| | |

| * New prototype dynamic economy in the Orion Mining station located in [[Latos#N-2|Latos N-2]]. Locally produced goods are now manufactured at a fixed rate, and can be depleted; non-local goods arrive only by NPC Trade Convoy or Player Trading. Any commodities, ships, and addons sold to the station become available for purchase, but currently retain the common pre-requisites for the respective item (Level, Faction Standing, etc). As the quantity of an item increases, the price drops, and vice versa. Custom items such as event trophies cannot be sold to the station at this time.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.347 ==
| |
| * Updater and game client now use a threaded getaddrinfo to look up the server's IP address; if DNS fails to resolve within 10 seconds, it will fall back to a visible error, instead of using OS timeouts.
| |
| * Updater now directly uses the patch cloud hostname, instead of redirecting through vendetta-online.com.
| |
| * Hive Stronghold sectors idle timeout is set to 5 minutes, a more reasonable length of time to return and pick up Leviathan drops.
| |
| * OpenGL driver restores the window title if it has to be recreated for video option changes.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.346.1/2 ==
| |
| * Fixed lua error when automatically docking to stations.
| |
| * Fixed lua error when a player dies outside of your scanner range while you are in a station.
| |
| * Fixed lua error when ship preset is corrupt.
| |
| * Fixed lua error related to plugins when they plot routes using strings instead of numbers.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.346 ==
| |
| * Changed the 'Route' button in the Mission Info to 'Dock' and displays text saying to dock to the local station to accept the mission when clicked.
| |
| * The "PLAYER_DIED" lua event now triggers for anyone who dies within your sensor range (15km). Chat messages are only displayed if you are the victim or the killer.
| |
| * After un-docking from your own persistent capship, your capship now retains current velocity and slows to a stop, instead of stopping immediately.
| |
| * Jumping into a sector and landing directly into a capship docking bay no longer auto-docks your ship.
| |
| * Fixed typo in Training Neutron Blaster description.
| |
| * Also, server-side changes from this week: new production database system, new game webserver, etc.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.345 ==
| |
| * Removed older, deprecated method of creating account from within the game client.
| |
| * Other background changes to make possible an upcoming server migration.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.344.2 ==
| |
| * Fixed DirectX 11 anti-aliasing settings for some GPUs.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.344.1 ==
| |
| * Fixed joystick input on the Windows version.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.344 ==
| |
| * Mitigated issue with Mac OS X mouse cursor when cmd-tabbing in fullscreen.
| |
| * Windows version now built with a better optimizing compiler, some performance improvements should be evident.
| |
| * Fixed intermittent sector crashes.
| |
| * Fixed a rare potential issue with /vote mute.
| |
| * NPCs now require more collision damage to be applied to them before they will consider the attacker a threat.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.343 ==
| |
| * New station designs for [[Sol II#H-13|Sol II H-13]].
| |
| * Added anti-aliasing and gamma correction to the Mac OpenGL 4 driver. The Linux version already has anti-aliasing.
| |
| * Added ability to manually set the screen rotation on Android. The option is in Advanced -> Controls -> Input and has Landscape, Reverse Landscape and Sensor Landscape as the three options.
| |
| * NPC capships now target and attack PC capships with their primary weapons.
| |
| * Optimizations to multi-threaded rendering.
| |
| * Multi-threaded rendering is now default to enabled on DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4 versions. When switching to those drivers, a restart of the client is required to enable multi-threaded rendering. The setting can be turned off by editing the config.ini file and adding <code>multithreaded=0</code> in the <code>[Vendetta]</code> section.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.342 ==
| |
| * New station designs for [[Itan#J-11|Itan J-11]] and [[Odia#M-14|Odia M-14]].
| |
| * Six missions updated in the LAR Project tree, substantially improving issues with the Stygian Furies.
| |
| * The mission "Rush job! Ores and minerals needed" may now be re-taken (Xang Xi Research locations, Respect standing) to acquire the Xang-Xi Self Propelled Concussion Mine Launcher. Mission is available once per week, per character.
| |
| * Concussion Railgun grid power requirements dropped from 12 to 9, allowing dual-usage on the Raptor UDV, etc.
| |
| * Rendering optimizations for the new DX11 and GL4 engines. On some machines, that are more CPU-limited, these updates can make a big speed difference. More related improvements next week.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.341 ==
| |
| * Please rate the Android version! The Android version gives the choice to review the app when docking to a non-training station after 10 minutes of being online or after an in-app purchase. You can choose to have it ask again later (one week later) or never.
| |
| * Android version now supports both landscape modes. Requires Play Store App Update or sideload update. The Amazon Store version will come out at a later date.
| |
| * Added Video driver options to change the number of dynamic lights and toggle shadows in the DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4 drivers.
| |
