Disclaimer: development builds are inherently unstable and may contain improvements that will be changed and adjusted before the stable release (as well as bugs), with less stability guarantees.

Phobos development build 48 is up!

Changes compared to build 47:

Migration info:

• IsSimpleDeployer units now obey deploying facing constraint even without deploying animation. To disable this, set DeployDir (defaults to [AudioVisual] -> DeployDir) to -1.
  
• Vertical=true projectiles now default to completely downwards initial trajectory/facing regardless of if their projectile image has Voxel=true or not. This behavior can be reverted by setting VerticalInitialFacing=false on projectile in rulesmd.ini.
  
• Vertical=true projectiles no longer move horizontally if fired by aircraft by default. To re-enable this behaviour set Vertical.AircraftFix=false on the projectile.
  
• Weapons with Airstrike=true on Warhead will now check target eligibility for airstrikes regardless of weapon slot. Use AirstrikeTargets=all on Primary airstrike weapon Warhead to restore previous behaviour.
  
• UseCenterCoordsWhenAttached has been replaced by enumeration key AttachedAnimPosition. Set AttachedAnimPosition=center to replicate effects of UseCenterCoordsWhenAttached=true.
  
• Units' LaserTrails will no longer lag behind by one frame, so it needs to be repositioned (Previously, units with faster speeds may need to be positioned further ahead).

Note: This was originally introduced in Build 44 but no migration notice for it was ever put up and the functionality got bugfixes in this build

• PowerUpNAnim is now used instead of the upgrade building's image file for upgrade animation if set. Note that displaying a damaged version will still require setting PowerUpNDamagedAnim explicitly in all cases, as the fallback to upgrade building image does not extend to it, nor would it be safe to add. PowersUpToLevel=-1 upgrades still do not work correctly PowerUpNAnim and such buildings should forgo using explicit upgrade animations.
