Coming in patch 3635

[IceDreamer]

So this is basically a list of things which have been submitted as "Pull Requests" in the repository, meaning the code is ready to roll. There is no guarantee that PilOt will choose to integrate all of these. He can choose to exclude one or more at the last minute.

Code: Select all

- Mongoose Buff (Slight increase in Gatling gun MuzzleVelocity to take it closer to Ravager's)
- Fixed UEF T3 Mobile AA being able to fire from Continental, and reduced projectile number
- Continental Fixes:
    - Fixed units firing from transport
    - Fixed Continental not dying to Nukes with the shield up
    - Improved fix for units being transported taking no damage while the shield is up
- T3 Seraphim Mobile Artillery given proper 'ARTILLERY' designation
- Satellite Base now self-destructs leaving full wreckage when the Satellite is killed by a Nuke
- Attempt to fix bomblet spread on bombers such as UEF and Cybran T1 Bombers
- Attempt to fix Seraphim T1 Mobile AA's aim
- Attempt to fix Aeon T1 Frigate, T2 Destroyer, and Seraphim T3 Subhunter weapon bones to improve fire reliability
- Fixed free ACU upgrade exploit

- Shield Fixes:
    - Personal Shields now protect units also under bubble shields
    - Personal Shields now protect units properly from splash weaponry
    - Personal Shields now have correct impact size (They use the base unit hitbox)
    - Bubble Shields now correctly ricochet damage among themselves
    - Bubble Shields now interact with splash weaponry properly

[Aarhun]

Thanks a lot for your (all the dev) work !

[ColonelSheppard]

wait... the continental survived a nuke with shield up!?

Yeah...


I done goofed

Fixed now though!

[Aulex]

area commands should be included, also was that the final consensus for how satellites will behave when hit by a nuke?

I believe final consensus was that the satelite base should be able to rebuild once it gets destroyed.

It's a bit of work to implement that, so we might aswell change it so this happens when it's intially built, too. Preserving total build-cost and build time. My initial idea for cost is simply 50% -- other opinions would be apreciated

[Deering]

Literally nobody wants option 2 (the base destroying). Until the rebuild can be implemented something like the sat flying higher or no collision can be used as a temp fix.

Thank you devs!

I PMed Sheeo about a month ago I think asking if T1 Mass Extractors could have their strategic icon separated in the blueprints from T1 Mass Storage. It sounded like it was easy to do and would get up - any update on this?

Thanks again for your work guys.

Of course, I'll make sure to push this change later today

EDIT: It's done here: https://bitbucket.org/thepilot/forged-alliance-forever-lua/pull-request/116/new-icon-name-for-mass-storage

Nobody in the thread, plenty of people in PMs. It's actually by far the best option for ease of use, eco management, and breadth of strategic options.
