    Bunch more fixes.

    Known issue where there appears to be a periodic hitch. At least on my home computer. May be random internet issue, but more likely something in the sim.

    We'll be investigating more tomorrow, but there's a bunch of changes in here, so worth providing access sooner.

    The ai makes me feel like someone did a bad job of distracting Sorian enough from working on achieving world supremacy... :p

    But those continuing ui crashes drive me crazy :(

    Also, I think I had a server crash while spectating two ais (at least that doesn't trigger the selection rectangle ui crash...).

    - GW: default game name change from "New Game" to "My Conquest"

    - Economy full sound calls changed to array - only happens two out three times?
    - "Asteroid Incoming" sound call uncommented
    - "Planets" will not be shown when the load system screen is show for game system selection
    - Planets panel open at start, icon for start planets.

    Modding:
    - model.buildVersion no longer available by default in most scenes
    - GW: game over scene basically emptied; does some bookeeping and then changes to main-game game-over
    - Game over screen has some nil checks and some general working-over that I haven't dived into
    - Several new calls (new api) holodeck.showCommandConfirmation
    - Number of players is a data field (not just a string) in the default systems
    - api.camera.setZoom has an additional parameter for "smooth"

    Features are all the objects scattered throughout the planets. This probably affects tree reclaim, but I haven't checked all the inheritance chains

    Only before signing in; after that the social bar covers it. (and I've got an auto-login mod... ;^) )

    I finished a match of Galactic War, so my earlier issue was probably the ammo_id thing. Only thing I noticed was the game over screen had zeros and negatives.

    Asteroids have been added to the game?
    Or are we now calling smaller planets "asteroids"?

    Not yet; "asteroid" is just being used in a generic sense here (it uses the label "asteroid" in the sound cue/alert)

    So I guess trees reclaim for more metal now?

    Interesting.

    Would be interesting to see more reclaiming possibilities on metal planets...

    OOH, THAT GIVES ME A GREAT IDEA.
    You know how there are those super fancy metal planet craters? Maybe since they're made of metal, we can use fabricators to rebuild areas that were smashed!

    PTE Bug and Feature report coming in:

    - I noted the use of the simplified sun shader in the system editor. In the actual game, the current sun shader (with white markings) is still used.

    - I started a match staring at the sun (just like in the last PTE)


    staring at the sun.jpg


    - Version info not visible in the main menu. It's supposed to be at the bottom right corner, but it is blocked.

    - Commander spawn animation doesn't time right (Commander appears a moment before the pod hits the ground)

    Bluehawks have some aiming issues when they don't face their target.
