Comments

I added the 1.08 Change Log just in case people were thinking only a little bit has been done. I had forgotten how extensive the changes were.--Knighttemplar 20:52, 14 July 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, it'll be fun going through here and deleting all the inner-RC changes (like the fixed such and such in RC 2) and sorting all of this into added, modified and fixed groups. I nominate Lobster.--Knighttemplar 13:19, 1 August 2007 (EDT)

Shoot, I think notepad would crash. This is like 30 pages of stuff added, fixed or modified. Then again, I don't think we really need to list most of the fixes to new additions, only the additions themselves and anything altered related to 1.07.-- L3TUC3 13:48, 1 August 2007 (EDT)

*Fixed (RC2): commander could still use the grenadier armor info skill in his interface ^^Thought that should have stayed in--Knighttemplar 21:37, 4 August 2007 (EDT)

1.08 Change Log Sandbox

Unreleased: Version 1.08

Version 1.08 Beta Build 139/RC 18 Changes:

Added

Fixed

Modified

Removed

Added: vehicles can now be customized at a repair station:

Bring up the vehicle build GUI as the driver of a vehicle, and run through the steps of building a new vehicle of the same chassis. You will pay the difference between the two loadouts or get a refund. The vehicle build GUI will list the difference between the two loadouts as the total cost. Armor repair levels will be set to 0 as a penalty. Hull health will remain the same.

Fixed: bug with client-side player movement where certain buildings would cause the player to jitter up and down (caused by server-side physics shadow and network variable inaccuracy)
Modified: changed the client-side player movement code to run with the same tick time as the server (will this cause lagged players to move slower?)

Fixed: the commander was able to recycle an engineer built turret
Modified: altered squad HUD member listing to only show each member's name and their health
Fixed: enemy engineer deconstructing a vehicle would send a voice alert that the commander was under attack
Added: alerts to the left side of the commander GUI for when a player/vehicle/building is attacked/destroyed which lists the event happening and clicking on the alert will move the commander camera to that location
Fixed: in commander interface, commander was able to order units to attack enemy units that were shrouded in his fog of war
Fixed: in commander interface, ordering a unit to attack multiple targets would not clear his previous orders, ie, if he were guarding a building before being ordered to attack multiple targets, he would be told to attack the new targets as well as the building he was guarding
Fixed: in commander interface, dragging a box around units could be done too quickly, causing it to be ignored
Added: 'emp_comm_jumptoalert' console command which will center the commander camera over an alert's location
