Beta 0.6.4.29
Announcing a push to live has brought up some last minute bugs =D
I've fixed a few things, and am eagerly awaiting some data that should help me pinpoint the map icon bug. I have not been able to reproduce it myself yet, so hopefully a save game already with the broken icons on the map should let me fix whatever the problem is.
Also, the last patch had a bit of a blunder with it. I reused some settings variables that were used in pre-0.6.4, though in a different manner than they used to be used. This caused the old saved settings to be re-loaded, inputting numbers that should never be possible which ended up causing problems. The problems were:
1. Render distance could jump up to over 1000km, and cause the game to crash.
2. Biome noises were not yet being used in 0.6.4, but could still be changed in the world creation window. This would cause the numbers to suddenly switch into use, causing already created (0.6.4) worlds with changes to their biome settings to suddenly generate differently.
I renamed all of the variables in question, so they will be forced back to default with this patch.
The good: Any worlds created before 0.6.4.28 will now run in 0.6.4.29 as normal.
The bad: Any worlds created with altered biome settings, specifically with the 0.6.4.28 patch, will be reset all biome settings to 1.0, causing them to be different then they were yesterday.
All in all that means only worlds created in the past 36 hours or so will be affected, but my appologies if that causes problems for anyone, and thank you for the prompt reports!
I am going to be out of town this weekend, so it might end up being better to wait to push live until the start of next week... But i think even with the possibility of some small problems with a specific user or two, the benefits outweight the risk and I will go ahead and push beta live tomorrow.
