Totem Arts Staff yosh56 Posted September 30, 2015 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted September 30, 2015 Well that took a good second. Almost stopped... but eventually kept working on it. As for an ETA .... don't ask. 5004 Changelist: Features: +Added player vote to ban a player from using proximity mines. +Added RCON command to ban a player from using proximity mines +Added Day/Night versions of Field, Mesa_II, and Canyon. UI: +Added Mine counter to cross-hair when Proximity mines are selected Building armour now displays in the scoreboard/pause menu scoreboard as a light blue bar that is drawn over the building's health. -- Icons at the bottom of the screen now use building armour(when it is enabled) to determine whether the icon is to be red or not. They turn red whenever armor is depleted, meaning the building is susceptible to permanent damage. -- Building/Armour bar for building armour changed on target box Beacon deployment and Building destruction messages now display mid/upper screen (ala commander mod) Surrender vote now uses Havoc/Sakura taunts instead of giving a Mission Accomplished/Failed message. Bug Fixes: -Fixed a bug where being on a team that last their vehicle building, having an airdrop ready, then switching teams would make your first vehicle purchase on the other team cost double. -Fixed bug where pressing a number on the Vehicle menu would kick you out of it whether or not you could actually purchase the vehicle +Fixed Purchase system's flash class not allowing you to buy things if you had exact credits. -EMP Grenades should now work more reliably and not randomly stop disarming. -Turrets no longer fire at passengers in air vehicles -Air-Drops now update correctly for players that just joined. -Fixed an accessed none from the PT_Pawn every time the PT was opened. -Building repair/defend messages now work correctly with building armour -- -Editted ChangetoSBH() in RX_Controller -- May fix the SBH spectator glitch, but not a guarentee. Balance: Added points for building destruction: 1875, with half going to the player, half just to the team score. Points for repairing/attacking buildings reduced about 1/3rd +All maps have gone back to having static mine limits. +Airdrops now only allow Buggies/Humvees and APCs Fixed TS Recon Bike and HMRLS being WTF...bewm vs. aircraft. No more killing off Apaches and Orcas in like a second TibSun Buggy damage vs. heavy armour further reduced. Light armour damage slightly reduced more. EMP Grenade arm time reduced from 6 to 3 seconds. EMP Grenades now do a 25% burst damage vs. mines, then do damage over time. Damage over time does not stack, but now multiple EMP grenades will disarm faster. Updated Scoreboard and Pause screen Flash files for Building armor. Misc: Surrender Vote is unavailable till 15 minutes in. Added a specific timer for Change/Restart/Surrender votes. They are 5x longer than the normal timer, just for the sake of preventing spamming. +Surrender vote now taunts instead of giving a Mission Accomplished/Failed message. It also is less "And the we were done" +Gave the GDI APC, Buggy, Humvee and Stealth Tank some of their gravity back +Infantry you can not buy when the HON/Bar are down are now not visible in the character menu +Aircraft are no longer drawn in the purchase menu when it is a non-flying map. Progress bars for planting beacons/airstrikes have been redone in flash, and are now different colours by team. Added TeamInfo RCON command Some minor corrections to GameInfo/ServerInfo RCON commands Corrected some RCON command help messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryz Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Nice nice nice, especially the EMP thing. Can you tell anything about the maps? I know Eyes and Thommy's map (can't come up with the name) will be updated, but I hope we can expect some more maps. Maybe Henk is finishing one of his maps, on the otherhand Hourglass (with less rain, plz!), Crashsite and Kenz Beachhead map are a good candidate. Or am I forgetting maps?

DoctorB0NG Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 These are some solid changes.

Idiotas Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I don't know why people want their custom maps so badly in the game. I know it's awesome if one of your maps gets into the game, but ehhh most of them are completely shit. Sorry to say that. All i see from the maps are defenses everywhere or the bigger the map the better or just a flat map without any features. The maps we have now (eyes and trainingyard) are the most normal ones i've seen. Eyes just need a bit more smaller and Training yard a bit bigger (because you can easily b2b). Don't know how the newer version is. We'll see. Just make a simple map with a good gameplay in it and people will love it. It doesn't need 1000 random features or defenses, it doesn't need to be a giant map, ect. Like i said just make a simple map (something like islands or complex as example). If your map is really good like that, it will get into the rotation soon enough. If it doesn't, then you really need to start thinking why your map isn't in the rotation.

