George has released the next alpha for 2.0.

(Note, you will need to use this download link rather than the auto-update feature if you are on version 1.9.2, as 1.9.2 will not update to an unstable version, only the next stable version)

This version is mainly bugfixes for 2.0 Alpha 1. Patchnotes for 2.0 Alpha 1 can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=9167

Changes:
  • Added special flavor text if kronosaurus destroys itself
  • Default difficulty on a *new installation* of the game is now 'Normal' (2x damage dealt to enemies, 1/2x damage received from enemies). Previously it was 'Story' (10x damage dealt to enemies, 1/10x damage received from enemies). Previous installations will use whatever setting was last used.
Fixes:
  • Projectiles would sometimes detonate away from their actual location. Detonation could also be extremely premature. Fixed a bug and also adjusted a default value to use the previously bugged behavior instead of the intended but very different behavior that takes into account target sprite size.
  • Single fragments with tracking would be jittered away from their intended direction of travel. This nolonger happens.
  • Single fragment with directional fragmentation would not respect the directional fragmentation settings
  • Setting some values to "0" in XML that accept diceroll or range notation (ex, 1-10 or 2d6+4) result in defaults being inappropriately applied instead of being treated as "0"
  • Removed an extra quotation mark from some mission text
  • Fixed a comment in the unid compatibility library that specified replacement use of an obsolete unid with itself. It now specifies the correct up-to-date unid to use instead.
