So I finally got around to finishing up my fog of war client feature. To use just checkout the latest CVS client and server and start the client with the command line: -sdl -fog For the moment the fog code only works with the sdl blitter. Some server cooperation is needed for this to work properly but it is possible to connect to an older server. The new CVS server now sends a newmap notification to the client when the player enters a new map if the client requested such a notification. Use Control-Shift-i to simuate this notification if playing on an older server. When playing on one of the cvs-11b servers I see in the metaserver list, a bug that was just fixed that sent too much info to the client makes itself obvious. With the fog code you basically get a sort of xray vision effect where it seems the player can see through walls and stuff. Mark, you should probably redo my server changes if you have some time, the change is very minor but I don't know the server code very well so I probably violated some coding standard or something. I didn't update the Protocol doc because of that. -Scott
