Update of /cvsroot/netrek/client/netrekxp/resources/docs In directory sc8-pr-cvs16:/tmp/cvs-serv8178/resources/docs Modified Files: changes.txt Removed Files: netrekrc Log Message: The default configuration file has been changed from netrekrc to netrekrc.txt to make life easier on Windows users. Extensionless filenames are a unix artifact and it's just for the better this way, in the long run. Moved netrekrc.txt file from docs folder to a new folder called netrekrc, just makes for easier/more logical build routine. Previously, text files in the same source docs folder were copied to different destination folders. Now each source folder only has items that get sent to the same destination folder. Cambot playback speed 9 is now halfway between speed 8 and max speed, to provide a finer control over speed at the highest playback speeds. Of course > and < work just fine too. Default playback speed now assumes 10 updates/sec instead of 6.5/sec. Double buffering now used for cambot playback. Fixes the issue with border redraw so that's turned back on too. Moved cambot playback delay variable pbdelay from local to global, so that receiving a FPS feature packet will set the playback speed. --- netrekrc DELETED --- Index: changes.txt =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/netrek/client/netrekxp/resources/docs/changes.txt,v retrieving revision 1.195 retrieving revision 1.196 diff -u -d -r1.195 -r1.196 --- changes.txt 12 May 2007 20:26:57 -0000 1.195 +++ changes.txt 14 May 2007 02:56:38 -0000 1.196 @@ -74,6 +74,19 @@ 23) Cambot playback, cambot record, and console window symbolic links are no longer included in the distribution.
