RockPatch 1.08 - Preview

[pd]

good point... but why didn't you do that in the first place?
k, remove GUI:Start from that list.

btw, one last question:
shall I compress the exe or not?
I'd use eXPressor, the exe would then be 1.47MB.
I'm not 100% sure though how compatible a packed exe is (OS-wise).
thoughts?

STT: SkirmishMultiEngineer - "Require multiple engineers to capture a bulding"

Does this mean the same thing for capturing techbuildings? A check to see if the building is a neutral building with 'NeedsEngineer=yes' set and if so use default capture logic even when multiengineer is set might be nice.

As for compressor, I would say no. The patch is only distributed as a patch anyway so it wouldn't save on download space and most people have such large hard drives that the 2-3 Mb you save doesn't really matter.

ok, so no compression

I gathered my language skills (and my French dictionaries) to translate all the strings:

English:
GUI: CampaignList - "Campaigns list"
GUI: PlaceUrbanAreas - "Urban areas"
STT: PlaceUrbanAreas - "Toggles the placing of urban areas."
STT: MultiEngineer - "Re-enables the old engineer system (multiple engineers required to capture a building)."

German:
GUI: CampaignList - "Kampagnenliste"
GUI: PlaceUrbanAreas - "Städte"
STT: PlaceUrbanAreas - "Bestimmt, ob Städte auf der Zufallskarte erstellt werden."
STT: MultiEngineer - "Stellt das alte Ingeneur-System wieder her (mehre Ingeneure zum Einnehmen eines Gebäudes nötig)."

French:
GUI: CampaignList - "Liste de campagnes"
GUI: PlaceUrbanAreas - "Secteurs urbains"
STT: PlaceUrbanAreas - "Détermine si des secteurs urbains vont être produits."
STT: MultiEngineer - "Rétablit le vieux système des ingeneurs (plus d'ingeneurs se faut pour prendre un bâtiment)."

If there are any complaints, you got 1:30 hours time to post them
then I'm going to pack all the stuff and send it to Marshall (hope he got time).

are these for 1.08 or 1.09?

R:ROTC changed the tech level requirements of all barracks to tech level 1. however, the AI probably still needs tweaking.

[pd]

is this the RockPatch 1.08 preview thread or 1.09?

That being the most intelligent post in this thread, I will close this now.

The new exe as well as the other stuff is on its way to Marshall.
That means: 1.08 comes very soon.

Since 1.08 is released then, we don't need a preview thread any longer.
Please head to the main RockPatch discussion thread again (it's really been lacking post frequency since this thread is open).
Goodbye!
