New stream is up! No Steam, sorry - as per normal with -main builds. Bunch of fixes. The more feedback by morning, the better the chance this goes to stable. It should improve much pathing on metal planets, and also make lava unpathable again, along with a host of other fixes.
For Linux users. This build contain small, but nice improvement done by @jorgenpt. Now users of PulseAudio would see "Planetary Annihilation" as stream name instead of "FMOD Ex App". This also allow to save/restore sound level properly even if you play other games that using FMOD (e.g Mount and Blade). PS: Also just tested mouse lock on Linux: work as excepted!

Calyx?! Interesting modding changes. As far as balance goes, I think that it will help but that it won't be enough.
Not sure why you think like this is for modding only. When there will be players who going to play with this commander in MP it's have to be included with game client of every player anyway.

I am saying that the reasons I have for being pleased with it's inclusion are modding related, not that the reasons for its inclusion are modding related (I don't think).
- AI wants fewer fabbers - AI land neural nets retrained - Dox can't fire while underwater, which is kind of tragic since they run towards enemies. - GW: Settings accessible from map - GW: primary planet no longer highlighted (since there common multi-planet starts) - Show the victor's game-over summary to spectators - APM count * 60 - Hover has a section for "transporting" - Start screen steam integration tweaked - Keybinding for pause, default is 'break' (also labeled pause on most keyboards) - 'break' is available as a binding key. Modding: - nav.json edited; offhand I think the recent new attributes were removed - Death weapons are now a special attribute instead of an exceptional weapon. - Death weapons can have separate ground and air ammo - ammo_id can now be an array of objects, with a layer property - Two shaders changed. - GW: systems can have an html property (credits)
I'm 2/2 on the "start in sun" issue. (OS X) Not 100%sure it's this patch (possibly particle_line shader), but queued commands (shift held) are a a solid line.

OS X is really crashy, I'm 0/2 getting past the first few factories in GW. I believe the second game crashed as I was trying to build a radar; I don't think the first got that far, but it caught me by surprise. I got firewall warnings from crashupload on both, and one log is attached. I beginning to think that starting in solar view is intentional because of multi-planet starts, but the occasional extreme close-up of the sun is a remaining kink. Also, dox don't do nearly as well against mixed ripper/inferno in lab tests, and even straight rippers are almost a fair fight.
I wonder if all the pathing problems mostly come from procedurally generated planets? I can imagine if maps were manually build a lot of pathing problems would be fixed. I just hopes it get better cause I know we wont see manually build planets soon or maybe never.
On manual maps you can place pathing markers. It's quite remarkable what uber have done on procedural maps particularly as they are spheres.
