Announcement Slice of Life Update Part 2 & Server Updates - March 24th, 2023
- By KimiNoUso
Slice of Life Part 2, Bug Fixes, and Server Updates • 3.64
Over the past month, we've been hard at work to finish clearing the backlog we've worked through over the last year following the major updates to the last legacy system on our list of incompatible and dated systems from 2018; 'Attributes'.
Due to the modernisation of our older systems being complete, our approach to development for SchoolRP has changed. We've moved our 'Update Timeline' away from trello and onto a Notion page which will display more detailed information about active or ongoing development. With this, we will also start to document each and every system on this Notion page which will help newer and older players understand how to make use of the many features we've implemented over the years.
Slice of Life Update Part 2
In our most recent 'Slice of Life' update, we added systems to enable 'Phone Signal' which only affects those who are in event zones, jail, detention or inside of the sewers. Your Phone's signal has 4 states; Full bars, Low bars, No signal, and Unknown.
In places like jail and event zones, your phone may experience 'No Signal' which completely disables your ability to use cellular features such as calling, or texting. Whereas, entering the sewers will only give 'Low bars' which means you'll still be able to use cellular phone features, however some messages may be obfuscated; made unintelligible, similar to drunk messages.
You can see your phone signal on the right-hand side of your action bar, along with your wallet.
Time System Changes
Many of you may have noticed the changes to your UI (User Interface) in-game. These changes were made to help make things easier to understand & modernise SchoolRP, this was an older update we had planned for Summer from our backlog.
You may notice that your current time is now set to a 12-hour clock by default, however you can change this back by sending the command '/timeformat'. Along with this, the temperature is no longer displayed in anticipation for a weather update we're working on in the background which will include a forecast! Nevertheless, you'll be able to see whether it's storming, raining, or sunny outside by looking at the icon beside your time.
You may also notice a location section which will display your location accurate to Karakura's lore and the name of certain buildings.
Fishing Changes
After a recent fishing update, we've changed the way you catch and sell fish in-game. On top of this, you are now able to cook fish using an oven, giving them more than just monetary purpose.
This new fishing system gamifies fishing and helps to prevent people AFK farming. Although this might make fishing take much longer for some, some of the fishing sale prices have been upped to reflect the amount of time taken.
By completing fishing levels, you are now given the Luck potion effect every 50 levels (similar to swim and acrobatics) which will allow you to catch fish at faster rates.
This long awaited update has been on our backlog for sometime, however it's now possible to place certain items in your house, apartment, etc!
You can purchase custom furniture from Fernando's Furniture located beside the 11/7 behind school. Some furniture items can be used as a seat, and eventually others may have other abilities such as their own menus; we will soon be moving printers, bins, etc. over to this system as well. You can also purchase custom furniture if Fenando's Furniture doesn't suit all of your needs.
