Default Dangerdeep 0.3.0

Hi
After all these monthes, release 0.3.0 is ready, finally.
This latest version features a considerable amount of new features as well as tons of bug fixes. Amongst the new features, Dangerdeep now appears in full OpenGL2.0/GLSL1.1 goodness. All shaders were replaced by GLSL shaders. There are now 4 new uboat types, the type IIA, IIB, IIC, IID, with different skins. A new "Captain's cabin" screen, a new ship's log screen. A new Tribal class destroyer, with 5 skins. All models are now ready for in-game transformations. There are now per-pixel reflections. The text and fonts are now correct, with umlauts and special characters displayed correctly.
The night sky was improved, the periscope view now has a water splash/blur effect. The ocean shaders were improved, torpedos now have rotating propellers. Almost all models are now set for in-game transformations (rotating turrents, elevating guns, etc...).
Hall of fame works now. Code is now multithreaded, a new sound system was added in preparation of a new series of sound effects. Improved torpedo management screen, for specific uboats. Added a preliminary "torpedo-cam". Distance haze was improved, water now uses geo clipmaps. VBO and FBOs are now used, and much more, as well as tons of bugfixes.

For a detailed list of changes, please check the Changelog:
http://dangerdeep.cvs.sourceforge.ne...og?view=markup

Note that you need at least OpenGL 1.5 capable graphics, with OpenGL 2.0 the minimum for the high quality graphics mode.

Besides the sources (and data file), there's a debian package available, as well as a x86-32/64 linux installer, and a windows package/installer. Work is underway on intel OSX and ppc64 OSX packages, as well as FreeBSD ports (altough due to recent changes in FreeBSD, this might take a bit longer). There are also gentoo packages, and T2 and OpenSDE packages will follow. There was also added a basic manual, available in pdf, and djvu formats, as well as a dangerdeep_manual_src.zip.
This file has the "sources" of the manual, in sla format, the format of the opensource desktop publishing application "Scribus" ( http://www.scribus.net ). Since there's windows, OSX and linux binaries of Scribus, anyone can extend the manual with more detailed information, tips, tactics information, whatever you think might make sense in the manual. This might seem an unglorious and simple contribution, but it would be a tremendous help, so if there are any volunteers to refine the manual, feel free to do so, and/or contact us at the forums ( http://www.dangerdeep.net/forums/ ).

So, for the downloads, Download section is at http://dangerdeep.sourceforge.net/download.html

Some screenshots follow, altough you can check more screenshots at the gallery, at http://dangerdeep.sourceforge.net/gallery.html







That's pretty much it, if you find bugs, feel free to report the nasty critters at http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/f...ngerdeep-devel
or at the forums at http://www.dangerdeep.net/forums/

I wanted to say...I saw this on freshmeat and it got me very excited. Given the lack of support from UBI for SH4 and given the exceptional community of modders, I have a lot of hope for an open source, community developed sim. With an open source project like this, there is an opportunity for a truly mature simulator (not one rife with bugs locked in code that cannot or will never be fixed).

So...


Count me amongst the many enthusiastic fans of this project. I look forward to downloading it and giving a test drive.

Big props to whoever does your art guys. Those backgrounds are absolutely beautiful. And the ocean graphics are really getting there now

Hi
Thanks for the comments, it's great to see that people are enjoying our work

:Ahem: need to check that out, in the worst case, a 0.3.1 will be released soon, with another dosis of bugfixes

That's it, i might be a bit silent for a week or so, but after this release, we all need 1 week in a tropical island (with a steady supply of margheritas)

Nice work! I can really see it coming a rival in the near future to SH3, the vallina version, not GWX!

Nice!

If it goes on like that, this has overtaken SHIII in a few years!

and the best:
  • it is platform independent
  • open source
so you can see, linux is good for gaming, no need for ms windows!
