Airships: Conquer the Skies changes
After several months of poking away at things, here's a large bugfix update, plus some new features for modders:
Changes / Features
Unilaterally cancelling receiving tribute now costs you reputation.
Per-ship AI control button.
Removed Vlambeer Mode in the settings because I needed the vertical space.
Fixes
Diplomacy desync fix.
Fixed tentacle stat display bug.
Boarders stay ready in their quarters rather than doubling up as guards.
Prettier em dashes, making the game ready for the Exciting AI Future.
Slightly faster tentacle performance.
Better scroll bar and chat performance.
Provoking an age of unrest from the industrial revolution now triggers the OutrageOverFlowException achievement.
Better tech screen layouting.
No longer showing that background parchment with the spider on when you're in arachnophobia mode.
No longer showing pointless AI control button during replays.
Medals for the recently introduced new charges now have names.
Removed some cyrillic letters from ship files that were causing crashes on Arch Linux.
For Modders
Data loading now deals with removes properly. You can remove things with dependencies as long as you also remove the dependencies.
Better targeting logic for non-flying crew shooting at ships.
Added numShots parameter for CrewType.
Resource regen for modules using ammoRegenerationEvery, repairRegenerationEvery, coalRegenerationEvery, amd waterRegenerationEvery to specify regenerating one resource unit every x milliseconds.
Added requiresNoCoast flag to make a city upgrade only available to non-coastal cities.
New ConstructionName system replacing the old naming system for airships, landships, and buildings. Names can now be modded, and can be tied to specific AI personalities and heraldic charges.
Edit: Version 1.2.9.4 caused a bunch of mods to stop working. I've now released version 1.2.9.5 which should fix this problem.
