Update of /cvsroot/netrek/client/netrekxp/resources/docs In directory sc8-pr-cvs7.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv20941/resources/docs Modified Files: changes.txt netrekrc_options.txt Log Message: Rewrote doublebuffering to make it an rc option and not a #define - removes a lot of extra work in terms of needing twice as many write bitmap functions (client had one for regular draw, and one for DB) Added observer support to show repair/declare war flags on dashboard. Observers can also now change lock if they are observing a transwarper (server side fix, but good to know). Changed alert borders so they always redraw instead of on an alert change - was causing lots of problems with bitmaps at edge of screen, as well as with double buffering Readded the ability to see tractor/pressors if they go off screen (such as in the case of ATT tractors). Added "doubleBuffering: (on)/off" to control whether to draw with double buffering (it's recommended you do so if using the new planet and ship bitmaps). Can be changed in game through the options menu. Fixed the -c (report players on server) option so it doesn't crash the client Readded the ability to autologin by using -C name -A password. No more extra typing :). Fixed a whole bunch of startup options (-C, -A, -h, -g, etc) that were crashing client if not entered properly. Also made it so it prints out option list on a misused option.
