Update 01.131 - Improved HUD Markers & Voxel Optimizations

Looks like another good update. The GPS tags in my latest world have just hit the point of unusability. Timing couldn't be better

 

Ty for the update! i'll try as soon as possible!

 

UI changes are great. Voxel optimization is noticeable. Entering/leaving cockpit sound is good.

Bugs:
- Drill turn on/ff sound is too high.
- Light is blinking in fighter cockpit.

Issues:
Crosshair is now disabled if I press TAB. But it was useful in fights. Because UI covers the target sometimes and removing UI makes target clear:

 

Update! \o/

EDIT: Pretty much everything on this update is perfect :O The HUD stuff is awesome and there are so many fixes - also, DAMN these particle effects look sweet :3

 

Just fucking awesome!!! =)

 

Voxel optimization? I'm digging it.

WIP particle effects look awesome.

Those new particles... we must have them.

 

What improvements were made to the programming block? i didn't see any details in the change list.... I am assuming stability?

 

Nice update, thanks keen!

Edit: Whoa, nice teaser

 

Not first... yet again!!! I need a new hobby

 

Ah f***yes, the HUD improvement is great. I had to disable my Hud to prevent myself from getting eye cancer. Well, no more! Thanks guys!

 

Good, now I don't have to modify space master

 

cool ... got to be an improvement on the HUD front

 

Thanks guys, great update.
My first though to the signals thing. The idea is great and makes it way better.
Now, I suggest that the mixed signals get grouped under the strongest signal.
So, if I have a base there with an antenna and there are 5 ships landed there, the Base Antenna should show up as the Main Signal with it's usual name.
You could indicate the presence of multiple signals under that one header with an icon.

The problem is that Navigation would get kinda hard if you have 5 signal groups around you, but you don't know what group symbolises what.

 

Oh, that's ONE HELL of a great addition! Beacon and Antenna clutter were a nightmare, really glad to see this one taken care off.
Immediate feedback, though: navigating could be made easier if the Cluster Mix would start labelling the individual markers when focussing on it long enough; if i was a Survivalist and had my only source of Ice (i know, i know, it's just an example) in one particular cluster while i have five different clusters to look at i'd need the GPS system to know where i get my Oxygen-fix. Just a quality of life-thing, really, but i see potential for an anti-frustration feature here.

@Xocliw i appreciate the lack of Cringe. Liking the quote-idea.

 

Great update and those new particles look sweet! Cant wait for them and first person point of view improvements!

 

OMG best patch note!

 

Hooray for more stability updates!
Also, I can't wait to use that new SpaceMaster feature

 

This is a great update, and those new particle effects look very good. It makes me wonder if explosions will exert force on large physics objects once they are implemented.

 

Great to see some more fixes, and improvements for the Programmable block! Looking forward to seeing some more additions in the coming weeks!

New particles might be directed by Michael Bay

 

Looks like this update did help quite a bit with the performance issues, Thank You.

Edit: those hud improvements are awesome too btw!

 

That teaser...those particle effects...sexy!

 

Interesting idea for helping to reduce antenna/waypoint clutter. Would have never thought of that. As for a suggestion for reducing clutter going forward, could we maybe implement folders in the GPS menu with custom colors/icons? This way, the visibility property of entire groups of waypoints could be toggled at once.

One more request. I wish planets could be named, even if its in the .xml file. If the name is left empty, nothing changes. If a player adds a string inside the tag, the planet will display a waypoint to everyone on the server with the planet's name.

 

awesome update, just bought that awesome mug. all hail the mug, drink the mug!

 

Great update and awesome looking effects!! Explosions are pretty dull to be honest... that much needed impact visual would be very nice

 

Best update in a long time. Not that the others were bad...this one is just the best! And those particle effects are AWESOME! Space Engineers needed big explosions...big time! Please include a "reactor going critical", please include a "reactor going critical", please inc..... Better yet if there was a "countdown to going critical" aspect as well, where you had to rush to the reactor and intervene in somewhere before it went. Oooo, that'd be fun.
