Antipodes is a staging ground for changes that will eventually make their way into trunk. Antipodes should not be considered stable.
Antipodes is released in Debug (non-SSE), Release (non-SSE) and Release (SSE2) builds on Windows in order to facilitate testing and debugging.
Additionally, Antipodes provides PDBs for debug build call stack generation.
The current schedule is:
Antipodes #6: Speed Racer (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=71692.0) (Committed r6627 (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=71842.0))
Antipodes #7: Swifty's HUD code (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=69858.0) (Committed r6833) (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=72205.0)
Antipodes #8: Taylor's new pilot code (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=72359.0) (Committed r9561-9563 (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=73257.0))
Antipodes #never: Zacam and Flaming_Sword - new EFF material (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=66361.0) (SCP Internal), progress unknown
Antipodes #9:SDL Everywhere (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=86035.0), Haptic support everywhere (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=50347.msg1377705#msg1377705), apply SDL2 to the entire platform base, including Windows, and apply Taylor's new SDL_Haptic joystick code updates
Antipodes #10: Wanderer's Objecttypes expansion (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=55081.0) (Take #2 (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=86036.0)), to fully support creation of new ship types
The Antipodes schedule is subject to change at short notice, and this will be reflected here.
Antipodes will generally follow the checklist on the Wiki (as of Antipodes #5):
Antipodes Commit Checklist (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Antipodes_Commit_Checklist)
The reason we do this is because these are not small, isolated changes, but rather larger changes that may need more checking than others.
-
The voice rec/speech code overhaul might deserve a slot too :)
A user did post a supposedly working proof of concept for this recently. Haven't heard much about it since.
-
can we also get fred2 builds with antipodes?
-
what is the "new EFF material" supposed to mean? finer controls in eff's or?
-
A container file-type so that instead of having 60+ DDS files spamming a directory for an Animated Glowmap or weapon effect, you just have one file that houses them all in a way that FSO will read. But it probably will mean finer controls as well.
-
Antipodes schedule updated to reflect the major code changes currently coming down the pipe.
-
Antipodes Commit Checklist hasn't changed for years. It could include the Windows 10 operating system.
-
True, we should update that page, thanks.
-
I thought that with the move to git/github, antipodes 9 (SDL 2 everywhere) would be the last antipodes. Everything else would just be a PR, perhaps with more discussion than a normal PR, but the same process.
-
Yeah, but that page should probably still be checked over for SDL everywhere, and perhaps used as a consideration for all future major overhauls.
-
Thanks for the heads up :D
-
I was almost going to suggest that we close this, and then I saw that we had one more significant feature that we never got around to. The Objecttypes table expansion to allow creation of entirely new ship types. The feature itself has had code written for it that is almost a decade old now. It always did seem like a useful feature though, but since I doubt Wanderer can be asked to dive into it again every five years, I wondered if there's anyone else interested in carrying the torch?
-
Does somebody have the aforementioned code saved, since the attachment was deleted many years ago? If so, I'd be willing to put in the effort to adapt it to current master.

I think the first one is the original from 2008, and the second one is one that someone had updated against a later SVN in 2009. If there was anything updated in 2013 I don't think I have it.

I'll take a look; thanks.
