Vehicle Building:
Several settings have been added to Config.json for limiting the size of vehicle bases:
-
Allow_Item_Placement_On_Vehicle (true / false)
-
Allow_Trap_Placement_On_Vehicle (true / false)
-
Max_Item_Distance_From_Hull (meters)
-
Max_Trap_Distance_From_Hull (meters)
In particular, the trap settings are intended to help prevent roaming walls of death.
Emissive Materials:
Following the recent Unity upgrade and post-processing upgrade, the bloom threshold has been raised to only affect pixels with >1 emission. This prevents bloom from interfering with bright surfaces like beaches. The emission colors on a few hundred materials have been adjusted to match, and especially the bloom on fire looks nicer. If any materials were missed or look odd feel free to report them as a bug and they will be adjusted.
Rocket:
Servers using old versions of Rocket will now be required to update to a newer version. There was a warning about this in the server console in the previous update, but now it is mandatory. This is important because there are fixes for legacy Rocket issues like multithreading exceptions and teleportation exploits.
General Additions:

Potentially save time during startup by only checking official guns, melee and beans for skins.
