Merry Christmas/Gravmass/Saturnalia/whatever to everybody, and have a nice end of the year too!

[Abc94]

Merry X-mas!  Make sure you guys take at least a little break.

Merry Christmas and have a nice end of year.

And... I think that these wishes aren't for me, because with latest update I started to get this weird message after run of Anteworld:


And as always logs in attachment.

Version 0.8.1.4444

• animated character FPS/TPS mode (key 8, full version only),
• updated object material system, environment reflections
• env map created at startup, added alt+F8 shortcut to recompute them at run time and after location jumps
• builder move operation keeps the height above terrain, shift keeps height above sea; moving objects in builder doesn't jump into pivot, ctrl to move vertically, shift to lock to radius from center, alt - rotation around z, alt+ctrl - pitch, alt+shift - roll
• sandbox keys inherit ufo controls
• sandbox object z-rotation is done in world space
• builder - hold shift to place a non-persistent object, ctrl to place vehicle as a static object
• RFP depth buffer used on cards/drivers that support the required GL extension (all Nvidia cards, AMD Catalyst >=13.12), faster & fewer artefacts
• driver version error box with a clickable link to the latest drivers for the current vendor
• enabled MSAA on newer AMD drivers, added warning about MSAA and <13.4 AMD drivers
• disabled object rendering for AMD <12.10 drivers because of crashes
• updated intel version check & warnings
• faster startup - preloading starts during the login
• flight path recorder using the speed vector for tangents instead of the look vector
• fixed ambiguous sea_level entries in world.cfg
• water rendering fixes, better sun&atmo reflection (TODO: break wave pattern)
• water splash when firing to water
• fixed joystick axis detection
• fixed possible crash on malformed data from non-standard HID devices
• removed clamp on vehicle suspension code that caused sinking on too soft springs
• fixed truck steering wheel
• ufo basic movement actions merged with fps actions
• fixed ufo camera able to sink into ground when starting from atmo & fast
• boats unbraked by default
• added boat wake foam
• fixed vehicle parking when controlled by joystick
• fixed crashes on ~ key for aircraft settings
• fixed dirt roads
• removed old lukla runway code
• catching memory exception & displaying out of memory msgbox instead of a crash
• added global scattering modifier to atmo (can be used to reduce haze)
• white balance effect reduced with dwindling atmo density (fixes weird colors from space on the day/night boundary)
• fixed ocean color on the dark side of planet
• fixed fog on trees, grass, water
• oculus enabled by default if present
• stereo SBS mode fix
• fixed video capture buffer allocation when disk can't keep up
• fixed video recording when wait for vertical refresh is off in drivers
• fixed initial refinement check
• fixed -demo mode to not check the terrain data updates
• fixed crash when version server doesn't respond in time
• fixed openAL performance issues on invisible objects
• disabled smoke on older NV cards

Yay! Thanks for all the work!
Seeing these updates makes me incredibly excited!!!

[John514]

Awesome!

[John514]

Hm...It seems that you may have mixed the LODs of two different rifle models.
Notice the scope as I move the camera away.



Also, I can`t fire the RPG, if its possible!

[cameni]

LOL, how we did not notice that 

Also other known issues - shadows sometimes partially vanishing and lagging one frame.

Material system changes will be documented soon, matlib files are automatically converted to a new mtl format, which also contains better names for material parameters.

[John514]

Also, what is the *tick* sound following every gunshot? Is it suposed to be the echo or something?

[exadeci]

 The jump goes from "hovering" to real jump but really nice update !

[DeanosBeano]

Fantastic !!!!
 I never dreamed this patch would be here so early , this is the best thing that ever happened after i threw money at the screen

Might I suggest adding a non-invasive ambient soundtrack, perhaps a simple piano piece. Right now Anteworld is eerily quiet and this is brought into stark relief with the new addition of being able to walk around. The addition of a relaxing music track would do a great deal in making the exploration aspect of Anteworld more appealing and immersive.

 ... joking ? I choose just hard rock and roll some vehicle wheels around ...

 I think it would go on nerves in due time anyway. Also, there is no problem to start winamp ...
