XTAPE 9.602 (bugfix of a bugfix)

[Deadnight Warrior]

tbh, i dont see the point in including the widgets into the mod, the only pro is that newbs will have the widgets too (if they didnt knew them), but a big contra is, that i have double-posts in the widget list

Not quite correct, as I used the same names as the external widgets you might download from Spring Downloader. This means tha if you have an external widget installed it will override an internal widget with the same name and you won't have double post on the widget list (F11 for noobs). Only Defense Range is different as I deleted the definitions for BA & CA mods as we don't need them in an internal widget. While everybody except Jools is using this widget, this will even the battlefield for him (and lots of random noobs who dunno how to get useful widgets as you mentioned before).

About the "Caught content exception: File not found: objects3d/rubble.3do", I'll look into it. Noruas might do the same before posting the update on Springfiles.

k, i didnt knew that external and internal widgets could be "merged" like that in widget list. but thx anyway for fixing the stuff. also please make new unit-icons for a far distance (look at s44 and ca)

Do I look like a XTA janitor to you? Fix it yourself for a change.
I only did these fixes because of serious LUA error spam I got in some matches.

Deadnight Warrior, good job. unfortunately for xta it looks like my soon release is gonna be awhile due to some hardware issues, but if you or anyone else wants a list of things that need to be done, i can make a quick list.

Make a thread with your todo list, so everyone can see what needs to be done.

No, it is not ready for 0.82RC:

Code: Select all

[      0] Lua LoadCode pcall error = 2, LuaRules/main.lua, [string "LuaRules/main.lua"]:1: attempt to call global 'AllowUnsafeChanges' (a nil value)

rapid is missing this and some of the other new versions of XTA. would be good to have them all there.

[det]

Added to rapid as xta:fixed

[raaar]

besides adding the game_spawn.lua, what else did you have to do to make it spawn the starting units?

[Noruas]

I believe there was a few updates added to some other lua scripts, but XTA v 9.64 will be disabling of multiples and king of the hill starting options due to a lack of working lua.

However v 9.65 we may be looking forward to CO-OP. The most important balance changes of 9.64 is probably nerfing of ship scouts and buffing of t1 lurker and snake subs. Otherwise we are looking at more particle optimization, mostly bertha effects and rockets, Deadnight Warrior's Sea visual patch, and Raars Animation improvement.


I am hoping to get this out tonight.

[slogic]

Removed all AllowUnsafeChanges() entries from all lua scripts.

[raaar]

thanks, it worked.

[Deadnight Warrior]

Mesa is back from vacation! And what do I see, nothing has been done to XTA.

Slogic, you slacked a lot when making that fix. I'll upload a much better version than this one.
Noruas can use it for the next official release. I'm only missing D-Gun and live and raaar's animation fixes.

XTAPE 9.64 beta

[hoijui]

maybe you should also put your stuff up on rapid:
http://packages.springrts.com/

if you need a login, i guess you can ask Licho or det for it.
could put up your releases under xta:testing or something.

...Slogic, you slacked a lot when making that fix.

My goal was to fix problem with no spawning commanders under Spring 0.82.x and i achieved it. I do not pretend to be an official maintainer of XTA.
