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.
|
||||
* Do not leak world creation time in files utility, because that
|
||||
facilitates attacks against fairland's PRNG. Broken in 4.3.12.
|
||||
* Fix starvation not to starve one more than it should. The last man
|
||||
on a boat or land unit now can't starve anymore.
|
||||
* Fix a crash bug in satellite. Broken in 4.2.7 and not fixed
|
||||
correctly in 4.2.12.
|
||||
* Fix a coordinate normalization bug that could theoretically lead to
|
||||
buffer overruns and other unpleasantness. None have been
|
||||
reproduced, though. Broken in 4.3.12.
|
||||
* Remove option FUEL. The abstract idea of tying ships and land
|
||||
units to a logistical tether is sound, the concrete implementation
|
||||
as option FUEL is flawed. It adds too much busy-work to the game
|
||||
to be enjoyable. It hasn't been enabled in a public game for
|
||||
years. The code implementing it is ugly, repetitive, and a burden
|
||||
to maintain. The edit command still accepts and ignores the fuel
|
||||
keys for compatibility, but they are deprecated.
|
||||
* Fix pin-bomb not to report subs when there are none.
|
||||
* You now have to take a capital to capture the victim's money, loans
|
||||
or market lots. Merely obliterating the capital doesn't cut it.
|
||||
It still makes the victim lose money, though.
|
||||
* Fix a bug that could theoretically allow sacking of non-existant
|
||||
capitals of visitors, deities and such.
|
||||
* You now gain BTUs and MOB_ACCESS mobility before the first update
|
||||
again. You didn't since 4.3.10 introduced the ETU clock.
|
||||
* Fix edit to detect when the edited object changes while it's being
|
||||
edited.
|
||||
* Fix xdump nat for relations: it got HIDDEN backwards. Broken in
|
||||
4.3.12.
|
||||
* Fix origin command not to prompt twice for its argument. Broken in
|
||||
4.3.0.
|
||||
* Info file improvements.
|
||||

Changes to Empire 4.3.14 - Mon May 5 04:57:03 UTC 2008
|
||||
* Another round of fixes to the fire command:
|
||||
- Don't disclose where the target retreated to.
