Spring changelog
(since 85.0 a "!" prefix indicates backward compatibility broke)
(numbers in brackets normally mean the mantis ticket ID)
-- 105.0 --------------------------------------------------------
Sim:
- allow resurrecting indestructable features
- consider partially reclaimed wrecks nonfresh for area-resurrection commands
! remove undocumented BeamLaser range modifier (provided 30% extra when fired by mobile units)
! remove legacy (COB, though also affecting Lua) hack allowing units with onlyForward weapons to fire regardless of AimWeapon status
! remove CMD_SET_WANTED_MAX_SPEED
- allow CEG trails for crashing aircraft (engine will randomly select from any generators listed in sfxTypes.crashExplosionGenerators)
- DGun weapontype: allow leading (leadLimit for DGun defaults to 0 instead of -1 for back-compatibility)
- Rifle weapontype: obey collision flags
- change default ownerExpAccWeight to 0 for all weapon-types
- remove salvoError multiplier hack for positional and out-of-los targets
Lua:
- add math.tau
- add sensors.decloakRequiresLineOfSight modrule. If true, sight radius works as a cap for decloak radius
(for example a unit with decloak radius 200 will not be decloaked with a 100 LoS unit in the 100-200 range,
and units with 0 LoS can't decloak others at all regardless of decloak range). Defaults to false.
- add Platform.osVersion; complements Platform.osName
- add Platform.hwConfig
- Script.IsEngineMinVersion now available in all Lua parsing contexts,
most importantly in `defs.lua`
! change {Allow,Unit}Command callin parameters
AllowCommand(..., cmdTag, fromSynced) --> AllowCommand(..., cmdTag, playerID, fromSynced, fromLua)
UnitCommand(..., cmdTag ) --> UnitCommand(..., cmdTag, playerID, fromSynced, fromLua)
! remove Game.mapHumanName
! remove UnitDefs[i].moveDef.{family,type}
- LuaUI now has access to Spring.SetUnitNo{Draw,Select,Minimap} and SetFeatureNoDraw
- let Spring.SelectUnitArray select enemy units with godmode enabled
- let Unit*Collision callins skip engine collision handling if true is returned (from any synced gadget)
- call gadgetHandler:Explosion for unsynced gadgets (but discard the return value)
- allow specifying source by position but target by ID for Spring.GetUnitWeaponHaveFreeLineOfFire
- allow setting terrain-type hardness and name via Spring.SetTerrainTypeData
! return the terrain-type index from Spring.GetGroundInfo and Spring.GetTerrainTypeData
these functions now push [number index, string name, ...] rather than [string name, ...]
onto the stack
! change DefaultCommand call order
previously widgets were called first, and if they returned anything, gadgets weren't called at all
now gadgets are called first, then widgets are always called and can override
- add a 3rd param to DefaultCommand callin: the current default command
works with the above: gadgets receive the default engine cmd,
widgets then receive what gadgets returned (possibly engine default)
- add Spring.ClosestBuildPos(teamID, unitdefID, worldx,worldy,worldz, searchRadius, minDistance, buildFacing) -> buildx,buildy,buildz to LuaSyncedRead
- add Spring.GetGlobalLos(allyTeamID) -> bool to LuaSyncedRead
- add Spring.IsNoCostEnabled() -> bool to LuaSyncedRead
- add Spring.SetWind(number minStrength, number maxStrength)
- add Spring.SetTidal(number strength)
- add Spring.GetTidal
- add Spring.GetGameState() -> bool, bool, bool, bool to LuaUnsyncedRead
1) finished loading
2) loaded from a save
3) locally paused (i.e. after entering /pause)
4) lagging wrt expected simframe time
- add Spring.SetUnitUseWeapons(unitID, bool force, bool block), only one of the bools should be true
setting force to true means the unit can fire even when being dead, stunned, a nanoframe, or in build stance
setting block to true means the unit can't fire at all (unless "force" which takes priority)
- add Spring.Set{Unit,Feature}PieceVisible(unit/featureID, pieceID, bool visible)
- add Spring.{Unit,Feature}Rendering.SetProjectileLuaDraw
- add Spring.{Unit,Feature}Rendering.Set{Deferred,Forward}MaterialUniform
- add Spring.{Unit,Feature}Rendering.Clear{Deferred,Forward}MaterialUniform
- add Spring.AddObjectDecal
! rename Spring.RemoveBuildingDecal to Spring.RemoveObjectDecal
- add Spring.GetLuaMemUsage to LuaUnsyncedRead and LuaMenu
returns the number of (kilo-)bytes used and (kilo-)allocations performed
by the calling Lua state individually, as well as by all states globally
- add Spring.GetVidMemUsage to LuaUnsyncedRead
- add Spring.Ping callout and corresponding Pong callin
- add Spring.GetMapStartPositions callout
- add gl.GetViewRange callout
- add DrawMaterial callin
- add `VFS.GAME` as a synonym to `VFS.MOD`
- support local-space tracking for dynamic lights added via Spring.Add{Map,Model}Light
the light-definition table should contain a 'localSpace = true' entry to enable this
- Add Spring.SetVideoCapturingTimeOffset() for > 30fps video capturing
- default `defs.lua` now reads a new file, `defs_post.lua`, which
currently filters out movedefs unused by any unitdef (previously
this was done by the engine). You can prevent this filter by adding
the `dont_remove` field to such movedefs. This is useful to make
them available in `Spring.MoveCtrl.SetMoveDef` but beware the perf cost.
