Sorry LCS, I had to edit your post a bit because the giant code block was breaking the main page on the fixed lavaBlue theme.
  • There is now a replay auto-save feature in the options menu. Replays are automatically saved to the "replay" folder.
  • The game is now automatically saved in the event of a potential disconnect. These saved games are placed in the "save" folder.
  • Player color selection can now be limited by the number of players in the game using an option in the "Advanced Options" screen during game.
  • creation.
  • Added an option to always show unit and building health bars.
  • You can now enable and disable the display of minimap signals from players and other observers using chat commands: /showminimapsignals and /hideminimapsignals.
  • Added a new in-game cheat "maxfps" to limit the maximum frame rate to the given number. Example: "maxfps 30" will set the maximum frame rate to 30 FPS.
