Liking the menu adjustable FOV. Definitely good to have on wider monitors these days.
Some things I"ve noticed:
1- Loving the new(?) font. Any chance that mission briefings and debriefings could be put into this font? The all smallcaps is still distracting to read in such large amounts.
2 - Prop models on maps are dark now. See the bridge on Bridges, or the buildings on the Pluto maps, or the crystals in the Dark Planet mission. For some reason they are almost black. I tried it with both the stock and my new versions, and they were both oddly dark.
3 - Preplaced/editor placed Gun Spires now sit above the ground, leaving a raised area. It’s not a huge problem, but does seem like something that would be nice to avoid.
4 - When I would have units selected and give a menu "Attack" order, the available targets' "red line, and number circle" would only show up when the radar pinged. Didn't it used to stay visible the whole time? If so, it would be nice to have that back.

I could have sworn this has always been like this, I remember this when I was making maps in 1.3pb5 or something like that.
I've been lurking....

Hmm… for the past year in my BZII, the gun spires were always flat on the ground as they’re supposed to be. And I’m pretty sure (but I wouldn’t stake my life on it) that I used a clean install of BZII before applying 1.365. Now the other day when I loaded 1.37a, on top of 1.365, that’s when I noticed them sitting higher with this new hill thing. But since I’m getting the impression this is what others have already been seeing(?) this doesn’t seem to be an issue of a clean install or not.

I don’t have it in front of me, but I vaguely remember something in the new changelog about how buildings need to have something adjusted in their class(?) because of some new terrain thing. I’m thinking that whatever it is, it simply got missed in the Gun Spires.(?)

Also are people seeing the dark prop models? This one seems more of a visual issue than the high sitting gun spires anyway.

And the changing away from smallcaps in the briefings / debriefings.

And fixing the game so I always win. :)

this is what i see:

bridge

that what you see, too?

as for the spire, i have always had to adjust the height value when placing the spires so they don't pop up on me. does the bottom of your spire differ much from the stock one?

been meaning to mention WinMerge to you if you aren't already using it; sweet tool. 8-)

http://winmerge.org/

agreed about the mission fonts, and there's that bar at the end, too.

hmmm, actually having a bar at the end isn't always bad :P

From PB7 Changelog:

Code: Select all

- Fix for bugzilla #462 - for class i76building (ONLY, not including
derived classes), defaulted lightingType=1. Compiles, but is
untested. [NM]
So, put LightingType = 0 under [GameObjectClass] to restore old behavior. Though, Red Devil's Screenshot looks sexy as hell, what does yours look like Coxxon?

P.S.: I also recommend Windows Grep for finding things.

This is what I'm seeing. Images are from independent clean installs of pb1.365 and pb 1.7a. Brightness is default, shadows are set to low.
This seems to be happening with all sorts of prop models (i76buildings it seems). I'm all for trying new things, but the super dark shadows just don't seem to be an improvement. Actually, maps in general seem to be darker

AND ON THE BUILDING ISSUE:
pb1365 - flat on ground

pb137a - raised, and, in this case, tearing the terrain since it's sitting at the corner of a scrap pool

Just an FYI I am working on LuaMission again integrating work GBD did. Hopefully it will actually be usable some time.

Keeping up with the patches so I am on the cutting edge of DLL source.
