Added features:  (these are both trivial changes)

-radar_reduce [float]

the "Infinity" range on the radar is by default 10,000,000 meters - this flag overrides it at sets it to the floating point argument.  This will come in handly when full Waypoint support is added post 3.7, but it is useful now for primative nav point support

Time compression boosted
The max time compression value is now 64x!  This is another thing that will come in handy for primative and then future full navpoint support


There are some changes and other bugfixes present - i think there may be some bugfixes in the OpenGL area but the others will have to weigh in on what they've commited

Post-3.7?  Is that feature _that_ far away?

adding full waypoint support would be a code freeze violation - as i would be altering HUD, adding a new screen, adding some new internal functions that take control away from the player

We do have a sexp that orders ai control of the player ship.  Theoretically, it someone linked keys for the player to activate and deactivate this sexp in-mission, events could be lined to them to initiate waypoint orders on the ai-controled player-ship... in effect creating an autopilot... theoretically of course.

Later!

Trivial Psychic: i did that - that's simple support - i want to have full support as the sexps are a little unreliable and I want to have a map in .. all post 3.6 features

These releases are all about bug-testing. You don't need to keep up to date just to play the game. :)

Download these releases only if you want to help find and report bugs or if they fix a particular bug you had.

It goes without saying though that you guys are doing a great job, keep it up - the bugs can't go on forever and it's worth it to make things hassle free later. Well done :yes:

This is strange...when was it added in that I have to put the -spec tag before starting the exe, or else it won't have specular lighting?
And none of the new effects I just put in are working...poo :(

About a month ago IIRC.

It was decided that besides -htl, the eye candy should be off by default.

 
you'll need -spec -glow -jpgtga to get all the fun stuff working.

and -fps -allslev -FOV 0.39 are a good idea too.

This release works quite well! (Still didn't fix my bug, but what the hell)

-allslev? This does? And it wasn't in the launcher, IIRC.

 
It allows you to choose any level in the current campaign in the tech room if you've played the first mission before.

 
This might sound insane but, are we ever going to see the ability to change FSO settings INGAME? like, adjust FOV on-the-fly, or ambient light factors, or toggle specular, shinemaps, glowmaps, etc, etc...? ....so we dont have to change the flags and restart FSO every damn time we want to change something?
