| == This is Vendetta version 1.2.3.2. == | | __NOTOC__ |
| | This page hosts the ChangeLogs for Vendetta Online, chronicling its evolution from release through present day. |
| | ==[[ChangeLog/1.8]] (Current)== |
| | The 1.8 series opened with the complete removal of [[DELIVERATOR]] and its replacement by [[KOURIER]]. With this new infrastructure in place, many new missions were released, and large-scale combat was revamped with Border Skirmish and Hive changes. Other notable changes include the partial opening of the game's LUA scripting interface and the release and/or incorporation of many user-created interface plugins. Graphically, the game got a major boost with the "Super High" background rendering mode, detail textures, and translucent ice. Next, the developers partnered with TeamSpeak to add a long-requested feature to Vendetta Online: voice chat. In a short period, the developers introduced several other long-awaited features: multi-player ships and dynamically conquerable territory. The next year or so of the 1.8 series was spent on the Android release, which brought a much-needed influx of fresh blood. Once that was out the door, Guild brought out two of the longest-awaited features of all: giant stations (>25km across) and user-pilotable capital ships. After a brief interlude on a failed [http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/guild/vendetta-online/ kickstarter campaign], Guild released VO for two more platforms (iPad and Ouya). In 2015, the rendering engine gained the ability to do modern (circa 2004), shader-based dynamic lighting and shadows |

|
| Changes from 1.2.3.1:
| | ==[[ChangeLog/1.7]]== |
| * Re-introduced race tracks in Sedina B5, D5, E5, F5, G5, & H5
| | The 1.7 series made the new station interface, which had been first introduced in 1.6, the default interface for all characters. This series also brought many new missions to the game, with a new in-game mission interface and the introduction of the [[Player Contribution Corps]], a group of players who are given access to the mission editor. Also new in this release series was a replacement for the venerable [[Wraith]], the new [[Revenant]]. Finally. the 1.7 series also introduced some oft-requested features like shields for capital ships and repair costs which varied depending on amount of damage to repair and distance from a station that sold the required parts. |
| * Fixed more capital ship bugs:
| |
| ** Turret fire no longer hits the turret itself while the ship is moving
| |
| ** Docking bay activation now has priority over wormhole activation
| |
| ** Fixed turret view getting stuck just after warp
| |
| ** Fixed launch velocity/direction when undocking
| |
| ** Storm exit point is properly generated when you undock
| |
| * Other capital ship changes:
| |
| ** Hailing a capital ship will now stop it for 30 seconds so you can dock to it (if you have permission to do so)
| |
| ** The "distance" bar at the bottom of the HUD now shows the capital ship's health while controlling a turret
| |
| ** Firing arc of turret increased to 150 degrees
| |
| ** If you're unable to take control of a turret, a more descriptive reason is given
| |
| ** The "bar" inside the ship is now the "ready room"
| |
| ** Players are now kicked out of the ship if they lose enough faction by shooting people with the turret
| |
| ** Joystick control works differently (relative instead of absolute) and keyboard control has been added
| |
|
| |
|
| == This is Vendetta version 1.2.3.1. == | | ==[[ChangeLog/1.6]]== |
| | Vendetta 1.6 introduced the PDA and the current station interface. This series also changed the look of the game quite a bit by changing the way lighting is done to be more realistic. Many players feel that this change resulted in a darker, moodier atmosphere. |
|
| |
|
| Changes from 1.2.3:
| | ==[[ChangeLog/1.5]]== |
| * Fixed several capital ship related bugs:
| | Version 1.5 introduced the new client to the game, along with the first major revamp of the station interface since alpha version 3.2.0. Many other new features were also added in this series, such as the [[TPG Raptor]], [[Teradon]] and the [[EC-89]]. |
| ** Parts of your HUD disappeared after you had been a turret
| |
| ** If you logged out and in again, you could spawn inside the body of the capital ship
| |
| ** There were various ways of getting stuck in the loading screen (or nav menu) during capital ship warps
| |
| ** The capital ship would sometimes erroneously take damage while warping out, and explode instantly after arriving on the other side of the warp
| |
| * Fixed rendering bug when viewing valkyries/marauders/etc in the station
| |
|
| |
