Changes between Oolite 1.78 and Oolite 1.80:
|
||||
|
||||
General:
|
||||
========
|
||||
* Automatic expansion pack installer now available (not all existing
|
||||
expansion packs are available for automatic installation; manual
|
||||
installation still possible as before)
|
||||
* Strict mode now only disables OXPs rather than making other gameplay
|
||||
changes
|
||||
* New game start screen, including access to a keyboard control
|
||||
summary and a ship specification library
|
||||
* New Tutorial option for starting a game, for a basic flight training
|
||||
course
|
||||
|
||||
Gameplay:
|
||||
=========
|
||||
* Coordinate precision increased, allowing ships to travel much
|
||||
further from the witchpoint without problems
|
||||
* Ship hostility indicator no longer depends on weapon range
|
||||
* New equipment: Integrated Targeting System
|
||||
* Standard HUDs now include primable equipment dials, compass target
|
||||
naming, and multi-function displays. HUD layouts reorganised
|
||||
slightly to fit the extra components in. ';' and ':' keys manage
|
||||
multi-function display (MFD) selection
|
||||
* Major changes to NPC behaviour and AIs, including new courier,
|
||||
smuggler, assassin, pirate leader, bounty hunter leader, pirate
|
||||
raider, thargoid raider and police blockade roles. Significant
|
||||
increases in diversity of ships used for existing roles.
|
||||
* Widened the difficulty gap between Corporate States (now safer) and
|
||||
Anarchy (now far more dangerous) systems. System danger now also
|
||||
depends to an extent on events in neighbouring systems.
|
||||
* Saving the game at stations other than the main system station is
|
||||
now possible; stations added by expansion packs must be flagged by
|
||||
the expansion pack as valid save locations for this to work.
|
||||
* Save game file name and player commander name are now
|
||||
independent. Interface added on F4 to set player commander name and
|
||||
player ship name.
|
||||
* Docking computers now fly a bit faster
|
||||
* Improved short-term and long-term assessment of player actions for
|
||||
more realistic and varied NPC responses
|
||||
* Parcel and passenger contracts made much more varied. High-price
|
||||
high-risk contracts added. Reputation scale increased.
|
||||
* Station rotation slowed down
|
||||
|
||||
Graphics:
|
||||
=========
|
||||
* Graphics settings have changed to merge "shader settings" and
|
||||
"reduced detail" into a single option. There is an 'extra detail'
|
||||
option suitable for dedicated graphics cards.
|
||||
* New look for the sun, including improved corona and a glare effect
|
||||
* New explosion graphics
|
||||
* Core ship models and textures replaced with significantly improved
|
||||
ones by Griff/CaptSolo
|
||||
* New planet and atmosphere graphics (requires 'extra detail')
|
||||
|
||||
Sound:
|
||||
======
|
||||
* Now uses the OpenAL library to give fully positional sound. Supports
|
||||
stereo speakers up to 7.1 or binaural HRTF with headphones.
|
||||
|
||||
Controls:
|
||||
=========
|
||||
* Number pad keys can now be bound independently of arrow keys
|
||||
* Number keys can now be bound independently of function keys
|
||||
* GUI direction keys now independent of flight direction keys
|
||||
* New ';' and ':' keys for multi-function displays
|
||||
* 'tab' and '0' keys are now fast activation keys for primable
|
||||
equipment. Equipment previously using those keys has been rewritten
|
||||
to be primable equipment and will automatically be initially
|
||||
assigned to those keys if it is installed. New interface on F4 to
|
||||
rebind these keys.
|
||||
* New joystick axis configuration interface, allowing much more
|
||||
precise control
|
||||
|
||||
Expansion pack development:
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
Packaging:
|
||||
----------
|
||||
* New compressed OXZ format for easy - and automatic - expansion pack
|
||||
distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
General:
|
||||
--------
|
||||
* Wormholes have a read-only representation
|
||||
* The system populator is now run via Javascript and can be modified
|
||||
by expansion pack scripts. There is also a system repopulator to
|
||||
allow replacement of expected ship losses or departures.
|
||||
* shipdata.plist reorganised to make heavy use of templates. This
|
||||
allows shipset OXPs to be written to take advantage of future
|
||||
changes to core shipdata.
|
||||
* Primable equipment dial added to HUD
|
||||
* Sun colour and background star colour are now separated
|
||||
* Ship cargo is now defined when ships are created
|
||||
* Javascript may be used as a language for ship AIs
|
||||
* Priority-based AI library available for writing Javascript AIs in,
|
||||
with a wide range of predefined behaviours and easy addition of
|
||||
custom behaviours
|
||||
* Mission screens can now have an arbitrary text entry prompt
|
||||
* Waypoints can be added - like a compass target, but not attached to
|
||||
any other entity.
|
||||
* With an Advanced Navigation Array, the '?' key now cycles through
|
||||
different colour highlights
|
||||
* [oolite_key_FOO] description expansion describes keyconfig entry key_FOO
|
||||
* Javascript representation for ship exhausts
|
||||
* Javascript representation for flashers
|
||||
* Description and mission text expansions now use a much better random
|
||||
number generator
|
||||
* Default Javascript properties set from manifest.plist
|
||||
