Update 4.0.94 - Balancing Ships, Multiplayer Timer, misc.

Latest Update:

  • Balancing: ship attacks are now -30% weakened.
  • Multiplayer: notification beep sound FX 15 seconds before a turn is up!
  • Multiplayer: timing updated for auto-submission of orders (slightly increased the pre-send time and shortened retries)
  • Tournaments (e.g. Championship): has now functionality to observe games. Please note, the list still comes up empty as the tournament hasn't started yet. May 17 :-D
  • Map Editor: automatic color-palette reduction to reduce image size (if needed). Size errors should be gone. If the result isn't pleasing, please use e.g. Gimp to pre-process before you add.
  • Cheating (via Memory Hacks): additional verification added to server-side to reject invalid orders (negative/impossible values - various).
  • Rating Volatility: reset to 1000 for players that force-disjoin games (that's in addition to the -13% rating penalty).
  • Link Parser (Chat + Wall): bugfixes to properly parse & display links.
  • Language Spanish: updated - Thanks :-D
  • Language Greek: updated - Thanks :-D
  • Admins: can delete games they started (exempt from cheat-prevention check).
  • Crash-Bugfix: while creating a new game the game could something crash (GUI updated out of render-thread).
  • Server Update: reduces deadlocks/improves multiplayer game-play performance (updated yesterday/Sunday and today).
