Water sounds are still not working, would be nice to include this fix.

Still, thanks for the hard work, those of you who deserve it.

I'm afraid I am travelling so won't be able to test this for a couple of weeks, but I will do when I get back. Thanks for all your hard work!

Just got back sunday, still jetlagged, still have not even reinstalled my HD on my spring pc yet

[Jools]

I'm having peanuts for breakfast, so I won't have so much energy to test the game these days.

[PicassoCT]

Nice excuses, but you hang out in moddev. You all should get tested.

Tested RC1+cameras

1) 1 issue was found: http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=4630
(BA 8.06)

2) I think that colors are too bright. For example - radar color. When I saw it - I was shocked at first
I am not reporting this as an issue. Just my opinion. Maybe they are too bright because I have old config or smth? (screenshot is attached)

3) I hope JK will implement zoom-in and zoom-out in spring camera like in OTA camera: zoom in should use mouse pointer location.

In general - great release! I had no stuck units! And no skipped orders! Good Job!


Update: actually I played more and I am OK with the colors :-D
But 1 little colors related issue found: sea jammer have no red background coloring like land jammers
Example: armsjam (escort - lvl2 radar jammer ship)

[gajop]

Are those colors configurable?

One more issue in ba 8.06 and Spring 99 RC 1:

When I select "Mex" - view is not switched to metal one.

spring 98: I select commander, press 'z' to build mex -> metal map displayed
spring 99: I select commander, press 'z' to build mex -> regular map displayed (hard to place mex)

Sadly, it'll take a small miracle to make evo 99 compatible

[jamerlan]

I compilled spring myself from release branch.
And I tried to play vs AI using springlobbty->singleplayer mode.

Both AAI 0.9 and RAI 0.601 were doing nothing. Just IDLE commander.
I don't know why. Maybe because I compilled myself and they need additional attention.
I just did: cmake .; make -j16

Game: BA 8.06
Maps: DSD and FolsomDamDeluxeV4
springlobby: SpringLobby 0.201-29-g4930bb1

and where are other AIs? like E323AI

[abma]

you've hit http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=3993

from your infolog.txt:

[f=0000000] Loading Skirmish AIs
[f=0000000] Error: /home/revenant/projects/spring99rc1/spring/rts/System/Platform/Linux/SoLib.cpp:18: SoLib::SoLib: /home/revenant/projects/spring99rc1/spring/AI/Interfaces/C/data/libAIInterface.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

run make install and use spring from the installed dir and it will work fine.

ok, tested it a bit, only things i found is a crash: http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=4634

and (missing?) feedback about new camera mode: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.ph ... 76#p563876

(because of the crash i didn't test that much except some basic things)

[raaar]

Tested and it seems to be working.

I agree with jamerlan, the LOS colors are a bit too bright. Other than that, it's great! Looks smoother and updates faster. Now you can spawn a fighter, order it to move and it won't outrun its "fog of war" circle.

There's this issue with non-gunship aircraft behaviour which is still unsolved and has new information!

It still has the annoying bug where if i ALT-tab out of full-screen spring and tab back in it becomes windowed, and then i have to use the maximize and alt-enter again to get it back to full screen