- new TextEditing(utf8, start, length) callin, which holds the IME editing composition (https://wiki.libsdl.org/Tutorials/TextInput)
- new SDLSetTextInputRect(x, y, w, h), SDLStartTextInput() and SDLStopTextInput() functions for controlling IME input from Lua
- Add AllowUnitTransport callin. Called when the engine tests whether unit A can transport unit B. Returning true will let
the engine decide, returning false will force the engine to disallow transportation (for this specific call).
- add AllowUnitTransport{Load,Unload} callins for controlling whether unit A can start {un}loading unit B
- add AllowUnit{Cloak,Decloak} callins for controlling whether a unit can become {de}cloaked
- new unit rules param access level, 'typed': between 'inlos' and 'inradar', applicable when the unit has once been in LoS
and continuously in radar since (same rule as `GetUnitLosState(x).typed` and typed engine icons)
- the GiveOrder* family of callouts can now accept a number for command params,
equivalent to providing an array with one member (use it to save on arrays)
- MarkerAdd{Point,Line} now have an extra optional argument (after localOnly: 6th for point, 8th for line):
the playerID of the player who should appear as the author of the drawing (if missing, defaults to the local player).
Only has an effect when localOnly is true.
- add `paralyze.paralyzeDeclineRate` to modinfo, controls how many seconds it takes for EMP to decline by 100%%
- expose `Game.paralyzeDeclineRate` and `Game.paralyzeOnMaxHealth`
- Added tesselation shaders support to gl.CreateShader. New stages have "tcs" and "tes" names and defined similarly to existing
"fragment", "vertex", "compute" stages. Also added gl.SetTesselationShaderParameter to define tesselation parameters from OpenGL
host.
- Added support for Subroutine Uniform (gl.UniformSubroutine, gl.GetSubroutineIndex)
- Added a few OpenGL constants:
1) shader types GL.VERTEX_SHADER, GL.TESS_CONTROL_SHADER, GL.TESS_EVALUATION_SHADER, GL.GEOMETRY_SHADER_EXT, GL.FRAGMENT_SHADER.
They are mostly useful as one of the arguments to the new Lua gl.UniformSubroutine and gl.GetSubroutineIndex callouts.
2) geometry shader parameter types GL.GEOMETRY_INPUT_TYPE_EXT, GL.GEOMETRY_OUTPUT_TYPE_EXT, GL.GEOMETRY_VERTICES_OUT_EXT.
These are used in SetGeometryShaderParameter callout (formerly known as SetShaderParameter)
3) tesselation shader parameter types GL.PATCH_VERTICES, GL.PATCH_DEFAULT_OUTER_LEVEL, GL.PATCH_DEFAULT_INNER_LEVEL.
The first is mandatory for tesselation to work, the other two are optional and can be used on the OpenGL host side instead of
writing the tesselation control shader.
4) New vertex primitive type GL.PATCHES
! Renamed SetShaderParameter to SetGeometryShaderParameter to avoid confusion of what kind shader parameters belongs to.
- Added VFS.GetLoadedArchives() -> { string archiveName1, string archiveName2 ... }
- Added VFS.GetArchivePath(string archiveName1) -> string archivePathOnDisk
- Added VFS.GetFileAbsolutePath(string vfsFilePath) -> string filePathOnDisk
- Added VFS.GetArchiveContainingFile(string vfsFilePath) -> string archiveName
! VFS.MapArchive, VFS.UnmapArchive and VFS.UseArchive now take archiveName instead of fileName as the first parameter.
- add a 6th return value (feature->reclaimTime) to GetFeatureResources.
- Add `Spring.UnitFinishCommand(unitID)`, finishes current command. Unlike CMD.REMOVE it works with Repeat/UnitCmdDone
and unlike CommandFallback it works on builtin engine commands.
- Allow spawning of any CEG from any LUS:
EmitSfx(p, "cegTag") param will emit the CEG with tag="cegTag"
EmitSfx(p, SFX.GLOBAL | cegID) will emit the CEG with id=cegID
Added Spring.GetCEGID("cegTag") to get CEG id from tag
- Added Spring.GetUnitCurrentCommand(unitID [, cmdIndex]) -> [cmdID, cmdOpts (coded), cmdTag[, cmdParam1[, cmdParam2 ... ]]]
Returns the index-th command in the unit's queue (or nil). Note: cmdOpts are represented by a single number
(usually a table otherwise), and params are returned on the stack as well. This function allocates no tables.
! make Spring.Get{Unit,Factory}Commands always expect a second argument
! Spring.GetTeamInfo: switched the last two return values around (incomeMultiplier is now 7th, customKeys is now 8th)
- Added a second boolean parameter to Spring.Get{Player,Team}Info, if it is false the function will not return
the (now) last return value, the customKeys table (allocation optimisation)
! Spring.GetUnit{Armored,IsActive} now works on enemies in LoS
! Spring.GetUnitMass no longer works on enemies outside of LoS
! remove Spring.{Set,Get}UnitTravel
! remove Spring.SetUnitToFeature (use the AllowFeatureCreation callin to block features from being spawned)
- Added a boolean parameter to Spring.GetCameraState, if set to false it will return the current camera name
and then the following camera-specific values on the stack:
fps, rot -> oldHeight
ta -> height, angle, flipped
spring -> rx, ry, rz, dist
free -> rx, ry, rz, vx, vy, vz, avx, avy, avz
ov -> (nil)
- Spring.SetUnitWeaponState with "autoTargetRangeBoost" now also lets Cannon
and StarburstLauncher weapons look ahead and pre-aim at targets just
outside of nominal range.
AI:
- reveal unit's captureProgress, buildProgress and paralyzeDamage params through
skirmishAiCallback_Unit_get{CaptureProgress,BuildProgress,ParalyzeDamage} functions

