Update of /cvsroot/netrek/client/netrekxp/resources/docs In directory sc8-pr-cvs7.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv23500/resources/docs Modified Files: changes.txt netrekrc netrekrc_options.txt Log Message: Added new entries to torp and plasma struct, t_clear and pt_clear, to mark an exploding plasma or torp as needing to be freed once its explosion cycle is over. Covers the case where a torp explodes, but the free packet is lost. Previously, the torp would never clear until it was no longer in the local map range. If weaponsOnMap option is on, internal timer to determine when it's safe to expire weapons is moved to map draw routine. Fixes problem where observers who are not locked onto anyone but still getting weapons drawn on map would have problems with weapons (like phasers) not expiring correctly due to packet loss enemy torps which are off local screen are no longer automatically freed (since this data is now sent for observers). Also changed exploding torps to use the time of explosion cycle rather than an arbitrary timer of 100 for expiry. Added support for SHOW_CLOAKERS feature packet. New netrekrc option "showCloakers: (on)/off" to show other cloakers on tactical, only works if server has the new feature packet SHOW_CLOAKERS on.
