Balanced Annihilation 5.61 is out!

[NOiZE]

5.6 --> 5.61

Fixed typo which caused the Core Adv Kbot lab to be 10 times expensive as it should be.

5.5 --> 5.6

Increased Juggernaut's Size, and costs
Put the Juggernaut in the Krogoth armor class, so it receives the same special damages
Maverick leaves a wreck now
Informer and Seer wrecks metal worth adjusted.

Juno's Missle Now also destroys minefields
Increased Ground damage of Avengers and Freedomfighters
Increased Sonar Range of Destroyers a bit
Triton costs reduced
EMP-bombs damage reduced, to fix the screenshaking if you use the screenshaking widget
Added some gfx to some units, took from XTA and modified them a bit to fit BA, thanks Noruas and Gizmo!
Improved Vulcan/Buzzsaw's accuracy, but it takes a shitload of E now :)
Fixed bladewing patrols, thanks to Saktoth
Jammers/Radars now disable when you E-Stall, lua script by licho
Made Juno's weapon go less high
Dragon Eyes can no longer be build in the water
Spies are no longer amphib

not the poor juggernaut! why nerf the juggernaut?

[richw]

I've seen people "spam" juggernaut's, its a welcome change in my eyes...

[Acidd_UK]

Looks sexy

[BrainDamage]

where are ivory king's start screens?

[Machiosabre]

nothing about kbot radar/jamming units having tank movement classes?

[NOiZE]

Sorry for the typo :)


And no Machio, it wasn't on my todo list, its on my next list though

[1v0ry_k1ng]

[ginekolog]

[Lippy]

Looks Good!

Juno's Missle Now also destroys minefields

My favourite; awesome idea!

5.5 --> 5.6

Spies are no longer amphib

I don't suppose you could make spies act like the Arm Pelican and hover over the water?

[Harbinger]

5.5 --> 5.6

I don't suppose you could make spies act like the Arm Pelican and hover over the water?

Why?

[REVENGE]

I don't suppose you could make spies act like the Arm Pelican and hover over the water?

Why?

Because it's useful and spies have been amphib for ages?

[REVENGE]

Pelican a bit more hp and dps

Yeah, these things were pretty useless before, like amphibious weasels.

Fixed bladewing patrols, thanks to Saktoth

Thank you Sak indeed. This issue has pissed me off for a long time.
What fixed it btw? Was it script issues?

[MR.D]

Now that Vulcans are even stronger, how about making shields worth a shit?

Even standard bertha shots penetrate shields with ease, how are we to expect that an even higher velocity shot is going to be deflected?

[url_00]

Could I hold a BA 5.61 1vs1 tourney?
Just for kicks?

[trepan]

About the loadscreens:

1. xray shader, cool

2. "/shadows 1 4096"
(the shadows look really grainy, increasing the shadow map size should help)

[Peet]

/shadows 1 8192 if you have a high-end nvidia card, makes them look nice and crisp at any zoom :)

[Saktoth]

Finally, bugfixes.

Mostly looks good, the ground damages changes to fighters might be 'interesting'.

Thank you Sak indeed. This issue has pissed me off for a long time.
What fixed it btw? Was it script issues?

The patrol is -still- broken (Noize couldnt reproduce the bug), however, they had two 'nochasecategory' tags one for 'vtol' and one for 'all', the 'all' was taking precedence, meaning the bladewings would only attack if something strayed into their line of fire.

So you can now give them a move order, or just sit them somewhere, and they'll acquire targets and shoot at stuff etc.

However, if you patrol them in a group, they might still act zany. So avoid patrolling them.