- model metadata for assimp/obj can now define pieces hierarchy
by either nested tables or 'parent' key.
- IME editing support for those with the proper SDL2 version/IME tool combination
! Made lockluaui.txt obsolete: no longer necessary for it to exists in order to enable VFS for LuaUI
- use SHA2 rather than CRC32 content hashes

-- 104.0 --------------------------------------------------------
Major:
- Add LuaMenu - an unsynced stripped down Lua environment that starts before the game is loaded and persists through reload
this environment receives the Draw{Genesis,Screen,ScreenPost} callins as well as
a special AllowDraw FPS limiter which enables these if true is returned from it
(otherwise they are called once every 30 seconds)
! make GL3.0 the minimum required OpenGL version; Intel G45's and other relics are now banned
(any driver that claims support for this *and* shaders is allowed to run Spring unimpeded)
- improve memory management so Spring.Reload can be safely called multiple times in a row
- kill various desyncs that slipped into 103.0
Misc:
- Assorted bugfixes and optimisations

- generally more detailed error-logging
- continued internal cleanup and C++11 adoption to reduce unnecessary data copying and allocing
- don't load-then-immediately-free the LuaGaia handler if neither (synced or unsynced) entrypoint exists

- recycle audio-stream buffer memory
- recycle demo-streams across reloads
- write demos before destroying game on shutdown in case the latter CTD's
- do not spawn VFS initialization threads if WorkerThreadCount=0
- rebase ThreadPool on a lock-free taskqueue; make IO-bound work unable to block execution of other tasks
- reduce ThreadPool worker-count right after VFS initialization
- asyncify writing screenshots via ThreadPool
- asyncify demo/savegame compression
- disable hang-detection when showing a message box
- defer loading *Def sounds until simulation asks for them
- use pcall in LuaUtils::Echo
- catch all exceptions in Game::Load and make it non-interruptable
- turn LoadDefs content_error exceptions into clean exits
- set modType to an integer (not string) value in base-content modinfo.lua's
- do not auto-add springcontent dependency to non-game "mod" archives

- allow maps to not supply a type-map; one fewer exception to worry about
- improve RNG statistical quality; sampled ints can now also exceed 0x7fff
- make the *nix CrashHandler compile on ARM; do not use cpuid on non-x86 builds

