0.91.3 Changelog

• Added an in-game menu for downloading Creations from the Creation Hub. It can be accessed via a new button in the main menu.
  
• Added a protocol handler: `logicworld://` links now get opened by the game, allowing quick and easy downloading of Creations. For this to work, you first need to click the "Register Protocol" button in the Download Creation Menu.
  
• Added command: `OpenDownloadCreationMenu [creation ID or URL]`
  
• Added secret setting: `MHG.Protocol.EnableProtocolListeningOnUDP`
  
• Added secret setting: `MHG.Protocol.ListeningUdpPort`
  

• When Grabbing or Cloning on a smooth surface like Grasslands, you can now hold the Mod key (by default left ctrl) to rotate the object freely.
  
• Pick Component will now try to match the full detail of the component, if possible. For example, if you have both a red and blue circuit board in your hotbar and you use Pick on a red board, the red board in your hotbar will now be selected.
  
• Fixed several exceptions with Grabbing that could happen if you tried to grab an object before the server finished confirming a previous building operation. In these cases, the Grab operation will fail now (and you can try again a second later).
  
• Fixed exception when canceling a Resize operation if another player has moved or resized that component while you were resizing it.
  
• Fixed Resizing still moving child components around in a few edge cases.
  
• Fixed Resizing an object with wires attached without changing the component size causing wire ghosts to remain.
  

• If an undo or redo fails, a message will now be printed to the debug console.
  
• Fixed server exception when undoing the creation of a component that another player deleted.
  
• Fixed undo history becoming corrupted when server is very busy (frozen) and applying multiple multi-build-request operations in that time.
  
• Fixed redo crashing the client if an undo operation previously failed.
  
• Fixed redo silently failing when trying to delete wires that were already deleted as a side effect of a component deletion.
  
• Fixed missing wires after undoing and then redoing a Clone operation with internal wires.
  

• Added a "Report a Bug" button on the Main Menu, Pause Menu, and Error Screen. Pressing this button brings up instructions for how to report a bug or issue with the game.
  
• In the Singleplayer menu, the Details pane for a saved game will now show which mods are in that save's registry.
  
• Fixed various issues with hotbar item management.
  
• Fixed the volume sliders in the Edit Singer and Edit Drum menus having an incorrect maximum value.
  
• Fixed the color chooser in the Edit Label menu not properly showing the correct selected color about 50% of the time.
  
• Fixed the Help menu flickering for a frame when you start placing an item on the hotbar.
  

• Added an experimental "Component Action" API. It allows sending custom bytes to a component between server and client.
  
• Added new manifest property `IncludeModInfoInSave`, which allows mods to control when their info (ID and version) are stored in save files.
  
• Cache folders will now be automatically deleted when switching/updating to different game version. This triggers a mod recompilation.
  
• Modders can now create and inject undo history entries.
  
• Multi-Undo build request sending now allows callbacks. (#398)
  
• Improved "mod has no mod type" exception messages to mention the issues with inheriting Server/ClientMod class.
  
• Mod compilation errors are now shown on the error screen, so you don't need to check the logs to see these errors.
  
• Fixed (new) mod instance creation failure detection hiding some other common exceptions (e.g. "Mod has no mod-type").
  
• Fixed a game crash in multiplayer when your game has modded components that the server does not have and a component deletion is undone.
  

• If there is an error with starting up the game, the error screen will now be properly shown with information about that error, instead of an empty black screen.
  
• Added a "Copy Error" button to the error screen. Please make use of it when reporting issues :)
  
• The error screen can now show stacktraces and other details in an expandable info box.
  
• Added secret setting: `MHG.UI.ErrorScreen.OpenErrorDetailsByDefault`
  

• Everything you see in server or client console will now be added to the log files.
  
• Log files will now contain stacktraces for exceptions.
  
• Command executions by player or console or LSF will now be logged in the log files.
  
• Improved logging throughout the program.
  

• Added server command-line argument: `--ansi-rgb`. This will make the server use Ansi RGB color codes in the plain text console. If the terminal supports RGB, colors will be accurate.
  
