Posted August 24, 2009 There's a new test client, URL is (as always) http://www.wurmonline.com/client/testclient/wurmclienttest.jnlp * Console command 'bind' can now be used with one parameter (e.g. 'bind k') to show the current bind. * Console command 'setoption' can be just with one parameter (e.g. 'setoption chat') to search for similar option names, and showing their values. * New keybinds: DRAG, STOP_DRAGGING, PUSH, REPAIR, TURN_CLOCKWISE, TURN_COUNTERCLOCKWISE, PULL, IMPROVE, DIG, FLATTEN, PACK, HARVEST, FARM, CULTIVATE, MINE_FORWARD, MINE_UP, MINE_DOWN, MINE_SURFACE, MINE_TUNNEL, PROSPECT, PICK_SPROUT, PRUNE, CUT_DOWN, CHOP_UP Bind names are not final until they're part of a main client release. If you think any of the bind names are bad, explain why and suggest an improvement. * Client will now retry connection failures, e.g. if the server is down or restarting. Known issue: It will also retry when it shouldn't, e.g. wrong password. * Removed some options with limited or no effect. * Changed reflection handling. Reflections now require FBO and GLSL support, but will use less memory and have better quality than before. * Bugfix: Workaround for mipmap crash on ATI cards. This should remove the need for disabling FBO. * Changes to hover text here and there. If you see something, say something. * Now using LWJGL 2.1.0. Native win64 is now supported. In theory. No other interesting changes come to mind. * LWJGL windows can now be moved during startup. Window can now be closed during startup. * Changes to pack updater. Now has a separate file transfer bar for people who don't trust it. Optional graphics and sound packs can now be toggled separately. * Client will now reconnect (or at least try) when disconnected. * Bugfix: Workaround for the "This seems to be your first time playing" quirk, a.k.a "Press tab, then enter". * Bugfix: Client would crash if it crashed before pressing play. * New option no_terrain_render for people who have trouble playing. This option skips terrain rendering and just paints everything green instead. Not intended for use except as a last resort if the client won't run normally. * IRC connections now attach to the chat window * There's a new crash window for expected bugs. You will know it by its cheeriness. Please report all crashes. ... and potential other changes from while I wasn't around. Apparently there's a wiki search or something. Changes in 2.6.8.1477 * Fixed non-square window reflections. * The reflection quality can now be controlled again. * Changed debug output some. Changes in 2.6.8.1482 * Bugfix: Memory leak when sound was disabled Changes in 2.6.8.1485 * Bugfix: Memory leak with cloud shadows enabled * Bugfix: Debug timers would sometimes get confused and show wrong values. Changes in 2.6.8.1488 * Bugfix: Crash on reconnecting Changes in 2.6.8.1493 * Minor debug changes * Bugfix: If the keybindings file is corrupted or empty, load the default keybinds instead. * Bugfix: Experimental packs weren't loaded properly. Changes in 2.6.8.1506 * Improved disconnection handling. * Don't lock up the client when opening an IRC connection. * Remove keyboard focus from console when closing it. Changes in 2.6.8.1520 Large changes in model and texture loading. If you see anything weird, let us know. * Change how models are initialized. * Unload unused models fully. * Unload unused textures. Changes in 2.6.8.1526 * Change how textures are loaded and initialized. This shouldn't cause any visible changes, but if you see something weird, let us know. * The lag when you turn around just after logging in should be gone (but the general lag from terrain being loaded is still there) Changes in 2.6.8.1531 * Bugfix: Make sure reflections can't be enabled when not supported. * Bugfix: Compass was sometimes displayed when it shouldn't be. * Make compass fade out when you start moving, and fade in when you stop. * Bugfix: Crash when logging on while embarked. Changes in 2.6.8.1533 * Bugfix: Another check for unloaded ship models. Changes in 2.6.8.1535 * Bugfix: 2.6.8.1526 made bloom crash the client, fix that. Changes in 2.6.8.1545 * Bugfix: Memory leak in the new texture handling * Bugfix: Double-clicking an item group would sometimes activate the wrong item (or none at all) * Bugfix: Use the normal screenshots/dumps/logs folders when a test client goes to the main server * Bugfix: Really fix the glow crash this time. * Improved feature detection. If you've ever had to change FBO, VBO, Multidraw or similar in the compatability tab because the java would crash, please try the following: - Go to the compatability tab, set everything to "core". - Run the test client. - If it crashes, post console.log and HS_ERR_PID. - If it doesn't crash, post console.log and say that it didn't crash. Changes in 2.6.8.1548 * Improve the tab bars. Only show close button on active tab bar, only color the active tab bar. * Bugfix: Rightmost tab in tab bar was cut off. * Extra error checking for FBO. Changes in 2.6.8.1556 * Basic support for making MrB happy Changes in 2.6.8.1562 * Small speed optimization in texture loading. * Bugfix: Closed tabs will now remember their contents when reopened. * Bugfix: Compatability is now spelled correctly. * Bugfix: Non-power-or-two textures were used even if not supported.

Posted August 24, 2009 Need a way to dump options to a text file like debug and skills etc. It only dumps them to console, which isn't much help. Also, the new reflections is buggy, I'll post screenies later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 24, 2009 The no world render option doesnt work when i put it in the console, it says that it's an invalid command. No world render is already in the current client. Do you mean terrain render? type 'toggle no_world_render true' to toggle off world render. type 'toggle no_terrain_render' for no terrain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 25, 2009 Changes in 2.6.8.1477 Wow, massive FPS increase ... peaking at 60 (rate-limited) now. No longer crashes when killing creatures. Same machine, no reboots, etc. Massive flicker on creature movement in battle on a slope though ... looks like a height+angle change going on at the same time incorrectly.

Posted August 25, 2009 Okay if you say so o.O This is great, I can run multi clients on max settings now, What was it holding it back so much before ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 25, 2009 I must be the only one experiencing worse FPS :-[ Still only get like 10, where I get like 60 on the normal server Do like the reflections now though, good fix ;D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 25, 2009 Massive flicker on creature movement in battle on a slope though ... looks like a height+angle change going on at the same time incorrectly. Could you describe this in more detail? Just flicker is a bit vague to me. Im liking the new keybinds, I need more buttons on my keyboard.. Remember that you can bind not only (e.g.) k, but also shift-k, alt-k, ctrl-k, ctrl-alt-k, ctrl-shift-k, alt-shift-k and ctrl-alt-shift-k. This is great, I can run multi clients on max settings now, What was it holding it back so much before ? Nothing in particular. This was mainly a change to reduce texture memory usage, but I guess there was a bottleneck there. I must be the only one experiencing worse FPS :-[ Still only get like 10, where I get like 60 on the normal server Do like the reflections now though, good fix ;D Could you post a new debug dump from 1477, as well as a console log?
