Development Build 85.8193.30

Hello, dear friends!

Today, we have a development build for you. We appreciate your assistance in testing it, and reporting any issues you find.

The module compatibility has once again been bumped - to version 1.85 - due to the new script commands that allow tile/area actions in the radial menu, and a bit more GUI modification.

Fixes

• Renderer: Disabled soft particles on world-aligned emitters; fixes faded/missing effects such as spell mantle.
• Renderer: TSB are now generated correctly for animated/danglies.
• Renderer: Removed creature preloading code; it was doing nothing useful on desktop platforms.
• Renderer: Drawbucket implementation for caching transform lists; also fixes additive blending render issues (such as water making visual effects wavy; water showing geometry from own model).
• Renderer: Fixed highlight gobs ("tab glow") not correctly scaling along visual transforms.
• Renderer: Fixed static placeables incorrectly disabling/breaking animations of non-static placeables with the same model.
• Game: Fixed a memleak in pathfinding.
• Game: Fixed placeables not bumping creatures out of the way when being spawned into an area. #349
• Game/VM: Fixed Get*DurationRemaining returning the wrong value due to time overflow.
• Game: Fixed a rare crash when exiting the game while a NWSync download is in progress.
• Startgame UI: Fixed URL escaping for URLs with long paths.
• Startgame UI: Removed superfluous text warnings about "Clicking link opens browser".
• Startgame UI: Improvements to the promotion panels for custom repositories.
• Startgame UI: Images loaded in the new content browser are now correctly served from cache if no internet connection is available.
• UI: Put most hardcoded strings in StartGame, NWSync and Config panels into the tlk (not translated yet).
• Config: On Windows, codepage is now auto-detected from the system locale.

Tile/Radial actions, surfacemat.2da

• You can now assign custom radial actions on tiles (There is a new module event you can access via SetEventScript).
• surfacemat now support 64 materials, up from 32.
• surfacemat.2da is re/loaded as part of custom content.

// Gets the ID (1..8) of the last tile action performed in OnPlayerTileAction
int GetLastTileActionId();// Gets the target position in the module OnPlayerTileAction event.
vector GetLastTileActionPosition();// Gets the player object that triggered the OnPlayerTileAction event.
object GetLastPlayerToDoTileAction();

New Script Commands

You can now pop up or restrict GUI panels.

We added a event that triggers clientside interaction with some panels (There is a new module event you can access via SetEventScript).

void SetGuiPanelDisabled(object oPlayer, int nGuiPanel, int bDisabled);
