Trosnoth 1.12.0 released!

[Joshua Bartlett]

Hi everyone,

I'm pleased to announce the release of Trosnoth version 1.12.0. This is the version that we played on Ubertweak Summer 2018, with bugfixes.

Changes since 1.11.0:

• Added indicator lights around orbs to show the ownership status of surrounding zones.
• Added box on minimap showing current view area.
• Added gauge to all ghosts to show how close they are to respawning.
• Adjusted item costs based on actual usage in a tournament.
• Display more timing info when timing info is enabled.
• Trosnoth server can now run multiple arenas, each of which runs in its own process. Clients have the option of which arena to join.
• Updates to server web interface, including admin controls to pause and resume games, reset to lobby, and enable/disable shooting and zone caps for each team.
• Added new levels: Cat Among Pigeons, Hunted, Free for All, Orb Chase.
• In the lobby, players can vote for the next level to play from the top menu.
• Spectators are no longer prompted to join the game every time the map resets.
• When joining a game, the join screen now only shows the teams allowed by the current level.
• Fixed and updated server game record displays, including updating player score calculation, and fixing record of player teams.
• Fixed Trosball bug where sometimes the ball would start with a player rather than starting in the centre.
• Fixed bug in chat display that caused issues after a player had received 100 chat messages.
• Fixed some bugs in bots.
• Updated logging to show asctime rather than milliseconds since startup.
• Other minor bug fixes.
  

As always, releases can be downloaded from http://trosnoth.org/download

On Ubertweak Summer, we played a successful 3-a-side tournament with some quite competitive teams. A team of three RangerBots still beat the best team of 3 humans we had in the tournament, but it was a close thing.
