Build 457 – New chat window + Autoperformance

Here’s what I worked on today, playable now in Build 457:

• New chat window!  Messages will show up only when there is a new one, and fade out.  Or, roll over / press enter to see the chat history.

• If there are more than 5 players connected, quit/join messages will not be shown.
• Death notifications are now only shown if you are near the player in question.
• Perfomance will now autoadjust, toggling off features if the game is running slower than 30FPS (this can be overridden in options)

• Town Expansion – cost to expand towns are now based on Plat instead of Gold
• Town Expansion – towns can be expanded even larger (max 40×40 regions (woah))