- store path-estimator cache files as map.pe-hash.zip; forces a refresh
- delete cached path-estimator data which can not be opened or read successfully
- integrate custom selection volumes; also support subtable-based {col,sel}volume definitions
- refactor the object death-dependency system
- trim unused AssParser root-piece transform overrides;
'rotAxisSigns' and 'rotAxisMap' from 95.0 are also gone
- rip out DynamicSun
much more convincing day / night cycles can be completely and more cleanly
(re-)implemented in Lua with Spring.SetSunLighting, Spring.SetSunDirection,
and Spring.SetAtmosphere
Sim:
! Sonar will now detect ships/hovers - this is since los can't raycast through water.
note that wobble still exists without LoS.
- add 'collideFireBase' weapondef flag
- allow manually sharing nano-frames (patch by Sprunk)
- share unfinished buildees if factory changes team (patch by Sprunk)

(if any) so that ship->tank and similar substitutions via
MoveCtrl.SetMoveDef behave as expected
- disable randomized hovering during CMD_LOAD_UNITS for air-transports
- make Spring.CreateUnit smarter (patch by Sprunk)
if a builderID parameter is passed to Spring.CreateUnit, the new unit

- incorporate native "raw move" (straight-line path) support
inert by default; enable by adding allowRawMovement = true
to a MoveDef table
Lua:
! Undeprecate {unit,feature}def.modelname and add .modeltype and .modelpath to
allow reading these without loading the model. Removed def.model.{name,type,path}
so they aren't used accidentally.
! The callins GameStart and GamePreload won't be called when a saved game is loaded
- Add VFS.AbortDownload(id) - returns whether the download was found&removed from the queue
- Add Spring.Get{Game,Menu}Name to LuaUnsyncedRead, so LuaMenu and unsynced Lua handles know about each other
- Add new callins (LuaMenu only):
ActivateMenu() that is called whenever LuaMenu is on with no game loaded.
ActivateGame() that is called whenever LuaMenu is on with a game loaded.
AllowDraw() if it returns false, the next draw call is skipped (only active when a game isn't running)
- Add Spring.{Set,Get}VideoCapturingMode() - this doesn't actually record the game in any way,
it just regulates the framerate and interpolations.
- add Engine and Platform global tables currently containing the following keys:
Engine.version: string
Engine.versionFull: string
Engine.versionPatchSet: string
Engine.buildFlags: string
Engine.wordSize: number
Platform.gpu: string, full GPU device name
Platform.gpuVendor: string, one of "Nvidia", "Intel", "ATI", "Mesa", "Unknown"

Platform.glSupportClipSpaceControl: boolean
Platform.glSupportFragDepthLayout: boolean
Platform.osName: string, full name of the OS
Platform.osFamily: string, one of "Windows", "Linux", "MacOSX", "FreeBSD", "Unknown"
! Game.{version,versionFull,versionPatchSet,buildFlags} now reside in the Engine table
Engine.wordSize indicates the build type and is either 32 or 64 (or 0 in synced code)
- Spring.SetWaterParams() can now be used without /cheat for modifying unsynced values.
- Implemented gl.GetWaterRendering() to expose access to water rendering variables.
! Removed water rendering parameters from LuaConstGame, as they're no longer const.
- Added Spring.SetMapRenderingParams() for modifying splatTexMults, splatTexScales, voidWater and voidGround.
- Implemented gl.GetMapRendering() to expose access to the map rendering variables.
! Removed voidWater and voidGround constant parameters from LuaConstGame, as they're no longer const.

equal to the *UnitScript versions of EmitSFX, but
takes position and direction arguments (in either
unit- or piece-space) instead of a piece index
- add DrawScreenPost callin (patch by ivand/lhog)
Similar to DrawScreenEffects, this can be used to alter the contents of a
frame after it has been completely rendered (i.e. World, MiniMap, Menu, UI).
- add DrawWorldPreParticles callin
- add start- and hit-position (x,y,z) arguments to ShieldPreDamaged callin
- math.random is now available during execution of defs.lua
(math.randomseed also exists, but will always be a no-op)
- allow gl.BlitFBO blitting from/to the default FB with userdata FBO's
- bump gl.UniformArray length restriction from 32 to 1024
- add Spring.SetFeatureResources(number metal, number energy [, number reclaimTime [, number reclaimLeft]])
- add Spring.SetUnitPieceMatrix(number unitID, number pieceNum, table matrix)
sets the local (i.e. parent-relative) matrix of the given piece if any of the
first three elements are non-zero, and also blocks all script animations from
modifying it until {0, 0, 0} is passed
(matrix should be an array of 16 floats, but is not otherwise sanity-checked)
- add LUS ChangeHeading callin
- add LUS {Start,Stop}Skidding callins; called when a (ground) unit reacts to an impulse
make the start-skidding threshold ('sqSkidSpeedMult') configurable via MoveCtrl.SetGroundMoveTypeData

