*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 There's a lot of bits & pieces in this patch: * Option to use Direct3D (D3D) in Windows (use Options from inside the lobby). * Destructible world objects (trees, cactii, barrels, etc.) * Vacation option (can only set it once every 3 weeks, to stop abuse) * Deferred processing of town exit encounters, so that you can safely start a journey while not actually being available for a combat in the 3D world * To-hit tweaks ? making it harder to hit a fast moving car, irrespective of your own speed (this is also tied to weapon velocity, so missiles are affected more than car rifles or lasers for example); making it harder to hit a small target * Increased splash damage and improved accuracy of ballistic weapons: especially their continuous fire bonus * The pvp truce system. In a pvp battle, the squad owners are offered the option of offering a truce. They can (a) not offer truce, (b) offer truce, (c) offer fixed-size ransom (which is allowed to take their money below 0). All money is paid/received by squad owners. * Somerset is now pvp-free. * You can?t leave town with negative funds. * A successful scouting check will allow you to avoid pvp encounters * Removed auto context menu for Mac. They now have to right-click, like everyone else! I can make it into an option, if it causes problems for anyone. * In DRs, shooting now starts randomly at 15-40 secs. * Loading screen tips (more needed! ? see forum thread) * Increased the speed of in-game training (as opposed to the weekly training camp training) * Fixed bug with weapons assignments/targeting info. when you reconnect to a game in-progress * A few other little bugfixes ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 30, 2007, 11:42 pm

Jansan Vigilante Knights Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 1,070 Joined: May 7, 2007 There is nothing about this patch I don't love. Great stuff! Especially glad to see more in-game training. Great to see more reward for putting characters into harm's way. I hope this counts for more than just gunnery and large guns as well. ......................... vet Posted Jul 30, 2007, 11:58 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Quote: Option to use Direct3D (D3D) in Windows Regarding this point. There's 2 additional files you need to get from here, and unzip into the same folder as darkwindLobby.jar: d3d support files I will be putting them into the full game download, but they're not worth adding to the autopatcher. Some people find DirectX gives better frame rates than OpenGL. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 31, 2007, 12:16 am

Alocalypse Advanced Race Labs Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 2,236 Joined: May 6, 2007 Another batch of great changes, the CGL seems much better now and the destructible stuff is neat. The only thing I have a problem with is: *sam* said: * To-hit tweaks – making it harder to hit a fast moving car, irrespective of your own speed (this is also tied to weapon velocity, so missiles are affected more than car rifles or lasers for example); making it harder to hit a small target I've had 2 real scouts with the new system and I've found it very hard to hit anything moving over 50mp! I haven't had that much chance to test all this (just the 2 real scouts and 2 CGL test runs with a fast car) but I'm fairly sure it needs some more tweaking, but I guess there's always stuff I can do to adapt to the new way things work and I'm starting to get a few ideas. When I was testing it out I was trying to hit an out-of-ammo marauder with my rear machinegun (20 gunner) and with both of us moving at 50-70mph I had to let him close in to 30m before it gave me a reasonable chance to hit it and I could start firing... (which I think is pretty close quarters, just a little bit more and it's flamethrower range!) Also that was with probably an insanely high accumulated sustained targeting bonus... I think the relative speeds thing worked better, but the amount by which the difference in speed affected targeting should've been bigger. Also I think this change might make Evan Enforcers a bit too powerful considering how little they're worth as loot and how they're now probably the most accurate thing on the battlefield, being relatively low CR and very common aswell... ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Jul 31, 2007, 9:55 am

*viKKing* Skulls And Bones Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 4,249 Joined: Oct 12, 2006 I don't really agree with Alo here, I found the combat very well balanced yesterday. My ATG wasn't very helpful in middle range firing, but well, 20 skilled large gunners aren't that good... I think we need more testing to be sure the balance is correct anyway. ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Jul 31, 2007, 10:19 am

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Yes, of course the calculations are always open for tweaking. At the moment we have both relative speed difference and absolute speed of target taken into account, by the way. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 31, 2007, 10:49 am

Thats good - Im not sure of the ingame mechanics but the scoutskill is right now the easiest skill to train - it raises quite fast. ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Jul 31, 2007, 10:54 am

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Training form is a hidden training-speed factor that slowly changes over the course of several weeks; sometimes it can get stuck very high or very low for a few weeks at a time. The idea is that you keep an eye on your characters an observe which ones are receptive to training right now, and spend your time working on them. It's not related to activitylevel. What's the character's name? I'll check him. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Aug 4, 2007, 7:48 am
