Changelog for Superfighters Deluxe 1.5.0
The latest update for Superfighters Deluxe is here @everyone.
Here's the full changelog:
Big update for Superfighters Deluxe with new requirements.
SFD is now 64 bit using FNA platform instead of XNA platform. SFD now requires:
- 64 bit Windows.
- DirectX 11 compatible graphics (or OpenGL).
- .NET Framework 4.7.2.
Online play updated to use Steamworks Networking.
As a result of the above changes:
- Improved connectivity as a result of Steamworks Networking. Steamworks Networking has many advantages over the old online connectivity code. We now rely on Steamworks Networking backend which gives easier to connect to servers and friends without the need of port forwarding.
- Join a friends game directly via your Steam's friend list.
- Improved Gamepad support as a result of FNA platform and various bug fixes and improvements to Gamepad support.
- OpenGL or DirectX11 rendering. (Toggle in config.ini in BETA).
Public games in the game browser show estimated ping using Steam functionality (no IP or ping packages used like before).
- Script Editor now has code highlighting.
- Script Editor now has search and find functionality.
- Added script API examples and tutorials available directly in the map Script Editor. (Previously available on MythoLogic Interactive's old forum.)
- ElevatorHelper no longer plays the 'ding' sound the first 300 ms of map start to avoid the 'ding' sound playing when starting a map with elevators.
- Reduced resource usage for clothing items and better handling of texture usage related to items to reduce memory usage, cpu usage and potential stutter.
- Fixed some issues when interacting with scroll bars in menues using only the mouse.
- Fixed navigation issues in the profiles menu when using keyboard or gamepad.
- Suppressed the "Can't find effect 'HIT'" message.
- Other fixes, tweaks and improvements.
- Some old features have to go as they are no longer applicable and the following config.ini keys removed:
- PORT
- CLIENT_PREFERRED_PORT
- AUTOMATIC_PORT_FORWARDING
- LAST_CONNECT_TO_IP
- PUBLIC_BROWSER_PINGING
- SERVICES_HTTPS_MODE
- HOST_GAME_HIDE_IP_IN_CHAT
