I like the AWACS dome idea. Makes no sense, but looks clear and distinct. And who knows what future tech looks like anyway?

Sorry. This will be much improved in the next release.

We had a strange issue with our VM that stopped communicating with the outside world. Thanks a lot to pcdummy for helping us fix the issue!

I had a look at the new ECM visual changes in-game (sorry for being so late - been really busy the last few weeks), and I really do not like them. The yellow turret looks really out of place, and the blur is hard to see. I agree that the blur I made originally was not all that visually appealing, bu...

I don't quite like how it becomes yellow, no matter what your team colour is - I'm worried that might be confusing. Also, why yellow? Not sure that the radar detector turret is a good source of inspiration, colour-wise.

Haven't looked at the blurring change yet, will try to look at it soon.

It looks that way... It doesn't work?

You can safely install multiple, non-portable instances with different minor version (ie 2.3, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 etc) side by side, but installing multiple instances of the game with the same minor version can lead to issues, and is therefore not recommended (but can still work).

You do realize that you are replying to a 9 year old thread? This is generally considered a bad thing to do.

I don't really like the idea of us using our own, proprietary string class. I think UTF-8 has won the unicode wars, and we use that everywhere for storage. QString uses UTF-16 for weird historical reasons, but that is a dead end. UTF > 8 means lots of unnecessary conversions, where we could just pas...

It is a current engine limitation. You can have shadows OR you can have alpha. (Yes, this is really stupid. We need to change the shadow drawing implementation. But I doubt that will happen before the forthcoming release.)

What version are you comparing it to, and what Mac are you running on?

Change has been pushed. Now everyone please help proof-reading it, and someone please add support for it into the other build systems.

Thanks. Not sure if I see any difference in output from the empty newlines you added? https://github.com/perim/warzone2100/bl ... ripting.md But it doesn't hurt either, and readability looks better in the source, so I guess it is ok anyway.

It is not a good way to start, though. Start small, get results, repeat. Build confidence along with skills each step of the way.
