Build 998.8 Release Notes (changes from B998.7)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

* FIXED: Lua bug that occurs on 1% of intel updates on "The Enemy Below"
* FIXED: Not being able to progress TSS campaign after reaching the pass-score on scen #4
* FIXED: Campaign name not showing up for "The Silent Service" when browsing campaign saves
* FIXED: Torpedo hitting a sub 1000ft deeper
* FIXED: Deployed RVs from MRV-armed ICBM (not MIRV-armed) are treated as ICBMs, causing a silent null crash
* FIXED: ASW helos evaluate wrong parameter, preventing them from deploying dipping sonar on ASW Strike missions
* FIXED: Prevent helicopters from chasing after subs under ice
* FIXED: Sea Control mission adds and drops targets continously
* FIXED: Mission Editor Assigned Units display issue
* FIXED: DB Viewer launch altitude errors
* FIXED: Submarines operating on the surface were not able to use radar/ESM/periscope at high speed
* FIXED: Right-clicking on unit, while DB viewer is already open, prevents the context menu from appearing
* FIXED: When re-selecting the same unit, don't re-load the DB viewer window if it's already open
* FIXED: Ship condition in dock not being retained between saves
* FIXED: Campaign description not being editable as HTML
* FIXED: "Campaign" window slow to show up when numerous campaign-save files are present
* FIXED: RTB/Called-off problem for helicopters landing on ships
* FIXED: Repeating POSSUB messages if sub has been destroyed but torpedoes are still present
* FIXED: SM-6 going autonomous is going dumb because it is targeted at a surface ship
* FIXED: Winchester/Shotgun check is not evaluating mount damage
* FIXED: #12303 - "Primary Stores for Loadout Not Available" message when changing loadouts, despite "Unlimited Base Magazines" feature enabled
* Tweaks to submarine dive/climb rates (they now partially depend on true-water speed, so e.g. a sub at high speed will rise faster)
* AI tweak: Do not re-check bingo state of members when evaluating slow-down due to Bingo
* UI tweak: Notify player (through message log) when sub forcefully dives due to threat
* UI tweak: Added "Filter-out" and "Mark Position" to the Contacts Tool-Strip
* UI tweaks to ORBAT window:
- Positioned Group/Mission to top of nodes.
- Added +/- keys to expand/collapse nodes
* [Lua] Added method to set the current scenario's date & time (ScenEdit_SetTime)
* [Lua] Added "GetLoadout" method
* [Lua] Added .hostFacility property to unit wrapper
* [Lua] You can now apply a delta template via SE_UpdateUnit (Example: ScenEdit_UpdateUnit({guid='2cd64757-1b66-4609-ad56-df41bee652e5',mode='delta',file='new.ini'}))
* [Lua] Added property "DesiredHeading" on Lua ActiveUnit wrapper and on AddUnit/SetUnit parameters (This solves the issue where static facilities placed via Lua will always rotate to North even if explicitly placed with another heading).
* [Lua] Added method GetBuildNumber that returns the current exe build version. Scen authors can use this info to alter Lua logic depending on feature availability.
* [Lua] Added method "SE_UpdateUnitCargo"
* SBR: Added any unit damage to the delta template.
* Allow player to manually force a sub to go over the wire-breakage speed when guiding torpedoes
* Various performance tweaks

* Includes four more submarine tutorials (2.1-2.4) by Apache85.

Hail to the development team!

Have I said recently how great you guys are?

Concur! Truly awesome!

Thanks a lot, great work

Missing 'points' at vertices in laid courses. They appear temporarily if the vertex is clicked, though.

Yes. Just noticed that. Was that intentional?

I don't think it is intentional.

Thanks for your continuing effort! Just one question: do these smaller updates contain any DB fixes or is it only the bigger v1.xx updates?

If there were any DB changes, it should be in the release notes.
But I would doubt there would be any DB updates in these interim releases unless something got really messed up in the latest DB update. The database updates come out a new version (473 is latest) of the database.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks.

First, Thanks for the great work!

I don’t understand this :

“ Added +/- keys to expand/collapse nodes”

Excellent, I await the Steam release.

and I am in agreement with Badlandz in that I don't know what that means ether.

Badlandz & HalfLifeExpert
I think you'll find that “Added +/- keys to expand/collapse nodes” refers to some of the GUI tweaks to the Order Of Battle screen.

Yes, the +/- is a quick way to collapse/expand the groups in the OOB screen. Just click in the window, use the key. If you use it outside the window, it zooms the map from memory.

Do we know if this has made it to Steam yet? Still showing 998.7 as of last night.

Edit: No, hasn't made it to Steam, I checked, and subs wouldn't cut the wires.

Installed this patch, and it shows 998.8, and you can cut the wires and take the sub deep. Got away from the Udaloy in the sub tutorial I was using to test. Well, after I let him close to 4 miles, and launched 4 torpedoes in his direction. I managed to outfox the first torpedo by clearing datum at flank speed lateral to the drop, and then just managed to quiet myself at the right time, and just about that time, the Udaloy sunk.

Whee! Usually I die about that point. [:D]