| * Fixed a crash when switching from OpenGL 4 to the OpenGL Reference driver when multithreaded rendering is enabled and the glow effect is on.
| |
| * Border Skirmish [[Teradon]] firing distance has been lengthened and the average combat distance is shortened by 100 meters.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.340 ==
| |
| * New station design for Dau L10, more carefully integrating the Capship Hangar components. In the future, there will be more fully-customized stations replacing those with recently added capship hangars.
| |
| * Experimental: Fog and radar limitations now impact bot's targeting visibility and aggression. However, this may have undesirable secondary effects, and may require on-going tweaks and changes. Strikeforce NPCs have integrated radar extenders.
| |
| * Maximum rentable cargo capacity of new capship-capable stations now increased to 100,000 cu. Existing cost thresholds for extended cargo space still apply.
| |
| * When a Trident pilot switches to a turret view, the local (Trident) ship is now properly visible.
| |
| * When launching from a Trident while it is mining, the ore is now properly placed into the Trident's cargo hold.
| |
| * Fixed a bug where a persistent Trident may collide with the player's copy during the change-over.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.339 ==
| |
| * Fixed Deneb War Stats web page. The dates were off by one day under certain circumstances.
| |
| * Integrated Mineral Scanner on ships can now be used for the prospecting missions.
| |
| * Changed Conquerable station under attack warning timeout to 5 minutes from 1 hour and report each station separately.
| |
| * Improved Updater robustness when unable to write to storage.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.338 ==
| |
| * Added a larger mouse cursor for Retina and other high-res displays.
| |
| * All cargo nested within ships inside of capships will now drop when the capship explodes.
| |
| * NPCs can no longer turbo or jump/warp out of a sector if their energy level is too low.
| |
| * Mac OS X Updater no longer crashes if there is no network connection.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.337 ==
| |
| * Fixed issue with queens and its escorts getting reset to full health when the idle-sector timeout occurs.
| |
| * Idle-sector timeout experimentally reduced back down to 30 seconds, except for conquerable station sectors which retain their 5 minute timeout.
| |
| * Improved fallback resiliency of the game launcher/updater under certain conditions, particularly on Android.
| |
| * Android version now includes a call to help translate the game, on non-English devices (vendetta-online.com/translate).
| |
| * Geo-located patch servers are now back into usage, including two in Europe. For best results, we recommend using your ISP's local nameserver, and *not* a global public provider like Google DNS or OpenDNS.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.336 ==
| |
| * New temporary placeholder "capship" stations in: Itan J11, Dau L10, Sol H13 and Odia M14. These will allow Trident owners to dock with these major capitols. The station configurations will be changing to something more customized to each sector (and nearby hazards, like asteroids), but for the moment they each have the same capship-hangar module, attached to the existing station.
| |
| * Idle-sector timeout experimentally reduced from 5 minutes to 30 seconds, to potentially reduce server ram usage in high-concurrency situations (very large numbers of players). As we have recently made mines, capships and other content persistent, this change should not have a significant gameplay impact. Note, this is simply the sector-shutdown that occurs after all players have already left a given location.
| |
| * Experimental "emergency instancing" added to all sectors: if a very large number of players should congregate in a single sector, additional players "jumping in" will be transparently sent to a secondary instance of the same sector, to better distribute load across the server cloud. This will only be an emergency-level tool to help deal with unexpected peak loads of huge numbers of new players (mobile-platform promotions, etc), and we'll be doing updated stress- testing to set it as high as possible. It can be dynamically defined on the server-side, to support very large future player-events, as needed.
| |
| * Fixes to server-side issues related to players getting stuck at "entering universe" during the login process.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.335.2 ==
| |
| * Fixed crash on startup of Android version when running on Atom-based devices.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.335/.1 ==
| |
| * [[Weapons:Small#Power_Cell_Blaster|PowerCell Blaster]] has been buffed to 215 velocity, 8 energy per shot, 60 drain.
| |
| * We are now accepting Character Nation Change requests again. Once per character, per lifetime, submitted by Support Ticket. The character inventory will be WIPED (ships, items), but credits and stats will remain. Be sure to sell your character's inventory before requesting a Nation Change.
| |
| * We are in the process of moving to a much more robust and distributed patch-update architecture. However, the transition may continue to have some bumps as we discover and resolve issues. Please be patient with any connection delays.
| |
| * Updated the secure-HTTP connection functionality of the Android version, and added it to all other platforms and versions. Will help enable future game features.
| |
| * Training Sector Beam Cannon defenses have been significantly buffed, to reduce threats to newbies by more advanced player capships.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.334 ==
| |

| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.333 ==
| |
| * Raptor UDV gains integrated Cargo and Addon scanners (2000m range), as well as Mineral and Temperature scanners (300m range).
| |
| * New Training Neutron Blaster MkII is available in all capitol stations. The same stats as a Neutron MkII, with only one damage.
| |
| * Training Sunflare Launcher also added to capitol stations. Same stats, but 15 damage.
| |
| * The Windows Updater now waits until the game is finished starting up before exiting. This is an attempt to fix the issue with DirectX 11 sometimes not entering full screen on startup.
| |
| * Fixed freeze when alt-tabbing back to the game after taking a screenshot with the /dump command on Windows.
| |
| * Added a setting to the Mac OpenGL 4 driver to try to get it to choose the discrete GPU instead of the integrated GPU.
| |
| * Android touch inputs that start while in space, and end in the station, will no longer activate any station buttons. This should avoid situations like accidentally triggering the Launch button just after docking.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.332 ==
| |
| * New higher-definition asteroids for [[Verasi#I-5|Verasi I-5]] (and elsewhere), on PC versions.

| |
| * Extreme Drain Power Cell has been buffed to 52/sec generation.
| |
| * Auto Aim for Turret weapons has been changed to use weapon stats rather than a fixed AA threshold.
| |
| * Major changes to improve the robustness of billing support on Play Store and Amazon, which will require installation of APK updates from those stores. Please report any new billing problems as soon as possible.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.330 ==
| |
| * Raptor UDV thrust increased from 215 to 225.
| |
| * Renamed "Gatling Turrets" to "Gatling Cannon" MkII and MkIII.
| |
| * New "Gatling Turret" created for actual turret usage, by small vessels with turret capabilities.
| |
| * Fixed problems with collision hulls for recently-updated, high-def asteroids on PC platforms.
| |
| * Fixed Voice Chat menu size issue on Android.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.329 ==
| |

| |
| * The wireframe radar extender effect is now visible in DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.
| |
| * The Windows executable binaries are now signed with a certificate.
| |
| * The DirectX 11 version now uses a different shadow technique (Poisson PCF with slope-based depth bias), also implemented across all OpenGL 4 versions.
| |
| * Very experimental, optional OpenGL 4 driver added to MacOS X. Switching drivers is a little strange, and a full game re-start may be needed to avoid graphics corruption. We're still working on it, this is an optional early-access, use at your own risk
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.326 ==
| |
| * Fixed the capship shield effect not rendering properly.

| |
| * Increased usability of gamepads to navigate through the UI using mostly just the D-Pad and A button. The D-Pad now performs a key repeat for quicker scrolling.
| |
| * D-Pad Left/Right no longer scrolls up/down. Instead they switch to the previous/next control.
| |
| * Changed the default mouse-over/focus highlighting of buttons and tabs to be more noticeable.
| |
| | |