• Removed server LICC log file (log.txt).
  

• Unused components will no longer be added to world or subassembly save's component registry.
  
• Mods which provide components placed in the world will now be automatically included in the save's mod registry.
  

• When teleporting to another player, you no longer teleport inside them: instead you teleport next to them, looking at them. This is similar to how teleporting to Flags works.
  
• Fixed the `tp ` command not working.
  

• Added command-line startup option: `-open-save `
  
• Added command-line startup option: `-join-server [-server-password ]`
  
• Added command-line startup option: `-open-url `

• Added command: `debug.printcommandlinearguments`
  

• Added WIP translations for Pirate Speak.
  
• Updated translations and translator credits for Czech, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Slovenian, Spanish (Spain), and Swedish.
  

• Enabling or disabling noclip will now only print a message to the debug console if you do it via the `noclip` command. This prevents the console being spammed with messages if you use the secret setting `MHG.Flying.Secret.AutoEnterNoclipOnStartFlying`.
  
• Fixed copying messages from the client console sometimes copying rich text tags.
  
• Fixed a server memory leak on game save when no players are online.
  
• Fixed a rare case where the client and server failed to properly exchange component CustomData, leading to mess and disaster.
  
• Fixed the "Upload this sandbox" button sometimes not working.
  
• Fixed typos in several secret settings and server config values: `Nolcip` was fixed to `Noclip`, `Recieve` has been fixed to `Receive`, and `TimeOut` has been fixed to `Timeout`.
  
• Fixed the Crash of Doom, which made the whole world disappear except some floating disembodied wires.
  
• We now properly handle several situations where a crash could become even crashier when trying to remove outlines.
  

0.91.2 Changelog

• Significantly improved loading times for larger worlds (>100,000 components) by batching collider instantiations.
  
• Fixed an issue that made hot-loads slower than cold-loads for larger worlds. All worlds now load faster hot than cold.
  
• Limited the maximum physics delta time to prevent physics death spirals. This should significantly improve framerates in large worlds for most cases.
  
• Sockets find their connections faster now. This means that initial world loading times are faster in worlds with lots of Sockets, and furthermore, placing or moving a lot of sockets at the same time will create less severe lag spikes.
  
• Server tick scheduling has been improved to reduce the amount of time the server can spend idle and not simulating the circuitry. Faster simulation speeds can now be accessed before the server starts skipping simulation time.
  
• The simulation now tries to catch up lost time over multiple server ticks, and only begins skipping simulation time once the simulation tick debt crosses a configurable threshold.
  
• Removed the server config value `MaxAllowedTimeStepSeconds`, and replaced with with the new server config value `MaxAllowedSimulationTickDebtSeconds`, due to the new simulation catch-up system described above.
  
• Assorted additional optimizations.
  

• Improved item movement during Multi-Grab and Multi-Clone operations. Items are much better at finding nearby valid placements, have a far greater tolerance for vertical displacement, and conform more strictly to their target rotations.
  
• Added secret setting: `MHG.Placing.Secret.MultiPlacementMaxVerticalVariance`
  
• Added secret setting: `MHG.Placing.Secret.MultiPlacementCastHeightIncrement`
  
• Edge extensions are now only enabled during fine placement, so it's easier to place circuit boards into tight spaces.
  
• Fixed false-negatives when detecting valid placements; you should now never be erroneously prevented from placing objects next to each other.
  

• By default, servers will no longer automatically save the game or make auto-backups while no players are connected. However, these behaviors can be restored by enabling the new server config values `DoAutosaveWhileServerIsEmpty` and `DoAutoBackupsWhileServerIsEmpty`.
  
• If the server is started with the command-line argument `--help`, it will now print a help text with available command-line arguments, and then shut down.
  
• If the server is started with invalid command-line arguments, it will now display an error message followed by the `--help` text, and then shut down.
  
• Disabled terminal prompt prefix `>` when the `--plain-text` server argument is set.
  
• The server console no longer waits for input before closing if there is an error on startup.
  
