Sounds nice!Caydr wrote:Wow, this new sound system really is quite good. I've already got it in place, in fact. I've got my speakers at like 100% and got a huge battle going without my speakers crackling or being damaged, all sound channels on, and no sounds (excepct ones you'd want) are completely overwhelming.
EDIT: pun not intended..
No, I don't think plasma is balanced for being interceptable and weapon types weren't chosen with that assumption, either. Having these things block the unit-mounted artillery used to destroy defensive structures certainly isn't the intention. Of course you can use starburst weapons but unit pricing, purposes, etc weren't assigned with shields in mind.Cabbage wrote:It's a plasma shield/repulsor, it should stop all plasma shot regardless of where they come from.
About the commander wrecks:
A comboom should leave no wreck from other commanders as a commander hit by a comboom takes a HUGE amount of damage. I don't know what kind of severity self-destruct causes but the comboom probably causes just as much.
The metal value of a commander was severely lowered. I personally believe that no amount of crap should deprive somebody of that 2500 metal/commander reincarnate - self-destruct or no, I've come to the rational conclusion that he/she/it should always leave a corpse. The game is simply more dynamic that way.

Quotin' all over this
@Lippy: Done
Ok, I'll set commanders to always leave a wreck and we can see how that works.
Actually, the only things left are rebuilding the halberd script's weapon firing section and a couple of tweaks to the commander script.

Weapon definitions categorized into different files:
Cannons
Dummies
Flak
Lasers
Mines
Missiles*
Nukes
Paralyzers**
Rockets*
Units
Water
Weapons***
* Difference between "missiles" and "rockets" is that rockets are
either non-seeking, vertical-launching, slow-moving, or cannot
easily hit aircraft
** Any weapon with paralyzer=1 goes in this category, regardless of
its other properties
*** Basically, the "else" category. If something doesn't fit into
the others, it goes here.
The modelled frog can go in Xect vs. Mynn if its not used in AA :)
Maybe just lower it, although I don't think there was anything wrong with the current cost.
Other peoples thoughts here?
Are you sure that is so wise? I mean even the metal makers have a metal cost now.Wind generator energy cost eliminated
