ATG Signals

8.1.4

ADDED
- Objective awareness gated on carried kit - a receiver and a data network reaching a static antenna. Objective markers draw on a device screen and never on the paper map.
- Command as a contact, with unprompted texts when an objective lands, completes, fails or a position is lost.
- The Game Master's Command action: message every online player, or answer as Command.
- The briefing Inspect action on the handset.
- Contacts, the phonebook and the chat panel, with a per-character contact book.
- A coordinate placeholder in GPRS text.
- Camo variants for the relay case and the relay backpack.
- A Gate Objectives setting.
- A Messages tab on the ATAK, with contacts down one side and that contact's history down the other. The ATAK is a text device in its own right.
- Loud, quiet, vibrate and silent alert modes, set per device and separately for messages and for objective reports, from the corner of the Messages tab and kept in the player's own settings. A device with no controls of its own stays at full volume.
- The tablet and the ATAK have alert sounds of their own, with HargLz's text and vibrate samples, and a bystander hears the sound of the device that alerted.
- The ATAK takes its own GPS fix and team picture, on a slower poll.
- The display's brightness control in the Messages tab's stepping.

CHANGED
- A new SMS alert tone in place of the morse tone.
- Reworked relay backpack and deployed relay models, and a new GPRS inspect pose.
- The GPRS screen window and its text wrapping.
- Voice coverage models direct delivery as well as relay, so reach is no longer understated.
- A display shows objectives whether or not the gate is switched on.
- A placed marker is re-issued when it moves, so a device screen follows it.
- The satellite charge figures and the log level are withheld from clients, who set their own log level.
- The volume icons on the device screens carry a stroke.

FIXED
- Sharing a number while possessing an AI no longer files that AI into your own contacts.
- Deployed relays no longer disappear.
- A relay backpack is treated as a radio.
- Built antennas show.
- PRR is on by default.
- The contacts menu is usable on console.
- The relay pack fits in a car.
- A handheld lies flat when it is put down.
- The military tablet no longer conflicts between players.
- The four device screens no longer use a font that ships with RHS, which this mod does not depend on.
- Relays on the viewer's own data chain are no longer dropped from the signals map.

8.1.3

ADDED

- A handset chirps where it is carried when a message lands, and can be overheard
- Every character has a contact book of its own, including the ones the world runs

CHANGED

- A Game Master possessing a character reads and writes that character's contacts
- A character the world runs holds only numbers handed to it, never its faction
- New relay backpack and GPRS handset models, materials and inspect animations

FIXED

- Sharing a number while possessing filed that character into your own contacts

8.1.2

CHANGED

- A data band link runs one way and is measured at the set that transmits
- A relay you can no longer hear greys and fades at its last known point
- A mast or antenna stays on the map whether or not you can hear it
- Every drawn circle is now an honest outer bound to within five metres

FIXED

- A relay did not carry a player whose own radio could not reach back
- A ring could be coloured for a link while drawn short of it
- NO SIGNAL was reported to somebody receiving a position over a direct link

8.1.1

FIXED
- Server commands such as #login and #vote were refused while the text gate was on

8.1.0

ADDED
- A text handset carrying typed messages between two contacts, off the position network
- Contacts are everybody on your own side, plus any number handed to you in person
- Placed markers are held on the server and sent only where the network reaches
- A marker drawn on the paper map stays on paper and reaches nobody
- Device screens can name the player a marker reports
- A radio can state how far it carries the position picture, apart from its speech range

CHANGED
- Reading the network and relaying for it are now separate declarations on a device
- A relay built from an engineer truck now finds its own radio
- Settings move to Configs/ATG/Signals

REMOVED
- The data band range table, replaced by a single ceiling for radios that state nothing
