v0.0.0.7 - Hotfix 1

OpenLRR-specific Fixes:

• Fixed crash when teleporting up units while using higher Topdown LOD.

Optimisations, cursor clipping, mod support, and more!

See First Release for basic information on getting started with OpenLRR. Note that it's no longer required to set compatibility mode for OpenLRR.exe.

Please check out dgVoodoo v2.79.3 for a fix to the graphics freeze bug.

---

New Features:

• Cursor Clipping: The mouse cursor can be restricted to the game window area or game window + menu area. Press ALT while cursor clipping is active to temporarily disable clipping. Option can be changed on startup with the command line option: -clipcursor [=on|menu|off]. There is also an in-game option under: Options > Cursor Clipping.
• Added shortcut to follow the primary selected unit in top-down view.
• Added shortcut to speed up First-Person / Topdown FP unit movement (while held).
• Added shortcut to toggle laser tracker mode without having to click on the unit.
• Added Super Tool Store cheat: When enabled, the Tool Store will act as an all-land teleporter, generate power, and train any ability.
• Added graphics option to change the top-down LOD of Mini-Figures and Vehicles under: Options > Graphics > Topdown LOD.
• Improved Lego.cfg error reporting that will list the line number and file of the offending property.
• Added graphics option to use solid multi-selection box lines. This will improve performance when the drag selection box is drawing. The option can be found under: Options > Graphics > Transparent Multi-Select.
• Added option to hide tooltips, under: Options > Show Tooltips.

Changes:

• Topdown fog is now slightly clearer, and leaves more room between the camera and the ground before the fog starts.
• Reduced useless warnings that usually spammed the console. It's now safe to have warnings enabled by default.

OpenLRR-specific Fixes:

• Improved flexibility of config loading, many mods that were failing to load before (like Baz's Mod) will now load and run correctly.
• Fixed crash when teleporting up units with laser tracker weapons.
• Fixed crash with vehicles related to wheels.
• Fixed WallDestroyTime weapon stats failing to load.

Vanilla Fixes:

• Interface menu icon tooltips are now right-aligned, as was intended.
• Vector graphics drawing has been optimised again. Very few cases will actually tank your FPS. Most uses are now cached so that the game will only lag for the first frame that something is needed. Other uses have switched to rendering on a smaller surface so that it doesn't take as long to lock/unlock the pixel buffer. Other uses still have switched to using drawfill rather than pixel manipulation.

Removed Limits:

• Power path network block limit of 100 has been removed. You can now build bases as large as your heart desires without the power grid getting funky.

Bonus

OpenLRR_DrivingWithFollowUnit.mp4

Increase 3D and Radar Map resolution when scaling

See First Release for basic information on getting started with OpenLRR. Note that it's no longer required to set compatibility mode for OpenLRR.exe.

---

New Features:

• Higher scaling resolution support (windowed only): Using the -scale command will now increase the resolution that the 3D world displays at while maintaining nearest neighbour scaling for the interface.
• Improved vector graphics drawing: The game should no longer slow down to a crawl when displaying object info UIs or showing the radar map, but there still will be a small amount of lag.
• Increased allowed range of radar map zooming: You can now zoom in closer, and zoom out farther.
• Debug options to disable 2D drawing modules: Disable 2D vector graphics, font rendering, and or image rendering.

New Command Line Options:

Click for list of new command line options

Command	Description
-scale <number>	Changes the startup window scale and increases display resolution of 3D graphics and radar map.
-nnscale <number>	Changes the startup window scale (which can also be changed in Options), originally the -scale command.
-radarscale <number>	Changes scale at which radar map pixels are drawn. By default this is half of -scale rounded-up. Increasing this value will lower radar map resolution, but increase line thickness.

---

OpenLRR-specific Fixes:

• Window startup positioning now takes taskbar into account to avoid overlapping.

Vanilla Fixes:

• Some minor cleanup on memory leaks with Containers: Units will no longer cause reference Container leaks every time their activity changes.

True color support and command line options

See First Release for basic information on getting started with OpenLRR. Note that it's no longer required to set compatibility mode for OpenLRR.exe.

---

New Features:

• True color support: The game can now run in 32-bit colour mode!! For the most part, visuals are still the same, but some colours may look slightly more vibrant. To enable this, you must disable compatibility mode for OpenLRR.exe.
• Building placement arrow: A triangle arrow shows the rotation of a building when placing it. This is useful for placing Mining Lasers and Geological Centers, as it's hard to tell their rotation normally.
• Routing paths: Under debug options, you can now view routing paths for units, to see where they're going and how they plan to go there.
• Added debug overlay to show the first pool of water in a level (water as in the unfinished feature, not lakes).

