Spring 101.0 Released

[hokomoko]

Hello springers, your favourite engine is here, and it's better than ever!

Spring 101.0 brings us numerous features, fixes and performance improvements introduced in over 1200 commits since 100.0.

Most of the new features are described in this video created by gajop (thanks!).



We can also describe changes in words:

Lua Feature & Map shaders
It is now possible to set custom shaders for features and map drawing from lua.

Line of Sight refactor
Line of sight calculation performance was greatly improved allowing it to be smoothly updated every simulation frame.

Transports refactor
The hard-coded transport behaviour was tweaked to allow the attachment of any unit to any other unit from lua.

Internal pr-downloader support
An essential step towards in-game lobby, it already allows rapid tags to be used in game dependencies and in start scripts.

Thanks to everyone who helped testing, reporting and fixing !

The changelog contains more details .

Please test Spring 101.0 as it will be set as default version on lobby server in a week or so (exact time TBD) if no blocking bugs are found.


Most users won't need a download link, as lobbies can download them automatically. For completeness:

Impressive... Very nice.

Excellent work by everyone! Could you please post the code that implemented the custom features shaders, if it the author wishes it to be available?

The author wishes it to be available and he has posted it here: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=34456#p576043 . He might also merge some of the BAR changes unless the BAR devs do it first (best to send PRs to _his_ repository instead of upstream as it'll get merged faster).

[Beherith]

Thanks gajop, I missed your post in the other thread.

[FLOZi]

Great work from the dev team and stunning work from gajop with the video, we need more like this!

[jamerlan]

easy consumables like videos or pictures make stuff go viral.

Anyway... why cant i load my .sdd $version with 101.0 - are moddevs deprecated now?

[The Yak]

I have the same problem as PicassoCT

Mantis it. I can load sdds fine.

[Silentwings]

I am also able to load sdds as before.

At a guess, maybe you've auto-dl'ed and ended with up an install in some lobby-created subdir that isn't looking for content in all the folders that your 'main' install was.

[Forboding Angel]

Game sdd is working fine for me. Haven't checked maps though.

[Google_Frog]

The new LOS is the best.

Does anyone else see any SFX.FIRE? I can't see any.

[Parzival]

Cheers, now I can finally implement trains in ZK with new transport behavior.

[qray]

Thanks for the great work. Works without problems here

P.S.:

Game sdd is working fine for me. Haven't checked maps though.

map sdd works fine for me
