0.7.17 branch - watercraft & FBX support

Version 0.7.17.4086

• oculus: updated to libovr 0.2.5, ufo camera flies in the direction of tracker, right mouse button - holds the direction
• tree canopy distance independent of the current fov (less tree popups in oculus)
• offscreen tile cache uses a separate terrain quality metrics independent of the current fov (lower memory consumption with narrow fov)
• vertical fov can be specified separately (in eng.cfg, fov_v_separate)
• change of tree quality reflected after modifying in config menu
• log window moved to the bottom
• fixed custom controls configuration being reset when new input actions are added
• fixed motion interpolation for vehicles (fluidity)
• fixed rotation handling when placing aircraft and vehicles
• fixed default exposure
• fixed wireframe colors
• fixed dirt road pattern
• fixed pixel metrics in special projection modes
• fbx: fixed LOD level on bone nodes
• fbx: all spaces in names replaced by '_'
• fbx: default objdef name set to package name
• fbx: improved texture finder (looking for dds version of the texture and FBX dir too)
• fix for gpu vendor detection, detection of GPUs not attached to displays
• fixed reporting injected NV/AMD dll modules

Version 0.7.17.3961

• implemented physically correct damping with Cx resistance coefficients instead of the default Bullet physics' fake damping coefficients
  
• damping on all vehicles in water by default (with Cx=0.4)
• fixed erroneous warnings about the usage of Intel graphics
• fixed underwater object rendering
• fixed oculus water
• fix for oculus rotation affecting controller on switching modes
• FBX fixes

Version 0.7.17.3937

• watercraft support (see api updates)
  
• added US coast guard boat and DDG ship into vehicles
• enhanced water rendering
• configurable snow line, virtual elevation equation, default virtual elevation set to match the north european biome
• distance & height shown on the hud when the crosshair intersects with the terrain
• vehicles moveable in sandbox, simple mouse drag supported in the editor
• libovr 0.2.4, removed oculus auto-calibration, uses profile settings
• FBX importer (alpha version, ctrl+F7)
• crash during opengl initialization shows error msg box instead of crash report, no crash reporting at exit
• fixed aircraft and vehicle script reload
• filtered freetrack coordinates (note: needs to configure the center in opentrack)
• added workaround for Throttle - HOTAS Warthog issue
• fixed GPU memory info on AMD
• added low performance warning for 13.8 and 13.10 beta catalyst (perf lower than <50% of 13.6 sometimes)

Previous version 0.7.16

That's a nice boat you have there but I'm more interested in the lazer eye rangefinder!

[exadeci]

Well my submarine car goes faster 

Nice update though

[cameni]

I guess we'll apply water damping even for vehicles that do not have water box height defined ...

[ZeosPantera]

But the question is how do you get cars/planes to crash into the water and sink realistically.

[FeralCircus]

Excellent update!!! :-)

Just wondering if the ships will eventually rock from side to side as well as back & forth?
Also will we be seeing animated humans any time soon?

Keep up the amazing work!

[Bartolomeus]

Today is a great day... 

Awesome thank you for the watercraft support and the FBX importer! Can't wait to test it.

Is it possible to have a direct download link for the update? I've got some problems with auto-updates inside the game itself, so an independant .exe file will be welcome. Thanks

Patch from 0.7.16.3785: Anteworld-0.7.16.3785.patch-3937

Thanks !

[Chris M]

Great - but I'm still waiting for a Linux version though...

[necro]

But a linux version was never announced o.O

[Revolver]

Thanks !

[Krutan]

Great update! Although I find the water a little too transparent. With waves like this you shouldn't be able to see much below the surface. Is there a way to reduce transparency in settings or is it permanent? And a foam texture would be nice in the future

[Woogey]

@Krutan  The height or "Choppyness" of the waves has only a very small effect on the clarity of H2O.  Depending on the Circumstances you can see a submerged submarine from the air just fine.  It is nearly impossible to model all aspects of water.  There are just too many variables to this fluid emvironment.  I will agree that the current water rendering has a way to go in regards to wakes, foam, and even the overall pattern blending for that matter.  Making progress though!
