MSCO changelog, page 3

The monthly update of November is here! Dimitrov has mainly worked on fixing user reported bugs, most of which him and me weren’t able to simulate which made it really difficult to figure out the bug cause. We added multiple safeguards to the reports in mind and hope that they have managed to fix it. Other than that we have added improvements to the mod playability and visuals. Please brace for a big Christmas update 4.2 in December!

Mod Features

• Improved UI elements and re-did skin tab (Credit: diehy)
• Improved floor jack to sync car location when lifting
• Improved MSC Loader compatibility (more client-side mods work)*
• Resynced vehicle brake lights
• Resynced vehicle indicator lights
• Minor optimizations of network and UI code

Mod Bug Fixes

• Fixed respawn issues
  • Fixed dying on bike randomly
  • Fixed freezing after dying (unable to simulate with our new safeguards)
• Fixed Satsuma making sound sometimes without being on, and ignition bugging out
• Fixed car doors and mostly boots sometimes getting stuck shut
• Fixed UI elements showing for all players instead of just the interacting player
• Added safeguard to stop player arms ripping off

* The client-side mods that now work better are CarryMore, Save without exiting, Cheatbox, Show bolt sizes, Minimap, GrabAnything

Appreciate the support and we’re looking forward to your feedback as always!

This patch focuses mainly on bug fixes and optimization. There were many requests to add MOP support back however we have done one better by implementing similar optimizations that MOP offers directly to MSCO. Sadly this isn’t a big update, dimitrov had a blue screen incident which caused a lot of progress to be lost which he will redo in a couple of weeks, these mostly addressed Satsuma bugs such as liquids draining randomly, battery bugs, items detaching after saving, etc.

Mod Features

• Added new system that stops items from falling out of cars
  • Removed boot freeze area
  • Items may jitter for others (being worked on)
• Added MOP-style optimizations
  • Optimized player cars
  • Optimized AI cars
  • Optimized places like shop, inspection, etc
  • FPS increase up to 40%
• Added safeguard system to stop Satsuma exploding
• Improved sync for consumables
• Improved sync for car ignition and stalling

Mod Bug Fixes

• Fixed players dying on small bumps whilst driving
• Fixed players dying when car gets hit by items
• Fixed bug where sometimes players couldn’t pick up items
  • Solved player arm animation to items
• Fixed main menu bug that didn’t show MSCO UI

Appreciate the support and we’re looking forward to your feedback as always!

For this update we primarily focused on fixing bugs that were ruining some experiences and for this we weren’t able to get the Rally and jobs/progression synced as much as we had hoped, however, these will be our next focus and be included in the next update which should be out in the next couple of weeks.

Mod Features

• Added the ability for all players to order from the magazine in garage (instead of only host)
• Improved player vehicles
  • Players can now re-drive the same car they died in
  • Passengers will also die now from car crashes
• Improved NPC vehicles
  • Added sync to Rally cars
• Improved Jobs sync
  • Synced sewage jobs
  • Synced granny jobs
  • Synced strawberry field job
  • Wood and hay jobs can be done individually
• Added “/givemoney [name] [amount]” chat command to let players give others money
• Changed ‘givemoney’ console command to ‘addmoney’
• Respawning costs player 20-50mk instead of 100mk

Mod Bug Fixes

• Fixed respawn system
  • Players won’t keep dying randomly
  • Dying on Jonnez bike is now the same as any vehicle
• Fixed bug where players didn’t see NPC vehicles at the same time
• Fixed Pub shop sync
• Fixed slots and pub purchases splitting cash
• Fixed various Satsuma bugs

Appreciate the support and we’re looking forward to your feedback as always!

This build aims to bring MSCO closer to being in 1:1 sync with player progression as well as addressing some serious bugs and system overhauls. Please note that we will be working hard over the next couple of weeks to get the entire 4.1 update out to everyone else which will have more features and optimizations.

4.1 Preview Features

• Added the ability for all players to order from the magazine in garage (instead of only host)

  • Players can now re-drive the same car they died in
  • Passengers will also die now from car crashes

Appreciate the support and we’re looking forward to your feedback as always!

I would like to firstly apologise for the 1 month delay for this patch. The developer (dimitrov) who was assigned to make this update has had personal difficulties putting time towards the mod and was only able to complete the notes listed below. Due to this, I will now be taking back over the developer role to keep MSCO moving forward. Starting with a major (4.1) update that will bring sync for all if not most jobs, by the end of August.

Dear precious closed beta members, we are sorry for the delay in fixing the new issue that arrived with the latest My Summer Car Steam update that had to do with the Satsuma primarily. There were fundamental changes that needed new solutions for us to create and implement, and we have finally accomplished it today. Thank you for your patience.

Hi there, I have come back to push out a hotfix for the spark plugs bug that has been caused by the recent My Summer Car update, unfortunately I have noticed that car enter/leave function is also buggy sometimes and that the Satsuma overheats on normal speeds, and may stop working because of that. I will work with dimitrov to release an update that addresses many problems within a week or two.

The May monthly patch primarily focused on bug fixes reported by our users! We fixed the most common and disrupting bugs as well as provide some improvements to play. We apologize for the lack of updates which were caused by a developer change. The promised mod support and more will be coming very very soon.

The monthly patch for April is out, we have changed world sync on our progress page from orange to green as we have finally added Weather sync. This patch focuses mainly on minor fixes and addons however we are preparing a big update which will introduce mod support to MSCO. Stay tuned!

The long awaited update that brings sync for racing/GT parts for Satsuma is finally here! Please note that due to personal life I haven’t had much time to test everything and there may be bugs, please report them to our discord so that I can provide a patch within a week to fix any major new bugs that may have come with this update. Take care everyone and thanks for your patience!
