The update to the beta was minor in a way...
- Previously each planet would dynamically create it's hex information at load time. Since this data was basically static, I created a new 3D node called a PathMap, which I inserted into all the 3D scenes of all planets. This ended up reducing the memory footprint of the servers by 5MB, since now planets of the same type are sharing hex information instead of creating their own copies. The PathMap object is kinda neat, in that it's a generic path finding class, that could be used for ANY kind of 3D scene, including interiors, terrain, etc... from that I derived a class call PathMapPlanet, which creates a spherical node map (the drop points on the planets). I did NOT add PathMap objects to the gas giants or inferno's, so you'll no longer see drop points for those planets.
- Fixed a bug when you drop an infantry directly on the planet, instead of a drop point, it would appear on the other side of the planet. I'm very aware of the disappearing infantry bug, this has to do with the infantry limits I'm sure, and will address those ASAP.
I'm currently removing the AI transports from starports, and changing the code to move resources directly from planet to planet, distance of the planets will obviously be a factor in how much gets moved.
Also, I've come up with a final fix for the sync issues in the MV. I will start implementation of this fix once the trade issues are resolved.
Everyone, have a good weekend and relax...
Richard

Demo,
If I didn't know any better, I'd say you are brown-nosing Faustus.

*cough*
Faustus has been silent for months on end, not really talking with staff or posting regularly in this forum. You know we all wanted to talk to him again. We missed him.
So when I express gratitude and happiness that this has finally changed, you call it a suckup?
Please.
-Dem
PS. Pakhos... it's called a joke. Funny. Har har. Make you think strange thoughts. Sense of humor. Hence the 'Unf' at the end.
...jeez, you people...
