Engine v.79, Scripts v.169, l33t chatt8r

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,782 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 This patch includes: * Bugfixes on 'take control of squadmates cars' * Added an option in the in-game menu to block squadmates from controlling your cars if your connection drops * Added 2 new graphics options: (1) force triangles, (2) disable compiled vertex arrays (VAs) ? both are worth trying as they may improve your framerate or other graphics glitches on certain operating systems and graphics drivers. * Fixed up some of the dust colours and intensities, e.g. on the dirt roads * I finally got the chat boxes to stay at their current scroll position when new text is added, i.e. only auto-scroll when already at the end. This took about 3 hours. Ah, the little things?. ;-) * The new channel chat system! w00t! ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jan 8, 2008, 2:54 pm

*Ayjona* Edgerunners Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 515 Joined: Dec 6, 2006 The new chat system is a dream. In one swift move, you've rid us of all our communicative confusion. I also like the fact that some messages have been moved to the "Server Messages" window. It is strange how I felt the game was polished and entertaining enough when I first found it, but yet options and functions turn up that I cannot be without from the first time I use them... ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Jan 8, 2008, 4:02 pm

Continued thanks for all your hard work. ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Jan 8, 2008, 6:17 pm

Continued thanks for all your hard work. It needed to be done for the last 2 years! The reason I left it so long was because of its convolutedness. I'm pleased it's finally done! ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jan 8, 2008, 7:34 pm

As you may be aware or not, such options fix problems with Vista and graphic glitches (as reported in Windows section). I have also been testing such options on my iMac, and it seems faster than before. Worth the try.  ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Jan 8, 2008, 7:50 pm

*JD_Basher* Gearjammers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Storytellers Posts: 2,728 Joined: Feb 11, 2007 I agree......much needed changes nicely added Sam...... One nit pick though........ You know how you have the pop-up says your event is about to start? Can you make THAT certain event show up as a different color in the upcoming events list? Only the event that pertains to either their driver in the case of race events or the scout for wilds runs. I have noticed quite a few people have not noticed that their event is "LIVE" and had others tell them to join it. Me included. ......................... vet marshal wv cont Posted Jan 9, 2008, 12:30 am

OrionQ Bourgeois Stalkers Sunday Driver Renegade Group: Members Posts: 34 Joined: Sep 30, 2007 I second that, JD. I am ecstatic to report that I just finished a gates of ss encounter, and there was no framerate hit!  Normally that map is a slideshow and very very frustrating!  Great graphics additions, Sam! ......................... vet Posted Jan 9, 2008, 2:09 am

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,782 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 I'm pleased to hear that OrionQ. Apparently there are bugs in the graphics drivers supplied for Vista in particular, which were causing the framerate problems.  Thanks to vikk for alerting me to those options. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jan 9, 2008, 12:35 pm

*viKKing* Skulls And Bones Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 4,249 Joined: Oct 12, 2006 Thanks Sam for listening to me. Could we have a hotkey to switch between chat windows someday? Or is it something uneasy to do? ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Jan 9, 2008, 7:55 pm
