- Onset 1.5.4 - 5 February 2022
Onset 1.5.4 (Protocol Compatibility 5) This update removes the old server query mechanism & master server system. It is being replaced with the solution that the Steamworks library offers. Server operators must update their servers to be shown in the game main menu. Game You can view a list of servers (outside of Onset) in Steam. Go to View -> Servers -> Change Filter to Onset.

- Winter Update 1.5.3 - 14 December 2021
Onset 1.5.3 (Protocol Compatibility 5) Client update Add function EnableSnowParticles(bEnable) Add function SetLandscapeSnowAlpha(Val) Example usage: AddEvent("OnPackageStart", function() EnableSnowParticles(true) SetLandscapeSnowAlpha(1.0) end) The loadstring function now has a 2nd optional parameter for the package name. You can specify a different package where the code will be executed in. For example you could create a console function that executes code in a specific package. In the above picture you can see the new snow function being executed in the package 'default'. Code used: AddEvent("OnConsoleInput", function(input) local cmd local args = {} for word in input:gmatch("%w+") do if cmd == nil then cmd = word else table.insert(args, word) end end if cmd == "x" then if args == nil then print("Usage: x ") return true end local code = input:sub(string.len(args) + 4) print("Package…

- Onset 1.5.0 - 1 July 2021
Onset 1.5.0 (Protocol Compatibility 5) The game compatibility has changed in this release. Server owners must update their server via steamcmd in order to allow clients to connect. https://dev.playonset.com/wiki/DedicatedServer Experimental C# support (server side) Onset now features C# as a secondary scripting language. Why C#? Lua hits its limits when it comes to large projects. Becoming difficult to keep track of structure due to it's missing type safety and limited OOP. Onset is and was always about learning and having fun coding. C# is a popular and stable language loved by many. Will it split the scripting community? It might cause distraction to some extent but the C# implementation and Lua work very well together. You can mix both in a package and also communicate between the two languages. In the end we think the pros will surpass the cons. In this version only the server has C…
- Onset 1.4.3 - 11 February 2021
Onset 1.4.3 (Protocol Compatibility 4) Firetruck Keybindings for the ladder: E, Q - Extend ladder Numpad 4, 6 - Rotate ladder Numpad 2, 8 - Move ladder up and down The ladder and water mesh is a skeletal mesh with an attachment point named "water". You can use that to spawn and attach water particles through Lua. Lua function SetWebFocus for WebUIs This is a great addition to WebUIs. Until now you couldn't focus an input on purpose. For example for a custom chat system. function OnKeyPress(key) if key == "Space Bar" then if IsCtrlPressed() then AddPlayerChat("Focus mapeditor") SetWebFocus(EditorGui) ExecuteWebJS(EditorGui, "FocusInput();") end end AddEvent("OnKeyPress", OnKeyPress) After calling SetWebFocus you must also focus the HTML (input) element through Javascript. Other changes Add button to the main menu to open the server content cache folder. Add SetHeightFogDensity, GetHeight…
- Onset 1.4.2 - 22 January 2021
Onset 1.4.2 (Protocol Compatibility 4) Remote WebUI whitelisting Until now remote WebUIs could only display websites that have been whitelisted in the game config. To give you more freedom, servers can now request the client to whitelist additional domains. Only domain names with a top level domain (TLD) can be whitelisted. Use the new function AddWebUIWhitelist in your index.lua or any other package script. When a player connects they will be asked. Example whitelisting from the above picture: --index.lua AddWebUIWhitelist("vimeo.com") AddWebUIWhitelist("vimeocdn.com") AddWebUIWhitelist("firebaseio.com") AddWebUIWhitelist("sentry-cdn.com") AddWebUIWhitelist("vimeo.magisto.com") AddWebUIWhitelist("akamaized.net") The following Lua event is called in your scripts once the player reacted to the request screen: -- The 1st parameter "domains" is a table containing the domains which the play…
- Onset 1.4.1 - 11 January 2021
Onset 1.4.1 (Protocol Compatibility 4) Package index.lua Each package can now register package files and scripts in a special Lua file. The index.lua is executed before the server loads the package.json file. In this Lua file you can register scripts and files to this package. The following functions are only available to the index.lua script. Besides that, only Lua library functions are exposed the index.lua but no other Onset server functions. AddServerScript AddClientScript AddSharedScript AddFile Example for an index.lua script: AddServerScript("server/*_s.lua") AddClientScript("client/*_c.lua") AddSharedScript("shared/*.lua") AddFile("audio/sound.mp3") AddFile("ui/*.html") For the package to work, there has to be either an index.lua or a package.json config file. Both at the same time are also supported. Package autostart folder To autostart packages place them into the folder "aut…

They are kind of experimental for now, so expect some bugs. The handling will also be further improved. Biker Suit /Game/CharacterModels/BikerSuit/Meshes/SK_BikerSuit New wheeled vehicles Apocalypse Sedan Tank Forklift You can lift up and down using the Q and E key. Shared Scripts Lua scripts can now be marked as "shared". These will run on both the server and client. New functions have been added to check if the current scripts runs on the server…

- Onset 1.2.1 - 30 June 2020
Due to the engine upgrade in this release, all modders and servers must update their .pak files. See below fore more information. As this release changes a lot of technical stuff you can switch back to v1.2.0 in the beta tab on Steam for testing purposes. (Onset -> Properties -> Betas -> v1.2.0) Client changes Unreal Engine upgrade to 4.25 Onset has been upgraded to use the latest Unreal Engine version 4.25. There are numerous improvements related to performance since 4.23. One requirement of this is that .pak files must be re-packaged with the new modding tool for 4.25. Otherwise the game crashes when loading a old pak file. Here's a guide for modders and server owners on how to update. If you need help with this please reach out to me. 1. Install Unreal Engine 4.25 from the Epic Games launcher. 2. Download and extract the new modding tool for 4.25 from here: https://dev.playonset.com/…
- Onset 1.2.0 - 23 May 2020
The game compatibility has changes in this release. Server owners must update their server via steamcmd in order to allow clients to connect. https://dev.playonset.com/wiki/DedicatedServer Client changes New vehicle handling The old handling has been completely replaced. Vehicles now feel much more refined and fun to drive. This consumed a large portion of the development time of this update. Progress has also been made towards vehicle modding which will follow in a future update. I also aim to expose the handling settings of each car then. Vehicles have a lot of settings and dependencies. I aim to make it as easy as possible so that still needs some time. Fix pushing of vehicles Players can no longer push/move vehicles by running against them in certain angles. This fix required a lot of research in the physics engine and therefore also took some time to implement. This means you can f…
