1.9.7 - Fixes and Changes

Additions


Brand new character selection screen! Old one was bothering me too much
Essence tree and the new Essence system were introduced in the last patch on accident. But here's how it works!



Essence pools are small contained bodies of water found all over Primordial, once unlocked (by stepping on it) you can travel to anywhere else an Essence Pool exists. The Essence tree is now the main spawn, and Tombet's pool is automatically unlocked for you, so you can teleport between them right away.



Symbols for these essence pools were added to the minimap

Fixes



  • Loudness of essence teleportation is gone, it should sound relatively normal now
  • You cannot run away once you've opened the essence pool interface
  • You no longer will spawn in game at half health
  • Canis no longer has beard issue
  • Canis should no longer have horn issues either
  • Felis also have the proper horns selected
  • Camera on presets menu was too zoomed in, it should be normal now
  • Editing felis should let you see the proper scar color now
  • No more having both sabres or underteeth, only what you selected will show now
  • Ears you picked for felis will STAY when you edit.
  • Suricates and their pups can now be bald
  • Canis editor no longer brings up Quit menu immediately when opening
  • Raptor feet fluffs are a proper fluff toggle now
  • Felis gender will now save
  • Serious optimizations for framerate in character selection
  • Minimap dot largeness should be tame now
  • SERIOUS minimap optimizations at the cost of minimap blurriness, it's a decent trade off, minimap is super fast now.
  • You can properly register in game.
  • Suricate crouch and walk should be normal again
  • Suricate swimming is no longer jerky
  • Minimap icons had colliders on them for some reason, now they don't.
  • Old staff roles have been removed from in game. There is no longer a Moderator, Global Moderator, Designer, DIT, MIT role. Admin has been changed to Developer.
  • Spelling error fix in Raptor Editor




Known Bugs



Teleporting from hub tree to Tombet can be iffy because Tombet will not always load in. Resetting spawn and re-teleporting should help however.

Unsure about crashing trying to enter the game. For some people this has automatically been fixed with updates, for others it has not. It doesn't seem to be related to the previous issue with DX11 anymore, but something else ?

Fix 1/18/19 + More!

Note


I haven't been able to work on CS properly for a few weeks, my motherboard in my computer stopped working properly, I had to wait a week for the new one to ship, and after installing it, my computer continued to have the same problems it did previously. I finally reinstalled the OS and now it works like a charm! So if you aren't a part of the Discord where I detailed that super fun and exciting and not at all stressing chapter of my real life that was what was going on.



I made a small update on I believe the 10th, but didn't document anything, so here is a congregation of updates made in that patch and in this one.

Fixes



  • Post Processing toggle was removed so that water could be seen, should not affect computer speed or memory at all.
  • Canis trot was fixed from rubber-banding
  • Preset market animals are now visible
  • Bigger list of presets (canis mainly) should be fully accessible now
  • Added a few new marking packs! (Thanks to Enoki, Raven, and Clovis!)
  • Slow falling glitch should be fixed just a bit more
  • Baby felis no longer shows horns if adult does not have horns
  • Audio import settings tweaked so the game uses a bit less memory on scene transitions
  • Had added a detection system for emails! If you don't have a proper email for your account you can set one in account settings!
  • Fixed issue with registration fields not working
  • Game should no longer crash on opening NOR when going into Primordial on a character
  • Stupid idiot banyan tree is done being pink
  • Added a lore book, hold tight on the code for actually unlocking pages! I got a bit of work to do.

To those who are crashing on opening the game!

I'm not entirely sure why this occurs to some of you, but if you have the time, sending me your output_log.txt files would really help shed some light on why this might be happening.

Originally I thought the issue was related to x86 players only, but it seems to occur on both regardless of platform.

Click this link to send in the file

Your output_log can be found in the CerealSoup_Data folder located in your Steam Directory.

If you don't know how to find it, here is a handy guide!



1. Go to your Steam Library and find Cereal Soup. Right click and select "Properties"

2.Click the third tab named "Local Files" and Select the first option "Browse Local Files"

3.Double click the "CerealSoup" folder. Then double click the "CerealSoup_Data" folder.

4.Scroll down past all the "level" files until you see "output_log.txt". Go to the Dropbox link above and send in this file!
