8 months after the last release of AOW2 the next beta build is out. At this point all I can say that the mod has recieved pretty much a complete engine, graphical and balance overhaul.. there's just too much changed to say anything. No changelog yet because it's so massive I haven't gotten it ready yet, that should already be telling enough.

Changelog


	Code: - Added insanity to berserk fists. Rofl away. [Bloax] - Fixed: Grenade launcher altfire and timegun teleport canceled themselves out. [Dusk] - Sandbags should look better in software now (albeit probably worse in sprite-only GL) [Bloax] - Just WHAT do .lmps do in MY kitch.. Er, /sprites!? Converted and Gfx > Optimize PNG'd [Bloax] - Also converted .lmps in /textures to .pngs. [Bloax] - Converted .mp3s to .ogg (also edited them a little bit.) [Bloax] - Added Medicris' new SMG sprite. niec [Bloax] - Fixed terminator death sprites. The next to last one lacked offsets (argh), the last one lacked transparency.

[Bloax] - Made the laser chaingun a bit more software friendly thanks to Dusk. [Bloax] - Actually had a go at the gauss rifle pickup, instead of that upscale it was. liek 314.15% sexier now. [Bloax] - Fixed the gauss firing animations. The one who did them was smoking some seriously bad acid, it's bad for you bro.

[Bloax] - Added new skins for the timegun and shock rifle. [Thetis] - Updated GLDEFS. [Thetis] - Fixed: The game didn't end properly on WF-less maps. [Dusk] - Nerfed the artillery cannon's explosion range (by some) and damage by a bit. Buffed the impact damage though, ALSO reduced the speed boost of the class. Still faster, but not roflfast. [Bloax] - Reduced armor values. Should be less ridiculous now... [Dusk] - Remote C4 now has a 1-second timer before it can be detonated. [Eric] - Added tweaked plasma rifle sprites. (Now blue/red versions) [Bloax] - Fixed: AOW06 suffered from a portal recursion problem, causing recursion at the blue guard tower. Applied 1-sided lines to increase FPS.

Good bye copy/paste code! >:\| [Dusk] - BYE BYE CLASS CARDS FOREVER [Dusk] - Weapon selling is now more lax. Primary weapons can be sold now. [Dusk] - Replaced resign crate with class swap, you are randomly given a different class! The class is given for free, and bypasses all building restrictions.

[Dusk] - Fixed: Planting a proxy mine would cut off weapon sounds. [Dusk] - Added pretty shockrifle effects. [Bloax] - Credits & XP status HUD is now updated in real-time.

[Dusk] - Added system for configuration synchronizing. [Dusk] - Harvesting now yields only 50 experience, while fragging yields double, 100 experience. [Dusk] - Added new TE21 (tibrifle) sprites. Also added a muzzle to it. Eat that, solid green. [Bloax] - Fixed the hands of the repairguns being holed by RGB(0,0,0) transparency. [Bloax] - Tickets are now synchronized properly as well, instead on relying on stupid counters. This should fix the unknown ticket count issue for good. [Dusk] - Teams now have at least 1 credit flow. No more 0 credit flow. [Konda] - Fixed: Portals could be built underwater by building them above water first. [Dusk] - Applied categories and tags to various spawnable items. This makes the item list more readable in Doom Builder. [Dusk] - Added updated gauss rifle sprites. [Bloax] - Changed AOW06's music track to Nether Animal from Unreal Tournament. [Dusk] - Added editor numbers to a bunch of spawnables (missile launcher, step, sandbags, etc) - Added a client-side CVar to make the HUD be drawn in CONFONT, rather than in SMALLFONT. Set aow_confonthud to true to enable. [Dusk] - Medic now has a Tiberium Autorifle instead of a Shotgun. [Medicris, Thetis, Dusk] - Improved BURN/CURN** sprites. By god is drawing all that on 22 sprites over a couple of hours tiring. [Bloax] - Building destruction no longer awards anybody points. Instead, players recieve points for damaging buildings. [Dusk] - Repairing now gives more experience and gives it more spread out: you get 2-3 exp frequently rather than in batches of 50. [Dusk] - Renamed Healing Radius to Medication Field. [Dusk] - Lowered SSG spread from 15.7/11.7 to 13.5/9.4, increased range from 512 to 544. [Dusk] - Removed weapon pickup actors. Instead, sv_weaponstay is now forced to false, causing the weapons to respawn. [Dusk] - Added CVAR aow_killerhealth that enables the player to see their killer's health value.

