Changes to Empire 4.3.16 - Sun Aug 3 01:26:36 UTC 2008
|
||||
* Remove undocumented key 'd' at bomb ship, plane and land unit
|
||||
target prompts.
|
||||
* Fix land unit flak when pin-bombed to match flak when overflown:
|
||||
proportional to efficiency, and randomly rounded. Was missed in
|
||||
4.3.6.
|
||||
* Don't permit bombing of embarked planes and land units.
|
||||
* Fix capital maintenance to charge at 60% efficiency.
|
||||
* launch command now requires only 40% plane efficiency, for
|
||||
consistency with other ways to launch missiles.
|
||||
* Disable collateral damage when automatically launched missiles miss
|
||||
their target. Collateral damage was done even when the launch
|
||||
failed or the missile got intercepted. It's been disabled for
|
||||
manually launched missiles since 4.0.18, for the same reason.
|
||||
* Fix a bug that corrupted the lostitems file. Broken in 4.3.12.
|
||||
* Show command changes:
|
||||
- Move product information from "show sect c" into new "show
|
||||
product", and reformat it to be easier to understand.
|
||||
- New column navigability in "show sect s".
|
||||
- "show sect s" now shows the packing bonus type instead of
|
||||
selected packing bonuses. "show item" shows the actual bonuses
|
||||
for each type.
|
||||
- "show sect b" now shows the usual values in addition to unusual
|
||||
ones.
|
||||
* Fix interdiction to obey op-area for missiles.
|
||||
* Fix a bug that caused a stale sources.mk to be distributed in the
|
||||
4.3.14 an 4.3.15 tarballs. The latter does not build out of the
|
||||
box because of that.
|
||||
* Don't strip tab characters from quoted command arguments. Broken
|
||||
in 4.2.21.
|
||||
* shutdown commands now always take effect immediately. Before, they
|
||||
could be delayed by up to a minute.
|
||||
* shutdown could start multiple shutdown threads when you initiated a
|
||||
shutdown shortly after cancelling one. This screwed up the timing
|
||||
of the shutdown.
|
||||
* Deity syntax of zdone changed, and is now documented in info.
|
||||
* The threshold command could be tricked into accepting negative
|
||||
thresholds.
|
||||
* Fix bdes and designate to always write updated bmap to disk.
|
||||
* Fix bomb to fail on empty <pin|strat> argument instead of flying
|
||||
without bombs.
|
||||
* Fix a bug in distribute that screwed up the current sector's
|
||||
distribution center when the command got aborted.
|
||||
* Commands arm, bomb, deliver, drop, fire, fly, paradrop, recon,
|
||||
lmine, order, power, range, sail, shutdown, sweep and tend did not
|
||||
honor command abortion at some prompts.
|
||||
* Fix a bug in handling of EOF from client that could bite in the
|
||||
following ways:
|
||||
- EOF at target prompts for bombing commodities, ships, planes and
|
||||
land units sent the server into an infinite loop that ate all
|
||||
memory.
|
||||
- EOF at sail's path prompt crashed the server.
|
||||
- EOF at some prompts in deliver, designate, fly, morale, zdone,
|
||||
attack and assault didn't abort the command.
|
||||
Broken in 4.3.11.
|
||||
* Selector terr is now the same as terr0 for mortal players, and
|
||||
dterr for deities. This matches how the territory command works.
|
||||
Unfortunately, this required us to rename xdump sect field terr to
|
||||
terr0. Sorry about that.
|
||||
* Fix bomb not to let you bomb dead ships and land units.
|
||||
* Make the retreat command a bit more helpful on retreat conditions,
|
||||
and make it fail on bad conditions.
|
||||
* Fix the mapper scripts. Broken in 4.2.0.
|
||||
* Fix flying commands not to let planes do double duty as escorts.
|
||||
Broken in 4.3.12.
|
||||
* When a minesweeper hit a mine after sweeping, the mine wasn't used
|
||||
up. If it sank the minesweeper, the code accessed freed memory,
|
||||
which could clobber the ship file or worse. Broken in 4.0.17.
|
||||
* Don't let non-light units board ships that can't carry them.
|
||||
* Capitals can now employ up to 1000 civilians instead of 999.
|
||||
* Spy command changes:
|
||||
- Spy now requires sector military. Before, presence of land units
|
||||
was sufficient, but spies shot were only deduced from sector
|
||||
military. If you lost more spies than you had sector military,
|
||||
the rest came back from the dead.
|
||||
- Spy no longer ignores non-sea sectors without civilians, military
|
||||
and land units.
|
||||
- Remove columns lnd, pln from spy report. The values didn't match
|
||||
the reported land units and planes, and could leak the presence
|
||||
of spy units.
|
||||
- Establish contact when spy succeeds even though the spy was
|
||||
caught.
|
||||
* Fix news reporting and damage when land units interdict ships in
|
||||
sectors other than sea.
|
||||
* Fix land unit return fire damage to ships to take accuracy into
|
||||
account, like the fire command and interdiction does.
|
||||
* Remove the inconsistent shelling damage reduction for range. Fire
|
||||
command got damage reduced by 10-20% with a chance depending on
|
||||
range ("Wind deflects shells"). Ships interdicting got it reduced
|
||||
by half. Other ways to shell did not get damage reduced for range.
|
||||
* Fix ground combat to report defending land units. Broken in 4.3.4.
|
||||
* Info file and documentation fixes and improvements.
|
||||

||||
Changes to Empire 4.3.15 - Sun May 18 08:59:30 UTC 2008
|
||||
* The edit command keys deprecated in 4.3.10 are now gone.
|
||||
* fairland now obeys game file locks.

|
|||
- Fix ammunition use when returning fire: resupply could lose
|
||||
shells when returning fire to multiple targets, and land units
|
||||
were charged per target instead of just once.
|

- Interdicting land units now resupply shells automatically, for

consistency with other ways to fire.
|

- torpedo and fire no longer resupply shells automatically. The

latter used to resupply land units only.