• Fixed exception on server shutdown if `AnnounceOnLocalNetwork` is turned off. (#484)
  

• New format for save files, Blotter v7, with minor binary formatting tweaks.
  
• Added save converter from v6 to v7 (Blotter v6 was used from Logic World v0.91.0 to v0.91.1).
  
• Added save converter from v5 to v7 (Blotter v5 was used from Logic World v0.90.0 to v0.90.3).
  
• The game will now automatically back up a save before converting it to a new save format version.
  
• When you create multiple saves with the same title, the on-disk filenames will now use an incrementing counter (i.e. `world`, `world (1)`, `world (2)`) instead of appended dashes (i.e. `world`, `world-`, `world--`).
  

• Hotbar title text now fades out after a short time with the same slot selected.
  
• Added secret setting: `MHG.UI.Hotbar.FullTextDuration`
  
• Added secret setting: `MHG.UI.Hotbar.FadeTextDuration`
  
• Fixed some glitches and inconsistent behavior with hotbar item management.
  
• Fixed base building UI rendering behind world geometry when another menu is open.
  

• Updated translations and translator credits for Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Romanian, Russian, Spanish (Spain), Swedish, Turkish, and Ukrainian.
  

• Added preprocessor symbols `LW_SIDE_SERVER` and `LW_SIDE_CLIENT` for compiling a section of mod code only the server or only on the client. (#489)
  
• Added a hook for post-parse save transformation to `SaveReader`, which mods can use to update their components.
  
• If a server-side mod fails to compile, the server will now immediately shut down instead of continuing to load the save with a mod missing.
  
• Client-side mod compilation errors now get printed at INFO log level. (#310)
  
• When a mod instance fails to load, the error message is now more helpful, and instructs you to try deleting the cache folders.
  
• Fixed CS1701 warning spam on client compilation error.
  

• Improved handling of exceptions during application initialization to prevent outrageous error spam.
  
• Fixed some exceptions being logged twice.
  
• Fixed the client being spammed with exceptions if another player joins or leaves near a barrier.
  
• Fixed exceptions when disconnecting from a server.
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur with a particular easter egg that pops up on Markku's birthday.
  
• Fixed not being able to join singleplayer games when UsePassword is enabled in `config.succ`. (#400)
  
• Fixed occasional erroneous floating wires not being removed when the game is reloaded. (#482)
  
• Fixed client crash to error screen on server rejoin when the server's simulation is struggling if the Simulation Speed Menu was not previously opened.
  

A New Team

Zoey

Hello! I'm Zoey, a self taught software engineer from England.

So what's my story? Well, let's start at the beginning.

13.8 billion years ago there was nothing, and then, there wasn't. A short while later, I was born. Ever since then I've had a fascination for technology, an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and a passion to create. As a result, I have worked on hundreds of random personal projects over the years, from terrain generators and physics engines to robots and computer vision.

The full list of projects would be too much to put here, and frankly, I doubt I could remember them all, but here are a couple of my favourites:

Sparse Voxel Octree Ray Tracer (SVORT).
Voxels are fun, and ray tracing is fun, so why not combine the two? Standard voxels use too much ram, and are slow to traverse, so let's use a Sparse Voxel Octree, and write it all in CUDA!
To create my SVORT I began by designing a custom SVO data format, allowing for a compact data representation and efficient traversal. After that, I needed something to actually render, so I wrote a 3D model to SVO converter, allowing me to convert textured 3D models to my custom SVO format. Once all of that was done, it was time for the ray tracer itself. The most complex part of the ray tracer was figuring out a way to efficiently traverse the SVO on a GPU, but in the end I got everything working smoothly, and was able to render scenes at a scale of 4096^3 voxels with 24 bit colour (192GB without compression) in real time on a card with 8GB of VRAM.

