Unofficial pre-playtest 20190203

[Deathpoint]

What I detected in several games now is that the Artillery and V2 of the bots are shooting at non-more existing buildings... they are attacking that as long as they get attacked back (means attack to V2/Artillery)

Not sure whether this is a feature or a bug

Btw just noticed that the year in topic is wrong

I have created a new build with a bunch of fixes and a couple of new features compared with the last test:

• Fixed queued orders not working for aircraft/helicopters
• Fixed unit stance UI glitch when capturing vehicles
• Fixed crash when C4ing an iron curtained building
• Fixed a rare crash that could occur when attacking
• Fixed force-fire against the ground not working properly for turreted units
• Fixed turreted units attacking enemies when in the Hold Fire or Return Fire stances
• Fixed Monster Tank Madness mission
• Fixed Engineers/spies/Tanya/etc not being able to target buildings under the fog
• Unified volume level across the different music tracks in RA and TD

We had a productive weekend merging PRs, so this build is directly based on the current state for the next playtest, with no other changes.

Test builds can be downloaded from this GitHub milestone, which, like the first, will disappear once the playtest comes out.

This build completely replaces the logic that controls actors entering other actors, so be on the lookout for strange behaviour with transports, engineers, spies, Tanya etc.

Sorry, at the moment I don't have time to test it
So hopefully you are not "worried" or something negative else if no one replys here?

What do you mean with "Fixed queued orders not working for aircraft/helicopters"? You mean the Build-stuff with Ctrl+Click?

What did I do?
I tried to attack with my MIGs a cruiser on sea.
I saw him, my planes were above him.

Thanks for the report Deathpoint!

Luckily that crash is already known, plus another one when starting games on certain maps with the explored map option enabled.
Both should be fixed in the next (proper) playtest build, which should be out tomorrow if all goes well.

[Deathpoint]

okay, I will try another few games

[Deathpoint]

unfortunately I didn't find any other bug
On the other hand: didn't find any bugs

Playtest 20190209 is now available, so further discussion should take place in the playtest discussion thread.
