fixed asteroid spawn error on clients (caused multiplayer to be unplayable)

added more asteroid models

Version 0.26.2016-11-27

fixed bug with controls options do not spawn if there is no game settings file exists, basically every 1^st launch was unplayable due to this.

asteroids have collision sounds now

asteroids receive collision damage now

projectiles do hit asteroids too now

Wow! Very good game! I'm excited to see this further develop!

Version 0.27.2016-12-30

fixed bug with game settings path on Linux

asteroid generation now takes almost 2 times less time, meaning less lag at the beginning

asteroids are now invulnerable during world generation

multiple asteroid parameters no longer sent during world generation

world can now be saved and loaded (just asteroids without minerals data yet)

Version 0.28.2017-01-21

reworked network manager

removed lag on world generation on the server completely, reduced lag on client connect

added loading screen

on clients scene loading happens behind a loading screen, on the server both scene loading and world generation happens behind a loading screen.

Version 0.28.2017-01-22

removed interface glitch in the game scene

removed input keycode debug info

Version 0.29.2017-02-15

you can have multiple save files now

fixed save path bug

changed save path on Linux

fixed missing quality presets bug

removed save and load buttons from game scene

game now has autosave feature

ship design can be saved and loaded now (but not yet applied, there is some work with the network to do, to make it possible, I will make it in the next update in about a week)

each loaded ship design has a preview now

Version 0.29.2017-02-21

ship designs can be spawned and applied over network now.

fixed error on loading ship designs, those have turret or cannon type blocks

changed internal ship design file format, previous is not supported any longer (future versions of the game will have compatibility with it)

changed internal world file format, previous is not supported any longer (compatibility with this world format most likely will be broken few more times)

turrets and cannons are no longer separate objects (that was way too unclear for new players how does this work (e.g. place this turret mount there, place turret on it at specific angle, and finally place gun in there), worse performance-wise and harder to develop)

reduced network traffic on block spawn

improved block spawn method (not the same as above or below)

reworked internal ship design (blocks relationships), adding, removing and destruction of blocks should be faster now, idea of sockets on blocks is obsolete, there will be new one.

turrets can no longer be built too close to each other

broken beam cannons

Version 0.29.2017-03-01

fixed and reworked beam cannons, improved beam cannons performance and reduced network traffic consumption by beam cannons by ~2 times as result of merged cannon design

fixed cannons not shooting if they are rotated by more then 30 degrees

removed lag when drawing many ship design preview images

added graphics for block and inventory buttons

updated blocks description and tool-tips

game settings no longer reapplied each time scene changes

new world and ship designs will be given default names if they are empty

world and ship design selection menus UI is now consistent, overall UI is still a mess

broken inventory

Version 0.30.2017-03-05

fixed inventory

simplified inventory (containers no longer have their own inventory that had to be synced saved and loaded on per-container basis, instead only ships have their inventory now, without possibility to access each container's inventory and choose where to store what, it was a nonsense anyway)

inventory UI only updated when inventory changes now

improved UI

minor fixes

Version 0.30.2017-03-06

default player ship consists of multiple blocks now instead of one

fixed beam and mining cannons not being loadable from file

selected ships have square frame attached instead of capsules in the middle

minor fixes

Version 0.30.2017-03-07

fixed empty block connections data when saving ship design on remote clients (saving ship design now syncs ship design with server)

fixed log file warnings when draw ship design preview buttons on clients (removed some lags)

fixed ship not being controllable after applied new ship design for host/server

minor fixes

Version 0.30.2017-03-08

fixed bug that prevented some block connection calculations on server

fixed ship not being controllable after applied new ship design for remote clients

reduced network traffic at block creation

fixed bug with ship size calculation at game start

fixed bug when ship design was saved by everyone when one of the players saved it

world saving no longer triggered on clients

minor fixes

Version 0.31.2017-04-19 (experimental)

implemented floating world origin (practically unlimited world size)

server no longer has authority over client movement and collision detection (victimized to above)

broken movement controls of ships on clients as result of local authority over movement (because engines is server-side logic now)

changed network sync algorithm (now uses twice as much network traffic)

minor changes in sector saving algorithm

sector savedata is now ignored when world loads, instead only one asteroid is spawned.

autosave will save that, breaking any proper sector data

possibly broken external ip detection and connection over internet.

updated ship size calculation and fixed ship size calculation bug on clients that caused error messages spam in logs

fixed ship status shaking

realigned main camera with calculated ship center by default

ship center is now shown by green capsule

more bugs?

Version 0.31.2017-04-25(experimental 2)

much more reliable client authority calculation on server-side

improved movement sync algorithm (better floating world origin handling, less traffic, more precision)

fixed movement controls of ships on clients

much more responsive controls on clients

improved energy settings calculation, fixed table values and sliders

energy parameters are now calculated on both server and client sides, client only performs simplified calculation for his authority objects

client now calculates ship movement for his authority objects

minor fixes
