    AstroMenace version 1.2 build 70914 has been released.

    Cahges:

  • Availability of all resolutions supported by the user's graphics card, including non-standard ones.
  • All settings are now stored in an XML file.
  • Added an ability to select a joystick (by editing the settings file) if several joysticks are connected.
  • Added an ability to change the keyboard layout (by editing the settings file) regardless of the selected in-game language.
  • New version of VFS (virtual file system). The data file has been reduced, which resulted in a slight decrease of the game loading time.
  • The missile lock notification has been changed. The voice is now played only once. A text notification has been added.
  • Settings menu changed. Added an ability to specify the aspect ratio.
  • Minor changes of the sound output in the game menu.
  • 2D graphics rendering mechanism has been improved. Optimization of texture rendering has been added.
  • Sound processing and output have been moved to a separate thread during the loading process.
  • Changes in ship controls for the standard aspect ratio.
  • All game missions have been modified for widescreen resolutions.
  • Added an ability to enable/disable VBO usage by editing settings files.
  • Shader processing for rendering 3D objects has been improved. Shader manager added.
  • Rendering of static stars has been optimized. When GLSL shaders are enabled, all calculations are performed by the GPU.
  • Rendering of 3D objects has been optimized for graphic cards supporting OpenGL 1.5 and above.
  • Explosion physics calculations have been improved.
  • All 3D models have been modified, all mathematical transformations in the model loading code have been removed.
  • VBO creation has been moved to the 3D model loading process (before it was generated after the first call during the game process).
  • The explosion code for space and land objects has been improved.
  • The texture priority manager is off by default. You can enable it by editing the ForceTexturesPriorManager option in the settings file.
  • Optimized the rendering mechanism for models using multi-texturing when GLSL shaders are enabled. Vertex data is 32 bytes now.
  • When GLSL shaders are enabled, all calculations of explosion physics are performed by the GPU, VBO is used if possible.
  • Improvements in resource manager during mission restarting.
  • Added an ability not to unload/load data during each game-menu and menu-game switching for graphic cards with 128+ MB of video memory. The mode is enabled by editing the EqualOrMore128MBVideoRAM option in the settings file.
  • Added hardware Mip Map texture levels generation capabilities for video cards supporting SGIS_generate_mipmap OpenGL extension.
  • Added an ability to specify the Mip Map texture levels generation method (software of hardware). This can be set in the HardwareMipMapGeneration option of the settings file.
  • RAM management has been improved. RAM usage has been decreased.
  • Added the dependency of the object rendering quality, distance to the camera and the number of light sources affecting the object. Simplified rendering for distant objects has been implemented.
  • To increase the performance rate when the GLSL is enabled, per-vertex lighting instead of per-pixel lighting is used for objects that are parts of the base and planets.
  • The detection supported by a video card shader model has been implemented.
  • 3D models drawing has been optimized for video cards that do not support OpenGL version 1.5 or higher.
  • Now it is possible to disable the movement of the game camera in case of the standard aspect ratio of the screen in the settings file (the CameraModeWithStandardAspectRation option).
  • The bug in displaying the list of missions has been fixed.
  • The bug in calculating the damage from a shock wave produced by torpedoes and bombs has been fixed.
  • Instead of the Shipyard menu, the Weaponry menu is displayed between the mission selection menu and the game start by default.
  • When you pause the game and open the menu during the game (the windowed mode), the system cursor is unlocked.
  • Windows version: libSDL has been upgraded to version 1.2.12
