Update 01.065
Summary
17.Jan.2015
Communication has been added. More specifically, it is player-to-player and faction-to-faction chat with history. The player should be within the antenna’s range in order to successfully broadcast/receive the messages. Offline mode is also available - send a message to players who are out of range; in this case the message will be marked as 'not delivered' and will stay “pending” until the player gets into range. When sending messages to faction, it's enough to deliver the message to one member who will automatically forward it to the others. There's also broadcast which will immediately send a message to everybody within the antenna’s range. Additionally, the in-game programming has been improved. It's now possible to set block properties, such as light color, rotor velocity, limits, etc. Basically anything what is slider in terminal can be set by a script directly as value (list of available properties will be published soon). Also '.bat' file for creating new script mod has been added. This '.bat' file creates new Visual Studio project with references and example script in local mod folder (AppData\SpaceEngineers\Mods\).