[Thetis] - Added Cage's crate textures, these replace out the existing ones. [Dusk] - Added new client-side cvar, aow_nohud. When enabled, the hud will not be drawn.

[Eric] - Bullet, laser and explosive armor modifiers now form a balance triangle instead of laser<->explosive weakness. [Medicris, Eric, Dusk] - GTFO-Seats for orcas are in. No more ejecting through the floor of the orca. [Bloax] - A player can now carry up to 3 medication fields and marine beacons. [Dusk] - Portals are now known as teleporters. An individual end is a teleporter node. [Dusk] - Reworked the crate code. Is more streamlined and the Override hack is gone. [Dusk] - The jetpack is now an inventory item.

[Thetis] - Adjusted shockrifle to have fading damage at longer range (looks noice too) [Medicris, Eric] - Sniper Rifle has a fov-based view kick when firing scoped. Nice feel to it. [Medicris] - Fixed an exploit where turrets can be placed outside of the map and still count towards the turret total. However this means that you need actual line of sight of the turret to actually spawn them [Thetis] - Proxies now need proper line of sight of a player in order to be spawned to prevent exploits. [Thetis] - Removed a couple of useless jumps on AI Marines to reduce bandwidth usage. [Thetis] - Updated Tiberium Riflemen AI Marines. [Thetis] - Fixed: Rocket Soldier AI Marines was able to fire a homing missile right after a dumbfire missile and vice versa. [Thetis] - Replaced the current Grenade Launcher marine skin with a new skin that more closely resembles the actual grenade launcher weapon. [Thetis] - Fixed: The blue credit/xp display panel was slightly lower than red's. [Thetis] - Added Medic's grenade launcher changes. [Medic, Thetis] - Fixed: Compensation attempted to spawn an invalid actor in place of AI marines, causing it to not work at all. [Dusk] - Fixed ejection of all bullet/shell casing casings, enlarged Artillery Cannon casings. [Medic] - Improved sniper rifle scope toggle animation. [Dusk] - Massdriver and Antimech explosive damagetypes now has a chance to gib the target. [Thetis] - Players and AI Marines are now knocked back upon dying from explosive damagetypes. [Thetis] - Chainsaw toss projectile now inflicts (55) damage instead of 12-96 to reduce randomness. [Thetis] - Grenade Launcher altfire now does not leave smoke trails when it stays on the floor. [Thetis] - Redid the smokeless trails of grenade launcher altfire. [Thetis] - Transferred the explosive resistances of the precision turret to the anti mech and artillery turrets. [Thetis] - Fixed: Razor Wires could be spawned outside of the map. [Thetis] - Fixed: Blue Artillery Turrets spawned klaxon markers in see state. [Thetis] - Redid some of the lights in some actors. [Thetis] - Changed proxy mines to be destroyed by bullet weapons [Eric] - Changed proxy mine damagetype to Explosive, updated damage accordingly. [Eric] - Server-side CVars are now archived, thus they will be preserved between server downtime. [Dusk] - Performed some script renumbering. Ideally all internal scripts should be moved to 800-999 range. [Dusk] - Moved Open Deck to inventory. [Dusk] - Moved utility-object DECORATE to actors/objects/ [Dusk] - Medication fields now last for 90 seconds instead of 60. [Dusk] - Permanent medication fields appear purple now for distinguishing. (except that no map actually has them) [Dusk] - Players can no longer make donations before they have been a minute in game. [Dusk] - Added Blox's rock37 - this one was meant for volcanicity but I'm using this in other maps now too. [Dusk] - Revamped AOW15: Oasis details-wise. Feels like a fucking oasis now. [Dusk] - Medic classes now do less damage than other classes. [Dusk] - Caches are now non-solid. [Dusk] - Medication field health decreased to 150. - Removed the unused Ingame dummy item. [Dusk] - Made some heavy changes to the Shock Rifle - it now fires 3 separate hitscans with different ranges and increasing damage at closer ranges. [Eric] - Made the tibrifles reload ammo while in the ready state. It allows firing in funky sequences though, which could be