Boson 0.6
June 11th, 2002 by keerfVersion 0.6 Real Time strategy game Boson has been released. According to the annoucement the code itself has had a complete rewrite. So there is a new set of features, bugs, and fixes. The major changes for this version are:
- auto-shoot: Defensive buildings automatically shoot at enemies when they are in range. Normal units do not do this yet.
- split views: you can split a display and play at several places on the map at once
- full network capability (please note that single player mode is quite boring without an AI)
- fog of war
- mineral/oil harvesting (experimental)
- fullscreen mode
- Map and scenario files are now XML based (was originally binary). All units can be configured using KConfig syntax
- music, sound and speech
- pathfinding (thanks to some excellent work by it’s hacker!)
- Most units actually have “sense”, e.g. if your Comsat station is destroyed your minimap will disappear.
