==Changes since 0.9.1 (not released, currently in development)== |
|
|
=== Gameplay Improvments === |
|
|
* Nicowar has been majorly improved, to cope better on smaller maps, and has now got a Warrush style that it can randomly select to pursue (so you cant run the same map and expect the same result each time). |
|
|
* Changed default SGSL wait behavior for buildings: wait for condition for specified level and higher level. Added keyword ''"only"'' to restrict to specified level. This should remove tutorial dead-locking because of too efficient players. |
|
|
* Several parts of the game have been optimized, to make it less CPU exhaustive. |
|
|
=== Overall improvements === |
|
|
* The ability to open saved games in the map editor has been revived. |
|
|
* Changes to Scons script so it compiles better on a range of different systems (including Mac OSX) |
|
|
* Quick Kill keys have been added for MacOSX (CMD+Q) and Windows (ALT+F4). These will quit the game completely, from wherever you are, rather than using the menus to quit. |
|
|
=== Network improvements === |
|
|
* Many changes to YOG and LAN network gaming to improve stability, and performance. |
|
|
* Changes to YOG IRC so it uses multi-threading techniques (removes GUI delays when logging into YOG) |
|
|
* YOG Game information box (the top right box in YOG when you click on a game) has been reenabled after several releases of it not being there. |
|
|
* The ability to restart a network game using a saved game is also working again (just start it up with the saved game map, assign the players back to their team colors, and start). |
|
|
* Buildings now have a ghost building placed before being usable (it wont be noticeable in local games, but in online games, with a little bit of lag, it provides confirmation of placement until your request is processed). |
|
|
* YOG now displays to the player when they join a network game, how much of a map they have downloaded if they have to do so). |
|
|
=== Graphical enhancement === |
|
|
* A particle engine has been added allowing neat little smoke effects for damaged buildings and turret fire. |
|
|
=== Miscellaneous improvements === |
|
|
* Fixed a bug where the windows installer would remove more than it should when uninstalling. [https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?21011 #21011] |
|
|
* Fixed a bug where if you left the map editor with the Fertility display still on, the game would crash. [https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?22137 #22137] |
|
|
* Fixed a bug where if the sequence of players went, for example, 1/2/4 (i.e player slot three was empty), the game would freeze. [https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?21055 #21055] |
|
|
* Fixed a bug where compiling would fail if the OSS headers were of the 4.x series, and not 3.x. [https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?21880 #21880] |
|
|
* Fixed the age old bug where starving globs wouldn't go to inns. [https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?17040 #17040] |
|
|
* Fixed a bug where you couldn't host a LAN game, and join in on the same computer (for testing purposes). [https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?21306 #21306] |
|
|
* Many other bugs from the bug tracker have been fixed |
