Build 0.0152
No luck with the cloud saves yet. I think I will take a break from it for a bit as I am burning a lot of time testing and researching. I will come back around to it in a few more updates.
- Fixed rockcloud generation in sandbox to reduce camera clipping on background rocks when rotating camera.
- Fixed sandbox generator bug causing warpgates to generate a to and from gate on itself. No longer will start sector have gates to itself.
- Fixed material flicker bug when opening passive scanner from targeting panel.
- Fixed button highlight on options panel when opening for the first time after changing screen size.
- Adjusted mission overview panel layout to better feature Payment, Deposit, Space Required, and Faction at the top of the overview panel.
- Adjusted mission qualification level scale. Reduced additive bonus to 35% of player pilot level.
- Adjusted targeting panel code to remove all passive scanner functions and moved them their own file.
- Adjusted code for passive scan range and speed calculations on the ship passive scanner.
- Added skillpoint bonus and Faction rating bonus to the mission overview panel in station.
** New passive scanner panel.
I finally got into the passive scanner filter, and I have rebuilt the entire system to function in it's own panel. This panel has a much better look and feel, as well as additional functionality. I may be polishing it up a bit more in the next couple of updates.
- Added new breakaway panel for ship Passive Scanner to replace the old small passive scan panel attached to the targeting panel.
- Added drag, drop and resize functionality to the new passive scanner panel.
- Added active scan ring to the passive scanner, now showing the current distance of the active ping and current progress of the scan.
- Added scan object indicator to the passive scanner. Scanned items will now appear in the ping box and show relative position to the scanning ship.
- Added color coding to the object indicators for the passive scanner. Base categories all have a unique color.
- Added object indicator counter to the passive scanner panel to show the total number of detected objects per scan.
- Added scroll-able filter list to the passive scanner panel.
- Added rotation to scanner panel ship indicator icon. Rotation will show relation of scanned item to position and rotation of ship.
- Added ability to filter for all 11 types of resources.
- Added ability to filter for all 10 types of salvage.
