These weeks, we look at community events, plugin progress, Salamander animation and spot to site migration.

Ongoing (unmerged) work is happening on zone balancing, mage tower, vampire castle, terracotta ruins, a burning pot model, learnable recipes, inventory overflow, rain extinguishing burning, Salamander AI, Torvus, Taverns, antigravity potions, and item merging.

New web site layout

@Walpo put significant effort into a modernization of the Veloren web site, now licensing became explicit, the blog posts got a new template and linking to streamable videos became more convenient.

Thank you for pushing this through, @Walpo!

Community events

On November the 3rd @Hrom and @necti organized a Team vs Team death-match on the party island docks.

Two weeks later there was an underground chicken fighting

WECW plugin content

You can find @EvanMeek's plugin here on Codeberg. The original WECW, a Veloren fork, can be found here.

It adds new axes and hammers,

… and panda armor

and more

We found that internationalization is needed for plugins as well:

Adapting the model offset needs reloading for fast feedback - which isn't yet implemented, and the plugin manifest merging seems to have broken hot-reloading.
