Update of /cvsroot/netrek/client/netrekxp/resources/docs In directory sc8-pr-cvs7.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv31529/resources/docs Modified Files: changes.txt hints.dat Log Message: Moved message HUD display into local DrawMisc() function rather than updating local independently, as it was causing problems with double buffering. Added HUDbuf and showHUD variables to let local.c interact with smessage.c for displaying messages on tactical. Made HUDoffset a global variable. Removed unused mdisplayed variable. Readded some BlankChar calls that had been removed (no idea why), these missing calls were causing message cursor to not be erased properly on delete/backspace/ctrl-u. Fixed wrong info in hints about SB phaser cycling. Message window will now say "Click here to send a message to ALL" until any message is sent, then it will be blank as usual. Left clicking on message window will either a) start a new message to ALL board or b) continue current pending message. Added explanation of what DI is in the rank window.

"to ogg" means, the process of cloaking and appearing adjacent to an enemy while firing torps and tractoring on to him, with the purpose to kill that player, without caring about dying in the process. "to doosh" means, killing an enemy ship which is carrying armies. People often yell "doosh!" after they kill a huge carrier. a "planet scum" is someone who only cares about taking planets so he gets good ratings. This often hurts the team because the wrong planets are taken, or the planets are taken with little armies and easily captured back. \ No newline at end of file Index: changes.txt =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/netrek/client/netrekxp/resources/docs/changes.txt,v retrieving revision 1.154 retrieving revision 1.155 diff -u -d -r1.154 -r1.155 --- changes.txt 2 Apr 2007 10:12:38 -0000 1.154 +++ changes.txt 2 Apr 2007 21:12:41 -0000 1.155 @@ -1,4 +1,11 @@ Netrek XP 2006, Version 1.3: +- changed how message HUD works, it now is refreshed during the redraw of the local map + rather than updated independently, should fix some redraw bugs with message HUD +- message window will now say "Click here to send a message to ALL" until any message + is sent, then it will be blank as usual +- left clicking on message window will either a) start a new message to all board or + b) continue current pending message +- rank window now shows DI needed for next rank - default buttonmap now uses mouse wheel for accel/decel, scroll up to accelerate to max, scroll down to decelerate to warp 0. - fixed annoying bug where tactical would sometimes seem to disappear on reentry into game @@ -35,7 +42,7 @@ - new Options menus for Hockey and Weapons - planet window no longer gets unmapped on death - fixed macro crash bug with sending macros to invisible players on the playerlist -- added "mapSort: (on)/off" to sort the planet list, with your planets first, then the planets +- added "sortPlanets: (on)/off" to sort the planet list, with your planets first, then the planets of the other teams, starting with the team with the most players.