useful for making the one being shot at going bananas. [Bloax] - Moved the Blue Obelisk so that it matches the red one [Qent] - Merged time gun boost with slow and float with weaken. Burst replaced with hyperspeed except with health drain. Should also be a bit more intuitive to use now. [Dusk] - Sprite names converted to lowercase. - Added blood revolver crate. The revolver has 3 instant kill bullets. The only way to get more ammo for it is to frag with it. [Dusk] - Bumped amount of maximum supported players to 64 as Zandronum did so too. [Dusk] - Hmm. The time-space continuum continues to disrupture. Something's going on in Oasis.. - Increased teleporter build distance from 128 to 224 in order to prevent false errors in the check for space. [Dusk] - Added +NOAUTOFIRE to artillery cannon and plasma cannon to prevent accidental firing. [Dusk] - Advanced turrets now take 2x the build time. [Dusk] - Berserk now has double jump height in exchange for punch range (135->96). [Eric, Dusk] - Reworked Floating City: added cover to streets, swapped factory/grocery store locations, moved tib fields into parking hall and store. Parking hall can now be accessed from the rear side. Texturing/detail additions and fixes. [Dusk] - Spawn invulnerability is now interrupted out if the player fires his weapon. Also added particle effects as a visual cue. [Eric, Dusk] - Added particle effects for timegun powerups. [Dusk] - Berserk is now unarmored, armor is restored upon unmorph. [Dusk] - Fixed: Killing a player actor by a bomb crate which did not exist (by changing teams for instance) had disastrous consequences. [Dusk] - Removed the Blue and Red damage types, teamless damagetypes (Fire, Bullet, etc) are now back in use. Terminal teamkilling is prevented through use of DesignatedTeam. [Dusk] - Renamed Grenade_Launcher to GrenadeLauncher as the latter name is not reserved by zandronum. [Dusk] - Revamped AOW09: opened up some paths to tibs, opened up blue base `labyrinth` a bit, added detail and visuals. [Dusk] - Fixed: Beacons could be brute-forced with multiple invuse binds. The result would be an ion beacon (even in red team) with the beacon item still in your inventory.. which could be used again. [Dusk] - Replaced the old switch-spam selection system with a streamlined menu which can be extended to add new classes/researches/mechs/whatever without the need to update all maps every single time or to update any signpost graphics or class cards. About fucking time if I'm asked! [Dusk] - When a player plants a beacon, an estimated location of the planter is now printed to teammates. [Dusk] - Added new CVAR aow_creditcap that controls the maximum amount of credits a player can have. 0 (default) means infinite. [Dusk] - Time gun users now get bonuses for powering up teammates and powering down enemies. [Dusk] - Intel messages are now logged to console. [Dusk] - Added +nointeraction to power plant smoke in hopes of fixing waterfall smoke in AOW15 getting moved around. [Dusk] - Added experimental radar crate, allows you to see allies and enemies as blips on the HUD. Also, aow_alwaysradar can be set to always have the radar, but this radar of course does not show enemies. [Dusk] - Added server CVAR aow_noradar that disables the radar on all clients altogether. [Dusk] - Various team messages are now printed out to console + notify list. Allows people to keep track of their team better. aow_noteamlog disables it. [Dusk] - Added stricter checks to C4 disarming awards in hopes of suppressing fake award messages. [Dusk] - Laser chaingun now spawns less/more flashes when aow_fx is <=-1/>=1. [Bloax] - Added new detonator sprites, and tweaked the animation for it when you still have RC4 left. (It looks awkward if I keep the long pause.) [Bloax] - Fixed: In resolutions 640x400 or smaller, the base HUDs would overlap. [Dusk] - Razor wire no longer harms anything but enemy players. [Dusk] - If a player uses +moveup/+movedown with jumpjets, the jumpjet deactivates itself. [Dusk] - The HUD should work more properly in widescreen modes with the text strings falling into their graphics