suit the server owners needs. To allow for this system to be used more widely, APMS has had a large rework that separates itself more from Desolation, allowing for modders to use it now for their own purposes.

 

  On top of that work, The guys have done something we have dreamed about having for a very long time. In the current dev build of Desolation, there now lies the workings of a Server Transfer System. It's still very rudimentary, and will need a few months to work out and polish, but will allow server owners to now link multiple worlds together. Players will have the ability to move between maps (cherno to utes to Tanoa, etc) with all their character info/gear/vehicle, without the need for logging out, and logging back in to another server. Simply go to the transfer section, transfer is initiated, you load into the new map moving and facing the direction you were going, and you keep playing. The possibilities this brings are endless, and I can't wait to show it.