- make Spring.ClearUnitGoal cancel raw movement by default
! reorder AllowStartPosition callin parameters and add teamID
old: clampedX, clampedY, clampedZ, playerID, readyState, rawX, rawY, rawZ
new: playerID, teamID, readyState, clampedX, clampedY, clampedZ, rawX, rawY, rawZ
- expose weapon salvo vars to {Get,Set}UnitWeaponState (patch by Sprunk)
- extend Spring.SetFeatureResurrect
old API: arg #2 was parsed as unitdef-name if string
new API: arg #2 is parsed as unitdef-name if string OR unitdef-id if number; arg #4 is parsed as resurrect-progress
- make Spring.SetFeatureResurrect ignore nil for its second arg and allow unsetting the resurrect-target if id=-1
! extend Spring.GetUnitWeaponHaveFreeLineOfFire to take aiming-from coors
old API: Spring.GetUnitWeaponHaveFreeLineOfFire(unitID, weaponNum, targetID | [ tgtPosX [, tgtPosY [, tgtPosZ ]]]])
new API: Spring.GetUnitWeaponHaveFreeLineOfFire(unitID, weaponNum, targetID | [srcPosX [, srcPosY [, srcPosZ [, tgtPosX [, tgtPosY [, tgtPosZ]]]]]])
(if the srcPos* arguments are all nil, the default aiming location is used as before)
- block getting NoAccessTeam's LoS-state (patch by Sprunk)
- block Spring.GetRadarErrorParams for enemy allyteams (patch by Sprunk)
- implement Path.GetPathNodeCosts
- Spring.GetMouseState now returns a sixth value indicating if the cursor is offscreen

- outsource vsync regulation to SDL2
UI:
- show a splash-screen while initializing VFS; randomly chosen from any
.png or .jpg images found under SplashScreenDir defined in springsettings.cfg
(if SplashScreenDir is a relative path, Spring's CWD will be prepended)
- Add FPSClampPos config for whether the engine should verify the camera doesn't hit ground/go too far
this and other FPS camera configs can be changed midgame and will affect the next frame drawn.
- Add OverheadMaxHeightFactor config - a float multiplier for maximum overhead camera height.
- skip the IsAbove test/callin for input-receivers when mouse is offscreen
- show warning if VMware Mesa drivers are installed
- avoid "Invalid thread number 0" errors if window creation fails
- rename the 'minimised' CLI flag to 'hidden'
- prevent window from being considered unresponsive during startup
- make shift+esc drop to LuaMenu from PreGame
! fix window-state restoration
the WindowState config-setting is gone, a maximized
non-fullscreen window now gets restored by checking
if the resolution previously written is maximal (for
minimized windows the state is not saved, as before)
- fix VRAM size detection
- coax more information out of systems that fail OpenGL context-creation
- add fallbacks for common context-creation failures; catch inadequate
desktop video-modes; turn exceptions during {window,context}-creation
into friendlier popups

- downgrade from throwing exception to warning for missing scar-textures
- extend and organize the information shown in /debug
! rename '/roam' to '/mapmeshdrawer' which cycles through the renderers

- fix #4827 (idle gunships jiggling away from their position)
- fix #4232 (gunships snapping to horizontal attitude when ordered to stop after attacking)
-- 103.0 --------------------------------------------------------
General:
- Fix & Improve performace
- Add 'allowTake' modoption (default: true) to enable/disable /take (by lamer)

If true, spring won't listen for incoming connections when running
this game unless GAME\OnlyLocal is specified in the start script.
Sim:
- Add new UnitDef tag "buildingMask" and LuaSyncedCtrl function "SetSquareBuildingMask". (by ivand)
Both used in conjunction to allow/disallow construction of certain unit types (via setting buildingMask)
on certain tiles (via SetSquareBuildingMask). By default all tiles and buildings have mask of 1
Rendering:
- Ghosted buildings are now consistent when changing specTeam/specFullView