| * API enhancements for Android and AndoidTV.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.322 ==
| |
| * Added prototype shadows to Linux OpenGL 4 driver. This implementation differs from the DirectX 11 version in that it uses a Percentage Closer Filter with a Poisson distribution to anti-alias the shadows.
| |
| * Added dynamic light sources to more "neon-style" signs, visible in the prototype DX11 or OpenGL drivers.
| |
| * Decreased the font size of the account conversion menu for mobile devices.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.321/.1 ==
| |
| * Added dynamic light sources to many of the "neon-style" floating signs, visible in the prototype DX11 or OpenGL drivers.
| |
| * New sound effects: Avalon Torpedo impact/explosions, queen and capship explosions, and special Heavy Assault Cruiser explosion effects.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.320/.1 ==
| |
| * Preliminary dynamic lights have been added to the docking and launch bays.
| |
| * Fixed the glow effect so it isn't so over-bright.
| |
| * Shadowmap cascade levels are consolidated into 1 texture atlas instead of 4 separate textures.
| |
| * Tweaked the shadow cascade transition to be more subtle.
| |
| * Tweaked render state changes in the DirectX 11 driver.
| |
| * Ice asteroids and solar panels now receive shadows.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.319 ==
| |
| * Fixed long blank screen pause when switching video drivers.
| |
| * Fixed performance issue for DirectX 11 driver when not rendering the station behind the station interface.
| |
| * Improved and tweaked shadow settings for DirectX 11 driver. Shadows are now anti-aliased and the darkness of shadows has been decreased further.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.318.1 ==
| |
| * Fixed Windows crash on startup.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.318 ==
| |
| * Tweaked the shadow cascade level distance calculations to improve quality.
| |
| * Decreased the darkness of the shadows.
| |
| * Removed shadows in fog sectors.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.317 ==
| |
| * Very "beta" prototype implementation of Shadows, for DirectX 11 only (OpenGL will require some changes and will come later). Contains numerous known artifacts, bugs and things that need tweaking. Made available as a demo-prototype only, to let people see something we have cooking.
| |
| | |
| To disable shadows if the framerate is too low, type "`/set rdoshadows 0`" (without quotes) in the console or chat.
| |
| | |
| For those interested in rendering tech, this is a test using cascaded variance shadow maps, and is not necessarily the final algorithm we may choose (and even if we did choose to use this, there would be many tweaks and fixes). We're in an R&D phase on much of this rendering technology.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.316.1 ==
| |
| * Temporarily removed the rate request dialog for mobile devices.
| |

| |
| * Added dynamic lighting to asteroid mining effect.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.311 ==

| |
| * Fixed problem with dynamic lights sometimes not being removed.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.310 ==

| |
| * Fixed Android crash on startup.
| |
| * Fixed crash when quitting the client.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.308 ==

Multiple dynamic lights are enabled with this driver if your GPU supports DirectX 11-level features. Dynamic lights include weapon fire, rocket/missile/ship exhaust, and explosions. Note: The Oculus Rift has not been tested in DirectX 11 mode.
| |
| * Corvus Greyhound (and Painted variants) changed from 250 to 190 thrust, 8250 to 7500 armor
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.307 ==
| |
| * Fixed weapon hit-check failures.
| |
| * Masked off the regions near the HUD's touch controls from being used for touch-targeting so it is more difficult to accidentally change your target while flying.
| |
| * Linux OpenGL drivers now use the pbuffer extension if available for off-screen rendering.
| |
| * Fixed incorrect Vendetta Online logo size when loading the different Offline Training Simulator sections.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.306 ==
| |
| * Added support for Oculus Rift DK2 by updating the SDK to 0.4.2. The DK2 must be in Extended Desktop mode and rotated to 1920x1080. If you experience a massive amount of flickering, try turning off Anti-Aliasing in Options -> Video -> Antialiasing mode.

| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.305/.1 ==
| |
| * Introducing "Crystal": Vendetta Online's cash currency for Free-to-Play mobile players! Crystal may be acquired in bulk via in-app purchase, or accrued more slowly through gameplay, such as gaining experience and levels, destroying Hive Bots, and reaching Achievements. Lower level equipment requires little or no Crystal, where upper level ships and gear may have increased requirements. Crystal is used for each individual quantity of item purchased, and is in addition to Credits and other factional and license-related gameplay requirements (ie, all regular gameplay requirements remain).
| |
| ** Premium Subscription players do not need Crystal, and do not earn it through gameplay.
| |
| ** All non-Premium mobile players will retroactively receive Crystal for experience and achievements they have already earned.
| |
| ** As a special thanks to our supportive mobile players, everyone who previously made in-app purchases for access to ships and addons will receive double (2x) the Crystal that their funds would normally purchase. This has been automatically added to the most recently used character on your account.
| |
| ** The "Crystal" system replaces the previous interim "ship-access" in-app purchase method, which has been removed. Thus, it is no longer necessary to make a purchase to gain "access" to a given ship. Because Crystal can be acquired through gameplay, it further mitigates potential pay-to-win advantages between Free-to-Play users. Crystal will also make it easier for us to increase the Free-to-Play license caps in the future.
| |
| ** Free-to-Play mobile users who convert to Premium Subscribers will still retain any previously-earned Crystal if they revert to Free at a later point; but while the Premium subscription is active, the previously retained Crystal will no longer be visible, and they will not accrue additional Crystal until they have reverted to Free. - Added a new "First Kill" badge for new users, with a notification and description pop-up the first time the player docks after earning the badge.
| |
| * New simplified account conversion menu and removed the captcha.
| |

| In addition to the above, another change should be mentioned that was accidentally left out of a previous patch log. We altered PvP collision damage to do only a fraction of the damage it did previously. Thus, when player ships ram other player ships, it does less damage than when they ram stations or NPCs. This was done to help alleviate a certain exploitative tactic of PvP killing designed to avoid faction loss in monitored or guarded space. The lack of faction loss for collision deaths was itself a previous work-around for a much older exploitative tactic where players could get others to lose their faction by suiciding themselves against their enemies. So, let's hope this latest alteration removes some of the issues for the moment, until some future problem is discovered stemming from players colliding too much (heh). Until then..

| |
| * Improvements to orientation interpolation of remote ships. This should be smoother visibly under certain conditions, and also potentially remove some of the stuttering when one is turreted onto another player ship. Further improvements to interpolation will be forthcoming.
| |
| | |

| |

| == Vendetta 1.8.142 ==

| * Modified Hives: the Siepos hive now spreads through Serco territory while the Prosus hive appears in the Itani region of space. Milanar presence continues in grayspace.
| |
| * Each hive now drops unique Milanar, Prosus and Siepos Neural Nodule items, which will factor into "manufacturing" driven gameplay down the road. These nodules are easily destroyed in combat, and as a result are only a 1-in-10 chance of dropping from most hive members. Only the Leviathan, with its larger neural array, is guaranteed to drop some nodules.. but not very many.
| |
| * Fixed hive problem relating to NPC mining ships attacking instead of mining.
| |
| * Fixed hive issue with bots not respawning in the Milanar hives.
| |
| * Frame limiter is now enabled by default, set to 120 frames per second.

| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.140 ==
| |
| * Gray hive is now called the Milanar Hive, and is made entirely of specially named bots, including a new type of Collector. Many other changes will follow soon, with Siepos and Prosus hives appearing in Serco and Itani territory respectively. Different hives will have unique looks, drops, behaviours, etc. All will play into the Manufacturing (crafting) system.
| |
| * Client now includes a framerate limiter, under Options, Graphics. This can be set to a desired FPS, such as 60, to help newer hardware run cooler. It currently defaults to 0 (unlimited). The defaults will probably change to 120 once we know the feature works well.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.139 ==
| |
| * Increased detail and efficiency of some station textures.
| |

| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.137 ==
| |
| * Eight new PCC missions.
| |
| ''' New drops from Hive bots: '''
| |

| |
| * Cybernetics Grade FF (mostly Guardians, Leviathan)
| |
| * Hive Nanite Replicator (mostly Collectors, Assaults, Leviathan)
| |
| * Many more diverse drops coming, tying into crafting and other areas.
| |

| |
| * 'Killing spree', 'spy', and 'hydrospanner' missions are no longer available due to bugs.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.133 ==
| |
| * Fix for Full Screen Glow effect.

| |
| * Radar calculations are now performed in a separate thread.
| |
| * Linux32 version now requires at least a Pentium 3 and has additional optimizations.

