    • int GetOriginalLobbyTeam(int) on playerresource
    • couriers are now CDOTA_Unit_Courier, with bool UpgradeToFlyingCourier()
    • AddExperience now has 2 floats instead of 1
    • bool CanEntityBeSeenByMyTeam(handle) on NPC
    • float Attribute_GetFloatValue(string, float)
      Get float value for an entity attribute.
    • float Attribute_GetIntValue(string, int)
      Get int value for an entity attribute.
    • void Attribute_SetFloatValue(string, float)
      Set float value for an entity attribute.
    • void Attribute_SetIntValue(string, int)
      Set int value for an entity attribute.

      Compute the closest point on the OBB of an entity.
    • float CalcDistanceBetweenEntityOBB(handle, handle)
      Compute the distance between two entity OBB.
      A negative return value indicates an input error.
      A return value of zero indicates that the OBBs are overlapping.


    More experimenting with these is required.

    SinZ is going through the Flash UI changes

    For anyone that cares, here is the flash dump diff: http://renol.moddota.com/modrenol/gameui2_diff2.txt

    Perry also made a diff file: http://yrrep.me/dota/diff-6.83.htm

    Issues found so far:

    • Precache rules changed somehow and things that were working aren't showing.

    • Color Render on Hammer placed units doesn't seem to be working - ingame take

    • Custom sounds might have changed syntax, debugging http://hastebin.com/udiluyocom.avrasm

      Fix for broken sounds: replace every update_operator by reference_operator in your vsdevts file and recompile

    • The new Material Transition doesn't seem to work, Layer either. What is an override material?

    • Desert Tileset doesn't seem to be Blend-able with the paint tool. Example

      I applied blend over the line where the architecture meets the desert tileset and it only painted the arch

    • Maybe not important but when building my map in Hammer, I got a bunch of these Warnings: http://hastebin.com/izovetudax.coffee

    • Creature AttachWearables with the new Tiny cosmetic parts doesn't autoupdate with the model - - using a tiny03 unit with the 493 to 496 cosmetics will result in this: http://puu.sh/dzZbY/3063fdd265.jpg
