Hey hey everyone, Happy Thursday, Incoming a not so small Update with a lot of fixes, a goodie and with some improvements to server protection as well. Check it out! ->

With this hotfix as well we have included new protection methods for people avoiding ping limits. Such actions can bring server instability and lag for everyone and had to be done. This new protection is available for all server owners/hosters to enable if they so wish. As for officials we are currently enabling/disabling it on some servers to make sure everything is working properly. As soon as we are sure it is, we will be deploying it on all official servers.

You can enable/disable it in the server settings, called scum.EnableNetWatchdog=0 where 0 is disabled and 1 is enabled.

We would also like to say Happy Birthday to our loud yet in its own way charming community across the Atlantic, you are free to celebrate it with a new pattern to paint your... well whatever!

So you can be even more loud! And for everyone else dw you can change the colors on it to be sarcastic as well.

• Changes to character spawning parameters:
  Weight multipliers:
  
  Base values for encounters:
  puppet: 60
  animal: 19
  dropship: 5
  dropship_fixed_duration: 1
  npc: 15
  
  Formula:
  multiplier x base value / (base value x multiplier + base value x multiplier + base value x multiplier + base value x multiplier + base value x multiplier)
  result / (result + result + result + result + result)
  result / result
  result
  
  Server setting:
  scum.NPCWorldEncounterSpawnWeightMultiplier=1.000000
  
  So, if we want to modify the base value of the NPC spawn rate and set the multiplier to 80, the calculation would look like this:
  80 x 15 / (60 x 1 + 19 x 1 + 5 x 1 + 1 x 1 + 15 x 80)
  1200 / (60 + 19 + 5 + 1 + 1200)
  1200 / 1285
  0.93385214007821
  93.385...%
  
  By setting the NPC multiplier to 80, the chance for an NPC encounter to be selected (once an LTZ encounter is already triggered for which there is 20% chance) becomes approximately 93.39%.
  
  
[*] New setting for disabling the encounter system: scum.EncounterNeverRespawnCharacters=0
Encounter Never Respawn Characters
Toggle On/Off (1/0)
When enabled, this setting prevents the Encounter from respawning characters. All characters will only spawn at the beginning of the encounter and will not respawn afterward.Kristijan Mijekovec: dropship_fixed_duration: 1 (typo u orginalnom gore za to imam)
