v0.7.1
Pre-releaseThis is a bugfix release. v0.7 failed rendering every time the adventurer made a step, and also had some pretty heavy performance issues. This release fixes those. Following is the release text for 0.7:
The primary focus of this release is, as mentioned, buildings. And furniture. Tables, chairs, waterwheels, etc.
There's quite a lot of stuff that doesn't have a model yet, and even more with only placeholder models, but since it's been a while since the last release, and there's a new DFhack release, I figured I'd release what I have so far.
I also added in sun movement that matches your fortress time, but it's really fast, because of the fortress timescales.
Changelog:
v0.7.1:
- Fixed a bug that caused the landscape to not render whenever you moved as an adventurer.
- Various performance improvements.
v0.7: - Allowed loading up a DF world without a fort loaded, like on the embark screen.
- Added support for adventure mode entering and leaving fast travel.
- Changed how textures are loded. Alpha maps now go into texture shape, and specular smoothness maps go into the material texture.
- Added building support.
- Added basic meshes for many, but not all, buildings.
- Added support for semitransparent meshes, like glass.
- Added a day/night system. Time can be paused by pressing P, and can be moved forward and back with [ and ].
- Added optional scaling of unit sprites. Can be toggled with L.
- Added ability to toggle shadows from overhead hidden geometry by pressing O.
Controls:
W, A, S, D, and middle click drag: Move horizontally.
Q, E: Move up and down.
