Oolite Bulletins

Oolite test release 1.74.1 is now available from GURPO. This is a bug-fix update to 1.74.

Changes between Oolite 1.74 and Oolite 1.74.1:

• Scripts can once again award and check for trumbles, and the standard trumble mission once again works. (Limitation: scripts cannot increase the number of trumbles by awarding more. This will be fixed in 1.75.)
• The nova mission once again awards the appropriate reward on a successful outcome.
• No more “Witchspace engine malfunction” message when entering a post-nova system.
• When docked at a secondary station, the default selection on the game menu screen is “Game Options” rather than “Begin New Game”.
• Fixed annoying audio latency when playing first sound under Mac OS X.
• Fixed several JavaScript interface bugs that could cause a faulty script to halt without any error message.
• Adjusted graphics settings: shader mode is now restricted to Simple for Intel GMA 950 and ATI Radeon R300 GPU families, and some other tweaks.
• Fixed a material synthesis bug where illumination_modulate_color was ignored when using emission_and_illumination_map in shader mode (material test suite test case 7).
• Possible fix for random freezes when using speech synthesis in Windows.
• Various minor bug fixes and tweaks.

New JavaScript methods:

• vector3D.fromCoordinateSystem()
• vector3D.toCoordinateSystem()
