Announcement(s)
Opening the Discussions page!
The Discussions page is now open. Important Cobalt announcement for mod makers will be posted there from now on. There is also a category to offer suggestions for future changes or improvements when desirable, so consider giving it a look!
I invite you to read the opening post to find out how we'll use it in the future.
Deprecating the binary MSBT patch format
Our first big announcement is that the old MSBT patching format will be deprecated in approximately 2 weeks starting from today.
Now, before you start groaning about having to update your mods, please hear us out on the reasons for this and what can be done about it, as well as what happens if you don't go through it.
This is the first large-scale feature deprecation for Cobalt and probably not the last one, but we usually won't ask this of you unless this is to make things simpler and more approachable down the line.
We'll also try to give a larger deadline for future deprecations, but this specific case has a large influence on the speed of the game when it comes to the speed to load files and removing it as early as possible is preferable.
As a reminder, future announcements such as this one will now be made in the Discussions page so you do not need to join a server to keep up with the news.
