[Ruud]

Friday releaseday...
v0.8.15 is at http://www.racer.nl/download/racer0.8.15.zip

Have a great weekend!

Changes:
- Multiplayer linear interpolation revised due to timing problems. The spline method currently
is a bit buggy because of these revisions. Now default interpolation is linear (at 10Hz).
- Added standard_grass_v/f.cg shaders for grass (using the tree shader gives problems with shadows)
- Added dyn_standard_wave_v/f.cg for waving objects for cars (not too useful?)
- standard_bump_detail_v/f.cg had syntax errors
- Baja's collide.dof had an undefined material, fixed (thanks to Boomer541)
- BlackBox is removed (doesn't work on Win7) and replaced with StackWalker; puts stacktrace in QLOG.txt
- fixed dyn_standard_bump_speca_v/f.cg shadow generation
- Replay save dialog wasn't visible, now it is (and dragable even)
- Replay movie creation dialog wasn't visible.
- Replay movie audio had some faults. It now downsamples any 5.1 sound to stereo (hope the channels are ok) and saves a more correct .wav. Also the adding to replay.avi now seems to work correctly.
Also, the conversion to 16-bit was buggy and could generate spikes.
- Car 3D sounds now get a '3D spread' of 90 degrees. Previously, stereo input signals in 3D
would become mixed to mono (as 2 mono sources at the same spot). With the 90 degree spread,
they are played 45 degrees left & 45 degrees right, so this should provide a stereo separation.
It would be nice thus if engine sounds in the future become stereo, probably.

...as I'm working on a drifting point system, I need some script function for accessing the value of wheel slip angles(long/lat) and wheel contact type(road/grass/gravel). Thank you in advance

Something like Grid/Shift Drift HUD's would be really cool...Looking forward from your skills.

All that stuff should be per fs_filter, which can be defined per camera, imo.

So you have in-car cameras that are quite like the human eye, then trackside cameras which have DOF and flares, and so on... rather than these globals...

Then we can just build up collections of nice fs_filters to use

Bug 0.8.15

In TrackEd, drawing lines ! It's somehow offset from my selection point (yellow line pointing upwards)
Anyone else ?

Make sure you aren't ending your line on a wall or other object, such as a tree.

Hi boomer, sorry for the slow reply.

Check that link on how to set material definitions.

Found a Qlog error with Ver 0.0815.

There is a missing texture image (impact.tga) which is used in the particles.ini file.

Please post it, Ruud, thank you.
