Could you collect a call stack using the Visual Studio debugger?

I fixed some more things and (I hope) broke fewer things than last time.

Update: Now Gun Towers drop scrap like they should. Huzzah!

This build features a few more bug fixes, particularly vehicles moving too fast in multiplayer at high frame rates (>500).

This build is features a variety of bug fixes and new features with no particular overall theme. In-game chat allows players to send chat messages to allies, which should allow players in team strategy and team deathmatch to coordinate better without resorting to external programs like TeamSpeak. Th...

It'd be nice for Battlezone 1 and Battlezone 2 to get onto Steam and/or Good Old Games.

Update: I fixed the floating mine problem. Derp de derp... Updated Update I fixed the other floating mine problem. There's also new multiplayer-related Lua scripting features and an updated asset pack with the seismic wave thing straightened out, a fixed check.odf, and the direct-impact Day Wrecker...

I haven't changed anything related to collisions in a long time.

The link should be fixed.

I want to try something a bit different: public preview builds. The idea is to get some testing in before we commit to a full release and installer. That way, I won't have to scramble when (not if) I break something. It's like Minecraft weekly snapshots (e.g. 14w30c) versus stable releases (e.g. 1.7...

I'm putting out a new build a lot sooner than I normally would have due to a major multiplayer bug introduced in the previous build and excessive damage on the Day Wrecker explosion. I also cleaned up several problems with the game shell (bad flickering, missing custom cursors), added optional chat ...

Huzzah, maps!

The ZIX file is just list of ZFS pack files followed by a list of all assets from each pack file. The file system reads in the ZIX as a baseline, adds everything it finds in addon, and builds an internal asset database for use by the file system. The zixindex.log is a human-readable listing of all a...

So much for the monthly release cadence I was going for... This build has about two builds' worth of changes, but the thing I'm happiest about is the new debugging and logging features. The game's file system logs the asset index to zixindex.log, listing each asset file and location; this can help t...

Let me know if you find anything screwy or wrong. I'm not as thorough about regression testing as I should be...
