Hello. I read the OP. It had a link to 35 pages of developer info going back a few years. TL;DR. Is there anyway to get a summary of what this patch does and what you have changed with sfcop with this patch? Thanks.

What we changed?
Here is a new change:

Ok... i think i finished the work on the sprites.q3 !
At least what we had in mind:
   - New AMD C assets;
   - The weapon arcs that were missing;
   - A completely new feature that required some massive work, most of it coded, the planets hardpoints!
   - And added a cosmetic lowetBottom panel, to each race, to make it smoother.
All the new bitmaps were made by me. =)

So, here it is, a screenshot of how all the 9 race UI's looks now, when targeting a planet...

change log for upcoming 2.564: http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163394152.msg1123055853.html#msg1123055853

2.563 is an HD/gamespy patch. It also fixed various bugs: Mirak Hit&Run pause, OL Fusion range, UI errors, etc. More or less all the bugs I could fix in Community Edition were fixed in one of the 2.56# patches for OP. It also adds many mechanical variables for mods, configurable through the SFC_Editor.

Is there a discussion thread for this anywhere else?

Can I patch this over EAW or are they incompatible??

[Javora]

Yeah they are incompatible, you need the 2563 EAW patch which should be out soon if not already.

The only unofficial patch for EAW is 2.037. It updates the 2.036 exe, Q3, and txt files to permit HD resolutions and fix bugs.

CE's 2.679 cannot work with EAW. It only works as a replacement for 2.670 Starfleet2CE.exe.

The SFC2OP 2564 team casually adding a new feature to the recent patch in 2 afternoons.
A level of customization never seen before.
Literally thousands of ships can be added to the shiplist now.

I got the SFC OP 2563 patch working in Linux UbuntuMate 16.04 WINE3.  Had to set X11 display to 16bit color depth. If anyone else on Linux is having a problem with the HD patch, what I did should work on any Ubuntu based distro.  I will do a video on setting X11 to 16bit color depth if requested
