Crossfire - Upcoming changes, upcoming content

patch is out

You can activate the new renderer via the launcher options (shader option menu)

As already mentioned the patch is pretty big ~4,5gb (about 3,5gb disc space). Lots of stuff has changes with this update since pretty much all 3d models have been edited.

Various 3d models got retextured, some even remodeled (the majority of these changes also apply to the DX version).

There are a few minor issues as described above. I can fix most of them but required to know where lighting errors happen (exact location - if possible with screenshot).

The server also got patched (a requirement to keep the anticheat from banning everyone). I hope that everything went well and it remains stable (could not test it prior release).

transparent?

from what I can see is that the detailmap of the terrain is different (because the renderer can not correctly deal with that yet) and the lighting is different

as mentioned not all parts already use the full feature set of the new renderer (NPC + cutscenes + station interiors, static asteriods)

Maybe one more thing to mention:

There are two new functions you can assign keys to on the game options. There is a OpenGL option menu and a Dev menu. You can freely assing keys to open them.

However, atm the changes done there won't save. They will reset with the next launcher update. I will fix that later.

most certainly not related to the update

it does not change anything that could cause that but Ive updated a plugin recently which is active in MP

Need to observe it a bit
