World War II Europe 1939-1945 / Re: WWII-Europe Campaign Scenario #102 Update

« Last post by schwerpt on Today at 04:42:28 AM »

Hello,

End of the month status.  Steady progress on building the Eastern Front Campaign scenarios:

#42, #52, #57, #64 All 100% complete
#72  25% complete
#81  25% complete
#88  25% complete
#95  Have not started, but this is an easy scenario to build, so I added it to v1.0.12.  It is a concatenate of #96 and #97 with tweaks.

Current version is v1.0.11, with v1.0.12 being built.  v1.0.12 includes the monster #102 Campaign scenario with code changes, along with these Eastern Front Campaign scenarios.  V1.0.11 has 89 scenarios, while v1.0.12 will have 95 of the planned 102 scenarios.

Thanks for your continued patience.

As for Artemis I, we had a successful Wet Dress Rehearsal #4, and roll back from the Pad to the VAB will start very soon.  The vehicles will undergo final prep for launch currently planned for late August.  There were five WDRs for the first shuttle flight, so this is not unusual for the first flights.

Hope everyone is doing well.
Ron

Japo32 and Ssnake have a reasonable debate about the value of version 4.3: https://www.steelbeasts.com/topic/15853-im-now-confused-as-to-which-pre-order/

Version 5.0 will do away with DirectX 9. The first version 5 application will be finished this year. But we will have to develop a number of version 5 applications that we may then fuse into one integrated package later (or keep separate; e.g. from a functional perspective a Map Editor could be kept a separate program without loss of convenience for the user) before we can present it as a "Steel Beasts version 5" to the general public. The execution phase with all the combat vehicles and explosions, the fun part, will take longest to convert. So, in all likelihood there will be one or two more intermediary versions, shall we call them "4.5" and "4.8" or something like that.

Distant Worlds 2 - Update v1.0.4.9
Tue, June 28, 2022



Hello everyone,

here's the changelog of the latest update:

FLEETS, SHIPS AND FIGHTERS
• Fixed bug that was sometimes blocking some fleet missions when Military Attack automation was manually controlled
• Prevent fleet ships from escorting their Core ships while they are still exiting construction/repair hangar
• 'Join ships to fleet' button now properly filters out any non-military selected ships when adding them to the fleet
• Fixed fighters sometimes using wrong weapons attack range (too low)
• Ensure fighters retain capture mission, assisting carriers to lower shields and capture target

CHARACTERS AND INTELLIGENCE MISSIONS
• Ensure character bonuses at location (colony, ship, fleet, base) only apply to characters from own empire (e.g. not foreign ambassadors)
• Altered intelligence mission difficulty thresholds so that spies more willing to attempt riskier missions. See updated tooltip for Mission Difficulty Caution in Intelligence Missions section of Empire Policy screen for new levels
• Ensure specified percentage of spies properly used for counter-intelligence (Counter Intelligence Ratio in Empire Policy)

SPACE CREATURES
• Ensure creatures do not get too far from horizontal plane (vertical offset)
• Ensure creatures do not go too close to stars, thus being difficult to attack

OTHER
• Research summary in header now shows when a project is being crash researched
• Extended research hover summary in header to also show queued research projects
• Fixed minor text display bugs in some game events
• Fixed Prime Research Station story event sending repeated messages when Suppress Messages turned on in game settings
