Starfarer 0.52.1a (Released) - Patch Notes
« on: May 06, 2012, 04:34:46 PM »

This version is out - you can download it here.

This release is a bugfix/hotfix release for 0.52a, and so doesn't contain any significant new features.

Changes as of May 06, 2012

Ship AI:
  • Carriers and fire support ships stay out of trouble better, don't get distracted from moving to the designated rally point

Admiral AI:
  • Won't immediately retreat if it was willing to engage in battle on the campaign screen

Miscellaneous:
  • Tabbing out while in fullscreen mode will turn off the sound
  • Added extra row to reserves list in the fleet deployment dialog
  • Weapon flux/second numbers in the refit screen now list the sustained (not burst) flux use for charge-based weapons
  • Plasma Cannon and Antimatter Blaster now generate flux when they fire (instead of as they charge), and will no longer try to fire when there isn't enough flux
  • Crash stack trace now appears at the end of the logfile, instead of before the performance data

Modding-related:
  • Fixed bug where missiles with the RENDER_LOADED_MISSILES_UNLESS_HIDDEN flag would not render in the weapon icon
  • Fixed bug with separateRecoilForLinkedBarrels (it now works)
  • MIRV warheads can now deal EMP damage - use "emp":<value>
  • Changed code structure to avoid ConcurrentModificationException coming up when adding new orbital stations or planets under some conditions
  • Made cargo/refit/fleet grid color changeable by mods
  • Added to StarSystemAPI:
    • List<CampaignFleetAPI> getFleets();
    • List<SectorEntityToken> getPlanets();
    • List<SectorEntityToken> getOrbitalStations();
    • List<SectorEntityToken> getAsteroids();
  • Added to CampaignFleetAPI:
    • FactionAPI getFaction();
    • Vector2f getVelocity();
  • Generics are now used in the API to show parameter/return value types more clearly, still can NOT be used in scripts (JANINO limitation)


Bugfixes:
  • Fixed bug where suspended repairs would still continue to use up supplies
  • Fixed fleet speed computation bug when the slowest ship in the fleet is a fighter
  • Fixed issue with mod list not having enough vertical space to display all the mods properly
  • Fixed bug that was causing deployed ships to sometimes take extra damage in the post-battle calculations
  • Fixed intermittent bug with cargo capacity not updating when picking up part of a stack
  • Fixed crew movement bonus displayed on the tooltip (was showing 2x the actual bonus)
  • Fixed bug with damaged fighter wing returning to carrier over and over again when there aren't enough supplies for repairs
  • Fixed bug that was causing the random mission to be re-rolled on exiting the refit screen
  • Fixed bug that let you sell/mothball your last ship
  • Fixed bug with checking to see if ship hulks are in the way before firing
  • Fixed bug that could cause your fleet to end up with multiple ships tagged as flagship
  • Fixed bug where it was possible to switch tabs in the UI in the same frame as taking another action (such as picking up an item)
  • Fixed bug where if you were out of supplies, buying more and then repairing at the station didn't work
  • Fixed bug that caused player ship to not fire some turret-based weapon groups when on auto-pilot
  • Fixed crash after loss in combat simulation when entered from the mission refit screen (not campaign)
  • Fixed crash on pressing "more info" on a custom ship variant that has been exported

Sorry but.. Is it out yet? Is it out yet? Is it out yet?

I can't start a new game, because the new version is coming today, but I can't stand the waiting so I have to refresh the forums every 30 seconds :(