! fix LuaMaterial uniform management for materials with standard and deferred shaders
material tables are now expected to contain subtables defining the uniforms; instead of
"material = {shader = ..., cameraposloc = 123, texunits = ..., ...}"
say
"material = {shader = ..., uniforms = {cameraposloc = 123, ...}, texunits = ..., ...}"
for a material that has both types of shader, supply "standardshader",
"deferredshader", "standarduniforms", and "deferreduniforms" as keys
new keys for these uniform subtables can be
"viewmatrixloc" // synonym for "cameraloc"
"projmatrixloc" // camera projection
"viprmatrixloc" // camera view-projection
"viewmatrixinvloc" // synonym for "camerainvloc"
"projmatrixinvloc" // camera inverse projection
"viprmatrixinvloc" // camera inverse view-projection
"shadowmatrixloc" // synonym for "shadowloc"
"cameradirloc" // camera forward direction
"sundirloc" // synonym for "sunposloc"
"rndvecloc" // random 3-vector with length in [0, 1)
"simframeloc" // current simulation frame
"visframeloc" // current renderer frame

-- 101.0 --------------------------------------------------------
Major:
- LoS (sim) overhaul
- SSMF Splat Detail Normal Textures (by Beherith)
- many new Lua rendering related features (custom feature shaders, map shaders, ...)
- many Lua additions
- Lua pr-downloader API
- removal of airbases & fuel
- transport overhaul
- 64bit windows builds
General:
! change default screenshot file type to jpg. to create png use /screenshot png
! pr-downloader dependency is now mandatory (statically linked with spring)
! demo files are now compressed with gzip (and the suffix is .sdfz)
- improve data locality even further with respect to 100.0
- fix memory leaks and misc. crashes (some related to LoadingMT)
- ignore /give commands issued via autohost interface (needs an actual player)
LoS:
! ModInfo: remove losMul & airLosMul -> always handle los ranges in elmos in the _whole_ engine
WARNING: this also rescales the returned values in Lua UnitDefs!
! ModInfo: make `radarMipLevel` configurable
! change default airMipLevel 2->1 & radarMipLevel 3->2
! ModInfo: add new sensors.alwaysVisibleOverridesCloaked (default _off_! before was always on)
! modrules.lua: add new `separateJammers` tag (breaks backward compatibility!)
default true (old behaviour is false)
when enabled each allyTeam only jams their own units
! get rid of los radius limit (you can now create units that cover the whole map and more)
- speed ups in general
- reduced lags introduced by LoS
- multithread LoS updating
- reduced memory usage
! fix various bugs related to unit/feature movement not registered
! update LoS on terrain changes
! correctly handle the height of the emitter (before radarEmitHeight was always from ground height & similar units on a spot shared their emitHeight)
! make LoS much smoother (now really gets called per-gameframe when the emitter moves)
- better circle algo
- add Spring.SetGlobalLos(int allyTeamID, bool globallos)
Sim:
! start simulation at frame 0, not at 1
- features now have a non-animated LocalModel and can use per-piece collision volumes
- RockUnit and HitByWeapon script callins now take vectors in unit-space
- fix acceleration rates and turn-speed limits for reversing units
- fix units occasionally zipping across the map after being unloaded
- fix unloaded units being non-colliding if transporter script attached them to piece -1
- fix various aircraft landing/midair-vibrating bugs
- fix builders sometimes ignoring their commands if they were issued without shift
- set better default radii for objects (and use same logic in all model parsers)
- make ground-unit reversing logic configurable via Spring.SetGroundMoveTypeData
- fix ground-units forever trying to move along their final waypoint direction in rare cases
- COB: always use the return value of the Killed thread to determine wreck level (none if omitted)
! remap SFX.RECURSIVE piece flag from 1<<8 to 1<<14
! removed hardcoded logic to zombify (stun+immobilize) a unit on death
! airbases and fuel were removed, use custom commands in combination with
Spring.SetUnitLandGoal(unitID, x, y, z [, radius]) and the new transport changes
to implement this functionality in lua.
Transports:
- every unit can now have other units attached to it using:
- Spring.UnitAttach(transporterID, passengerID, pieceNum)
- Spring.UnitDetach(passengerID)
- Spring.UnitDetachFromAir(passengerID)
- units with transportCapacity > 0 and transportMass > 0 will retain backward compatibility
- added Spring.SetUnitLoadingTransport(passengerID, transportID) which disables collisions
between the two units to allow colvol intersection during the approach.
GUI/Sound:
! fix default drawInMap keyshortcut on german keyboards
- fix displayed tooltip elevation when over minimap
- fix Ready button ignoring clicks after setting startpos and rejoining
- fix potential infinite loop during sound initialization
Rendering:
- new Shatter animation (SFX.Explode in Cob/LUS)
- break the piece into parts and not triangles
- much faster (in creation & render time)
- change the trail drawing of some missile projectiles
- add support for SSMF Splat Detail Normal Textures (by Beherith)
- add deferred pass for features; note that these are drawn into
the same buffer as units (overwriting it, unless the new config
variable AllowDeferredModelBufferClear is set to false [default])
- allow custom shaders for being-built units
- allow custom Lua map shaders
- fix metal->los info texture switching visual harshness
- apply anisotropic filtering to all mipmapped SSMF textures
- fix shadow-pass (and general) terrain/model visibility culling
- fix environment reflections (broken in four different ways)
- fix DynamicWater artifacts at large viewing distances
- fix RefractiveWater not showing submerged objects with DualScreenMinimapOnLeft

