PTE Stream: 73687, now with 100% more offline mode

Obviously, the big thing in this build is offline server. Here's a few screens of the most relevant points:




The default setting is "auto", which you shouldn't need to override unless you fall below our recommended spec.

Additional build notes for PTE:

[Pathing] Significant changes and improvements to

[Server] Turned off the idle timer for local games.
[Server] Turns off local server when use is not "recommended". Current threshold is 4+ cores & 8+GB memory. (Matches our Steam recommended spec.)
[Server] The server is 64-bit only. Due to memory restrictions and a number of other technical roadblocks, there is no 32-bit server version. (This only affects Windows, since Windows is the only platform that still supports a 32-bit client)
[Server] The spec that the server looks for to run locally is the same as our recommended spec - 8GB of RAM and quad core. You can override this by setting Local Server to "On", which means it will try and use a local server for everything - except online hosted games, which still go through Uber's online server management.

[System Editor] Planets now look exactly the same in game as they do in the system editor.
[System Editor] Metal spot placement now looks exactly the same in game as it does in the system editor.

[UI] Spectator UI upgrades
[UI] System editor UI polish

SWEET JESUS!

Under construction
@garat - looks like the thumb image for the Twoboots is not the same size as the rest.

More like ∞% more offline mode.

Yah, I considered that, but.. doesn't read well in the default font.

Found you

It begins!

Do we have what we need to change what team colors are available? If not, could you see about giving us the needed server scripts?

sleep is overrated

Meh, just change the font.

Well I just finished up two mods that should be released in the next few days. That means I have time to get started with the server!

You can't change the thread title font

<shamless thread abuse>do nott enable pa stats for local games just yet, you may screw up old game data if you do</shamless thread abuse>

DAMN I forget how damn skinny Rallus is, like damn boy eat some damn fried chicken!

Oh Noes!



I had a download error while updating; when I hit verify again, it started unpacking and updating although it still said ~78/105. May try Replacing PTE with stable and starting over.

Wait... I CAN launch the PA bin directly, so it's just an issue with the .app launch.
