BUILD 1390 - Rendering Fixes

Original: http://www.thd.vg/post/110228837800/kag-build-1390-rendering-fixes

This build is mostly a fix build on 1381, with a couple of little documentation changes here and there.

(You can’t tell from the screenshot, but this is going 60fps)​

• Shader Issues Fixed:
  Some big issues with the smooth shader (and other shaders) have been fixed, with emotes and the builder cursor rendering properly with them on again.
• Uncapped Framerate Issues Fixed:
  Uncapped framerate will no longer cause flickering or ghosting. Keep in mind that the game updates are limited to 30fps anyway, but uncapping the framerate with vsync on can help ensure rendering is synced up with your monitor, and can appear smoother for those that care.
• Map Changes:
  A few minor changes here and there, but especially to the 8x_fest_pass map (the one with the cave cieling) - the cave system above has been shrunk and the central flags are less of a nightmare to capture.
• Simple Join Bugs Fixed:
  The simple join “selection” buttons could get stuck in a “wide” state and didn’t work well at different resolutions. This has been fixed.

Code:

Full Changelog:

[modified] smooth shader off by default again

(For those wondering about the build number irregularities, 1381 was misnumbered)

Have Fun!

Forum addendum: Should be out within the next half hour or so, all things going according to plan build-server-wise. Let us know if you have any further rendering issues, your opinions of the new maps now they've had some time to settle, and the like!

 

@Leo @AsuMagic thanks for the info. More on reproduction would be great, this has been plaguing us for too long.

 

"Still" is misreading the situation - the change that broke mine ownership (again) was them being added directly to the inventory, bypassing the hands (which assign team). I'll see what I can do about an inventory script, but dying with mines in your inventory is hardly a skillful play in any case.

 

I experienced this issue but needs more testing: when as knight/archer carrying some wood or stone, if you change to builder at a ballista you'll lose it, it will simply dissappear, not dropped.

 

Yeah makmoud (and maybe oodle?) has reminded me of that recently (and identified the issue actually). Should be "fixed" next build.
