Signal Simulator
About difficulty of the game
I hope it will please all of you :)
Steam Winter Sale
Update 1.5.3
- While rotating the antenna signal strenght indicator will update also after the azimuth. It will not wait until the whole process is finished. I know there is some frustration, but updating it in real time will make the coordinate detection irrelevant.
FIXES
- Snow overlay missing around the cart
OTHER
- Sun shaft optimizations
Update 1.5.2
- New light system
- Baked lights are replaced with realtime lights
- New more accurate shadows
- Light switches where you can disable and enable lights in the observatory
CHANGES
- Solar panel recharge will work based on the day of the day/nights circle. Before it was split between 15 - 45 minute day and 46-14 minute night. Now is completely calculate by the sun and sun intensity. On longer days there will be more time to recharge.
- Removes the flashlight from the desk, misleading players that it is pickable. It stays as default and can be configured in Controls.
FIX :
- Database font
- Shader specularity on some materials
- Strenght Detector text update and signal video update. Before it was updating when the antenna passing through the signal and you didn't need to check the coordinates.
- Observatory geometry issues
- Scanner satelite image disapearing in some cases
- Light bleach, causing the lights to pass through the walls.
Signal Simulator Update 1.5 Trailer
Update 1.5.1 is Live
CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS
- New sound when walking on the snow
- Improved Loading Screen
- Control option for the flashlight. Now you have a flashlight as default.
- Observatory audio will be muted outside the observatory.
- Information monitor will display new coordinates when the start rotation button is pressed. Only the control panel will be refreshed when there are any coordinate changes
- Numbers on the dish platforms showing their associated number.
- Increased Text size of Signal Strength
- Change texture text from Coordinates Detected to Frequency Locked
- Save current volume for all systems
- Save Server Temperatures
- Save if Server Freezes or not
- Change the Event signal gen, according to new scanning system
- Right Mouse button can be used as 'USE' as default
- Change name Track Freq to Auto Scanning
- Small UI change of the laptop UI / text size , background , etc
- Controller Button A : Flashlight
New antenna models
- SCANNING
- Changes the way a signal was generated. Now when scanning an anomaly will show on an improvised map, detected this map will gives you and anomaly to detect. Once analyzed it will generate a trash signal, or a normal signal to detect with the antennas. The chance of a signal to be generated is 33%. Now you won't need to wait for a signal, but you will have to work a little to get one.
- ANTENNA CALIBRATION
When the azimuth or elevation calibration error is more than 10 or lower than -10 you will need to calibrate the antenna or the antenna detection will drop with -5%. To do that set the Antena Azimuth to 0 and go to the upper platform of the antenna. There you will find a Calibration control panel. Set the azimuth and evevation close to 0 and press calibrate button. This will calibrate the antenna.
Calibratio error is generated while the antenna is movind.
- Calibration Control on every antenna
- Generate Calibration Error when antenna moves
- Set Calibration Penalty for antenna detection if calibration error is more than 10 or less than -10
- New calibration control panel placed on the upper antenna platform - Use it to calibrate the antenna if needed.
- WEATHER
- Day Night circle based on month/day, etc
- Thunders and lightnings when raining
- New rain effect
- Snow and snow coverage
- Temperature generation based on the month of the game.
- Volumetric clouds
- Volumetric fog
- New sunshafts based on the fog, clouds and sun
- Transition between Snow and Rain
- Transition Between light clouds, heavy clouds and clear sky
- New ambient sound at night when it is cold
- New types of weather when its sunny
- MENU
- Option for Monitor Flickering in Gameplay
- Graphic Options for Weather Effects
- Graphic Options for Vollumetric effects
- Improved Loading Screen
- Option to hide Tips for the game.
- Option to hide UI for the game
- Controls option for the flashlight
TERMINAL
- SetAzimuth and SetElevation Comand in the terminal. Now you can set custom coordinates for the antennas.
- New command Service "Set Horizontal Coordinate to 0"
- StartRotation - to start antenna rotation
- StopRotation - stop antenna rotation
- Remove Set Averate, Set Min , Set Max from terminal - not supported with the new way of detecting a signal
- Remove Track Freck from terminal
- Calibration Command - Gives information about Antenna Calibration Error
FIXES:
- Terminal extra line draw on exit
- Tracking Frequencies in some cases misses the signal
- Laptop UI
- Flashlight can't be enabled in some cases
- Rotating Planet visuals on the monitors
- Tech Calculation resources and prices when buying less than 10 units
