StarMade News - StarMade 0.1845 Another round of fixes

Posted by schema almost 10 years ago

Hello players,

as Steam release is getting closer (can't confirm a date yet), I'll focus on bug fixing.

Here is another release full of fixes and re-fixes of things that weren't fixed yet.

One bigger thing is a complete redesign of the core of how beam ticks are counted. There should be accurate now.

There is also an optimization for servers without SSD, where they should have longer lags as the database marked entries as "dirty" wrongly causing a huge write to the hard drive where only maybe 0.001% is actually needed to be written. I can't say yet if my method works, but in the worst case there is no difference.

Here are the fixes so far, and thanks to all the testers as always:

Resolved 9
1224	Inconsistencies In blockBehaviorConfig.xml
1334	GLException: simple lighting quality
1119	linked storages have visual logic laser line links on startup.
1300	Physical entities such as shops, planets and stations not appearing in Galaxy Map
591	Undocking stuck turrets from their motherships can cause both mothership and turret to fly off stuck at very high speeds
1059	Undo max config setting doesn't get saved.
950	Radar Jammer and/or Cloaker is not working against homing missiles
292	Beams displaying wrong DPS in weapons menu.
941	Copy&paste 7 and even more lines into blueprint descriptions.
Closed 15
1319	Beam + Cannon Draws Negative Power
1161	Beams 'skip' their first damage tick.
1332	Cloakers, jammers and jumpdrive ignore docked mass
951	Small weapon with 100% stop effect can stop huge ships and affect shield
970	Linux: Updating creates mirror folder - original untouched
1043	Missile support has incorrect damage scaling
1044	Weapons fire from AI ships becomes severly maloriented, beam animation renders significant distance away from ship.
720	AI has a fixed range.
894	beams and pulse not killing astronauts
1012	Chain Docking: Blue box is facing the wrong direction.
1113	Using joystick throttle gives more thrust than without
1291	Faction List Bug
1317	Houdini Blocks - Undone Blocks Reappearing After Exit/Resume
1293	Item loss when using undo
1078	"Search currently installed" under Options&Repair without function

Stay tuned for the date announcement of the steam release. Also the stations will be there very soon (I apologize for the delay).

Oh and as you probably noticed, there is a new launcher version. This version fixes some issues (some linux love), as well as support parallel downloading to speed up updating by a lot.

Thanks for playing StarMade,
