Beta Patch 4 download (February 4,2016)
« on: February 04, 2016, 03:13:59 PM »
Welcome to Beta Patch 4.  This was built and released on February 4, 2016.

Test goals:
------------------
Test for stability.
Test for sound issues that show the infinite debug message.

Corrections/Updates:
---------------------------
Action: Fixed an issue with cloud shadows causing incorrect lighting in the Skin Viewer.
Action: Fixed an issue with alpha and bloom effect causing high bloom off from canopies.
Action: Fixed an issue where radios were not tuning correctly on entry.
Action: Other plane sounds no longer start loud at 400 yards when you are in a plane.
Action: The warning slider should now control the air raid and base under attacks warnings,
   NOTE: it helps a lot to change the section of code that is NOT commented out.
Action: The mouse button no longer fires if the mouse is in GUI mode.
Action: Fixed an issue with track sounds not playing after a stop.
Action: Added a debug line that will trap out sound issues of infinite sounds like the no track sounds.
Action: Fixed an issue with the the Bull dozer feature in the Terrain Editor.
Action: Fixed an issue which was causing the Terrain Editor and Film Viewer to "crash to desktop" (CTD) on exit.
Action: Sound now works in the Film Viewer. NOTE: Only new films will play your engine sound.
Action: Added sequential missions. These simply run in the order of lowest to highest start times and then start over when the last is finished.
    The start time is only used for it's sequence and the mission will load very shortly after the last mission ended.
    This can be set up in either the MissionPopulateFlags arena settings, or in the mission scheduling dialog.
Action: Fixed an issue where look up and look down did not work when zoomed and in while in instant view mode.
Action: Arena Tables can now be created with out passwords.
Action: You can no longer select field gunner as a drone type.
Action: Added an Air Spawn button to the Flight Dialog that places the spawn point at the first segment point.


Additional Information:
---------------------------
Use the ".psave filename" command to save your position in the terrain/world.  If you do not provide a file name, then file will be saved as "cmepos.txt" in the "settings" folder.  Thank you!