- do not disable model shaders during world alpha-pass
- do not disable model shaders during water ref{le,ra}ction passes
- always draw water surface during alpha-pass
- kill shadows for fully alpha-faded features
- kill impostors for fully alpha-faded features
- write extraColor to the specTex target on the deferred side of ModelFragProg
- use groundSpecularColor when no specularTex exists (i.e. on basic SMF maps)
- shift ground decals visually so they are always aligned with objects
- render all types of decals with shaders
- draw custom commands that have two parameters
! nuke support for "special" Spring{Radius,Height} pieces in assimp models
GameServer:
- speedup gameserver exiting (reduced some io/net related sleeps)
Pathing:
- fix cases where either no path was returned or an incorrect one
- switch to octile heuristic to reduce number of explored nodes
- increase high-resolution search range
- fix diagonal movement cost estimation
- handle PathCache crc failures
- make QTPFS neighbor updates a bit faster
AI:
- plug several memory leaks in engine interface and wrappers
- bring ghost model drawing in a usable state again
- add sensor map callbacks
- add shield state callbacks
- add ground info callbacks
- make feature callbacks respect cheats
Lua Callins:
! GameID callin now gets the ID string encoded in hex.
! new Lua callin RenderUnitDestroyed is now called just before a unit is
invalid, after it finishes its death animation.
! ShieldPreDamaged will now be called for LightningCannon and BeamLaser.
Two new arguments were added: beamCarrierWeaponNum and beamCarrierUnitID.
These will be populated in place of the first argument (projID).
! The following callins will now have 1-based weapon index arguments:
DrawShield,
ShieldPreDamaged,
AllowWeaponTargetCheck,
AllowWeaponTarget,
AllowWeaponInterceptTarget,
StockpileChanged
! UnitCommand and UnitCmdDone argument order changed to be consistent with
each other and with CommandFallback & AllowCommand: (unitID,
unitDefID, unitTeam, cmdId, cmdParams, cmdOpts, cmdTag)
Note that UnitCommand will now receive cmdOpts as a table and not as a number
- new callin UnitReverseBuilt, called when a living unit becomes a nanoframe again
- add new callins DrawGroundPreForward and DrawGroundPreDeferred
these run at the start of their respective passes when a custom
map shader has been assigned via Spring.SetMapShader (convenient
for setting uniforms)
- add new callin DrawGroundPostDeferred; this runs at the end of its
respective deferred pass and allows proper frame compositing (with
ground flashes/decals/foliage/etc, which are drawn between it and
DrawWorldPreUnit) via gl.CopyToTexture
- add new callins DrawUnitsPostDeferred and DrawFeaturesPostDeferred
these run at the end of their respective deferred passes to inform
Lua code it should make use of the $model_gbuffer_* textures before
another pass overwrites them (and to allow proper blending with e.g.
cloaked objects which are drawn between these events and DrawWorld
via gl.CopyToTexture)
NOTE: the *PostDeferred events are only sent (and only have a real
purpose) if forward drawing is disabled, whereas the DrawGroundPre*
events are only sent if the map has a custom shader!
LuaDefs:
! los related UnitDefTags are now in elmos
! Lua{Feature,Unit}Defs:
make the "model" subtable available (as it is for LuaUnitDefs)
move the {min,max,mid}{x,y,z} values to this table (these can now be accessed
using e.g. *Defs[i].model.midx)
deprecate *Defs[i].modelname, use *Defs[i].model.path instead
Lua (lighting):
! Game.fogColor constant is no longer available, use gl.GetAtmosphere("fogColor")
! Game.groundAmbientColor, Game.groundSpecularColor and Game.groundSunColor
are no longer available, use gl.GetSun() instead with appropriate parameters
- add unsynced callout Spring.SetSunLighting(table params) -> nil
It can be used to modify the following sun lighting parameters:
{ground,unit}{Ambient,Diffuse,Specular}Color and specularExponent
example usage: Spring.SetSunLighting({
groundAmbientColor = {1, 0.1, 1},
groundDiffuseColor = {1, 0.1, 1},
})
- add unsynced callout Spring.SetAtmosphere(table params) -> nil
