Engine Update 1354‍

105.1.1-1354

Again a fancy new engine build. This time with lots of under the hood improvements.

‍

Patch Notes

For Players

Rendering performance improvements
Simulation performance improvements - better support for CPUs with performance and efficiency cores (such as Intel Alderlake and later CPUs)
Fixed crash caused when kicking a player from the game
Fixed rendering causing unneeded low fps on some systems, increasing back FPS back to max.
Improved dual screen support
Drawing on the minimap draws on the map itself

For Developers

add configurability of movefast and moveslow speed via added config values (CameraMoveFastMult, CameraMoveSlowMult) and scaling factors for specific cameras (CamSpringFastScaleMouseMove, CamSpringFastScaleMousewheelMove, CamOverheadFastScale)
remove the obsolete /dynamicsky option
add Spring.GetTeamAllyTeamID(teamID) -> allyTeamID
add Spring.GetProjectileAllyTeamID(projectileID) -> allyTeamID
accept keyreload and keyload commands in uikeys
add /keydefaults command
accept filename arguments for keyload, keyreload and keysave
allow loading skybox from equirectangular 2D texture
deprecate AdvSky springsetting
resurrection no longer sets health to 5%
{Get,Set}Atmosphere and mapinfo atmosphere section: add new key, scatterInfo, which is a vector of 3 values: Rayleigh, Mie coefficient, Mie scattering direction respectively, that allows a more realistic atmosphere. Defaults to 0.002, 0.0009, 0.92
add Spring.SetWindow{Min,Max}imized (also in LuaIntro)
add Spring.LoadModelTextures(string modelName) -> bool ok to preload model textures. Returns false if model not found or 3do.
add damage.debris modrule for debris damage, default 50.
add reclaim.unitDrainHealth modrule, whether reclaim drains health. Mostly for the reverse wireframe method
add 5th and 6th params to Spring.MarkerErasePosition, onlyLocal and playerID. Makes the erase happen locally, optionally as if done by given player, same as the existing interface for MarkerAddPoint and MarkerAddLine. NOTE: 4th arg is currently unused (reserved for radius)!
respect gl.Color() in gl.Text()
Only drawlabel is allowed, which drawinmap inherits the label behavior as well. Pure drawing is disabled by default, enabled with DrawInMiniMap
