UPDATE 2/16/06 ---------------------------------
Attached is a Revision 1 of Gamma Quadrant.
Changes are as follows:
1- Changed the upper limit of the map (2000 meters, instead of 1000 meters).
2- Added force field over laser platform to protect laser shooters. The easiest way to take out a laser shooter will be to use one of the shockwaves located on platform below them.
3- Extended the range of the shockwave weapon (250).
4- Added shockwave shot limit of 5 to prevent camping under force field.
5- Added singular GM to top level of large platforms with a shot limit of 5. Range is not great, but this should add an interesting twist to gameplay.
6- Added circular energy thingy under the small platforms (same as large platforms).
7- Added multiple invisible barriers to try and keep players in the playing area. Not sure why some can get through (jitter?).
8- Brightened Saturn a little; there were some complaints of it being too dark.
9- Set _wingsJumpCount to 1000000. I hope that this is enough
10- Set _coldetDepth to 8. This seems to improve fps by about 25%.
I have tried to remedy the lines through the galaxies and nebula for those running 16 bit video, but I have had no success so far. I have a feeling that it is related to the size of the map, but I am not positive. For those that are having trouble with the lines, I would recommend changing video format to 32 bit (Options -> Display Settings -> Change Video Format -> ***x*** @ ** Hz 32 bits).
Awesome!
