Hi All,

A new patch is here, fresh with some of the most recent requests and bug reports from the community! We've also finished up the last(?) of the game files to be integrated into the Steam Workshop page. If you haven't checked it out yet, vist the Workshop page to see some neat creations by our community and see what's possible to mod into the game!

We've also had an influx of new users since the Blessed Addition has been released, so I'd like to share the official Barony discord http://discord.gg/Eg2r5fE where you can organise multiplayer lobbies and chat with us!

• Added minimap "pinging" using the right mouse button/gamepad 'use' keybind on the minimap.
  
  • Alerts all allies with a sound and flashing icon for a few seconds, up to 4 per player can be active.
• Added 4 separate player colors on the minimap. Followers now properly display for all players and are color coded.
  
• Minimap opacity and size can now be modified in the Video settings tab.
  
• Added minimap "zoom" hotkey, default is bound to 'X'. Toggles between 3 stages of minimap zoom.
  
• Added hotkey to hide the persistent chat/event log. Default is bound to 'L'.
  
• Added specific obituary text for falling from death when levitation runs out.
  
• Added Vertical Sync menu option to the Video settings tab.
  
• Added UI scaling options to the Video settings tab. Character sheet, HP/MP bars, hotbar, inventory, skills sidebar, and chat log can now be scaled via the settings menu.
  
• Improved the 'End game' and 'Disconnect' confirmation window text to better describe what happens when the button is clicked. Clicking disconnect no longer deletes multiplayer savefiles.

• Trading items worth 0 or 1 gold no longer increases Trading proficiency once the SKILLED level is reached.
  
• Trading more expensive items (150+ gold) has a higher chance to increase Trading proficiency.

• Added language file en.txt to Workshop support.
  
• Added items.txt to Workshop support, gold/weight/sprites now editable.
  
• Added monster limbs.txt file to Workshop support.
  
• Added 'system' images to Workshop support (images/system/ files like the logo, menu backdrop, chatlog background etc)
  
• Closing the client with Workshop mods loaded will automatically be repopulated on next start without having to manually reselect them again. Selecting Workshop then 'Start modded game' will load up the previously selected mods.

• Fixed slight delay when clicking 'start game' which could lead to some long load times due to checking if modded content was installed. Now mod content will only be checked if the 'Custom Content' or 'Workshop' menu options have been selected in the session.
  
• Fixed some overlapping text in the Workshop subscribed item list browser. Better handled printing out descriptions.
  
• Fixed Angel of Death achievement triggering off non-ally characters.
  
• NPCs no longer pick up invisible items (Sokoban reward).
  
• Fixed issue where bear traps could be placed in air gaps while levitating.
  
• Fixed issue where slippery fingers dropped a cursed weapon. Now item remains in hand as a proper curse should!
  
• Fixed Brawler achievement being disqualified if pressing the cast magic key without a spell equipped.
  
• Pickaxes now have a small delay when digging that prevents switching equipment during the animation. Should reduce rare bug where item durability could underflow and cause crashes.
  
• Fixed right-clicking on the hotbar in shop window not notifying the player where to actually click to sell items (should be in from inventory).

Thanks all for your support, as always the bug-report thread is here if you encounter any issues, and feel free to make any requests/suggestions on the forums and the discord.

Cheers,

Ben

Hi All,

All 60 new achievements are now available for achieving in the main client!

We've also merged our workshop features into the main branch so all users will have access to this by default.

• Added models to workshop support to replace existing assets. To add models to a mod file, place the new file into the blank /mods/YOUR_MOD/models/ directory where appropriate (monsters go in models/creatures, boulders go in models/decoration etc). Keep the name the same as the original you are replacing and it'll be overwritten when you start modded game.
  
  • You can replace the filenames the game looks for in the mods/YOUR_MOD/models/models.txt file, however this is not cross compatible with other mods modifying the model files, so bear that in mind.
    
  • New guide updated for custom model in Barony:
  https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1383197562
  
  
• Added books to workshop support. To add books to a mod file, place the new YOURBOOK.txt file into the blank /mods/YOUR_MOD/books/ directory. Each .txt file in this books directory will extend the amount of books present in the game and will automatically generate naturally in the world. Inside the .txt file just needs to be the text of your book.
  
