NOTA 1.82

[smokingwreckage]

Does Spacebugs utilise the latest NOTA or only the specific version it was released for?

Avid co-op spacebugs players want to know!

[smartie]

last version of spacebugs was for nota 1.52

OK cool.

We've gotten many hours of fine entertainment out of Spacebugs, IMO currently the premium and most flavoursome Chicken.

You should consider making up a new unit category for bombers or i.e. a new air category for everything besides strategic bombers. Currently it seems you've tweaked things to work via bombers flying out of rocket AA range in terms of simply flying too high. I recently noticed though that this can fail on maps like tabula when having AA on high ground. In that case even rocket AA like Pulverizers can shoot down strategic bombers...

i suggest to adjust subs to be able to pass shalows like on map nationsV1 and others. Perhaps make same deppth like BA?

[[Krogoth86]]

Torpedo planes are meant to be able to attack hovers?

[smartie]

Torpedo planes attacking hovers is one of those things that we never intended originally, but we've never had a problem with either.

we probably won't change the water depth for subs. Weird things happen with subs if you have it too low. They'll go underground in the shallows and then blow themselves up with their torpedos.

[REVENGE]

NOTA is cool mang.

[Spawn_Retard]

[Decimator]

You could add a button to make the subs change depth, or even surface, so they can travel in the shallows.

I found the bug causing some units to not be able to fire in NOTA 1.57 beta. It was a typo in weapons\MISSILES.TDF and though i think its likely you guys have fixed it already I would like to help if i can and will offer to help in the future. Here :

[ARMKBOT_MISSILE]
etcetera etcetera
*reloadtime=4.4;/5.4*

to

reloadtime=4.4;//5.4

see you all in game sometime!

hmm found a bit of a bug. the seaplane plant can't be hit by torpedoes.
torpedoes just pass right over it.

-Tech 2 nanotower energy cost and buildtime increased
-Advanced factory metal cost decreased by about 200
-Moho mine energy cost increased 20%
-Bulldog hitpoints lowered from 2800 to 2500
-Warrior speed, range increased
-HAK range increased
-Rocket Kbot hitpoints slightly increased
-Fixed some problems with beam weapons not firing, not doing full damage

[Gota]

Thor think you can include,as a mod option,a walking commander?
maybe remove the dgun and just make it have a lot of hp and a laser gun.

[Strategia]

There's a host option, and you can build a Commander Gantry late-game.

[smartie]

There's a mod option to start with a commander and base. We didn't think it played very well with just a commander (the build tree isn't suited for it and it lead to early game vashp and toadfoot assasinations)

Just a few comments:

Most important: Fix the custom formation widget (i.e. include a fixed one). When having reached a certain amount of units you want to give orders to it won't do anything but give you an error and every following is going to be a new "edge" of that dran dotted line. After setting some of these it crashes your entire Lua...

Then there is your decision of putting some T2 stuff to T1 labs. I don't get the idea behind it and also don't think it was a good idea. It especially makes the T2 tank lab a bit worthless except for the Merls & Diplomats. If I can have my Bulldogs at T1 why should I care about building an expensive lab?

Finally another comment about Arm's T2 AA Tank. I didn't do any "research" but it felt utterly weak for its costs and tech level. You need several shots for any plane with ground fighting ability and the reload time is very high. From my perception any Jethro does a better job than this tank...

[smartie]

That custom formation widget is driving me crazy. Don't get me started on it. If anyone knows were to get a non-broken version of it that'd be really helpful. Last I checked both BA and CA were using broken versions of it also, though it's not nearly as much of a problem in those mods as it is for nota.

In defense of the bulldog it's not very different from the reaper. More HP (2500 instead of app 2000), but it's slower, costs a tiny bit more, and has slightly less power and range on the gun.

Those aa trucks aren't terrible. I think it's 2 shots for a vashp, 3 for a napalm bomber. They've got good speed and range too.

My point wasn't really about Bulldog vs another unit but the Bulldog being available from a T1 lab...

Well I just looked it up:
A Hermes rocket deals about 320 damage - a Jethro rocket deals about 100 damage. So it's pretty much like three Jethros equal one Hermes. One Hermes costs you more than 5 Jethros though and this way you get about the doubled damage output with the Jethros. The Hermes' only advantages are speed (not that important as it's probably being used as a guard for slow tanks & stuff) and range (which sure is nice but yet again as it's about a mobile guard for something it isn't that much of an issue). Not mentioning that with the Jethros you get 2.5 times the HP amount...

That's why I say it's not too impressive for a T2 tank...
