XTA v8.1 Release

Post by Chojin »

All new and shiny XTA v8.1! Thanks to all involved!

Image

Check out the new and updated Unit Guide!

It is included in the Regular installer of latest Spring 0.74b1. In case you used the GPL content installer, you can download this mod from here: If you chose the Plain SD7 download, you will also need another pack of files containing non-GPL content, which were intentionally left out of the GPL content installer. Download the following file and extract it to your base\ folder: Changes:
  • Raven missiles will no longer cause explosions during launch
  • New flight model for level 2 fighters
  • Fixed energy costs of Core anti-nukes
  • Several new effects added
  • Various balancing tweaks
  • New loading screens
  • New icons (shown on minimap and when zoomed out)
Read up on all changes and credits here: *** If you experience crashes in combination with AAI,
*** please follow these instructions:
  • Install XTAPE.cfg in your ai\aai\cfg\mod\ folder.
  • Delete the file ai\aai\learn\mod\XTAPE.dat
  • Delete the file ai\aai\log\BuildTable_XTAPE.txt

Awesome! The pyro and/or dgun effects are amazing!

One thing though, i think the Dgun effect would look better if it didnt last so long...same thing, just have it fade a bit faster

[Edit]

Whoa, thats a very dramatic change. Any particular reason?

@Sheekel: It should have been around 5000 all along, just like the arm_anti_nuke_missle. But a 0 got lost somewhere in the past ;-)

@Mr.D: Oh, we are still awaiting your new model with joy :-)

For some reason this version doesn't work. Spring simply quits when choosing 8.1 to play (running the comm test or any other). Other mods such as NB seem to work though.

Okay my bad. You should distribute the tacontent.sdz and tatextures.sdz with the download. People will run into problems if they got the GPL distribution and want to play any mod which uses either.

I seem to recall 500 was a typo, it was supposed to be 5000 from onset.

Which would make the GPL distro non GPL, and hence make the GPL release moot.

Yes, I meant including it in the mod download, not the GPL installer.

Thanks, rattle, we forgot about that.

I added a Base-OTA-Content.zip link and created an installer, that includes everything (14MB).

Will the links in the OP for XTAPE.sd7 and Base-OTA-Content.zip stay the same for the foreseeable future?

If so, then, if you don't mind, I'd like to link to them in the SetupGuide for linux users.

I don't play XTA, but shoot me if that splash screen isn't pretty. And the tips should be mandatory in every mod.

Hi there... I believe I am in the right forum room.. ok. I have been playin XTA off and on for a long time. One thing that kinda bugs me is the speed at which the Nano Turrets come out of the construction vehicle/kbot. They are very slow and are in a way impractical. In AA/BA, I know that the Nano Turrets come out of the construction vehicle/kbot quickly. So, i just rang in here to see what other people thought about whether the Nano Turret (the little turret that comes out of the hole of the con vehicle or kbot that builds..) should come out quicker in XTA like it does in AA/BA.

http://xta.wolfgame.org/forum/ is the place for xta discussion and such now.
