[UNSTABLE] Updates March 14th, 2014

Hey guys! We’ve been working a lot on progression this week, but that stuff’s not quite ready to be pushed yet. We have pushed a small update to unstable, though! No updates to the stable branch, as we’ve still got a bug or two to fix first. We’ll be making one more upload tonight, and then hopefully pushing an update to stable on Monday.

Remember to report any new bugs (relevant to this update) in the comments below!

  • More edge case lua <-> C++ work
  • Made songbook UI more compact
  • 2 new weathers! (ground mist and wind storm)
  • Several more Agaran encounters and objects

I’m only allowed to show you the tiniest of teaser images for the encounters (below), BUT you should check out this month’s newsletter for more news about the Agarans, cool mods, and the return of monthly wallpapers. :)

Outpost Art

Part of the new progression system detailed in earlier posts is the new “outpost” planet type.

Here you’ll find all manner of npcs willing to buy your goods, give you quests and rent your properties.

[UNSTABLE] Updates March 8, 2014

Hey guys! Some stuff’s been pushed to the unstable testing branch. Take a look. :D

Spacedust Shower

Shiny new stuff:

  • 5 new weathers – sandstorm, snowstorm, fog, ash storm, space dust
  • A couple new Agaran hats (shroomhead3 and shroomhead4)
  • More objects for Heck! (heckpillar1, heckpillar2, hecksign)
  • Some mysterious Floran pods

Bug fixes:

  • Possible fix for repeat keys never triggering callback, hence resulting in old data being used (e.g. after holding backspace to clear account in server connect dialog).
  • Unix & Windows LockFile implementation, also fix bug with texturing flag not being moved during operator=
  • Fixed sit alignment on tier10 chair
  • Much improved variant <-> lua handling
  • Assorted engine fixes (e.g “Tag manifest as windows 7 compatible, trying to work our way out from under compatflags”)
