PA Alpha Build: 49455

Build 49455

- BUG: Air fabbers DO NOT WORK. This means no advanced air factories either. Please don't use them. You can build T1 fighters and bombers, but air fabbers and all T2 air are broken currently.
-We have wired the client for full Steam authentication support. We do NOT have a key exchange in place yet, but we will soon.
- After exiting a match, you will no longer be able to create a new game if a new build has been pushed. You must patch before starting a new match.
- We've added an idle timer. For those of you hanging out in a match for 22 hours.
- In game edge scrolling and window mouse constraints
- Some fixes in for units moving off of factories (still more to fix)
- More pathing fixes and tuning
- Additional flow field performance improvements in complex areas (near crevices for instance)
- Client will always try to get back to the end of the timeline unless you're in Chronocam mode
- Units being built no longer provide intel/vision
- Projectiles should no longer be visible through fog of war
- You should no longer be able to see enemy army build orders
- Some targeting improvements and light laser tank should have an easier time hitting structures again
- Camera Pole Locking and Hotkey (Hold N key to flip the pole lock state)
- Ongoing sound work and effects
- New sea energy plant art
- New land and sea metal storage art
- Numerous FX adjustments and fixes
- Torpedo launchers now use torpedos
- Numerous balance changes

I want to believe allowed idle time isn't too short, because sometime I playing around with lighting/shaders for long time.

Pole locking with side scroll REALLY HELPS

Very rough, and can't check these yet in-game, but from the data files the changes are:

• In-game player status.
• UNITTYPE_Wall added to barriers
• UNITTYPE_Sub added to subs
• pitch range on ant weapon 15 -> 20
• bot factory advanced nanolathe orientation changed
• Additional audio and special effects on some things
• Torpedo launcher, sonar icons being larged fixed (icons still incorrect though)
• Destroyer icon colour fixed
• Some target priorities changed
• Model changes (will detail shortly)
• Water colour lighter

(The rest of the changes are in the engine)

Fixed:
FS#121 - Color of ship icons are wrong.
FS#60 - All queued commands by all players visible when shift pressed.
FS#9 - Building LOS

Can't maximize my window once in game, and scrolling out takes me to solar system view randomly.

I love the note where you mention Air fabs are broken, I had to try it out to see what was up and ya, they are really broken haha!

Game runs much smoother now

I am guessing the guys are working towards fixing the air ready for the Steam push then!

Can't wait to check this out

Wow! The lag for issuing commands is so much better! It is perhaps 2-3 times less delay now!



Malaysia fiber internet connection 5mb/s upload and download.

Details please. There are several issues with pathing, and testing them all over again would be a tedious task, especially since not all of them are deterministic or easy to replicate.

Actual question is: Was the bug fixed where the overlapping maps for pathfinding caused several erratic behaviors like looped paths and impassable areas?

EDIT:
It isn't, at least not completely
Maps still overlap by an visible amount and cause issues in all 6 corners. Not as much as before, but enough to cause strange behaviors if obstacles are close to the cornerd or the 8 edges.

Time to play another game tonight and search for more bugs then

Oh god *Mashes the "Duplicate" button in the bug tracker*

Haha, ya that tracker is going to be full of "My construction plane builds underground"

To be honest I was surprised to see there isn't a master known bug list maintained on the tracker site or even these forums, could really help reduce dupes

No it wouldn't. People post bugs without searching... there's no way around that.

UBER YOU MAKE ME SO HAPPY.

I always search, however i dont always find what i am searching for.

*Hums* hello, is it me your looking for

-In game edge scrolling and window mouse constraints
