Vendetta Online 1.7.17
Not a big update in terms of visible changes, but pretty big in terms of what's going on in the background. Kourier is undergoing "stability testing", with tonight as a milestone for production usage. Not that we planned on putting it into production tonight, but at least that it would be stable enough to consider doing so. Next week we intend to do more testing of the system, hopefully culminating in its release. This is a pretty big revamp and server-side architectural change. Fortunately, Deliverator doesn't currently have a whole lot of responsibility, beyond the escort missions and grayspace hive, so if the Kourier rollout should go awry, negative impact shold be limited to those areas. In any case, all is going well thus far, and we're optimistic about actually using Kourier in the very near future.
In other news, this update also makes some background changes which will allow more than one station in a given sector. I intend to make use of this, especially in the more "capitol" type sectors, to create more interesting environments.
- fixed fog rendering bug on linux when glow effect is enabled
- fixed background rendering bug when leaving a sector with a storm
- made group list in HUD show correct information when group members enter your sector
