Topic title says it all.

[Solatar]

Geo-modding, holographic projection, and a sequel?

Well, in all seriousness, 3.6.9 seems pretty stable (at least to me) so 3.6.10 should have much more than bugfixes if I'm calculating right.

[Turey]

Shaders, Normal Mapping, and support for cards without D3D or OGL. 

[Mars]

Shaders,

For ATI cards too I hope?

Normal Mapping,

what will become of all of the hi-poly models? A lot of the details on some of them won't have much use... will they?

and support for cards without D3D or OGL. 

Say what? 

[Herra Tohtori]

Here's what I'd like to see...

DX10 and OpenGL 3.0 support
Physics card compatibility (gravity weapons, atmospheric flight, projectile trajectories, genuine flak modeling)
Digital Molecular Matter (basically gives geomodding as a bonus!)
Support for 7.1 Surround sound and EAX up to 4.0
AI that passes the Turing test with an in-built TTS support
Trade system and fleet control in a Total War style 3D-universe, which zooms into battle area either into traditional FS2 mission (1st person control of a single fighter/bomber) or a Fleet Commander style view which doesn't give you control over individual units but instead you get to try how being the GTVA Command feels like
Teeth-whitening feature

...what? I'm dead serious.

Well it was worth a try.

New multiplayer code, IIRC, will at least be in. Dunno about other stuff, although sound system could use a surround feature IMHO. ANd possibly AI changes. I'm not certain about new pilot code, that might be put into 3.7.

It would be nice if someone could post what REALLY will be new in 3.6.10
instead of writng out all your wet dreams.

[Herra Tohtori]

New multiplayer code, AFAIK that at least will be in 3.6.10.

How? No one really knows, I think...
Just wait for it!

[Koth]

I'd say that Taylor or Goober know that is planned for 3.6.10.
C'mon you two it's not that hard to post a few sentences.

[MP-Ryan]

I'm curious to know if the fix for the infamous red-alert bug is going in 3.6.10, or if that's going to be introduced down the road further.

[taylor]

3.6.10 is going to be released next month, so it's not like there is a lot of time to add any really cool, new features.  It's just a basic progression from 3.6.9, that's all.

3.6.10 will be:
 - new FS2NetD code with cross-platform support and support for modular tables
 - bunch of bugs from 3.6.9 fixed
 - a few new things for mods to take advantage of
 - minor performance optimizations
 - changes to the ships lab to make it more useful
 - reduced memory footprint (by about half)
 - removal of AVI/MPG movie player code (only MVE and OGG Theora are supported)
 - now OpenGL only (D3D is no longer functional)

And yes, that red-alert bug should be fixed.  But you can test that for sure as soon as the first RC build gets released in another week or two.

Yay! Now I can play Awakenings!

[Polpolion]

I thought you guys were just trying to get the new Media VPs out?

There are actually ways to work around the red alert issues even now, but the missions need to be designed with it in mind. It took a ton of work (and some very ugly hacks), but I got the red alert missions in PI working just before the release.

The new vps will benefit from some of the features of 3.6.10, so they will be released together.

[achtung]

What I'd like to see in a near-future release:

Improved wide-screen support.

[Game_Master64]

still say it should be 3.7.0

[TrashMan]

the improved tables...they in 3.6.10 or in 3.7.0.?

[ShivanSpS]

If someone has to fix anything to the red-alert code i hope they will also fix the red-alert bug when you launch the red-alert when the player is docked to something, the results are... well, funny, thats cause that any other ship in the next mission whit  a "red alert carry status" to become invisible LOL!

The bug of player be able to use afterburners in AI control mode is also horrible

Oh come on... DX10 is a joke.... OGL 4ever!.

BTW, what about the FRED ability to modified a table entry by a sexp?