  
• Added sounds/music to workshop support. To add these to a mod file, place new files in the mods/YOUR_MOD/sound or mods/YOUR_MOD/music directory. Format must be .ogg files. For sounds - the same as models, you can choose to change the mods/YOUR_MOD/sound/sounds.txt file to change the filenames being looked for but is not cross compatible with other mods.
  
  • Music filenames are fixed so you can only replace the filenames seen in the normal music folder.
  
  
• Added tiles (walls/ground textures etc) to workshop support. To add these to a mod file, place new files in the mods/YOUR_MOD/images/tiles/ folder. Modifying these essentially is a texture pack!

• Added /brawlermode command for the new Brawler achievement to avoid accidentally using banned weapons (fists and throwing potions only, consuming other items is permitted).
  
• Added nicknames from winners of the Screenshot Contest to the random player name pool.
  
• Steam achievements are disabled if any modded map content is found, things like models/sounds will not affect this. A warning in the lower right of the screen will inform if achievements are disabled.
  
• Humans no longer pick up dropped magicstaffs as they don't equip them.
  
• NPCs now will wait 5 seconds before picking up a player-dropped item to avoid accidental theft of a dropped item.
  
• Thrown items can now be caught mid-air by players with right click or alternately bound use key. Includes Tomahawks/Daggers/Chakrams/Shurikens.
  
• Swamp Temple secret is now 100% spawn chance instead of 50%. Matches the other secret level occurrence rate with special loot.
  
• Added 'Use Previous Character" button to the character select screen to quickly jump back into your previous created character's name, sex, race and class. Sends you to the single/multiplayer select screen.
  
• "Boots of Speed" achievement now requires killing either boss instead of reaching the credits sequence.
  
• Added confirmation window when deleting scores in the statistics screen.
  
• Added new higher resolution editor sprites courtesy of Discord user Nubbie.
  
• Added extended help in the Editor explaining controls and tools, accessible via H hotkey or in the HELP menu dropdown.
  
• Rebinding right click to 'cast spell' no longer disables in-game menus and other UI breakages.
  
• Fixed Skeletons spamming sound when waking from sleep.
  
• Cleaned up some missing sound files and replacing with appropriate null.ogg file to prevent game logs being spammed with some missing audio messages.

This update is a rather large change to the way we handle files for Workshop support as well as a whole lot of game adjustments for new achievements, so please report any bugs you see here. There is also the Workshop thread here if you'd like any help with getting started with Barony's workshop.

Don't stop achievin', hold on to that feeling!

Ben

Hi all,

You might have noticed some new Steam achievements pop up on the Barony page a couple days ago. These aren't obtainable in-game yet, but we are working on releasing V3.1.6 of the game client which will implement ways to obtain all 60 new achievements! We're aiming to get this update out within a few days.

In addition, this update will extend Barony's Workshop support to include custom models, tiles, sound and music files, as well as in-game books.

And as always there'll be a couple QoL and bugfixes bundled as well to look forward to.

Cheers,

Ben

As of today, Barony Blessed Addition has officially launched! After over a year of work, we're excited for all of you to dive back into the dungeon. You'll enjoy 50% more content including new levels, more story, new secrets, powerful new items, vicious new monsters and bosses, in addition to the classic first-person, roguelike, co-op gameplay you've come to love and expect from Barony! All of this also comes with features and options that make Barony bigger, better and more accessible for you, both in gameplay, and in making your own levels. For the full list, check out all of our changelists from 3.0.0 on, and you'll see the mountain of work that's gone into this update. (Patch notes at the bottom of this announcement!)

As we've mentioned in the past, you'll soon see on our store page that we've updated the price of the game to reflect the work we've done. Barony now costs $14.99. A price increase is rarely popular, but we feel like Barony is worth it! We hope you do too. Those of you that have been supporting Barony from the beginning will obviously not be affected. You'll see we also have a snazzy new trailer that we hope you enjoy.

You'll also find the Barony Extended OST is now available in the Steam store. It features a whopping 44 atmospheric tracks, straight from the game's dungeons, including new stuff from the Blessed Addition. We hope you enjoy listening to these outside the game in whatever context suits your musical needs! Chris Kukla has composed and sourced all of these incredible tracks that really helps give Barony its signature mood.

Barony has always been a passion project and we hope you love this update as much as we do! Spread the word and get your friends into the dungeon. Most importantly, go kill some liches!

We at Turning Wheel are turning to the community to take some thrilling Barony: Blessed Addition screenshots!