It can be used to modify the following atmosphere parameters:
fog{Start,End}, {sun,sky,cloud}Color
example usage: Spring.SetAtmosphere({
fogStart = 0,
fogEnd = 0.5,
fogColor = { 0.7, 0.2, 0.2, 1 },
})
- add unsyced callout gl.GetAtmosphere(name) -> number | number r, number g, number b
Works similar to gl.GetSun(), and can be used to extract atmosphere parameters.
See Spring.SetAtmosphere for details.
Lua (projectiles):
- new Spring.DeleteProjectile(projID) for silently removing projectiles (no explosion).
- new Spring.{Get,Set}UnitWeaponDamages similar to *UnitWeaponState but for damage and explosion values.
- new Spring.{Get,Set}ProjectileDamages similar to the above, for projectiles in flight.
! Weapons with tracking will use a radar dot position unless
Spring.SetProjectileIgnoreTrackingError(projID, bool ignore) is called.
Lua (model rendering):
! reading from gl_TextureEnvColor[0] in custom shaders to set team color
will no longer work, declare a uniform vec4 named "teamColor" instead
(the engine will fill this in for you)
! gl.UnitShape and gl.FeatureShape now take three extra boolean arguments
and set their relevant GL state internally (so that calling only these
functions is enough to get correctly rendered models; pass in 'false'
for the [new] THIRD argument for the fixed behavior, omit it or pass in
'true' [default] to render with your own custom state instead)
NOTE:
the [new] FOURTH argument should be 'true' if in DrawScreen and 'false'
(default) if in DrawWorld; any transforms for these two functions *MUST*
include a gl.LoadIdentity call when argument #3 is false (whether they
are used in DrawWorld or in DrawScreen)
the [new] FIFTH argument determines whether the model is drawn opaque
('true' [default]) or with translucency ('false'); only has an effect
when argument #3 is false
- add callouts Spring.Preload{Feature,Unit}DefModel allowing the engine
to load the unit's model (and texture) in a background thread.
wreckages and buildOptions of a unit are automatically preloaded.
- new Spring.SetFeatureFade(featureID, bool) to control whether a feature will fade or not when zoomed out.
- add Spring.FeatureRendering API; allows custom shaders (technically,
materials) for features as its Spring.UnitRendering counterpart does
for units
note: the following two functions exist but are no-ops
Spring.UnitRendering.SetFeatureLuaDraw
Spring.FeatureRendering.SetUnitLuaDraw
- add callouts
gl.{Unit,Feature}Textures(number objID, boolean enable) -> nil
gl.{Unit,Feature}ShapeTextures(number defID, boolean enable) -> nil
these are primarily intended to be used in conjunction with
gl.{Unit,Feature}(objID, ..., raw=true)
gl.{Unit,Feature}Shape(defID, ..., raw=true)
and apply a model's default textures; easier than gl.Texture("$%...")
Lua:
- fix LuaUI crash if a widget caused an error in its GetConfigData callin
- fix GadgetHandler miscounting if RemoveGadget was invoked during a callin
- allow custom commands to be non-queueing (handy for state toggles)
- LuaUI can now reload itself via Spring.SendCommands
- allow /lua{rules,gaia} reloading on frame 0
- allow Lua{Rules,Gaia} chat actions before frame 0
- extend Spring.TraceScreenRay to intersect a user-given plane
- add unitSpecularColor to the set of values returned by gl.GetSun
- fix typo in maphelper/setupopts.lua breaking several default options
! do not start camera transitions from Spring.SetCameraState
! LuaSyncedRead::GetAIInfo now returns "UNKNOWN" for non-local AI's, not "UKNOWN"
! {Set,Get}UnitPieceCollisionVolumeData now receive 1-based piece index argument (was 0-based).
! fix a desync related to printf/number2string conversion
! Lua: fix bug that some TransformMatrix functions were revealing the true position of radar dots
! fix Spring.GetUnitPieceDirection() (returns now same dir as GetEmitDirPos)
! Spring.GetUnitPieceInfo() will now set "[null]" as the parent name of the root piece instead of ""
- add Spring.SetGlobalLos(int allyTeamID, bool globallos)
- add Spring.IsUnitIn[Los, AirLos, ...]
Note this is _not_ equal with Spring.IsPosInLos with the unit's pos!
