Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a crash when playing Evacuation of Hoth custom level due to a frame scenery object being destroyed.
  • Fixed a bug where levels wouldn't load if they had spaces in front of certain keywords - such as Mission 2 of Don Sielke's.
  • Fixed a bug where items would be despawned in some cases where the sector heights were too small.
  • Fixed a bug where briefings could be skipped in some mods due to an order of operations error.
  • Fixed a bug where sprites didn't always light up correctly when attacking.
  • Fixed a bug where the Probe Droid would stay fullbright after firing.
  • Fixed a bug where autoaim wasn't working with 3D objects like turrets and welders.
  • Fixed a bug where autoaim targeted farther away items instead of closer items in some cases.
  • Fixed a bug where the player could save while dying and then be invulnerable on load until they healed.
  • Fixed crashes when INF sectors don't exist in custom maps.
  • Fixed a bug where jumping up to sector second heights isn't as forgiving in TFE as DOS, resulting in custom level progression issues.
  • 3DO PLANE projection when using the GPU Renderer now matches the software renderer for non-flat polygons.
  • Fixed a bug where the top and bottom textures were drawn even with the "no wall" flag set instead of showing the sky when using the GPU Renderer.
  • Fixed a bug with crouch jumping that kept the player from fitting into small places, blocking progression in Boba Fett's Revenge and other custom levels.
  • Fixed bugs with exterior adjoins that caused walls to be incorrectly drawn where there should only be sky.
  • Fixed a bug with INF messages using invalid delay values behaving different in TFE than DOS, making switches in some custom levels work incorrectly.
  • Fixed a bug with invalid INF message types (such as "done") being treated different than DOS, breaking different triggers and elevators in custom levels.
  • Fixed bugs with Gas Mask rendering when using the GPU Renderer at 320x200 resolution.
  • It is now possible to hold ALT and move, and use ALT for crouch and slow actions.
  • Improve Mod Loader text file parsing so it can be reliably extract the mod names.
  • Improved PDA input and fixed layer keys being swapped.
  • Fixed another PDA input issue, where the mouse location could effect hotkey results.
  • Fixed a bug with keyboard input on the Agent menu, where scrolling downward would not wrap if all levels are complete.
  • Secret Percentage update after loading from a save, fixed LADATA save percentage issue.
  • The GPU renderer now properly emulates several stretching mid-texture effects (these worked in the software renderer).
  • Fixed a sky texture offset bug using the GPU renderer that caused the incorrect part of the sky to show up in part of Stars End.
  • Saved games with no name given are now assigned a default name, so that they can be selected and loaded.