Custom CPU Design.
Another subject that I enjoy is custom CPU design. Whether it is in Minecraft or a logic simulator, I have always found this area fascinating. The project I took the furthest started with designing my own Instruction Set Architecture. Though next, rather than stepping into a logic simulator, this time I wrote an emulator with an output terminal, along with some initial bytecode for testing. Once I had verified that it was working, I proceeded to write an assembler to ease the process of writing code for the CPU. That was all well and good, but for this one I decided to take it one step further. Buying a cheap FPGA development kit, I decided to bring my CPU into the real world. Writing the implementation for the CPU out in Verilog, along with an interface for the UART transceiver, I managed to get my custom CPU running and communicating with a terminal on my computer, bringing the project to a satisfying conclusion.

Throughout all that I've worked on, computer science has always held a special place in my heart, and when I came across Logic World, I knew I had found something I just had to be a part of.

As part of the Logic World team, my primary contributions will be improving performance and efficiency, and the occasional fancy algorithm to add a new feature.

Ecconia

Heya, I am Ecconia.

I live in Germany, studying Computer Science. My primary hobby is ice skating. I like to write big messages.

I started doing boolean logic circuits as a young boy on the playground, drawing a Full Adder circuit into the sand. Eventually that led me to Redstone, but I never felt happy there. There were many inconsistencies and weird unintentional behaviors.

But being active in such a community brought my attention to [code single]Logic World

GHXX

Hi, I'm GHXX, a self-taught programmer, with around 10 years of experience in C# (the language that Logic World is primarily written in) and a varying, but smaller amount of experience in a plethora of other languages. I also like to reverse-engineer code, even on the assembly level and, of course, play modded games.

Over the course of this timespan I have written many mods/tools for several games (Rimworld, KTaNE, Cookie Clicker, Garrys Mod, Factorio, Logic World and others), and even some modloaders/tools that make modding a whole lot easier for some games.

My most intensive reverse-engineering project to date is my modding interface for a very nice chess-spinoff game called *5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel*. My interface adds a bunch of features to that game and enables easy modding of it, with zero modifications to game files, by patching the code at runtime -- and it's even quite stable. I'm proud of this project but it came at the cost of spending well over one hundred hours digging through compiled C++ code.

I have also created a few Logic World mods and personal dll patches back in the day for 0.90.3 which addressed a few problems when playing on pretty large worlds. In fact, all of those mods/patches, with the exception of my TCP Bridge mod (which I should probably update at some point as it is currently sitting on 0.90.3, despite likely working for 0.91.1 anyway), were actually just created so that a dear friend of mine, known as 00asdf, and I could continue extending our gigantic world, containing just under 2 million components, which we have been building ever since we purchased Logic World on Steam.

Generally, what would happen is that we would play, then face some kind of performance roadblock, at which point I would leave the server and investigate and mod around the issue, so that we could continue expanding. The ability to add fixes directly to the game, rather than having to cook up a modified dll or a harmony mod is the main thing that got me interested in helping out with Logic World.

I am very grateful to be part of the dev team, as the collaboration between all of us will hopefully lead to a much much more performant version which enables everyone, including myself, to create ever bigger and more ambitious builds.

A New Update

A New Engine

• fun to work with,
  
• NOT UNITY, and
  
• free and open source software, so once we've moved our game to Godot we will truly own it and have control over it.
  

0.91.1 Changelog

• Multi-Placement systems have been drastically improved. It should now be much easier to place multiple items where you want them to be, and items should always have the correct starting placement when you begin moving them now.
  
• The system for determining the rotation of items being Grabbed or Cloned has been reworked. These items should never change rotation unexpectedly now when you move them to a surface with a different orientation.
  
