Version 0.7.11.3060- fixed collisions with displaced rocky terrain
- changed torque profile to hyperbolic
- optimized memory consumption when jumping between locations or moving from the ground level high up and back
Version 0.7.11.3053Version 0.7.11.3049- added insertion/deletion of road nodes.
- use Del key to delete currently selected road waypoint.
- use Ins key to split the active road segment (highlighted in green color), inserting a new road node.
Note: these features weren't thoroughly tested yet, please backup your roads and objects first (copy the cache folder) - Reworked how the procedurally generated data are read back from ATI GPUs for collision purposes. The new way is much faster, and should result in much smoother movement on ATI hardware (like on Nvidia).
- Please report if you see any missing tiles as the result of this update (should not occur, but ...) - iomap.cfg changed to iomap.default.cfg to avoid clashes when data dir is the same as the program dir
Version 0.7.11.3042- Added pseudo-flight mode in UFO. Enabled by the "Toggle auto roll ctrl" key (check the controls setup, in new installs it's on the 'Home' key), which cycles through the modes. The current mode is briefly displayed in lower left corner.
You can also set mouse invert mode specifically for this mode in the 'Controllers' tab in control settings. - fixed building placement
Version 0.7.11.3034Fixes bad states in object loader, that were causing crashes after world initialization, or objects not loaded at all.
Version 0.7.11.3028- fixed steering being dependent on the frame rate
- fixed deadzone/linearity again
- fixed stuck brake
- fixed messed up parameters for pads under buildings
Version 0.7.11.3024- added checksum verification for terrain base descriptor files
- extended configurable linearity range to include oversensitive values
- fixed simulation pausing on vehicles when moving back with brake pressed
- fixed crash on selecting a damaged pad
- added listing of loaded modules into eng.log, for detection of programs that may interfere with rendering

- fixed tile cache size computation with narrow aspect ratios
- fixed human model movement sensitivity
Version 0.7.11.3016- adjustable deadzone and linearity for joysticks
- adjustable mouse sensitivity
- added invert mouse checkbox
- centering speed of vehicles with keyboard control now depends on the speed
- pads are loosely associated with buildings, they are moved and deleted together
objects are selected on insert - extended HID buttons count to 48
- implemented HID logging*
- fixed Schrödinger's-cat type bug** causing that configuration wasn't saved sometimes
- fixed crash when package instance doesn't load
* If you have problems with axes not being detected, please set enable_hid_logging=true in eng.cfg, run the app and exercise with the axis a while, and send us the log so we can inspect what is coming from the hardware.
** If you made changes in one config panel, closed it and quit, everything worked. However, if you reopened the same config panel to check whether the values stayed there, they were still there, but after this verification they no longer saved at exit. When they didn't save, in the next session people went into the config, double checked the values are being set, which of course lead again to that they weren't saved. Only when you resigned and didn't check anymore, you got it changed in the next session. All this while we wondered what people were doing when it clearly worked for us
Version 0.7.11.3007Keyboard steering speed was boosted, and steering/centering speed is also configurable in world.cfg (you can change sun position or change terrain settings to force it to write new world.cfg with added settings).
Steering speed depends on the vehicle speed, whereas the centering speed does not.
Version 0.7.11.3004- worked around driver crashes nearby the water on ATI 4xxx and 5xxx cards
- fixed open sea water graphics bug
- fixed throttle/collective handling with additional joystick devices
- fixed joystick button issues in controls
- better tree texture
- fixed error reporting when iomap.cfg gets corrupted
Nvidia 2xx owners please check if the water fix didn't fix the random crash issue on your cards as well. We've got a 285 card that was reported to experience crashes but were unable to get any on the version that contained the water fix. But it may be another issue, maybe some program that you are running that affects it.
Version 0.7.11.2992- added fading status window for heli/plane values
- fixed joystick button issues in plane/heli
- added ISS on key 2 - can be placed in space
- fixed roll in ufo mode
- fixed autoroll control toggle
- relaxed driver version check to allow FireGL cards with the latest drivers to pass (still produces warning though)
Version 0.7.11.2992:- fixed startup issue with Win XP for real
- relaxed the coefficient that reserves GPU memory with adjusted terrain quality - previous one was too pessimistic and used much more than it actually needed
Windows XP users that updated to 2989/2900 version please download and run this patch manually:
Anteworld-0.7.11.2968.patch-2992.exeVersion 0.7.11.2989:- added FOV to graphics config (doesn't need restart)
- automatic limiter adjustment taking the terrain quality, FOV and aspect ratio into account
Previously you had to adjust the fractal tile limit when you adjusted the quality, now it's automated. It also enlarges the tile cache when you use a higher FOV or a higher aspect ratio. Be sure you have enough memory on your card - if you run out of the GPU memory, the card will start swapping and the performance will go down rapidly - added disable_composition to render_config it disable Aero if it set to true
- fixed USB device detection on Win XP
- fixed crashes on Win XP64
- road tangents can be set to fit the previous or next segment. Still need to write a blog post explaining it all ...
- fixed Google maps edit mode when opened from sandbox
- fixed road selection (degenerate endpoints)
Version 0.7.11.2985:- fixed crash when going fast at high altitudes
- fixed HID issues on WinXP
- entering sandbox will switch you to ufo mode
- hidden debug keys
Version 0.7.11.2982:- added "Restart to apply" button to graphics settings
- upped the speed limit to 200km/s
- fixed speed multiplier degrading when pushed to extreme values
- fixed black propeller issue
- fixed crash when placing very long roads
- fixed crash after failed initialization of graphics, added message box stating opengl initialization failure
- profile for notebooks with switchable graphics with Nvidia chips is now created automatically
