Atfer just another "wtf I zoomed in too much again" experience I yet again hope that we will see a "always render strategic icons" option soon. It's just horrible when I zoom in and everything disappears. That's how it feels the moment the icons are turned off. :/ Apart from that... yey thanks for the update
So just to clarify, all of the cool stuff I was talking about is in progress but not in the next build. It looks like we do have a decent build to send out tonight, probably sometime in the next few hours.
Imposters are basically auto generated LOD models. One nice advantage of them is they are very quick to render so we can swap them out when the trees get far away so that the planet doesn't look bald when you zoom out like it does in your build.
Correct. Make them fast enough to always draw so we don't have to remove them. That was a short term perf fix.
"area commands and line commands" Yes! I've been waiting since the beginning for this, the best features from SpringRTS that I've been missing in PA.
I'm just a bit worried that December is starting to loom around the corner and you guys are still saying you're on track for launch when there seems to be a lot of work left to do. Specialized units and balance especially if you're aiming for ~100 near launch. I'll guess you guys can push it back if need be. Keep at it!
well we do not bother when the next build comes out, we're just concerned about having a status like you did here
Any information regarding some lobby loving in the next few patches? a kick or password feature for all the tourny games going on would be hugely appreciated. The lobby lag is also kinda annoying too, but not as important =P other than that, its good to see that some of the largest problems have been fixed! Edit: also looks like there is something weird going on with the target leading, its kinda working for moving units, but not for stationary.
Not sure which features I am most looking forward to in that list. No wait formation just because I want to see my levels in ranks.