• Added secret setting: `MHG.Placing.Secret.MaxOffsetVariantAttemptsPerItemPerFrame`
  
• Fixed a crash to error screen that could occur when grabbing or cloning multiple components (#475)
  
• Fixed a crash to error screen when undoing some custom-data-changing operations (#469)
  
• Fixed a crash to error screen, and occasionally other weird errors, when undoing a multi-clone operation that placed a cloned object on top of a source object (#466)
  
• Fixed not being able to resize components when they're placed in very specific locations (#471)
  
• Fixed cloned objects sometimes containing input pegs that remain On without being connected to any outputs
  
• Fixed using Offset Hold on a Flipped component resulting in a mirrored X offset value
  

• Fixed inputs on Through Pegs and Sockets sometimes erroneously starting Off instead of On after loading a save
  
• Fixed Delayers' internal counter state not being saved, and resetting to 0 on save load (#473)
  

• FOR REAL THIS TIME, fixed the infamous "cuddle bug", where you'd sometimes be shoved around by other players while someone was in the process of joining the server (#474)
  
• Fixed visual glitches for a short time after someone joins or leaves the server where other players would appear to move around very far and fast
  
• Fixed connected clients sometimes erroneously seeing the default server closing message when the server is closed with a custom message
  
• Fixed missing server console message to confirm the world has been saved to disk when the server is closed and `SaveOnClose` is enabled
  
• Improved the phrasing of various messages printed to the server console
  

• Finding Parcels: tweaked the color of some sounds and fixed some audio artifacts
  
• Time and Science: fixed the ending note being cut off abruptly. It now fades out fully to silence.
  

• Translations for WIP languages now include non-approved Google Translate suggestions
  
• Updated translations and translator credits for Bulgarian, Chinese (Simplified), Croatian, Czech, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Romanian, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish (Spain), Swedish, Turkish, and Ukrainian 🇺🇦
  

• Fixed OBJ export not working at all lmao
  
• Added command: `objexport.currentworld [int textResolution]`
  
• OBJ exports should have much less texture duplication compared to 0.90.3. Textures are now reused where possible.
  
• Exported .obj and .mtl files are more human-readable compared to 0.90.3 thanks to added whitespace between objects, better organization of the data, and a few other improvements
  

• `token.dat` is now stored in the game install directory, next to the executable. This means your login is now specific to your installation of the game, instead of being shared by all installations on your machine.
  
• `token.dat` is now stored encrypted, with an encryption key and IV stored in a separate location on your machine. This means that in order to impersonate you, an attacker would now need access to two files instead of just one.
  
• Fixed the `LogicWorld.Online.Auth.ClearedToken` event never being invoked (#476)
  
• Added a smiley face when you log in using the browser
  

• Fixed incorrect integrated server paths on the Itch.io version, which prevented Itch.io players from loading singleplayer worlds
  
• The game handles input much better now if your binding for Multi-Select overlaps with your binding for a Build Action
  
• Fixed a crash to error screen when the main menu loads if you have a corrupted save file
  
• Added a check on application startup for whether the environment supports compute shaders, which are required to draw component/wire geometry since 0.91. If not, an appropriate error message will be displayed.
  
• Removed OpenGL support on MacOS, since OpenGL on MacOS does not support compute shaders
  
• Enabled Graphics Jobs and GPU Skinning in the player, which should provide a modest rendering performance boost

• Improvements to physics performance
  
• Added secret setting: `MHG.Secret.UnityFixedDeltaTime`. Increasing this value can massively increase the framerate in very large worlds (with a very large number of colliders), but will reduce the accuracy of game physics.
  
• Added secret setting: `MHG.Secret.UnityMaximumDeltaTime`
  

• Component positions are now stored as fixed point rather than floating point
  
• Component world positions are now calculated in the reference frame of the stack root component
  
• Rounding of component rotations is smarter and more consistent
  
• Due to these changes, components now stay perfectly aligned up to an arbitrary nesting depth (#269, #273) and no longer cause tiny erroneous intersections (#123)
  

• Upgraded to Blotter File Format v6, to store positions in the new way (fixed point rather than floating point)
  
• Blotter v6 also has support for multi-root subassemblies, in preparation for some 0.92 features
  
• Added save converter from v5 to v6
  
• The game no longer considers a save to be “corrupted” if it uses a previous blotter format version; instead, a helpful save converter UI is offered
  
• Fixed missing translation string for the file corruption state “unknown save type”
  
• Fixed sandbox list displaying an empty info box for saves with an outdated format version
  

• The About menu, Languages menu, and Teleport menu can now be accessed from the Pause menu
  
