hopefully the last test release before 86.0:

Changes since last testing release (incomplete list):

• remove the 'toAirWeapon' WeaponDef tag (use "onlyTargetCategory = VTOL" for the same effect)
• fix support of ENVVARS in IsolatedDir string
• Spring.GetTeamResources: Return prev{Metal,Energy}{Sent,Received} instead of (useless?) intermediate values, Also return prev{Metal,Energy}Excess
• remove "Start SpringSettings" + "Start the Lobby" from the test/develop menu (#2887)
• try to really flush logfile to disk on crash (win32)
• fix MoveCtrl.SetRelativeVelocity
• add LuaRules callin `DrawShield(number unitID, number weaponID) --> boolean`
• Fix mantis #2912 (Very difficult to select the unit in a factory)
• always render under-terrain waterplane on voidwater maps
• fix endless loop in CGround::LineGroundCol() (mantis #2910)
• fix DivByZero in Projectile.cpp
• make LuaUnsyncedCtrl::SendSkirmishAIMessage return a table, not N loose strings
• unitsync: on Init() calls reload IsolatedMode & Dir via the EnvVar
• add weaponDefID to ProjectileCreated
• fix SMFFragProg typo (2933)
• fix transported units being unhittable after (#2875, #2934)
• fix SetUnitCrashing inconsistency (2924)

It was broken? That why i couldn't get Air Raid to work for me?

can't say, see https://github.com/spring/spring/commit ... d96855a071

please try with the test-version or maybe directly ask kloot.

Thanks for the hard work, really happy that a release is coming soon!

Bounce feature is still prevalent in wreck fields and tightly packed buildings. Windgens placed at a spacing of 2 and trees are a nightmare for units.

Even relatively small numbers of features with transparency cause massive fps drops: For example look at the grove in Blindside v2 at 12000:4200

Thanks kloot, old paratroopers are back to working just like they ought, and the weird bug with permanently syncing unit velocities is fixed.

Do we need to update any gadgets that use GetTeamResources?

Yes, KingRaptor was messing with AirRaid too; according to him it is fixed.

Yeah, that change made me nervous.

Spring.GetTeamResources change should be fine if the change was made without breaking anything else. If any other behaviour was changed I'd notice because Overdrive is tuned to the behaviour of the other callins.

If I wanted to tempt fate I'd rewrite OD using Excess instead of a 10k large hidden energy buffer.

Thanks a lot for the work! I will test asap.

Will the vehicles become faster again with this release?

you mean http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=2877 ?
That is unchanged..

Seems so to me as well. Units do not get thrown away but they still like to hump in this test version.
It also seems as if vehicles with turnInPlace=false do not take their turn radius into account (not sure if they ever did)
But it makes them faceplant into things alot.

If the turninplace changes that were in 7.62 work well with new engine (less bounce) then they will be put back in to BA.

Awesome! I hope so.

add weaponDefID to ProjectileCreated

whats this for?

the callin:
ProjectileCreated()

no changes to depthmod? :-/
