Hi people,
after 3 months, version 2015-08-09 has been released.
If you have joined the netplay session yesterday (Saturday, August 8th, 2015), then you already have this.There have been physics changes. Most notably, basher and digger remove terrain all during a single frame.
Download Lix. View the changelist. Feed a bug to the frog.Current bugs that will be fixed in the upcoming days, but don't affect physics:
- Spawn interval button flickers when the interval cannot be changed
- During action replay, you can't cancel the replay by changing skills. You should be able to do that, even if it doesn't generate replay data.
- Digger icon is still the one from the past years. It should match the new tarmac flattening machine.
Hi people who like to test,
hi Clam who's making replays for pack maintainance,
we want the basher to start 2 frames faster, i.e., first swing takes place 2 frames earlier, all other swings then come normally at multiples of 16 frames after the first.
There's also an elaborate, mostly invisible fix by geoo that prevents newly assigned miners from cancelling working miners. When the ground under miners doens't change, the miner behaves exactly as before. This fix shouldn't break any intended replays.
Download the Windows test build. Instead, get the build from my following post. Extract over 2015-08-09; it replaces some images in data/images/, but 2015-08-09 is forward compatible with the new images. Physics are different still, as described for basher and miner.
- If you build from source, pull branch wip-after-2015-08-09 on github.
The test build can't play on the central server; use 2015-08-09 (first part of the post) for netplay.