• The in-game changelog is much prettier, and the changelogs for each update can now be individually collapsed and expanded
  
• The in-game changelog now automatically generates and displays links for mentioned issues
  
• If another player edits the properties of a Flag (i.e. name, color, aspect ratio) while you have the Teleport Menu open, the Teleport Menu will now update to reflect those changes
  
• By default, the Edit Flag menu will no longer close immediately when you select a new color

• Fixed console error spam if you have the Help menu open and you switch game states on two consecutive frames (#395)
  

• Thumbnails are now anti-aliased
  
• Thumbnail lighting is now independent of environment lighting, so thumbnails will now always look consistent
  
• When a single component has an output that is supposed to start on, such as the output of an Inverter, the output is now properly rendered as on in the thumbnail
  
• Added command: `ExportThumbnailCache`
  
• Added command: `RegenerateThumbnailCache`

• Fixed incorrect footstep sounds being played in some situations
  
• Fixed new player positions not being applied until all overlay UI is closed
  

• Added support for outlining Interactables that are not part of components. This is used for the big clicky button in the test world, which is now outlined when you look at it.
  
• Interaction-dragging behavior is now consistent between chairs and standing: when the cursor is moved to be looking at a non-interactable, the interaction ends
  
• Added secret setting: `MHG.Secret.Interactables.StopInteractionIfLookingAtNonInteractable`
  
• You can now interact with the same Switch multiple times during one interaction
  
• When interacting with a Chair to sit in it, the interaction will now immediately end, instead of continuing while you sit in the chair. Fixes #103
  

• Added a “Never” option to the Music Frequency setting
  
• Changing Music Frequency will no longer cause music to stop playing (except when setting it to “Never”)
  
• Reloading the settings (i.e. by switching settings profiles) no longer causes the music to stop playing
  
• Tweaked the default parameters for the fancy pause menu music effects
  
• Music is loaded from disk more reliably; fixed music playback issues on some systems (#422)
  

• Fixed shared mod `.cs` files being in `shared/` instead of `src/shared/` (#341)
  
• Fixed mod compilation failing when a mod assembly does not have a path, i.e. when using Harmony mods (#308)

• Reduced the minimum time between connections to a server from a single IP from 30 seconds to 3 seconds
  
• Messages in the server console announcing player leaves/joins are prettier
  
• Fixed the server always saving on close even if the server config value `SaveOnClose` is set to `false`

• Updated Unity version from 2019.4.17f1 to 2019.4.40f1
  
• Upgraded server runtime from .NET Core 3.1 to .NET 7.0. For now, .NET 6.0 binaries are also included with the dedicated server.
  
• Fixed there being an omega (Ω) in the name of a dll, which prevented the game from working properly in some environments. This also accidentally prevented the game from working if you got it from a particular game pirating service, so uh, you’re welcome, pirates. YAARRRRRR
  
• All error messages and APIs are now PG-13
  
• Added a system for updating CustomData in saves when the layout for a component’s CustomData changes between versions

• Added Vulkan as an optional graphics API on Windows and Linux (used with the command-line argument `-force-vulkan`). Vulkan still has issues on some systems, but once we work those out it will become the default graphics API on Windows & Linux.
  

• Linux: fixed mouse button presses sometimes registering as phantom scroll wheel events (#146)
  
• Linux: fixed the camera moving when the game window does not have focus and the cursor moves into the game window area (#148)
  
• Linux: fixed Action Wheel segments being invisible on Linux OpenGL (#41)
  
• MacOS: fixed keybindings in the UI sometimes displaying as empty/blank
  

• Changed default offline player names from “Citizen [random number]” to “Bobby #[random number]”, and reduced the max size of the random numbers
  
• When taking a screenshot, the screen now flashes grey for one frame (this is a necessary temporary limitation and will be removed in a future release)
  
• Added secret setting: `MHG.Secret.ScreenshotFlashColor`
  
• The FPS counter no longer erroneously reports 60FPS for the first second it is enabled (#350)
