Netrek XP 2006, Version 1.2:
+- added "UseFullShipInfo: (on)/off" to choose whether to use short or long
type packets
+ for other player info. Default is on. This netrekrc setting controls
whether the
+ feature packet FULL_DIRECTION_RESOLUTION is used.
+- support for new server feature packet FULL_DIRECTION_RESOLUTION. This is a
great change,
+ for it now uses long packets instead of short packets for other players ship
info.
+ This means, finally, other ships can be displayed to 256 directions instead
of 16,
+ and other player's speeds can be displayed correctly above warp 16. For
those using
+ the high res bitmap sets, it is a subtle yet noticeable improvement. The
one downside
+ is the player packets are now 12 bytes instead of 4 bytes. At 10
updates/sec and 10
+ players on the screen, it is an extra 800 bytes/sec, or .8 kb/sec, of
bandwidth. If
+ you can't afford that bandwidth, you probably have no business being on the
internet,
+ anyways.
- planet window now updates regularly when planet status changes
- det circle changed so it only flashes on det, rather than be on all the time
- added "metaVerbose: on/(off)" and "metaUDPCache: (filename)" options to
netrekrc
