Open Beta v5.1.1

Hey!

A really small patch is now available to download on Windows platforms. Update is compatible with the previous version, so you can simply ignore that.

A lot of you complain about the new bloom effect. I've decided to bring back the old one. I will try to adjust some parameters in the next update. I also fixed some errors with the map generator and RA.

Open Beta v5.1.0

Hey folks!

Introducing the Remote Admin rework, which is coming out today in 5h! (10:00 PST / 17:00 GMT+0).
These features are good news for all server owners and is already available on public beta branch, so you can test it before the release! :)

• Better query compression - Remote Admin will stop ignoring requests.
  
  
• GUI minor redesign.
  
  
  
  
• Text-based mode - if you want to access more commands, you can use the Text-Based Remote Admin (T.B.R.A. mode). The full list of commands is available here.
  
  
  
• Custom commands support - Now you can modify your server in order to add your own commands. It can be helpful with implementing your own events and stuff like that!

• New warhead control room.
  
  
  
• Changed the bloom effect.
  
  
  
• Updated the Dissonance (voicechat plugin that we use). Let's see if it helps.
  
  (Btw, if you've ever used the Dissonance Voice Chat and know where is the problem, contact me at moszka.hubert@gmail.com)

SCP: Secret Laboratory is over 5 months old, it passed quickly, isn't it?
Thank you for your trust. We hope that our effort is noticeable!

In the next updates we will focus mainly on bug fixing and visual overhauling.
Our plan is to introduce the "classic" atmosphere of the rooms - old technics, worn walls, etc. Just like it was in the 90's. Here's a small concept showcase:



Of course, the action is still happening nowadays and some technologies like LCD displays or LED lights can be found.

Finally, we've prepared a small roadmap for you. It illustrates our priorities.



In closing, I would like to thank you on behalf of our team. We are proud that we can continuously develop this project for you, and we hope that we will be able to surprise you once more!

Open Beta v5.0.0

Hey folks!

You've been waiting for a new update almost a month. The update is coming out today in 6.5h! (10:00 PST / 17:00 GMT+0). The update is already available on the public beta branch, so you can test it before the release! :)

This changelog contains one new feature on the very beginning, the rest is copied from the previously published announcement.

• Decontamination process - The Light Containment Zone will automatically close after 15 minutes from the start of the round. This should limit the amount of D-Bois prolonging the game and kill every SCP trapped in locked rooms.
  
  
• Class-specific ragdolls - each class now has its own dead body, instead of zombie-like ragdoll.
  
  
  
  
• Keybinding options - a lot of you were asking about that, here you are!
  
  
  
  
• New warhead detonation announcer - a lot of people asked for a male announcer. Every time I change an actor opinions are divided, he is an official actor, so your complaining has no point ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
  If you like it - I'm glad, otherwise uninstall the game (Don't do it, I will cry all night).
  
  
  
  
• Blood - the following screenshot was created without using any additional tools (I added just a blur effect)
  
  
  
  
• It is possible to close alpha warhead doors again, but they open permanently after the detonation.

----------------

• Intel crashes significantly minimalized! (yay!)
  
• Voice Chat crashes also minimalized! (also yay!)
  
• ESC closes the game console
  
• Grenades now once again damage SCPs!
  
• Other SCPs cannot recontain SCP-106
  
• Main Menu Theme has been slightly refined
  
• Spectator fixes - the list refreshes itself automatically and you can't see the spectating player's head in your camera.

----------------

• Ban system reworked (using Steam ID instead of Hardware ID, new storage format).
  
• Added whitelist
  
• Automatic port forwarding by UPnP.
  
• Forwarded server console to game console, when server is not dedicated.
  
• Server verification fixes.
  
• Anticheat improvements.

Hey folks!

It seems 079 is causing trouble with the Server Browser, we are attempting to cut his connections as soon as possible!

The server list should appear within a few minutes if you wait.
Don't forget you can still use Direct Connect to join your favourite servers.
You can also check out Server Advertisements in the discussions, or visit our discord and view the #servers channel.

Hopefully we can resolve the issue soon and recontain the breach.

His connections have been cut and he has been recontained to his own network once more!

Our central server is back. The problems were caused by our hosting provider, not by us.

We are going to set up backup server this month and we will be able to reroute all traffic in seconds to avoid situations like this.

Currently we have issues with our central server. We are investigating the situation. Lobby list will be available as soon as it will be possible.

Sorry for inconvenience.

@EDIT: Server are back. This was HOSTING PROVIDER problem, not our. We are going to make backup infrastructure this month, in case of things like this.
