PA update 94157-PTE Community changes Added download & zip JS APIs. - The client can now download files from any valid URL. - Zip file contents can now be mounted transiently at any point in the file system. - See download.js and file.js for new APIs. Put a trailing slash on directory entries in the JS file list API. Convert mod system over to using the same file system everyone else uses. - Also introduces aliases to the file system in order to work around issues with the way mods were mounted. - Might have some small inconsistencies in mod behavior. A number of fixes to zip file mounting and mod interactions. - Primarily related to listing directories with memory files. - Mounting the same content is no longer a no-op. - Added api.content.remount(), which is necessary after changing mods. Auto-activate download redirects. - A download url will get a different result from Coherent, meaning it won't find an active download. - Auto-starts the download with the default filename. (Which is sub-optimal, but there isn't a reliable way of detecting the redirect.) Icon atlases now refresh when memory files are mounted -Allows shadowing from server mods -Also allows changing them at runtime -Does not support changing icon altas indices after creating a client world Icon atlases now have access to the client engne APIs - Primarily for the memory API Part 1 of in-memory shader mod support. - Includes hypothetical memory mounted file shader reload support for OSX/linux. - Doesn't appear to dynamically load shaders based on reports from testing, but is significant enough for OSX/Linux that I would like to get it checked in so I can do other smaller work. - Also doesn't cause any extra crashing or bad behavior from what has been reported. Ensure the timestamp of memory mounted files doesn't match previously mounted files. - Prevents caches of rapidly re-mounted files from returning stale data. Make boot.json memory file friendly. Remote mounted mods now override file system aliases when they are mounted. Fixed the change watcher support. - Added some more characters to filter from download file names. Added "raw" mod info interface so mods can extra information to modinfo.json. - Includes deprecation of api.mods.getMountedMods() in favor of api.mods.getMounted(), which uses promises instead of a callback.

Add server-side spec tag support to army configurations in the lobby. Expose build bar spec id grid map for easier modding. Correct gamma in world hover information. Improve modability of build bar. - Expose object constructors so new instances can be made. - Save their arguments so new properties can be defined. - Expose grid dimensions and tab definitions. - Extract function for unit specs so it can be either replaced or called again. - Expose ammo build hover details. - Fix the build hover cost of nuke missiles for titans. Extract function so showing game over can be cleanly customized. Remove call to undefined api.camera.setPreviewLinkage. - Appears to have been a by-product of the pa-x1 branch integration. Fix depreciated getMountedMods to return same type as before. Convenience improvements to GW card access for mods. Use appropriate commander for spec tag - Can't really use spec tags without a tagged commander. Commander verification won't let them through. Having the server append the tag during finalization avoids having to think about it everywhere else. Prevent incorrectly broken promises when chaining. - If a promise gets eaten by merge it will never be resolved/rejected. If one of the previously bound handlers is called, pending != ok and it gets rejected though the handler being called is usually for resolve. Return content remount promise for completion tracking Make api.file.list reject missing directories instead of waiting for parse exception General bugfix/polish Upgrade FMOD to 4.44.60 and rebuilt banks with new version Tell windows laptops with AMD GPUs to use the discrete part Fix a client crash that occurs when a URL is requested with a trailing / Fix error logging for unknown error codes Planet description now includes metal spot, CSG, and landing zone counts Fix for mac build. - Define copy ctor/assign operator for ChangeWatcherList. Pop open store page instead of cart for Steam Titans upgrade. Print complete authenticateHelper failure information instead of [object Object]. Fix alias search crash bug in WindowsFilesystem/StdioFilesystem::exists(). Prevent negative output from dither in the HDR compose pass. -Hypothetically, this should fix a crash issue on some Intel 5xx GPU drivers. Fix for aliases not being converted to lowercase.
By the way, for any Linux users wanting to try out this PTE, there is an issue with case-sensitivity for files in the media subdirectory that causes a crash on startup. For some reason the coui:// file system expects all file to be lower-case. A workaround is to make symlinks from any file with capitals to one that is all lowercase. Script to do that for you: Code: cd media find . -name "*[A-Z]*" -type f -exec sh -c 'ln -sf "`basename "$0"`" "`echo "$0" | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`"' {} \;
