Planet Centauri News

Hello!

New patch with news Grenades, new souls containers (bigger capacity), new magitech gates and the new shield mechanics! (you will now have a gauge linked to the shield, when you use it, it will cancel 90% of the damages if you have enough gauge left for that).
Many optimizations make the game run better on some computers when the world contains many elements (monsters, magitech etc)

Adds:
- reworked rendering engine to fix all transparency problems on the entity layer
- shield jauge that absorb damages
- lua added for grenades/throwable items
- 8 new grenades
- old grenades explode on contact with the enemy
- graphs for debug/performances analysis (F3 > graphs > enable graphs)
- debug option to see bounding/render boxes and paths (pathfinding)
- new magitech gates: pixel line, full adder, modulo, div and a new memory block type
- 6 new soul containers
- ability to change the color of a soul container by coloring the backwall at the top left
- reworked magitech crafts (uses less resources)

Optimizations:
- updated compiler (only windows) to generate a faster binary
- wisp/repty/devourer lua code optimized (divided update time by 3)
- hide offscreen monsters
- optimized the loading time of worlds with a lot of decorations and especially magitech
- greatly optimized magitech pipes
- greatly optimized rendering of objects (factorized render states)
- a lot of other optimizations overall, the game should run much faster

Fix:
- pathfinding issue
- error if click on 'new' button on magic preview
- magitech debug infos removed on tooltips
- random crash when using balls
- incubator can crash if you keep the UI open and go far away
- tooltips are still visible when we hide the UI (F5)
- magic creation quest dialog

News grenades!


Souls containers that have bigger capacity and you have the possibility to change the color!

Hello, quick patch to fixes somes bugs and add the possibility to use command line interface to host and join a hosted game directly without having to go through the game interface !

Only available for Windows and linux, this update will come for Mac later.

Changelog 0.11.9b - 5 feb 2021

Changes:
- Now it's possible to use the command line interface to host a game directly. Ex:
./PlanetCentauri --host -p 7777 --user 0 --world 1
(for powershell :  replace / by \\ )
Note: it will not start an headless server, but this is planned.
- We can also use the CLI to join without the need to go through the main menu. Ex:
./PlanetCentauri --join --ip onidev.fr --port 7777 --user 1
- brutor transformation: running by default
- don't display the 'R' tooltip on mounts if transformed
- don't display blocks/deco previews if transformed

Fixed:
- if client transformed, new chunks are not loaded
- Monsters are invisible in magic preview / skill previews
- skeleton: if special spawn, become invisible after the animation
- scorpion and skeleton miniboss crash
- ice eagle: no name, no damages, no loots
- bullet/beam attack of multiple monsters do only 1 dmg
