На форуме ariane4ever 11 мая была выложена новая версия NewDark. Это неофциальный/полуофициальный релиз. Автор данной версии уже не Le Corbeau, а некий Thorne. Неизвестно, кто скрывается под этим именем, но список изменений довольно внушительный.

Как я понимаю, в данной версии была также решена проблема с микролагами. У кого она присутствовала, можете протестировать.

[Zontik]

Быстренько пробежался по списку, ничего революционного не обнаружил. В основном похоже на уборку после ремонта. Дело хорошее, но у уборщика нет лицензии, а вода для мытья пола взята из неизвестного источника. Воздержусь пока.

[Force]

Шикарная новость, спасибо!

Поставил, как раз затестирую AlternaCrystallis 2

[Silentor]

Распаковал две папки в Т2. Версия стала с 1.26 на 1.28
Но проблема с большими режимами не ушла.
На мониторе 5:4 1280х1024 даёт интерфейс 4х3, но без сглаженных контуров картинки, шрифтов. И в игре диапазон, хоть и не очень заметно, но на 4:3 растянутый.
В режиме 4:3 1280х960 интерфейс заполняет весь экран и в игре также.
В интерфейсе сглаженности тоже нет.
Только в режиме 16:10 всё в рамках и гладко в меню.
То есть в движке, расширяя режимы, "Ле Корбю" не докрутил.

А что значит:

- добавлены переменные конфигурации "player_camera_limit_x", "player_camera_limit_y" и "player_camera_limit_z" для
указания пределов угла камеры игрока

Может это поможет? Или на ТТЛГ спросить?

Забавно:

- DromEd will no longer stop working after 03:14:07 on Tuesday, 19 January 2038

Планировалось отключить редактор через сорок лет? ))

Планировалось отключить редактор через сорок лет?

Скорее, это что-то из разряда "Проблемы-2000" или "640 Кб хватит всем".

[Chuzhoi]

Скорее, это что-то из разряда "Проблемы-2000" или "640 Кб хватит всем".

Это самая настоящая проблема 2038 года.

[Silentor]

Вот нашёл, что для сглаженности надо этот параметр активировать.
Зачем его по умолчанию закрыли?

; force scaled menu and 2D overlay graphics to always use bilinear filtering, even when scaled an even multiple
; (smoothness/fuzziness vs pixel perfectness)
d3d_disp_force_filter_scale2d

Удержать 4:3 на мониторе 5:4 смог только с опцией масштабирование в GPU

А отдельное изменение вертикального поля обзора FOV похоже не предвидится.

Вышел хотфикс от 15.05.2025.

• added "run_sys_wait" DromEd command for running system commands and waiting on the result (Thanks, Jayrude!)
• fixed regression involving toggle crouch failing to function when not bound to a standard keyboard key. The new behavior is now controlled by the opt-in "crouch_norepeat" bind variable (Thanks, Taffingtaffer!)
• fixed regression involving some translating door setups being incompatible with the relevant fix. The translating door blocking fix is now controlled by by the opt-in "trans_door_block_fix" configuration variable (Thanks, FenPhoenix and vfig!)
• fixed an original bug that caused the player head speed to not be reset when unequipping the sword while charged (Thanks, FenPhoenix and vfig!)

Glypher, я так и не понял, в 1.28 кол-во сейвов увеличено до ста или нет? У меня не работает..
