Update: Mar 10, 2019 @ 9:04am

Patch 1.6.0

This patch introduces a new galactic conquest - Pegasus Prelude- to the stable version of the mod.
Pegasus Prelude is a space-only GC that can be played as Ancients and Wraith 10.000 years before the Tau'ri first visited Pegasus. It depicts the rise of the Ancients, the war against the Wraith and, finally, their demise.
Furthermore, it greatly enhances the visuals of space battles: Not only are all ships and structures capable of casting shadows, we have also given our Goa'uld fleet a major overhaul by replacing nearly all of the existing models with new ones.
Lastly, some of our questionable English translations have been improved by community member Boriss for better readability and our AI got yet another big update allowing it to use the majority of unit abilities intelligently in battle.

### ART ###

- Added shadow meshes to ALL space units including the main factions, side factions starbases lvl 1-5, and space special structures (Resolves #2487)
- Replaced the biggest part of the Goa'uld fleet with new models and texture from the SGI team. Big thanks to them!
-- In particular, the following models have been replaced: Pyramid Ship, Old Hatak, New Hatak, System Flagship, Super Hatak
- Updated and improved the the textures for the Goa'uld starbase level 1-5, Artillery Hatak, the Anubisglider, Baal, and the Replicator Hatak
- Updated pause and battle-pending dialog
- Reduced font size on buttons of battle-pending dialog (I_ATTACK_MODE_CHOICE)
- Changed i_attack_mode_rollover to i_attack_mode_rollover_small in CommandbarComponents
- Added I_ATTACK_MODE_ROLLOVER_SMALL to Commandbar
- Added stun proxy to the Ancient Defense satellite so it has a visible stun effect when it is hit with the ion cannon of the Experimental Dart
- Updated icons for all new SGI Goa'uld ships including radar icons
- Improved icons for Selmak, Hammond and Caldwell
- Added updated Battle_summary.dds from community member White_Red_Dragons (Thanks!)
- Fixed planet name location in IDD_BATTLE_END_DIALOG and removed the two horizontal lines between heroes and units, as they are separated by the texture already
- Blackened the alpha channel of Wraith Dart normal map to reduce extreme light reflections

### CODE ###

General:
- Adding a custom AI for Pegasus Prelude

Pegasus Prelude

- Wraith campaign: Added text to Gonta mission that suggests taking out the Delphi engines and prevented AI retreat for the first 120 seconds of the battle
- Wraith campaign: Reduced playable area in Aesculetum mission
- Wraith campaign: Improvements for Athos mission
- Wraith campaign: Improvements for Orakis mission
- Wraith campaign: The last drawback problems ( Issue #2661)
-- Reduced delay between conquering of J, A or B and finale hint storylog triggering
-- Removed STORY_TEXT for the finale hint and instead made the story log pop up
-- Reduced delay between conquering all three planets and the Athos/Orakis story logs triggering
-- Changed Prereq of Athos Story Log to finale-root, so it doesn't break if the orakis log gets disabled.
-- Restructured the ending. Taking the three planets (Aesculetum, Jenev and Belkan) is now a separate mission, which can be failed by moving on to Orakis or Athos before completing the three other planets. Failing this will prevent the missions on Athos and Orakis to become available.
