NOTA 1.82

[smartie]

try turning off lolui

that's the only thing we changed that could be causing it

[anguschandler]

Hey thanks - that fixed it for me!

[Pendrokar]

Rapiers sometimes don't know when they are out of ammo(or was fuel used?) and they indefinitely strafe around their targets. Don't know if the same thing happens with brawlers.

[anguschandler]

I've seen the rapier issue as well. I think it might happen with brawlers, too - I never play ARM though, just saw some enemies hanging out not shooting.

[smartie]

It's a spring bug that affects gunships using fuel. It was introduced last version i believe

It happens when you don't have any enough free airpads for all the gunships to return to. The ones that don't have an empty pad reserved for them to go back to hang around until one is available.

[Sgt Doom]

Is there an AI that can play this mod? RAI and KAIK don't seem able to and AAI just crashes all the time and I don't think has a config for it anyway.
(Note - I have no internet at home, so AI's only)

RAI is probably the best you'll get, KAIK just sulks in a corner unless it's given a commander and AAI hasn't worked in a long time with anything IIRC.

[Pendrokar]

No more trailer.
It's gameplay this time:

Nice idea, I like it. You get to see the course of the whole game without reducing everything to dot wars.

[momfreeek]

check out the psychadelic explosions i get in nota:

i pity all you people without crappy ati graphics cards

[smoth]

can you do a video of that, it looks amazing!

[Master-Athmos]

Did you check the alt-tab rendering option? I don't have any tabbing problems anymore for quite a while...

I can't be assed to work out how to do that, but I did just take this shot when god fired 7 nukes at us:

hmm, i sometimes get alt-tab issues but this doesn't seem to be related. I don't really want to fix it anyway

[momfreeek]

transportable turrets have completely disappeared with new spring version (they don't appear on build menus)

this is esp bad for mobile cons ofc as they are limited to mines for ground defence

[Thor]

yeah, that's fixed for 1.60. I think we will be ready to release it by friday or saturday. If anyone has noticed any other bugs or has any suggestions please post them now.

[momfreeek]

ships won't move in a straight line, it seems thats an engine bug due to new pathfinding covered here:

[Pendrokar]

Hovers turning around one spot which they need to get to but can't because of their turning rate. Some who could manipulate this right would make hovers tough. Mostly seen on hovers which are on water.

It kinda is like a bug.

[Pendrokar]

I also might have one suggestion. The electronic warfare ships jammer range. Isn't it too small or are those ships supposed to replace destroyers?

[smartie]

The ewar isn't supposed to be a wide area jamming thing. It's more for hiding one of your big ships. The arm battlecruiser is especially effective under a jammer. They don't have torpedos so they aren't replacements for the dd.

[Pendrokar]

It is just that it's hard to always have it so close. I don't mean to double the range just increase a bit.

Also why do Thunder and Shadow bombers have their own AA? T1 fighters become not that effective and I'm starting to think strategic bombers are not worthwhile to build because of this. Or is it meant that fighters being mobile and cheaper makes the better than immobile and mobile flaks.
