Dune Dynasty v1.6.1
"Now three operating systems fight for control of Dune."
Changes:
-
Provide macOS package:
- Multiplayer-crossplay between Windows, Linux and Mac should be possible.
- Only Intel x86_64 is supported.
(See this fork for a Apple M1 Arm executable of v1.5.7.)
-
Add new gameplay enhancement option for consistent directional attack damage. (thanks @gerwin!):
- More info on this can be found in this forum post as well as the Dune II Insider's Guide (on page 279).
- Option is named "Consistent directional damage" in the in-game gameplay options and "attack_dir_consistency" in config.
- This enhancement is disabled by default.
- It is always enabled in multiplayer for balancing reasons.
-
Restore autoplay of introduction video on launch and add option to disable it:
- Option is named "Skip introduction video" in the in-game gameplay options and "skip_introduction" in config.
- This option is disabled by default.
-
Further fixes and improvements:
- Layout schematic of structures is now also displayed on high sidebar scales.
- Size of multiplayer chat is now consistent on all resolutions.
- Fixed Atreides superweapon-Fremen attacking Atreides in multiplayer.
Since Fremen are their own faction in multiplayer (non-allied with Atreides),
the Atreides palace will now spawn controllable Atreides troopers instead of Fremen.
