ChangeLog/1.8: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:54, 9 February 2008

Note: Items in italics denote additions that were not mentioned in the official changelog.

Skirmish HUD control's colors are now correctly displayed.
Skirmish HUD updates on each kill again.
Station names are now being displayed in inventory tree list.
Border Skirmish stats displayed in neat table in mission log (more uses of this to come).
Multithreaded OpenGL is disabled by default with new VO installs on Mac OS when there is only one cpu.
Plugins: Text lengths are now properly calculated when \127o is used at the end of the text. This was causing some text to word-wrap prematurely.
Cargo dropped in sectors already full of cargo will try to "combine" with a nearby cargo box of the same type; this dramatically reduces the number of cargo boxes in sectors where large battles take place and increases frame rate

WARNING: TargetLS users (and maybe others) will need to disable those plugins until they can be updated!
Casualties HUD element in Hive Skirmish missions
Group-leaving on mission end/abort fixed
Better emulation of skirmishes in non-running sectors
Tuning of Hive and NPC numbers in Skirmishes for more appropriate difficulty levels
Initial re-tuning of shield settings following the removal of the turret-multiplier-effect
More stats being kept for Border Skirmish
IUP change to better handle detaching z/h/vboxes (plugin authors see Community projects forum)

Swarm trail effects get removed when changing sectors or logging out
Misc lua interface fixes (see community projects forum tomorrow)
Mission HUD text properly left-justified again
Mission menu backgrounds back to normal
Fixed bug in handling of friendly-kills by npcs in Border and Hive Skirmish
No more N times damage to shields where N is the number of turrets within a blast area (no more soloing the levi)
Border Skirmish and Battle max-casualties changed from 1k each to 2k and 3k respectively (Battles happen at midnight GMT Sundays)
Queens in Hive Strongholds now contribute to the Levi's shield recharge rate (along with Bastion queens)
Stronghold queens don't try to defend the Levi now (until defend action works better)
Serco/Itani HAC instead of frigate1/2 in BS messages

Two new hives, centered in Metana and Rhamus
Jump point indicator icon moved out about 200m so that it doesn't disappear behind you the instant you can activate
Fixed bug where jump point indicator would be mixed up at the moment storms started/ended
Linux joystick calibration utility disabled; it didn't work at all but we will fix it!
