  Zeta Leporis RTS updated to v.0.6.29.2026

  Mostly a continuation of work on multiplayer; got more things working correctly and eliminated all currently known causes of multiplayer crashes, so it should be possible to play an entire multiplayer match to the end now, albeit still with plenty of quirky little bugs on the client side. In other words, multiplayer's still in a pre-alpha state. Changelog single player .6.23 -Enabled fullscreen switching (alt+enter). -Removed returns from localization files, which allegedly makes the game crash when not in fullscreen. -Explosion script is now executed by the exploding unit instead of the attacker. -Collector and defense turret shields no longer reset to 0 upon upgrading. .6.25 -Made fighter turn direction deterministic. .6.28 -Removed a line of code that was likely sometimes causing a unnecessary recalculation of which selected mechbot to display. multiplayer .6.22 -Fixed client crash on player elimination caused by an out of scope variable. -Rounded all values before writing them to the buffer in an attempt to address the sporadic issue with incorrect client unit hp. .6.23 -Client turret bases are now removed properly when upgrading and when destroyed. -Added client explosions. -Client unit health now is now always set correctly upon construction completion. -Clients can no longer do free research at facilities. -Fixed a bug preventing ERCs from targeting clients properly in the case of RMB targeting. -Investigated the issue of clients' fighters not damaging right-clicked targets; made improvements to the code but seemingly didn't find the cause. .6.24 -Fixed client crash caused by a scoping bug in the client turret base removal code. .6.25 -Made fighter turn direction deterministic. .6.26 -Fixed host crash introduced in .6.25 caused by trying to send an array rather than array index to clients. -Host now fully updates client fighters when updating their state. -Clients can now cancel shipyard construction queues, except it didn't work. .6.27 -Client fighter state ...

  Changelog single player .6.17 -Available resource deposit locations are now highlighted when placing resource collectors. -Fixed targeting issue causing individual fighters to stop finding targets automatically in some cases. -Units' GUI elements are now drawn by the GUI controller rather than by the individual units, and are no longer drawn when off screen, for improved efficiency. -Unit GUI element position is now updated properly when changing the GUI scale in-game with the +/- keys. -Changed audio volume to be set logarithmically and adjusted the default volume of music and sfx accordingly. -Removed unused master volume variable. -Fixed bugs and added missing code preventing target/construction assignment via shipyard rally point from working correctly for all shipyards. multiplayer .6.17 -Attempted to fix issue with clients' mechbots at match start being in a slightly different location than the host's. -Added debug info for client display issue when selecting the starting mech shipyard. -Added missing client unit update for assigning newly created mechbots to a construction project. .6.18 -Fixed client unit deselection code that was trying to use a variable used only by the host. -Implemented potential fix for client display issue when selecting the starting mech shipyard (if the issue was diagnosed correctly). -Fixed issue with clients' mechbots at match start being in a slightly different location than the host's. -Reduced client starting unit spawn-in delay, which was increased to 2 seconds in a past attempt to address an issue with a different cause that has since been resolved. -Added client-side battle station creation, which apparently was missing up until now somehow. .6.19 -Fixed crash caused by incorrectly trying to fix client display issue when selecting the starting mech shipyard in .6.18. -Fixed client display issue when selecting the starting mech shipyard. -Client is no longer given the notification to pick a player slot upon joining the multipl...

  0.6: The "Juicy" Update

  Juice: All those little extra details that together make a big difference.Amid the ongoing work on multiplayer, I've (finally!) juiced up the game a bit, adding shadows, projectile glow, ship engine jets, shipyard construction arms, and better explosions. I've also improved the appearance of units under construction, as well as the appearance of mechbots as they are doing the constructing. Update 0.6 also features GUI improvements, a new background music track (featured in the update video), bug fixes and efficiency improvements, and a new unit, the resource converter:The resource converter, available upon reaching tech level 3, continually turns two resource types into the third resource type at a 2,2:1 ratio, until its storage is full. The converted resource can be chosen manually, or the converter can be set to run automatically, in which case it reevaluates which resource to produce whenever it finishes converting a "batch" of resources.Full patch notessingle player.5.62-Mechbots now run build script if not constructing, rather than if they have no construction target.-Cleaned up AI building construction code to be in line with previous code refactoring.-Improved the appearance of the Energy Reversal Cannon.-Rebalanced VO audio volume..5.63-Shipyards still under construction now display their build menus when selected in all cases, allowing units to be added to their build queues.-Simplified code for checking if more than one building type was selected.-Moved unit deselection to the beginning of the unit selection script..5.67-Added the Resource Converter, which can be built after reaching tech level 3 and currently just works automatically.-Added debug info for tracking cargo barge resource handling, to make sure it is working correctly in all cases..5.68-Increased mech shipyard resource export threshold from 100 to 200 to enable mechbot creation when ore starved.-Cargo barges now check if they've picked up any of a resource before attempting to deliver it to t...
