3.1 beta10 has been released!

Post by cybersphinx »

A new beta, loading skirmish games works again, for the few other changes see the changelog below.

Note: If you can't start the game for whatever reason, please make a trac ticket and attach the file WZdebuginfo.txt located in your config directory so we can look at it.

Known Issues: Bug Reports:
This release probably contains bugs, please report them so they can be fixed. If you have trouble getting the game to work at all, consider a forum thread, you will probably get help faster that way.

See BugReporting for details, in short:
  • Search the existing tickets for your problem, if the problem has already been fixed in git, the ticket will be closed.
  • If there is an open one already, feel free to add more info to it.
  • If there is no report yet, make a new ticket (one per issue).
  • Be as detailed as possible in both summary and description, and either log in with your forum account or leave an email address so we can contact you if we need more information.
  • The more information we have, the easier it is to fix problems (or the other way around, the harder it is for us to reproduce a problem, the less likely it is to get fixed), so include savegames/instructions to reproduce the bug, crashdumps, backtraces, screenshots for graphical problems... whatever is relevant.
  • When you attach files to a ticket, please add each text/image file separately and uncompressed, so we can view them easily in trac (savegames can and should be zipped, they consist of name.gam, possibly name.es, and the files in the name/ folder).
About the 3.1 series:
The 3.1 series is the first based on the new netcode, with new terrain renderer and many other changes. The main target are systems capable of OpenGL 2.0 (with shaders), but at least the important things like team colours should work with OpenGL 1.4+ (some things might look strange though).

Configuration uses a new directory, if you want to use old mods/maps/savegames, you need to copy them (see FileLocations). Note that savegames from 2.3 and 3.0 are incompatible, only those from newer master snapshots might still work. For mods it depends on what they do, don't expect old mods to work either.

2.3 is now officially unsupported.

Changes since the 2.3 series:
(Items marked with a * were already in the cancelled 3.0 series)
  • New terrain renderer*
  • Support for 3*/5*/6*/7*/9/10 player maps
  • Targetting by line of sight, preventing shooting through terrain or too early*
  • Gates in multiplayer games
  • New deterministic netcode that makes sure the same things actually happen for all players, should be much more cheating-resistant
  • New power system, power is deducted in full at the start, and when power is low, in the order things were queued
  • Unit targeting is more intelligent, they won't all shoot one target when one shot is sufficient
  • Remove fog of war/mist options in favour of a combined explored/seen mode
  • Stored templates. Automatically adds a unit design when all needed research is available
  • Command line parameters now need a '=' (which was optional before), e.g. --resolution=1400x1050
  • Apple systems: Drop support for PPC and Mac OS X 10.4, add support for 64 bit Intel on Mac OS X 10.6+
Changelog for 3.1 beta10:
GeneralMultiplayerGraphics
  • Change: Updated texture for the urban building features (4a9ac7fc3e)
  • Fix: Team colour mask on Plasmite Flamer, Sunburst AA and AA Flak Cannon (#3433, e36cdf11e8)

NOTE:
For people using intel integrated chipsets with or without support for a addition card (either AMD or Nvidia)
If you get a crash in ig4icd32.dll, that is the intel video driver that is crashing.
Please go to intel's site and update your video drivers!

Much anticipated, played skirmish... it crashed. Played Campaign.... it crashed. :stressed:
Checked the logs and they are blank!! so can't raise a ticket :( Checked my graphics drivers... all up to date. Is it something I'm not doing or setting right? I use exactly the same settings as I do for the 2.3.9 version.
I just want to play the new version please haha. :lol2:
Keep up the good work guys, I've developed loads of new maps, just waiting for this new release to be stable so you can all play them!!

can't replicate this, most maps start with trucks only.
which map(s) are you playing?

if it is as you say, create a new ticket: http://developer.wz2100.net/newticket

I noticed that as well, probably some broken model files. If someone can post the filenames for those, I'll have a look.

I have 1.10 installed but I don't remember units getting xp off of anything non-ai related (random buildings, cars, etc). If they did it was probably a bug in the original game (perhaps) or a change in the current code. I don't see why they should be worth anything anyway (or perhaps a tenth of a point).

When units bunch up the AI goes a little squirrely and things get interesting during repairs or general group movements (two large groups heading in opposite directions). It was the same way in 1.10

Walls are AI-related. But i still don't like it when killing them brings experience. (In 2.3 it did)
Repair turrets are stupid, yeah. It was better in 2.3, units still need to get more polite, see also #3346
and there is a problem with damage in game with computer , he shoot to hard
?? no idea what you're talking about, but what is your difficulty set to?
