Neue MegaMek Version: 49.0

Zuletzt aktualisiert am 6. Juni 2021 von DarkISI

Mit Version 49.0 beginnt nun der neue Dev-Zyklus für MegaMek und es gibt einige Änderungen. Bevor ich mit denen loslege, als erstes aber ein paar Hinweise:

Von nun an benötigt ihr Java 11, um die neuen Dev-Versionen nutzen zu können. (Das gilt nicht für die 48er Stable-Reihe.) Informationen zur Installation von Java 11 findet ihr hier.

MegaMek-Lobby

In MegaMek wurde die Lobby massiv überarbeitet, um 14 größere Wünsche der Fanzs umzusetzen, die teilweise schon Jahre alt sind. Es wurde zwar getestet, aber trotzdem ist noch immer mit Fehlern zu rechnen (ist ja schließlich auch eine Development-Version).

Hier eine Liste der wichtigsten Änderungen:

+ Unifies the tooltip in the lobby and game (while still enabling different views, e.g. the pilot info can be omitted as is done in the lobby mek table) and moves the code out of Entity; the tooltip now shows a different symbol for capital armor. I’ve introduced many unicode symbols, these require the Java „Dialog“ logic font, I hope they work on other systems besides Win10 as well.
+ Adds a general GUI scaling float value (neutral value = 1) that is accessible in the Client Settings and, unless a modal dialog is up, with CTRL Numpad+ and CTRL Numpad- . This currently scales mainly the lobby and some dialogs in the lobby that have been revamped.
+ Completely revamps the info in the lobby Mektable, obviously. I’ve tried using colors that are desaturated in the hope this will make the colors readable for everyone. Also, the main colors come from methods that return different colors based on whether the current UI theme is light or dark.
+ Allows sorting the Mektable by various algorithms
+ Generally shows more info directly in the table such as velocity, height, deployment, partial repairs, C3 info. I’ve tried to hide stuff that’s unnecessary such as height in space and so on to make it all kinda useful
The lobby now shows if a unit has a problem such as instant death upon deployment or an unconnected C3 computer; the tooltip gives details on the problem (unit cannot survive in vacuum)
+ Makes the compact mode more useful; it now shows almost the same info as the full mode.
+ Revamps the popup menu; it now allows some more unit settings such as C3 configuration and most operations work on multiple units
+ Adds toggles to hide unofficial and legacy game options; also adds a Toggle Button that has a checkmark or cross as the normal Java toggle buttons don’t show their status really well
+ Adds searchlights automatically to all units in circumstances when they’re needed
+ Revamps the player config and planetary settings dialog
+ Revamps the player table; it now allows multi-selection and direct setting of team and deployment via popup, also shows local bots with a symbol
Makes some dialogs remember their size and position such as the Unit selector and force generator
+ Adds Ctrl-S Quicksave and Ctrl-L Quickload. I think this is only useful for development. Ctrl-L works only from the main menu I think.
+ The mektable generally remembers column sizes
+ removes some buttons from the main interface (such as Delete All) and adds a confirm dialog to delete and various other things that shouldn’t be insta-kill
Minefields now actually require the TacOps minefields game option to be active
+ Corrects conventional fighter weight classes, use the same as ASF (50t = medium)
Corrects legal deployment with double blind
+ Obviously revamps board selection to graphical drag-n-drop. It can deal with server-side boards (although in this case it can’t actually display the real board, just an empty placeholder) and invalid boards.
+ Instead of choosing a board at random, the surprise function will now choose a board from a list of boards that can be assigned by selecting the desired boards and dragging them to the preview.
+ Board setups can now be saved. I’ve created some examples from the boards we have
+ Adds a smaller mini-map zoom that I neede for those huge maps and a better space mini-map with stars…
+ Adds a team overview pane. The table can be detached to a window. It shows the summarized strength of the teams and when one team is selected in the table it shows the relative values (87% of …)
+ Adds ammo to the unit tooltips
+ Adds forces to MM and a force tree view to the lobby. Forces currently have no in-game effect. The game has a Forces object that controls the individual Force objects. The structure is similar to MekHQ’s forces although I believe MekHQ has no owner field. Forces can be saved to MUL files and load from there correctly. However it only saves the full force every unit is in, not the forces themselves. When loading a MUL, the force structure is reconstructed from these individual force entries. Therefore, loading from a MUL will always create new forces, never integrate into existing ones. The forces from MekHQ can be transported to MM by using the String representation as Ive done in the MekHQ PR.
+ Units in forces and sub forces can be moved up and down by CTRL-Up and CTRL-Down; no multi-selection.
+ The mek table and force table allow CTRL-C to copy selected units (forces are ignored). It exports the unit, tonnage, pilot and a few values and pastes mostly well into Excel, although some units have secondary names that don’t paste well such as „(3025)“ which arrives as -3025 in Excel. Ive found no solution for this that also allows pasting into MM well.
+ Obviously, the mektable and force table also allow CTRL-V. So it’s easy to copy-paste units in MM.
+ Also, makes the key binds overlay disappear in the map preview
