AI War:Current Post-8.000 Beta

Prerelease 8.002

(This isn't done yet, we're still working on it.)

Fixed a bug where at certain middle-high levels of zoom a wormhole would be drawn twice, with the second being in a spurious and variable visual location.
- Thanks to Toll for reporting.

A new settings option has been added to the graphics tab that allows for players to preload all images rather than having them load as the game progresses.
- Thanks to Aklyon and doctorfrog for inspiring this change.

A new Max Loading Threads settings option ahs been added to the graphics tab.
- Default 200. Setting this to progressively higher values will make more images/etc try to load from disk simultaneously. On some operating systems (like OSX), there are hard limits on how many threads can be running at a time. In those cases the limit is often 256, so going above 220 is probably not a great idea. For other operating systems, you may be able to crank this up and have better concurrent loading speeds.
- Previously the default was 140, but 200 should be safe for all OSes.

Since the upgrade to the new engine version, the game has been running with 2x antialiasing on. This may have been what caused compatibility issues with some (very very - 2001 era) old graphics cards and drivers.

Since the upgrade to the new engine version, the game has not been capturing fullscreen mode the same way on OSX. Fixed.
- Thanks to jerith for reporting.

A couple of our shader definitions were slightly different in AI War compared to our later games. Nothing major, but very slightly less efficient. This may have been a factor in some compatibilities with certain outdated linux drivers (fingers crossed).
