A new release of Spring is soon, but if you want to say something about xta v9 now, you can download it now.

Download for your own free will.

does it have the cool CA stuff like autoselect comm on start? every mod should have that ^^

We do not use Lua, CA in some aspects are very far ahead of its time.

I advise trying the xta nuke for lag.

Damn, I wish BA had some of those models and effects. It almost makes me want to defect to the other side.

I thought the CA autoselect com on start was just a lua widget bundled with CA that was on by default and can be extracted and placed in the normal folder so it can be used in every mod?

Well i was going to say it, but figured it wasn't right for me to ruin it, yes almost any lua upgrade in ca can be converted to lua for any mod except for a few.

I've found some minor issues...

Construction units spam particles, even when they're not building or closed (vehicles).

Arm Com's nano particle effect starts too early and ends too late. Should only show up when it builds and stop when it's not aiming the nano anymore.

All MuzzleFlame particles should have frontOffset=0.25; in it. This sets the frontTexture off by a good deal. Look at it from the side and you'll see the difference.

I'll have a closer look tomorrow.

oooh how can you not like the flames?
next do teamcolored dgun.

new t1 crawling bombs might be imba because they bounce units around.
sadly sometimes it still feels like playing on 0.5 speed but hmkay

I think this is intended? It looks cool and follows the TA intro.

It wasn't exactly delayed. The particles appear before it finished aiming at the unit/building to shoot nanos at and stops after the torso, arm, etc. are reset. It should aim first and then spam particles. You can still have a delay by scripting one. It just feels better.

Just use QueryNanoPiece to emit it, that way it won't do anything when stalling, either.

Its amazing, cause thats what i used.

KDR_11k · Post by **KDR_11k** » 16 Jul 2007, 22:33

Then why does it start too early?

Argh · Post by **Argh** » 16 Jul 2007, 22:37

Maybe the tolerance for such events is something hard-coded, and it turns slowly enough or is flashy enough to be really noticeable?

I'll have to check it out, later on.

Or maybe he sets INBUILDSTANCE too early?