properly now. [Dusk] - D_AOW09: Cropped the intro and ending a bit to make it loop more seamlessly. [Dusk] - Every 75th death gibs now. [Dusk] - New maplist: AOW01: Red Zone AOW02: Barrens AOW03: Oasis AOW04: Glacier AOW05: Valley AOW06: Floating City AOW07: Canyon AOW08: Renegade 2030 AOW09: Infected AOW10: Renegade 2032 - Added new map AOW11: Waste Plant by k4r4t3k4n4k4s. - Experimental grenade arc smoothening. [Bloax] - Added one more death sound from Red Alert which was somehow missing. [Dusk] - Lowered the razorwires, because they make doors inoperable by shooting at them. And basically shielded the building from any projectiles. [Bloax] + Added a new palette, made from scratch, introducing a whole new load of colors of use in software mode. [Dusk, Blox] - Gray range is largely different and provides more dark gray shades. - Dark red no longer fades to brown. - Purple range widened, olive range slightly, cyan range introduced. Orange and gold ranges are also very different. Saturated green replaced with a more doom-like green range with more contrast all across the entire palette. - IWAD fix TEXTURES lump introduced to correct out Doom 2 graphics since they still rely on the Doom 2 palette. [Dusk] - Lazily remapped the greens in the chemical Tumbling-Dead-Over animation. Also corrected the timing of the thud. (It hits the ground at frame Q, not V) [Bloax] - Added experimental missile launcher buff. (Homing missiles ought to be ridiculous.) [Bloax] - Remote C4 detonator now holds the check item for longer. This should fix the detonator not actually detonating all C4 in one press. [Dusk] - Added better repair/disarm/heal/whatever puffs. Yay. [Bloax] - Renamed all AOW2 textures with a more organized naming scheme. This should add much a convenience to mapping for this project, since mappers should not need to constantly keep finding textures. [Dusk] - Added actually "random" spread to the gatling gun. Also reduced the damage by 1d3 (thus 1) per shot. [Bloax] - Sprayer projectiles made slightly stronger, and somewhat faster. [Bloax] - Grenade launcher firing delay removed, slightly faster also. Secondary is quite a bit faster to allow some spamming. (The timed grenades suck, really.) [Bloax] - Added gloved fist sprites, replaced needless duplicate sprites with TEXTURES definitions. [Bloax] - Added fiery version of the Tiberium Autorifle, the Combustion Autorifle. [Bloax] - Created the Combustion Gunner class to wield the Combustion Autorifle. [Dusk] - Added new server CVAR aow_noteamswitcher, which can be used to enable or disable the team switcher without touching sv_noteamswitch. [Dusk] - Added printf* ACS functions I whipped up out of random.. maybe I find use for it someday. Or maybe someone else does? [Dusk] - Revamped donation code, making it cleaner and more responsive. Added new client-side CVAR aow_donateamount to control how much the player wishes to donate. [Dusk] - Made the repair gun cyan. [Bloax] - Added new client CCMD "donateall" that donates one's all credits equally amongst teammates. Also, when a player disconnects or spectates, their money is now auto-donated to remaining teammates. [Dusk] - Rewrote team switcher, performs instantly upon enter/disconnect now. [Dusk] - Some random debris sprites from explosions. [Bloax] - Patched marine compensation up.. AGAIN. [Dusk] - Added screaming sound for the berserk which is played while the player is morphed. [Dusk] - Attempted fix at suicide bomber posthumous screaming. [Dusk] - At close range explosion effects are now lesser. This could help against framerate drops when stuff blows up in your face. [Dusk] - Utility gun no longer has primary ammo. Only ammo type is the percentage display now. [Dusk] - Sparks and quite occasional piece of debris on puffs. More small details! [Bloax] - Renamed laser damage to energy damage, ExplosionMech damage type to anti-armor. [Dusk] - Bumped the weak autorifle maxammo up to 4, changed the tibrifle altfire, projectiles for both are now faster (about 1/4th), altfire shots are a bit slower and do less impact damage. [Bloax] - Advanced Tiberium