Update on 0.12.12

(translation by @Echo , thanks for the hard work!)

Hi everyone!

大家好呀！

A quick update from the dev side, will try to keep it short!   

长话短说，这是一个关于开发方面的进展资讯!  

More work

工程量更大了

As you all know, the game introduced Santa bot and airdrops since last release. What most of you don't know is that they also removed properties from item templates we heavily relied on, such as item credit price and rarity. This broke multiple tools and a large part of the server code. We also discovered that flea market price calculation on our side has always been wrong.

In short, there is a whole lot of work to do.

大伙应该知道，游戏在上次更新中加入了圣诞老人AI和空投，但你们可能不知道的是更新同时从templates中移除了properties，这是我们一直以来极度依赖的东西；例如物品的销售价格和稀有度。这玩意的改动让很多的开发工具和大量的服务器代码失效，与此同时我们还发现，跳蚤市场价格的计算一直是错误的。

总的来说就是，活多到干不完。

Complexity

复杂性

To highlight the complexity of the update, most of the new changes BSG made are server-side, only available on live raids. This means this data could NOT be obtained in normal ways.

– Bot information is not exchanged with the client in a live raid, meaning the santa loadout could not be obtained from the server.

– Airdrop information is not exposed to the client up until latest patch, now only available on live raids.

为了更好说明更新之后的复杂性，就是BSG在本次大多数新更改都是针对服务器端的，仅在线上可用。也就是说无法以正常方式获得这些数据。

– AI信息不会在线上与客户端交换，这意味着无法从服务器获取圣诞老人AI的配装数据。

– 空投信息直到现在也没有公开给客户端，只在线上服务器可用。

Progression

进展

Chomp and I reversed engineered both. He found the bot type, I obtained the bot data and found the default airdrop info inside the client. Together we implemented them into the server. Only problem is… the latest changes from BSG in data broke the container loot generator, so we can't yet spawn the loot properly.

In addition, I merged another optimization I made for EasyBundlePatch which should speed up loading of custom bundles a little bit and Waffle.Lord moved the launcher to use xdelta, which should result in faster patching and much smaller patchsets. Chomp fixed scavs not being able to load into the game, and terkoiz fixed price display of flea market.

我和Chomp把这俩都反向工程了，他得到了最新的AI种类，我获得了AI的数据，并在客户端中找到了默认的空投信息，我俩把这些玩意嘎嘎整合到服务器中，唯一的问题是BSG在最近的更新中改变了容器内战利品的生成方式，所以现在还不能正常生成物资。

此外，我还整合了我为EasyBundlePatch所做的另一个优化，该优化将稍微加快MOD（例如KMC和二公主的皮肤MOD）的加载速度，Waffle.Lord把启动器改为使用xdelta，这样一来会让启动器更加轻量化且便捷。Chomp修复了SCAV无法工作的问题，Terkoiz修复了跳蚤市场的价格显示问题。

Community contributions

社区成员的贡献

Thanks to the Styrr, we now have daily quests in the server and submitted a fix for revolvers (something BSG haven't even implemented themselves yet!). CWX submitted a PR for increasing AFK time and shirito & revingly are working together on improving the item finder website.

多亏了Styrr，咱现在有了每日任务，并且上传了左轮类武器的修复补丁（BSG自己还没搞明白咋修）。CWX提交了一份增加AFK时间的PR，shirito和Revively正在合作编辑物品大全wiki。

Closing words

结束语

I know the wait is long for a stable release, but we rather want to ship something more stable than an active development build with many issues. The current state of the project isn't stable enough to ship as bleedingedge build. So please bear with us as we're working on the update!

我知道大伙等正式版都已经等着急了，但是我们更希望发布一个更稳定的版本，而不是一个有很多问题的动态开发版本。项目当前的状态不够稳定，无法作为BleedingEdge Build发布。所以请大家耐心等待我们的更新！
