Minkata Update 2020.06.23 (Big News!)

[Christian Walther]

I notice that the KI is missing the latest update that is on MOULa: The chat text is tiny (in 4K resolution) and distorted, and in the Big KI, there are x-raying fringes around some text. As things were until (I think) the last update to MOULa. So if this were to be installed on MOULa as-is, that would be a regression.

I got the last pod today - Payiferen. The journey gate appears in the lower level just fine, but the spiral was behind the visuals in the windows. It did not hamper getting to the bahro cave, but I don't remember that happening in moula that way...........just curious. I think I should push in my book in moula and wait for the pod to age again and see if it does the same.


Reran the Payiferen Pod and the Journey Gate appears normal, I was not able to reproduce the visual as before, perhaps a glitch in my system. Although my GeForce GTX 1060 6GB has never glitched before.

I have long had the suspicion that the light beam animation in Payiferen was slowly running out of sync with the portal over the years, but never did any precise measurements (or source code comparisons), and haven’t visited the pod for a while (probably years) now. That should affect MOULa and Minkata equally though. Might be worth a check. (But why would you have to push in the book for that?)

[John-Patrick]

I want it to be a valid test and get a screen shot. All things being equal.

I completed the pod "donuts" in the past month with a new avvie, as a check, and didn't notice anything odd, though the time of the portal appearing is currently six minutes earlier than the prediction from the clock I use (uru-reallife). I wasn't measuring the position of the light beams, though.

Do you believe we've dropped a fix? Or that this may be related to either the update of PhysX from 2.6.0 to 2.6.4, or the change of build tools from VS2003 to VS2010? I don't recall any changes since the last MOULa build that related to text rendering.

I believe CW is referring to these fixes, originally posted here.

I first noticed the change in text size around June 11th

It might have happened a few days earlier but I assumed that it was associated with a May 19th Build adjustment. At each new Build. I regularly redo all the CYAN created in-game Marker Missions plus one or two testing ones. They report in the same size as chat text so I would have immediately noticed the smaller text and reported it.

[Christian Walther]

Hoikas is correct. It’s not related to code changes, it’s updated PRPs.

I’d been cautious about taking altered assets in the past, but with the new rules this seems reasonable. I’ll add them during the next upgrade (this afternoon?)
