Totem Arts Staff Totem Arts Posted April 15 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted April 15 Welcome Back, Commander! Welcome to the first patch on our road to the FINAL version of Renegade X! Starting this year, we'll be adding in new content and bug fixes as a part of the FINAL version - a.k,a. Version 1.0 - roster. This update includes a lot of quality of life features, bug fixes and gameplay adjustments to refine the experience even more. Chemical Warrior Something never felt right with the Chemical Warrior character, so we've addressed that with a brand new character model taking much more resemblance to its OG counterpart. Much better than a Black Hand Sniper paintjob, right? New Map! Mines We're pleased to announce that we're adding in CNC-Mines (created by community member a newly appointed staff member @Njorl). He has been working hard to update the with the recently gained feedback from the public playtest. Check it out! Overview Menu We've redesigned the Overview Menu to give more information regarding your team and the battlefield. The amount of EPIC Characters are now also being displayed. In addition to that, the Airstrike zone is now also being displayed once the target has been painted! Revealed Position For the first time in Renegade X' history, we're bringing in a new feature that originally comes from Firestorm! Commanders can now spot enemies, but those enemies will get notified about that their position has been revealed. Spoiler | Balance | Halved infantry healing required to collect VP reward Radar Scan No longer scans infantry inside of buildings Tactical Rifle Grenade Launcher Slightly reduced the splash damage radius Slightly reduced the burn damage AC-130 Airstrike Reduced rate of fire and damage slightly Stealth Tank Increased vehicle damage by 10% Increased the lock-on homing strength Soviet Tesla Tank (APB) Updated the Lightning Bolt damage to 65 and updated the splash radius to 80 Added Veterancy | Gameplay Changes | Disabled the map change vote for the first 10 minutes of the game Friendly airstrike target zones are now visible on the minimap and overview menu Spotting an enemy beacon now reveals it on the minimap If a friendly spots a Timed C4 on you, you'll receive a Private Message Added a chat announcement when mines are being removed by the commander Updated headshot logic to be more consistent | Bug Fixes | Fixed the Airstrike weapon causing you to pickup ammo boxes even if it can't be refilled Fixed not being unspotted if you died Fixed an issue with firing directly after reloading that caused weapons to not display as firing for other players, causing invisible damage Fixed an issue where vehicle FOV was causing remote clients to see vehicles aiming in the wrong spot. This happened a lot when firing into tunnels on Field, for example, and caused a lot of invisible damage Fixed the player being ignored / not taking damage by base defenses if they exited their vehicle while the defenses were shooting that first (Skirmish only) Fixed a bug that allowed the players to start voting for a commander impeachment when there was no commander on the team Fixed Mendoza's beard being visible through smoke effects Disabled automatic blending on running animations that caused some weird looking hesitations | Visuals / Audio | Chemical Warrior: Added new character model! Shotgun: Updated the weapon model when you carry it on your back Railgun: Updated the weapon model when you carry it on your back Ramjet Rifle: Updated the weapon model when you carry it on your back Added in Hitmark sound effects! (Can be enabled through the Settings Menu) Updated some voicelines for the Soldier, Grenadier, Black Hand Sniper, Chemical Warrior and Rocket Soldier Repair Facility: Re-Enabled the 'Building Under Attack' voice message by default Soviet Tesla Tank (APB) Added the classic RA1 Firing and Reload Sound Effect | User Interface | Added a new design for the overview menu, being much more detailed with showing player statistics Added a UI new element for displaying you've been spotted by an enemy Commander Disabled the '[ STOLEN ]' tag on spotting as half of the time it didn't work correctly and created confusion Re-added on-screen messages for starting a bounty | Quality of Life | Added an auto-balancer that keeps the teams balanced, with a credit bonus as reward if you're switching teams. Feature has been disabled by default Vehicles that die to non-player damage (water/lava/etc) will now give their kill credit to the most recent player who damaged it | Maps | Global Restored the Vignette in the Post-Processing Chain we use on all maps Crash Site: Complete rework of the map! Complex: Restored a gentle snowfall effect that went missing ages ago Desolation: Applied the correct bike to the Nod vehicle roster Eyes: Fixed a stuck spot on the GDI ramp inside the Tiberium Cavern. Moved up the Repair Facilities to the back of the base for both factions Field: Reverted the Winter version back to its regular counterpart Restored the original floodlight lenseflare Fixed the GDI bots sometimes bumping into the corner of the Adv. Guard Tower interior and get stuck until they suicide Modified some blocking volumes to stop vehicles from enetering the tunnels Added some boulders around the bunker paths to indicate vehicles can't access those areas Adjusted the area surrounding the Nod bunker where GDI would have a safe haven. Field X: Added additional cover on the outer vehicles routes for Anti-Tank units and vehicles. With the advanced base defenses up, it becomes barely impossible to snipe into the bases Rock compositions that provided cover in the outer vehicle route have been revamped, giving the advanced base defences more of an advantage to target approaching enemy vehicles Fixed some issues where vehicles would be able to bypass the invisible walls and access infantry only areas Forest: Reverted the Winter version back to its regular counterpart Goldrush: Fixed characters and vehicles appearing pitch black in most parts of the map Updating a lot of rock compositions that are less stretched out and more natural looking (Visually they are more appealing) Gave the advanced base defences more sight over the entrance again instead of sitting behind a rock and not having much of a purpose Moved the rock arch in front of the Obelisk more up so it won't block the view of the crystal Removed the perch near the GDI Refinery that didn't have much purpose, instead a new perch has been opened around the AGT that allows infantry to push out of base more easily Various material brightness balancing to not appear too dark Fixed a lot of miniscule gaps in the factory Fixed a dirt road that was going underneath a rock Fixed some floating wooden fence next to the Barracks Fixed a floating container near the Airstrip and added an additional container on top to cover you from the Obelisk Restored the Tiberium Infestated Tower material that got broken ages ago Lakeside: Reverted the Winter version back to its regular counterpart Mines: Added Walls: Reverted the Winter version back to its regular counterpart Fixed the Nod Harvester not fully entering the Tiberium Field Toxicity Barracks and Weapons Factory switched locations In addition, the Weapons Factory will now be harder to hit from the dam The upper infantry route - now near the Weapons Factory - are accessable for vehicles Moved the Guard Tower to a more optimal position Fixed a Base-2-Base location around the Airstrip Updated the Minimap and Preview Image Under: Nod tunnel ground now have a snow physical material applied that makes sure you get a snow footstep sound rather than a concrete footstep sound | Other | Update rotation RCON command to give current gamemode rotation rather than Rx_Game exclusively Added RCON command for kicking all AFK players Added revive building kismet action node Having health locked on building now blocks pedestal beacon special effects Removed RCON log for going out of bounds What's next? We hope with this patch out we can continue the development of the 1.0 version of this game. We already have some things in the works that will come in the near future. That includes the release of the most anticipated map at this moment: City. One other thing that is almost near completion is another character model! I hope he brings more "Firewood" to this game. Until next time! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