| |
| * Fix for Linux32 bug.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.127 ==
| |
| * Significant adjustments to most of the trade items in the game, in specific regions. Many new lucrative routes opened up, both grayspace and between major Nations. Some historically worthless items may now command high values in certain locations. Route bounceback times also drastically shorter in some regions, and price drop per item significantly reduced in many cases.

| |
| * Certain Bot processor cores (Orun, Dentek, Artemis, Guardian) are now valued at Research stations.
| |
| * Removed ability to set ship acceleration from Lua (plugins, aliases). Turbo triggering should still work (turbo-lock, etc).

| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.126 ==

| |

| |
| * Owner and User keys listed in your keychain now have an indicator to show whether the key is associated with a station.
| |

The new tab is labeled Friend Keys and shows all the keys you've given out and whether each key was been redeemed. Once you send a friend key, your friend will receive an email notification with the actual key and instructions on how to use it. Note: This has nothing to do with in-game station access keys.
| |
| * War Convoy bots now guard a spot on or near the wormhole, and should target properly (just hated for now).
| |
| * War Convoy blockade locations for the Itani side have been changed (Ukari A-10 w/ caps, B-5 w/o). Their numbers will also persist between server restarts. Other improvements to come.
| |
| * Removed console debug message.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.121 ==
| |

| |
| * Hive Skirmish missions no longer show up in conquerable stations.

| |
| * Two new conquerable stations added, in grayspace. Other features will be appearing, making conquering and holding all three stations a lucrative prospect. Where are they located? Explore and find them!
| |
| * In statically fogged sectors, the sector list (the "u" menu) now only shows users within radar range, allowing total concealment through use of occlusion and fog. In non-fogged sectors and storm sectors, old behaviour still applies.

| |
| * Active Players list on website now displays Buddies Online for your logged-in account, and graphs of player populations.

| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.119 ==
| |
| * Changed random number generator for new character name creation. It is seeded once a second, so new names can only be created once a second.

| |
| * Textured line effects now have a minimum screen size so they don't glitter as much when they are far away. This affects things like ship exhaust and some weapon effects including swarm missile trails and mining bean effects.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.117 ==
| |
| * Manufacturing the Teller-Ulam Mine in the Conquerable Station now has reduced requirements (Queen Processors instead of Queen Matrix). Mission can only be taken twice per day.

| |
| * Fixed a bug where the player who conquered a station wouldn't get free ship repairs until they redocked.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.116 ==
| |

The new sectors have much higher crystal density, and represent the first production test case for the "Universe Redux" process. Future sectors will be even larger and denser, but more development work remains before this can happen.

| * All supporting sectors for Hive Bastions are now constrained to the same system as the Queen
| |
| * Hive Collectors shuttle back and forth between their Settlement and their Queen
| |
| * When the last Bastion in a system is destroyed, all other Hive Skirmish missions in that system end immediately (as successful).
| |
| * Mac version defaults to using texture compression for video cards with 128 megs of memory to try to fix texture thrashing problem.
| |
| | |
| Also, thanks to players who have contributed the following:
| |
| * Group management added to Buddy tab and tab is renamed to Buddy/Group. (''[[User:BlackNet|Moda Messolus]]'', ''[[User:slime73|Omega 0]]'')
| |
| * Added ability to optionally display numbers with either commas or spaces as thousands separators in the client interface. Added option to specify either none, comma, space. (''[[User:BlackNet|Moda Messolus]]'')
| |
| * Updated some in-station hotkeys. (''[LUA] guild'')
| |
| * Darkened capship's 'Ready Room' chat background colors. (''[[User:Miharu|Miharu]]'', ''[[User:slime73|Omega 0]]'')
| |
| * Darkened station's 'Bar' chat background colors. (''[[User:Miharu|Miharu]]'', ''[[User:slime73|Omega 0]]'')
| |
| * Player cargo lists are now sorted by name. (''[[User:BlackNet|Moda Messolus]]'')
| |
| * There are now 9 pages of mission notes instead of 1. (''[[User:ThinkHen|Nautargos]]'', ''[[User:BlackNet|Moda Messolus]]'')
| |
| * Added /clear command to clear the console. (''[[User:BlackNet|Moda Messolus]]'')
| |
| * ''Added ship names to the preset buttons on the buyback dialog; earlier update had only affected the buttons in the station interface.'' (''[[User:drazed|drazed]]'', ''[[User:Miharu|Miharu]]'', ''[[User:Raybondo|raybondo]]'')

| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.10 ==
| |
| * Manufacturing & Mining missions updated to use new objective UI in the mission log
| |
| * Fix crash under OpenGL
| |
| * Fixed tutorial mission wording
| |
| * 9 new missions added
| |
| * Server deployment stuff rewritten; we should have shorter downtimes between updates from now on
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.9 ==
| |
| * Fixed a couple interface bugs
| |
| * Added support for a mission objective list in the log; we will be updating missions to use this feature
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.8 ==
| |
| * Pressing 'm' from the HUD always goes to the mission log, then pressing it again goes to the mission list if you don't have a mission, and then pressing 'm' a third time puts you back in the HUD.
| |
| * Fixed horizontal scroll in mission log.
| |
| * Missions are sorted alphabetically by name and then description. (thanks [[User:BlackNet|Moda]])
| |
| * Option for chat entry field to show colored text depending on what chat destination it's going to. (thanks [[User:Slime73|Slime]])
| |
| * Preset purchase buttons show name of the ship that is setup for that preset. (thanks [[User:Drazed|Drazed]])
| |
| * Player's home station is displayed in character info area in station menu. ([[User:Slime73|slime]])
| |
| * System chat is available to non-plugin users now. ([[User:Slime73|slime]])
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.7 ==
| |
| * Overhauled bot targeting system, currently utilized in Border Skirmish, Hive Skirmish and Escort missions. Among other things, this means that players will be targeted more frequently and fighters won't focus on capships.
| |
| * BS bots warp in from opposite ends now, preventing some capship tangles.
| |
| * BS now includes Ragnarok bombers.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.6.1 ==
| |
| * Fixed crash on exit or ReloadInterface
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.6 ==
| |
| * Mission logs now indicate mission outcome (completed, failed, aborted) for most missions (the rest to be done soon).
| |
| * Navroute to Hive Skirmish sector set again when you undock after death (obsoleting Eonis' new plugin).
| |
| * Fixed a bot-cleanup race condition that may be responsible for the appearance of hive bots in wormhole sectors.
| |
| * Hive expansion tuning (eg. slower bastion spawning when there are already several).
| |
| * Hive Skirmish message polishing (no more "will retreat if we lose 0 more").
| |
| * New mission log objective-list mechanism (not yet utilized).
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.5 ==
| |
| * Skirmish HUD element now reflects the alternative objectives of the stronghold and bastion HS missions
| |
| * Sector alignment/monitored status can now be changed on the fly. Consequently, Deneb B12 is now unaligned during BS (no more friends-are-red issue)
| |
| * When a ship you kill explodes, it still rewards you for kills that result from the explosion, but will not penalize you, in the case of a friendly NPC dying in the blast.
| |
| * Stronghold Queens no longer respawn instantly (there's currently a single-wide production queue requiring 2 hours per queen)
| |
| * Fixed a bug that gave the Levi's shields a huge bump when the last Bastion was destroyed.
| |
| * Queens and other large ships can now die in skirmishes when the sector is not-running (very low probability) - this will keep the Hive from growing quite so large.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.4.1 ==
| |
| * Use GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object instead of GL_APPLE_vertex_buffer_object on MacOS 10.5 - significant speedup on some machines.
| |
| * Disabled mpengine entirely (for now) - trying to track down further performance issues.
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.4 ==
| |
| * 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
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.3.1 ==
| |
| * Fix for the crash that TargetLS and the IUP child-detachment change induced
| |
| * Linux clients will now hog the cpu much less when not in focus
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.3 ==
| |
| * 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
| |

| |
| * Initial re-tuning of shield settings following the removal of the turret-multiplier-effect
| |

| |

| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.2 ==
| |
| * 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 [[Leviathan|levi]])
| |
| * Border Skirmish and Battle max-casualties changed from 1k each to 2k and 3k respectively (Battles happen at midnight GMT Sundays)
| |
| * [[Hive Queen|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
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8.1 ==
| |
| * Border Skirmish is back, now with [[HUD]] indicator
| |
| | |
| == Vendetta 1.8 ==
| |
| * 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
| |
