3079 v2.6b on its way! Thread - 3079

3079 is being updated to v2.6b! I have uploaded it to Desura, so hopefully it will be authorized soon!

Updates include more fortress blocks, smoother animations and fixes to the demo (sorry all, I didn't notice how terribly short it was for some people due to a bug! Hopefully this has been addressed). Lots of other smaller improves too, of course

Here are the complete list of changes:

* More fortress building blocks implemented: storage, traps and "home" blocks
* Fixed animations to be much smoother and natural
* Fixed Demo length bugs that caused the demo to end much sooner than it should in some situations
* Fixed a bug that allowed quests to succeed when killing non-quest targets
* "Getting stuck in other characters" bug should be fixed
* Distant sounds should be more quiet* Lighting improvements: more accurate, faster & less resource intensive
* Added a limit to using recharging stations* Improved placement accuracy in building / construction
* Changing construction modes no longer spams message area
* Updated jMonkeyEngine which should improve reliability & performance

Next on the list to tackle? Probably dedicated servers, turret building, music & more sound effects!

Planning on buying it today.

Great, thanks for your support :-)

Does that "getting stuck in other players" bug also fix the sounds? No matter where i go all i hear is the constant spam of walking over and over from npcs stuck in something. It sounds like extremely fast rain and is quite annoying.

Does the Desura client auto-update the game?

if not how do we update? o.0

Blackop2, it should, I hope. However, if the characters are getting stuck in terrain, that'd be another bug I need to fix (that could cause the annoying sound).

freddy705, the client should notify you when the update is available and tell you how it updates.

ohh engine updates!
