*** Vendetta 1.8.487
- Fixed issue with Android version choosing the wrong screen size and clipping off half the view.

- Save Password setting defaults to checked for mobile versions.

- Target Ping latency indicator for currently selected target is displayed by color of the word "Ping" to the right of the Distance field. The color Green for < 150 ms, yellow for 150 to 300 ms, red for 300 to 500 ms, and blue for over 500 ms.

- Your own Ping latency is indicated underneath your ship's Health percentage on the right-hand side of the HUD (PC/mobile), the same colors are used.

- Windows version has a new experimental feature that displays selection boxes and names on other ships.
Type "/set rAllTargetBoxes 0" (without the double quotes) to turn it off.
There are 4 modes, and the default setting is 3:
1 - Only boxes around every ship
2 - Boxes and name around every ship
3 - Boxes around every ship and names for players only
4 - Boxes around every ship and name for only the selected ship
The box and name fade out between 500 and 1000 meters away.
Configurable settings are rAllTargetBoxFontSize defaulting to 6, rAllTargetBoxFontAlpha defaulting to 0.25, rAllTargetBoxFontFadeMinDistance defaulting to 500, and rAllTargetBoxFontFadeMaxDistance defaulting to 1000.

FYI, the ping indicator currently updates once every 10 seconds.

"I'm getting a blue pattern on scope number 3"

Is it possible to change the word "ping" to a circle beside the player's name and have that circle change colour as above?

+1 to Ore's request

cool, long awaited indicator! Does it show momentary ping readings every 10 seconds, or average ping for previous 10 seconds?

It doesn't show any readings afaik, only different colours for the word ping for different ping ranges.

I'm actually not sure off the top of my head. I think it's an accumulated rolling average, but I think the period is pretty short. So, given the 10-second update time, it "might as well" be instantaneous to the time when it updates. I don't think it accumulates over the entire 10-second period, it just updates at that time.

But, I'd have to check into it to be sure.

I'm not against changing it to a "circle" or whatever, but that won't be quite as self-evident in meaning to a newer player. Not that it's super obvious as it is, but a circle will be.. more opaque in meaning.

The ping value is a snapshot of the round trip time (RTT) which uses average & mean deviation estimators from Van Jacobson's Congestion Avoidance and Control paper https://ee.lbl.gov/papers/congavoid.pdf
Well, that's what the comments in the code say, I haven't double-checked that it is correct anymore. That code is going on 13 years old, written by andude. The commit date is 13 years yesterday actually.

Laggy valk pilot? That'll leave you not feelin to hot!

I did, however notice that the word ping under your credits on the HUD stays green. Is it supposed to change according to your own ping? Because i'll be damned if i'm magically green.

Not sure if I'm just doing it wrong, but the boxes around ships don't seem to working at all.

This is an excellent update.
