L3DT release 2.3a

Released on the 16th of July, 2005 (see announcement)

• User interface
  • Users can store and recall preferred settings in most wizard dialogs using the presets bar.
  • The wizard dialogs now support display DPIs other than 96dpi (normal).
  • Added a link to off-line documentation in the help menu.
• Light mapping
  • The transmission coefficients for water surfaces are now calculated using the Fresnel equations, giving physically accurate elevation angle dependence (see water effects|algorithms page).
• Bug fixes
  • Fixed map display where the map didn't resize when the window was resized (only happened during calculations).
  • Fixed water mapping routine where odd-numbered side-lengths were mismanaged.
  • Fixed perlin generator where non-multiple-of-64 side-lengths were mismanaged.
  • Fixed 'import design map' wizard bug that prevented the generation of mosaic maps.
  • Fixed 'select heightfield algorithms' wizard bug (selection of algorithm from list after hitting the '« prev.' button was buggy).
  • Fixed L3DTVi2 compatibility with new ATI cards that support OpenGL 2.0.
• Installer
  • Built new installer using the NullSoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS).
  • Included L3DTVi2 and documentation in the installer package.