Harvester no longer gets reduced damage. [Dusk] - Renamed client-side cvars to be prefixed with aow_cl_*. [Dusk] - Added a preferences dialog which can be used to set client-side preferences! [Dusk] - Made the missile launcher more usable with a slightly faster rate of fire, much faster projectiles and slower but much more reliable homing rockets. [Bloax] - Also some rifle grenade altfire changes, it's now less stiff and overall much faster. The grenade it fires it also pretty weird because it flies faster horizontally. So as to make it cover close-/midrange without much aiming. [Bloax] - Added powerup crate and superweapon beacon models from Dark-Assassin's AOW-Models.pk3. [Dusk] - Advanced tiberium harvester has the weak tib rifle now, as well as a price reduction to 600 [Eric] - Grenadier, tiberium autorifleman, and flamethrower are now barracks-independent [Eric] - Grenadier cost reduced to 450 [Eric] - Stealth troopers now have energy armor and their speed is reduced to 0.85 [Eric] - Iron curtain crate changed from invulnerability to +1000 health [Eric, Dusk] - Added aow_donationwait which controls how many seconds a player must be in game until they can donate. [Dusk] - Changed machinegun firing aound and smoothened out the firing animation. [Dusk, Bloax] - Added new mech HUD sprites, from ds-models.pk3 (original source UT2004's turret), screenshot rips courtesy of Jes. [Dusk] - Buffed the SMG primary fire a little bit. (Shots come in a quicker succession.) [Bloax] - Cropped the ages-old tagline from the welcome announcer sound. [Dusk] - Fixed: A bomb pack would leave a drop behind for a tic. [Dusk] - The above bug could be used to steal a suicide bomber's bomb pack with a melee weapon. However, it was deemed fair and thus exists now as official behavior. Meleeing a suicide bomber with chainsaw, fists or knife (thrown chainsaw does not count) gets you the bomb pack in your inventory which can be activated whenever. [Dusk] - Added a bomb pack crate which gives you said bomb pack inventory item. [Dusk] - New C4 sprites (eep) [Bloax] - New Inter/Title/Loser/Winner pics. [Bloax] - Doubled the threshold for the prepare-to-eject message so it should actually show up while you're still alive. [Dusk] - Moved array variables into a new file (which should not be imported by maps) to prevent map scripts from breaking. Maps should import aow2scrp.acs and a_mapconfig.acs, this gives them access to alter some settings (event scripts, disabling mechs, def events, more to come in the future) [Dusk] - Added HUD graphic for -1 armor. [Dusk] - Buildings are now vulnerable against anti-armor weapons - Renamed the Guardian to Juggernaut MKII. Tuned weapons to do more damage on buildings. [Dusk] - Reduced building healths by 10% across the board. [Dusk] - Team Revival crate renamed to Team Boost. In addition to healing all team mates, it gives 1 extra armor grade and 15hp additional max health. [Dusk] - Speed upgrade now only lasts 60 seconds, instead of indefinite. Increased factor slightly (1.25 -> 1.3). [Dusk] - Added a HUD element for powerup display, which shows the time left of powerups. [Dusk] - Added font graphics: bigfont by Agent Spork, used in Stronghold, smallfont by Mechadon, used in everything ever. [Dusk] - HUD Health display now uses more elaborate coloring. Dark green used on full health, yellow for medium health, blinking red health for critical and black when dead. [Dusk] - Obelisk: increased firing delay slightly and removed extra, redundant charging sounds. Use A_MonsterRefire to prevent firing even after target is out of sight. [Dusk] - Added randomized crate logic, a map can now have multiple crates and the actual crate will pick one spot of them. [Dusk] - Bomb crate can now be canceled by going into spawn room. [Dusk] - AI Marines now translate to a color very close to actual players. [Thetis] - Remote C4 now has a gray screen while inactive and turns to teamcolored screen when ready, cred. Thetis for idea. [Dusk] - Armor graphics are now dual-colored. [Dusk] - Corrected sandbag sprite naming, the sprites "rotate" properly now. [Dusk]