While this may be a bit harsh, I agree with the overall message. Sometimes less is more. Walls is the most played map and it's so simple. Maps should be made with a form follows function mentality.

Xpert Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 And for the love of God, fix that 0-creds-can't-buy-free-infantry bug What he said. I've reported this bug since Beta 2 and it has still yet to be fixed. I bet it's a simple boolean expression that needs to be changed because even when you have the exact credits for a character, you can't buy it.

Henk Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 @Minji: It's up to the server owners if they want to keep their maps in rotation, if it's unpopular they can remove it. This way those maps at least get a chance to be played with a decent amount of people. I also want to add that Snow doesn't have automated defenses, isn't big or flat and has the structure in the middle as a "feature". If it turns out to suck I can either make changes according to feedback or it can be removed from the game in the patch after this one.

Do you really think that? Mesa never gets played and isn't even out of the rotation. Still, custom maps doesn't get in right away when it's made. It still needs to be tested if it's good to play. If we really just put in custom maps right away and see if they are popular or not while they suck, that's just wrong right there and no, it's not up to the server owners. That's just retarded. Just need to have a group of testers that will test the map like the beta testers did for beta 4. Every weekend on saturday or sunday at the right time, so both EU and NA players don't have any issues when it take place. They report bugs and glitches ect. Give feedback and say if the map is good enough to get in the official rotation or not.

Totem Arts Staff yosh56 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Totem Arts Staff Share Posted October 1, 2015 I'm actually with the Minji, which is why I kind of just ignore most requests for maps to be added. TrainingYard is pretty simple, and the game lacked a map that was just small constant fighting. Personally I don't agree with some of the things the final version did (aside from not look like... THAT) but I guess I'm sort of stuck with it. Snow is getting added because it -is- simple. It's also a custom from OldRen that (for some reason) people liked even though it was a hell of a stalemate map, even with no defenses. And for the love of God, fix that 0-creds-can't-buy-free-infantry bug What he said. I've reported this bug since Beta 2 and it has still yet to be fixed. I bet it's a simple boolean expression that needs to be changed because even when you have the exact credits for a character, you can't buy it. Knew about it since beta 1. The purchase system also isn't the easiest thing to parse through. If it was out in the open it'd be fixed already. I also completely forgot about it till Valley came out.

Ryz Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hmm maybe not all the new maps are good enough, but I think new maps draw in players cause they want to see them. If we have to rely on servers and people installing them themselves I think we never see some of those in action. If Crashssite gets released it just has to be pushed to the people if you ask me.

Ehh.. no. We just need a group of dedicated testers that know how the game works and knows how the gameplay should be. Pushing maps in peoples faces is not going to help. Not for the players nor the guy who made the map. To draw in players with new maps that aren't even tested and have tons of bugs and gamebreaking stuff is just bad. It's like smacking them into a wall. It's better to balance the characters/vehicles and maps that we have now, so we get a good gameplay and game balance. That's all what the people want.

It's just that the map needs to be playable, have no bugs/glitches (well a few doesn't really matter as long as it isn't game breaking) and it has to be fun for the players (otherwise we have a second mesa map that never gets played lol).

Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted October 2, 2015 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted October 2, 2015 I know asking more custom maps to be included are a bit asking for too much. However, there's that one time B0ng happened to say on our shoutbox (not exact quote) when I hosted custom maps on the TmX Special Server, that he'd prefer for the custom maps to get released along with the updates so as to not divide the communities even further And yea, part of why I don't update my old maps yet are because we never get to test them properly, to see if it fits well with the intended (and unintended) number of players, mostly because of the same reason why some people ask 'What is PUG?' or why they keep crying 'Why is this changed?' : They don't visit forums often Of course, I don't expect too many custom maps to get released along with the game, much less Coastal anyways. But I'd be happy if we can get some dedicated tester, and probably at one exact time, like how PUG works. 8 players + bots can never simulate the real game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
