Release notes
This new release is mainly bug fixes:
- bug with multi-crates AA systems fixed (#140)
- crates are now spawned and dropped in a zone (not in a pile anymore) (#143)
- default language is now english (#141)
- legacy missions (without the load trigger for
ctld-i18n.lua) will now work correctly (#142) - JTAC gives the target altitude information (#101)
We also introduced new features:
- Recon mode is available in a new menu (aptly named
RECON); this allow for any human-piloted unit to automatically mark on the map all enemies that are in its line of sight (#136) - Multi-crates system enhancement: now there are options in the menu to spawn all the crates required for a multicrate system, either systems composed of multiple instances of the same crate (e.g. Humvee TOW) or of different crates (e.g. Hawk); this feature can be disabled by setting
ctld.enableAllCratetofalse. The "Load" and "Drop" menu items now also load and drop all the crates at once. - Reaper drone: a Reaper drone can now be spawned, transported and deployed in the field. It'll work as an AFAC. (#86)
- I18N system enhancement: we added version control to the linguistic versions (so that when we introduce new texts or change existing ones in the English version, translators know that they have something to do) and a new function
ctld.i18n_check()to make these checks easier; simply add a call to this function at the end of the CTLD.lua file (there already is a commented-out example) and it'll report (in thedcs.logfile) all the things missing from a specific linguistic version.
