Thats what everyone does on the mod forum anyways

Sorry for the data being so damn completely innacurate just because i didnt include the buildtime and post the formulas. Ill keep a mental note to never try and help people balance their mods again.

NOiZE, the templates used in the stats pages is bugged. Try the templates from the latest release of the Modweb, they are w3c compliant and everything.

In the next Spring version we can modify the "Team%i(%s) is no more" messages

So the in the next spring version XTA will have /gamedata/messages.tdf

Code: Select all

[messages]
{
        [Team%i(%s) is no more]
        {
                tr1=Team%i(%s) has been obliterated;
                tr2=Team%i(%s) has been liquidated;
                tr3=Team%i(%s) has been eradicated;
                tr4=Team%i(%s) has terminated;
                tr5=Team%i(%s) has bowed out;
                tr6=Team%i(%s) has gone to a better place;
                tr7=Team%i(%s) has been shown the door;
                tr8=Team%i(%s) has left the scene;
        }
}

Good Old OTA times

hehe nice new fleas :)

mongus · Post by **mongus** » 27 May 2006, 23:32

not so harmless fleas in xta

remember the scale!! (fleas are bigger than pewees in xta

).

are hedgehogs amphibious?.. can they fire from underwater?..

(cant test right now).

Its a good idea, because .. ships dont have any antinuke measure.

Thanks Zenka and Noize!

I think XTA would be improved by reducing the Jethro├é┬┤s maxhp, and decreasing its speed. Also by slightly increasing the Hammer/Thud's range.

NOiZE · Post by **NOiZE** » 29 May 2006, 13:56

SJ proposed some other changes aswell so the new changelog is as this:

Code: Select all

- Added messages.tdf for end game messages
- Fixed Hammer script
- Increased Bulldog and Reaper size by 5%
- Doomsday Machine HP tag is now alwasy visible
- Substituded Armflea with zenka's model
- Reduced Annihilator range by 100 (1995 --> 1895)
- Increased Punisher range by 100 (1900 --> 2000)
- Increased Guardian range by 100 (1950 --> 2050)
- Reduced Brawler, Rapier HP by 100 (1250/1300 now)
- Fixed armor.txt and weapons.tdf a bit
- Made armspider a emg weapon
- Removed 2 unused movementclasses
- Changed the Commanders movementclass to a Kbot on now, so map multipliers work properly
- 100 folded the commander costs, so he doesn't gain Experiance that fast!

There is some new code in the next spring so jethro's/crashers will be a bit less effective:

- Missile weapons no longer tracks to exact position of non flying units (make missile units weaker against radar targets)

And spiders won't become really good soon anymore.

- Stun damage units now receives 1/10 of normal experience and no experience for attacking already stunned units.

Hmm about those anti nukes seems like a good idea

EDIT

added on thing to the changelog

Every change sounds like an improvement to me, good work!

Btw are there any shield units scheduled? I know SJ implemented new shield FBI tags; it would be a shame if they went unused.

- 100 folded the commander costs, so he doesn't gain Experiance that fast!

This is kind of stupid it will make every enemy unit aim for the commander (although they already do that partially) and get huge amount of experience.

IMO it makes the commander more important

And if they already mainly target the commander now, it won't change that much.

NOiZE · Post by **NOiZE** » 29 May 2006, 16:56

maybe you understood me wrongly (trademark did)

I made his costs 100 times HIGHER

700 metal --> 70000 metal

If it means all units will rediculously prioritize the commander, then it's bad.
In E&E all units will always aim for the command unit. And since it has a load of HP, it can absorb all dmg, keeping all surrounding units save.

the commander can still kill....
