Engine Update 966

Coming hot with the new engine update to make your game even more awesome

Patch Notes

For Players

• Ground restore command now works correctly when using the map_waterlevel mod option.
• Aircraft should now be able to fly at the correct height around terrain that has been significantly deformed.
• Further background work on key binds via scancodes for better (future) customization of keybinds
• Various behind the scenes engine improvements
• Grass is no longer drawn where buildings are placed
• Prep-work for new GL4 decal rendering (for much better performing ground scarring)

For Developers

• Lua can now build pairs of texture atlases, e.g. pairs of diffuse and normal maps for multiple decals.
• Hover units are no longer forced to be upright regardless on the terrain slope they are travelling over. To keep this behaviour with hover units, set upright = true in the appropriate Unit Defs.
• The Smooth Height Mesh can now be disabled with a mod rule system.enableSmoothMesh = false
• New function, Spring.AddUnitExperience(unitID, delta_xp). Can be used to subtract XP, but the unit's total XP cannot be reduced below zero.
• /keydump now returns well-ordered output- Scancodes work with engine actions, e.g. bind sc_z buildunit_armlab
• Fix KeyChains being triggered on improper keypresses (most users never used it anyway)
• Fix /keydebug printed char labels (for power users that customize uikeys)
• Fix duplicate bound actions with distinct comments, e.g. bind z something // differences here duplicate action bindings
• "$explosions" and "$groundfx" accepted by gl.GetEngineAtlasTextures
• removed LOD unit rendering (far 2d billboards) including /distdraw command and UnitLodDist springconfig entry
