Hello all. This post is here to shed some light on the current state of development for TF in 2022.
Currently, we are not on track for the 1.18 release, but significant headroom has been made in terms of getting ourselves ready for it. @"videogamesm12"#4 has been hard at work getting the 1.17 update officially released; as of today, the branch has been cleared to merge up into development and subsequentially be merged up into the main branch and a release cut for build-name "Phoenix". For clarification, the build currently running on freedom-01 is a development build and not officially supported by development. Following this, the 1.18 update will entail the conversion of the entire verification system to UUIDs instead of IPs. This change means that impostors will be a thing of the past, however this will also take some community effort. We will be opening the dev-freedom-02 server to all players two weeks before the release date to bug-test TFM 1.18, and we request that you join the development server at least once so that we may utilize that time to convert all user data to the new UUID system.
Plots are underway; unfortunately there is no decided ETA for the update, but we are working on bringing that up to date as well.
Something that I will be introducing and using very frequently is the term "priority threshold". In layman's terms, the priority threshold is a list of the highest priority changes for the Freedom-01 server and gamemode. In the future, I will be updating this post with regular transparency updates, and this field below will be updated any time the priority threshold changes.
CURRENT PRIORITY THRESHOLD:
- Exploit Patch - Invalid Namespaced Keys on Entities
Currently, on the block once these two things are completed, we will be taking a look at LibsDisguises and potentially changing how it functions compared to previous TotalFreedom versions. We will also be taking a look at bringing EssentialsX up to date. There are other things at work here as well such as bug fixing and exploit patching, but those will remain behind the scenes until they are successfully applied.
