Vertical map features

v0.4.4 - Preview of buildings on grid

This is a preview release for testing the "buildings on grid" code - impacting building placement and pathfinding around buildings.

v0.4.3

This is a preview release before the big v0.5 update. I managed to get the GLTF asset pipeline sort of working quicker, so we're rolling with this. It actually features two very prominent updates.

Changes:

• All units are now rendered with animated 3D models instead of cubes
• The new horizons scanning collision avoidance code is out (#30)
• The map has some nice randomized look to it

Fixes:

• #35
• #33
• #28

What's Changed

v0.4.2

Performance improvements release.

No new features have been added, but the game should now work considerably better, especially with large numbers of units.

v0.4.1

Some small fixes to 0.4 after playtests with @AdiPol1359 and @nabijaczleweli

Fixes:

• Tooltips over command palette items are back
• Unit that have just been produced should be easier to select
• Fixed the issue where the units would flash in the top-left corner
• Fixed harvesting action when selected from the command palette
• Fixed UI crash that happened when a unit was killed between pointer-down and pointer-up of selection box

New features

• Tooltips now additionally show the construction/production time.
• The icon for attack is now two crossed swords instead of an axe to avoid confusion

v0.4

In this milestone I've added a couple of features that could be done before the unit collision revamp.

New features:

Fixes

• If multiple Harvesters are selected and issued a build command, only one will go
• The units doing collision avoidance should no longer keep moving indefinitely past the edge of the map
