Camera movement is now smooth
- Since release, the camera movement has been pretty jittery. This update smooths out the camera movement.
- Under the hood: instead of manually forcing the mouse cursor to the center of the screen each frame, the game now instead grabs the mouse's relative movement. This results in clean, no-jitter movement.
Camera speed boost change
- Pressing the Shift key speeds up camera movement. Before, it ramped up the velocity over .8 seconds. In this update the ramp-up time is now .1 seconds.
- Lowered the camera boost speed from 12x to 4x.
Particle effects now work
- Particles effects... now work!
- Under the hood: Updating the FNA library (current version 23.08) resolved the issue of particles not rendering.
Pressing ESC now exits gameplay screens
- The ESC key is now prioritized to exit the end turn menu, ship orders mode, and the fleet setup menu.
- If neither of these menus/modes are active, ESC will activate the main menu.
Fleet Menu useability
- Moving the mouse to the edge of the screen now correctly scrolls through the ships.
- Mousewheel now correctly scrolls through the ships.
Orders menu UI
- When giving a move order to the ship, added a missing vertical UI line between the selected ship and the floor grid.
Video startup/setup
- On first game start, the game now defaults to your current monitor resolution.
- Options menu monitor resolutions are no longer hardcoded. The game will now instead collect and list all resolutions available to your hardware.
Added safemode
- Adding the commandline parameter [b]-safemode[/b] will force the game to start in 1280x720 windowed mode.
