You realise we were talking about wezel and jeffz0rz right?.

yeah, he didnt realise.

pint, why dont you knock out the next version? editing fbi files takes minutes and that is all that is really required at this point:

a modification of the commander blast radius to destroy commanders from further out

a standardisation of dgun range between arm and core

significant nerfs to later commander morphs (mostly, axe the movespeed increases and halve the increments in which buildpower increases)

And also remove amphib lab? Revert a lot of the fx additions, tweak scouts, remove mineclearer bot, buff t2 gunships, reduce the cost of immolator etc etc etc...

If xta moved to SVN builds I would tweak fbi's for a test build, but I am not willing or capable of maintaining a mod. If I remade XTA as I wanted it, it would be different enough to be a fork, which I'm not up for maintaining.

But where the sources of the mod are stored? If you could give me a link to examine?

Download 7-zip. Use it to open .sdz and .sd7.

I would argue for a few people being able to contribute to SVN, revert wars would suck.

Open testing would be cool.

Hi again.

In the light of these tonnes of text I flooded here. I propose to increase damage of arti shots from 933 to somewhere near 1500
in next release. This factor 1.5 increase, will increase performance of arti on fat (occupying large area) targets like buildings and tanks, where it sucks compared to luger. The performance on the small targets will stay almost the same, since lots of small targets die already from single arti shot, and will also die after the change.

Would make them super duper OP vs commanders imo.

But the commander is stilll dying in most cases when hit, because
of impulse or something. I don't remember but somebody claimed that in this thread. Also it is very inaccurate, so one should be very lucky. Also when you have the t2 lab and money for arti, the value of commander decreases and it probably could be killed in variety of other ways.

i agree that core arty is underpowered, but i'm not sure on the best way to fix it.

PS: i think the whole concept of extreme dps with low accuracy is broken, and that goes for both lugers and raven. I'd rather have them hitting more consistently but with reduced dps.