We're looking for 10 fantastic screenshots that show Barony at its best. We'll be picking out the best of the best and using them to help show off the game on digital storefronts.

What's in it for you?

The top 20 submissions will have a name of their choosing [within reason!] added to Barony's name randomizer for all to behold!
The top 10 submissions will receive a free copy of the Barony Soundtrack on Steam!

That's right! With the launch of the Blessed Addition, we're also launching the Barony Soundtrack, and Soundtrack Bundles for you to enjoy.

For your screenshot to qualify, gather screenshots from the Blessed Addition Beta. Simply submit it through the Steam Screenshot tool at 1920x1080 resolution.
Title the Screenshot as "Community Screenshot Challenge".
Comment on your Screenshot the name you would like to be added to the name randomizer.

You may submit several screenshots if you like. If we pick multiple of your screenshots, you may specify an additional name for the randomizer, but you'll still receive a single copy of the soundtrack. We'll be picking shots that make the game content look diverse, interesting, fun, beautiful, and exciting.
To improve your chances, show great cooperative play, take shots of more than just the new content, and avoid shots that spoil some of the game's bigger bosses.

You're welcome to try some hot cheats to get a leg-up on the screenshot pile including the following:

• /noclip - good for generally putting the camera wherever you want - and if you press q or e you can raise or lower the camera for taking cool shots!
  
• /thirdperson - detaches the camera and leaves it stationary in place, while you can move the character away
  
  Again, first and foremost, catch the game at its best!
  Thank you, and have fun! Happy lich hunting!

Howdy folks,

We're almost there! There's some polishing and a few loose ends left to tie up before we can officially launch the Blessed Addition. But, there's also something you need to do: help us find bugs! We're pushing the latest version of the game to the beta branch. Get it, test it, report it.

Barring any major issues, we hope to officially launch the Blessed Addition in the next week or so.

Below, you can find the changelog compiled, as well as instructions on how to access the beta branch in the previous update threads (if you haven't already done so).
Thank you all for your patience!

Post all feedback/bug reports here.

If you need a refresh on the previous BETA changelogs, see the links below:
v3.0.0 Patch notes
v3.0.1 Patch notes

  • Classic mode will finish the playthrough at the end of the Cursed Edition maps.
    
  • Hardcore mode significantly increases the stats and levels of all enemies in the game, and also reduces the reaction time of all melee monsters. This mode is entirely experimental at this point.

  • Priorities are configureable for different item categories (weapons, equipped items, gems etc) through the settings->misc tab.

• Monsters now attempt to move out of the way after being hit by a magic trap.

v3.0.0 Patch notes
v3.0.1 Patch notes

• Complete extended story! Investigate what lies beyond the crystal caves...
  
• Added separate save files for single and multiplayer games. E.g starting a new single player game will only delete the old single player game, and keep the multiplayer file intact.
  
  • Added dialogue options to delete existing save games.
    
  • Added warning on the single/multiplayer select to notify player if there is an existing save file and that it will be deleted.
• Added some new server flags, 'Classic' and 'Hardcore'.
  
  • Classic mode will finish the playthrough at the end of the Cursed Edition maps.
    
  • Hardcore mode significantly increases the stats and levels of all enemies in the game, and also reduces the reaction time of all melee monsters. This mode is entirely experimental at this point.
• Added autosorting functionality to player inventories. Accessible through a button next to the inventory panel, or with a configureable hotkey (default 'R').
  
  • Priorities are configureable for different item categories (weapons, equipped items, gems etc) through the settings->misc tab.
    
  • Setting a priority from 1-9 will cause those items to be sorted from left to right, highest priority (9) will be sorted first
    
  • Setting a priority from -1 to -9 will cause those items to be sorted from right to left, highest priority (-9) will be sorted first
• Reworked layout in boss map. Players who fully explore the dungeons can now have an easier time during the fight.
  
• Updated scores file format, now has capability to embed new challenges and statistics. Added some new 'conducts' at the scores display page (such as hardcore, multiplayer etc) to provide more information about the run.

Hey everyone, quick note this weekend (17-18th) March we'll be rolling out our last BETA before release. This'll be feature complete and will be mostly for bug fixes.

If all goes well then we'll be able to ship Blessed Addition to all owners in the coming days.

Thanks for sticking with us, almost there!