New Cheats:

• Survey an entire level and show it all in the radar.
• Disable construction barrier requirements.
• Disable build costs requirements.
• Disable place-next-to-path requirements.
• Enable building on steep slopes.
• Disable oxygen consumption.
• Disable power consumption.

OpenLRR-specific Fixes:

• Fixed building rotation again so that the ToolStore in Driller Night! won't spawn 90° clockwise of where it should.
• Fixed ListSets throwing an error when reaching half-capacity instead of full capacity. This was most noticeable with reaching 2048 AITasks.
• Disabling free camera movement now clamps your camera position back into a valid range. You're camera is no longer locked when stuck in a position out of range.

Vanilla Fixes:

• Spamming the music on/off toggle will no longer crash when using the Music Fix dll.
• Music is properly stopped when using the debug key to instantly win the level.
• SFX volume can now be changed independent of Music volume, however Music volume will still affect the global volume of the program, just not vice-versa.
• Flic animations now render at a proper framerate, instead of incredibly fast on modern computers.
• ObjectStats are no longer overwritten by certain NERPs functions and vanilla debug cheats.
• Fixed starfield credits animation showing an assortment of RGB colours instead of white.
• Fixed main menu overlay animations playing too frequently (now back to an average of once every 16 seconds).
• NERPs Camera rotation and zoom functions now properly scale with framerate. This can be seen in the Moving Rock Raiders tutorial.

Known Bugs:

• OpenLRR will not start in true color mode when launching into fullscreen while using the -best command line option, it must be selected manually from the mode selection dialog.

Configurable keyboard shortcuts and cheats

See First Release for basic information on getting started with OpenLRR.

---

New Features:

• Added all remaining vanilla LRR icons to OpenLRR, each can be selected from the Options menu.
• Add Options > Logging: Individually configure which log levels are output to the console. Disabling Warning will speed up load times significantly.
• Implement #16 (partial): All in-game (non-front end) keybinds are now configurable via Settings/Shortcuts.cfg. The format for implementing these is kind of archaic, but it'll make do until better formats are introduced into OpenLRR.
• Emerge debug key can now also emerge slugs from Slimy Slug holes.

OpenLRR-specific Fixes:

• Fix #42: Queued SFX that play on level startup are properly cleaned before going to another level.
• Fix #48: Object counts are properly tracked again, tutorial levels relying on this won't break anymore.
• Debug keys 1 through 4 to change view and track objects are now disabled when debug keys are turned off.

Vanilla Fixes:

• Fix #45: CryDrain bug. Using laser beam no longer drains every single crystal.

New Bugs:

• Some building rotations will start off wrong when exposed in the level. Most notably, the ToolStore in Driller Night! is facing East.

OpenKamikaze.mp4

Multiple sound trigger and erosion debug tooltip fix

See First Release for basic information on getting started with OpenLRR.

---

OpenLRR-specific Fixes:

• Fix #40: Debug tooltips no longer crash with Very Fast erosion speeds.

Vanilla Fixes:

• Fix #41: Scene sound triggers no longer play twice (which became more noticeable after fixing random sound cues).

Random sound cue fix

See First Release for basic information on getting started with OpenLRR.

---

OpenLRR-specific Fixes:

• Fix #37: Sound cue groups now randomly play any sound from the group again. Previously only the first sound in the group would ever play - the exact opposite of vanilla's problem!

Introduced Bugs:

• Fixing the sound cue issue introduced a new bug where sometimes multiple sounds in a group may play at once (rather than just one playing). This can be noticed with the Rock Raiders slip SFX where both slip sounds seem to overlap.

First Release

Running requires, placing OpenLRR.exe and openlrr.dll in a working LRR install folder. This includes standard fixes needed to run LRR, such as:

• D3DRM.dll
• dgVoodoo/DDrawCompat
• Musix fix (optional)
• And applying the standard compatibility properties when using windowed mode:

Windowed compatibility properties:

• Reduced color mode
  [16-bit (65546) color       v ]

Windowed mode is recommended, as most of the features placed into the system menu are not easily accessible from fullscreen yet. Windowed mode is the default-selected option when the Mode Selection dialog opens.
