Changelog:
1.5.2.0:
- CLIENT: Fixed a possible reset of the key bindings
- MOD: Radio placement: new default keys Ctrl + Num 5 and Ctrl + Num 0
1.5.1.0:
- CLIENT: Added experimental support for macOS and Linux
- CLIENT: Added an option to start FarmVoice automatically with Windows (client: General settings)
- CLIENT: Migrated the client to a new framework and redesigned it. This was required to enable macOS and Linux support
- MOD: Added the new FarmOS CB-10 vehicle radio. It can be installed in vehicles as a shop configuration and supports Interactive Control (IC)
- MOD: Added the new FarmOS HT-5 handheld radio (shop: hand tools). While holding the radio: Left mouse button = Talk, middle mouse button = Radio menu, [ (Ü on German keyboards) = On/Off
- MOD: Replaced the game setting "Radio only in vehicle" with "Radio usage", offering three options: Everywhere, Vehicles only and Bought radio only
- ALL: The HT-5 has a shorter range than the vehicle radio and features its own small-speaker sound. Players standing nearby can quietly hear radio traffic from a switched-on HT-5
- MOD: With "Bought radio only" enabled, carrying an HT-5 allows radio use on foot. In vehicles, an installed CB-10 is required
- MOD & CLIENT: With "Bought radio only" enabled, the radio channel is saved individually for each vehicle with an installed CB-10
- MOD & CLIENT: Added the new FarmOS FM-24 radio mast (shop: placeables) and the game setting "Network coverage (radio masts)" with the options Off, Phone only and Phone + radio
- MOD & CLIENT: When network coverage is enabled, reception is only available near a placed radio mast. Full signal is available up to 400 m, with a maximum range of 1.1 km. At the edge of the coverage area, static and voice dropouts occur. Without a radio mast, phone calls are unavailable and radio transmissions are limited to static. The farm that bought and placed the mast receives monthly site rent
- MOD & CLIENT: Global and private radio channels are not affected by radio mast coverage
- MOD: Added a home bar to the call screen. Clicking it minimizes the call, allowing the phone to be used during an ongoing conversation
- MOD: Added a phone model. The character now visibly holds a phone while the phone app is open or during a call
- MOD: Added the new "Weather" phone app. It displays the current weather and upcoming weather changes by day, including time, duration and temperature. Optional alerts can be enabled for rain/thunderstorms/hail, snow and storms, with 1, 2 or 4 hours of advance warning
- MOD: Added the new "Market" phone app. It displays the best selling price for each crop and its selling point, your stored quantities and all selling points. Price alerts can be configured for individual crops with a custom target price
- MOD & CLIENT: Weather and price alerts are delivered like SMS messages with their own soft notification sound. The phone briefly pops up when an alert arrives. Notifications are suppressed while sleeping. Each weather change and each crop can trigger a maximum of one notification per day
- MOD: Improved player and server pairing
- MOD: Adjusted the radio HUD to match the vehicle radio
