Next version

[Hoi]

What's going to be the priority of the next version? (I don't mean a possible bugfix version) I request finishing sm3, then do some testing to really get it bug free, and then a release, releasing when a major new thing is done / release early release often sounds great and would prevent major bugs like this release.

I would suggest a 0.77b4 in the very near future, if we end up in a long term dev cycle again we need a strong rock solid release to work off of, and this current release isn't quite there.

As for 0.78b1 we have the new AI interface. Once that is doen I would say a 0.78b1 release should be made available as a release candidate and the new interface pushed out as soon as possible for bugfixing

there will be a 77b4 soon I hope; I'm not excluding a 77b5. no new major features are planned for those releases, mostly bugfixes.

But what about sm3? It's nearly finished right?

Also, ai's should become unsynced.

[AF]

AIs technically ARE unsynched. I can have an AI and add it to a game that nobody else has. Only lua AIs need to be running on every single players machine.

Hmm I used to have sync errors when I was playing on my own with ai using spring.exe

Well for me the biggest issues are slowdowns and broken aircraft fuel (since it breaks CA/NOTA gameplay - in case of CA it makes all bombers useless)

Delayed sync message != desync

A really 100% rock solid "no known bugs" release would be really great, since it would let people pound away on those crazy long term projects like multithreading and resync / join games in progress / save multiplayer game that have been 6 months away for the last year or more.

For when it is released:

[imbaczek]

[hoijui]

[AF]

heh my website can make a better version =p Those are scanlines, if you wish I cna remove them when I get home and show you what they look like.

In the meantime heres some output from my latest experiment:



Indeed the scanlines where once 40% more opaque

[BrainDamage]

I don't like it, it should show off the engine, not the logo.

[Auswaschbar]

No doubt, its nice, but for what should it be used?

[Jazcash]

And here's my response.



Because mocking AF is better than pie.
