This update includes remaining fixes and changes originally slated for the previous update that was released early due to some game-breaking issues. The remaining fixes primarily center on the longline fishing system, and the introduction of ocean currents.

General:

Fixed issue where pausing the game would allow some ships to continue moving for a short time, desyncing Player local position aboard.

Fixed several persistent log exceptions that would repeat infinitely under some circumstances. (notably regarding navmesh agents.)

Fixed missing interaction highlight for some items.

Fixed some geometry holes in various places.

Fixed ability to switch to exterior view while using the map, resulting in odd snapping behavior of the camera.

Significantly reformatted the in-game manual accessed through interaction objects/mapping interface, and added additional data to it. (Note -- not yet applied to the docked version in the general menu.)

Removed auto mip-maps from manual images, as they tended to appear in reduced resolutions.

Caravel Troller:

Fixed multiple issues that would cause fishing lines to stop reeling.

Added several safety measures to ensure fish positions are compliant with requirements.

Increased weight of ... weights ... so that fishing lines will be pulled into deeper water, allowing more hooks to be in the water at a time.

Fixed inconsistent despawn of hooks when despawning caravel troller.

Corsair Xebec:

Fixed several additional issues that could result in high speeds directly into the wind.

Moved thrust calculation to influence the hull separately for each sail, rather than a blended average. This may increase difficulty in getting everything in trim, but should result in more realistic force application/cancelling forces.

Padewakang:

Added the missing mooring lines.

Changes:

Slightly decreased hydrodynamic drag on all ships. This will result in slight increases to top speeds.

Added a first pass of an ocean current system. Refer to the map for a general view of where currents are present. These currents, at least to start with, are fairly weak, around 2km/hr at their strongest point, but over time can still result in time saved (or lost). Additionally, you will now need to ensure you've anchored your ship when disembarked, as otherwise it may not be where you left it.

Hello - this update isn't complete as it was originally intended for the end of the week. However due to a game-breaking bug with the Corsair Xebec, I'm pushing this out early to address. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Dhow:

Added a small platform, increasing the height of the helm, allowing better forward visibility.

Fixed sail colors not functioning on the Dhow.

Corsair Xebec:

Fixed game-breaking bug that prevented saving/loading of this ship.

Significantly reduced the number of collision objects and rigidbodies in the rigging, which should improve stability and performance. (Slightly)

All Lateen/Square Rigs

Improved spar rope behavior, particularly regarding cases where the player attempts to over-shorten the line. Ropes connecting to limited range objects such as spars will now better respect the max/min distances, capping rope retraction to the minimum distance between objects. This can result in slightly less tautness in ropes, but should be more controllable in most cases.

Made numerous adjustments to rigging joints, rigidbodies, and colliders to hopefully improve stability. Also increased the global physics iterations somewhat. This may cost a few frames, but should result in more stable components.

Added a function to the base of sail/rigging/cloth component that attempts to track positional data in a performant way. Consider this in testing. The aim is to intercept cases of rigging/cloth 'explosions' where depenetration/collisions enters a feedback loop that will see your ship skyrim-giant-victim its way into low orbit. This *should* cause the intertia of rigging components to reset to nil, and reposition rigidbodies to their starting positions if any component exceeds its limits dramatically. This does not currently effect junk/tanja rigs, as the nature of their reef mechanics makes this a bit more complicated, but if it tests successfully the solution will apply to them later.
