Build of the day for 20.10.2022
🕑 Added 2022-10-20 12:06:47 +0000 UTCThis week continues the trend of not that much happening on Thrive. We had two people make changes for Thrive this week (neither of whom are the usual people, though one of them have made changes before). One of these changes had a visual impact so I've included a screenshot showing how the panspermia start is not available in LAWK mode, which is the correct behaviour, but it was broken after the change to having LAWK on by default. This just goes to show that unless you get a ton of testing for each even small change to Thrive, that change is going to increase the number of bugs.
I continued my work on the launcher 2.0 after not being able to work last week due to covid. I'm mostly back to normal now, but still have a bit of a stuffy nose and some very slight throat pain, so I'm going to mention again that covid sure does seem pretty hardcore even with vaccinations...
This week on the launcher I got most of the logic for downloading Thrive converted over, but I didn't test it yet so there's very likely a bunch of bugs left to fix there. Next I'm working on the running of Thrive part and I'm going to test the download functionality and progress bars etc. GUI elements for it work. After that it's time to get the DevBuild playing working. Then I think the launcher is actually starting to be almost ready functionality wise. I still have the installers and auto update left to do after that. When you start working on something only then do you realize how much work something is, but I think the launcher will be ready in time for 0.6.0 to be released. Some early test versions for you patrons might be available in 2 or 3 weeks to have an early go with the launcher.
In this build:
- Fixed panspermia being selectable with LAWK being on by default now
- Refactored our code related to species colour adjusting when
used in graphs (while doing this we noticed that transparency no
longer works in cells, which was an intended feature to encourage
species that are harder to see for the player to evolve)
- Updated translations
