Change Log

Changes in 2.49.5

• Updated the sound pack. Players can see more new sounds. Thanks for players those who contributed for the sounds.
• Added a new sound for auction canceling thanks to the Charry's feedback.
• You can now restrict dropping items on the ground! The newly added item drop restriction in the Build menu allows you to either restrict all items or create a list of items that are allowed to be dropped, automatically restricting all others. Say goodbye to cozy house spammers!
• Added look restriction zones! Map builders can now define specific areas where the look command is restricted. Within these zones, players will be unable to see the area's contents or descriptions unless they are specifically authorized. When creating a look restriction zone, you can also provide a whitelist of usernames who are allowed to bypass the restriction. This is a powerful tool for creating private rooms, secret areas, or staff-only locations within your maps.

This means that, even if your team has higher kills, this does not mean your team is the best. Sorting system will always determine based on the points and kills total.
• Sonar has now been removed completely.
• Zones will no longer go to buffer, and the zones buffer has been removed.

Changes in 2.40

Welcome to the first version of NVGT engine. Therefore, bugs might arrive. This version contains bug fixes, redesigned systems, improvements, and removals and is thus recommended that you read the change log before you play. Since this is the first start on NVGT engine, future bugs might be found, and we suggest that you report bugs to us as well as give suggestions and ideas that you think might be considerable enough for such suggestions and/or ideas to be implemented. This version also includes changes to sound system, UI controls and responsive menus, as well as security implementations.

• Ultra World now supports actual 3D sound environment!
• Fixed most of the runtime errors.
• The /teamcreate now takes a new argument. /teamcreate <id> <team name>. The ID is the normal, small, identifier, while the team name is your display name and thus can contain spaces. Players must always use the ID when the team ID is needed to be set, such as in /jointeam command. Thus, ID can never change once created.
• Added a new command called /teamnickname <team name> that changes your team's display name.
• Fixed the bug where you spawn in the jail after you die in a task map.
• Map error handle is now improved. It will tell you what went wrong, on which line, rather than otherwise causing the runtime error and causes the game to crash.
