Version/2.29.x

2020-08-08T13:18:01Z

DDDDestroyer: /* Mvalley */

== 2.29.3 ==
'''Release: (TBA)'''
=== Bug fixes ===
* Fixed a server crash relating to the emp_eng_map_brush entity.
* Fixed a bug with the "Never Give Up Never Surrender" achievement not being awarded.
* Fixed several issues with [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Soundscape Soundscape's] used in official maps.
** Fixed an issue with the emp_duststorm soundscape (It shared a name with a HL2 soundscape which had coast noises, now has it's own unique name without the wave noises)
** Fixed an issue with the emp_mvalley soundscape file (It had the wrong file name so it wasn't being loaded.)
** Fixed missing sound files and soundscape definitions for emp_crossroads
** Reduced ambient sound volume slightly in the sound mixer system.

=== Map changes ===
==== Cyclopean ====
* Tweaked lighting and HDR skybox textures to fix some issues with overly shiny textures.
* Removed the env_sun entity as the Skybox texture has a prominent sun already and this was making it appear to have 2 suns.
* Tweaked fog color as it was a little too bright.
* Changed HDR auto-exposure settings min 0.2 -> 0.3 / max 0.5 -> 0.6
* Embedded vmt files to override envmaptint for certain hl2 textures in use in the level. (Reduced their reflectivity)

==== Mvalley ====
* Removed high ground areas around main bases and in the north from play
''The high ground portions of the map have been a point of contention for a long time now. They are extremely defensible positions with limited approaches on an otherwise wide open map. This is mostly due to map size limitations, which prevent players from climbing up to the high ground in safe, more distant locations by way of an invisible wall. This isn't immersive and can easily frustrate players, who see a wide open approach but can never use it. As such, we have decided to modify the terrain in a way that prevents access to these portions of the map. It's a significant gameplay change to a level that has remained the same for many years, so we will be closely monitoring its impact. We also encourage you to share your feedback regarding it.''
* Added hard cover to C5
* Added ambient sound to dam building resource node
* Fixed clipping on fences in D1
* Fixed bug where players exiting a vehicle on a wooden bridge could get stuck inside it
* Expanded dam door override mechanic presentation
* Texture and displacement adjustments around the map

=== Other changes ===
* Added a default [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/VRAD#Lights_files lights.rad] file for use by map makers.

== 2.29.2 ==
'''Release: (2020/07/27)'''
=== Bug fixes ===
* Fixed a few issues with scout hide introduced in 2.29.1
** Fixed an issue where scout hide would trigger when you weren't crouched/prone
** Fixed an issue where grenades wouldn't remove scout hide

== 2.29.1 ==
'''Release: (2020/07/26)'''
=== Features ===
* Implemented Rich Presence for Steam Friends. [https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/enhancedrichpresence (More info on Steam Enhanced Rich Presence can be found here.)]
* Implemented Discord Rich Presence.
[[File:Discord-Example.png|thumb|Discord rich presence example]]

=== Bug fixes ===
* Fixed an issue where walls were not being removed correctly, causing servers to reach the entity limit very quickly.
* Fixed an issue with the BE commander model & BE APC model which made the bounding box appear incorrectly in command view.
* Fixed scout hide not being removed when the last bullet in the scout's gun is fired.
* Re-enabled and fixed a number of the achievements. (Hopefully all of them)

=== Script/Game Balance ===
* Removed the armour penetration effect to vehicle damage
** (Previously taking more than 30 damage at once, would mean the armour will take 90% of the damage and the hull will take 10%. This has now been removed.)

=== Other changes ===
* Players can now join any squad through the menu without having to join them sequentially.
* Updated PBR shader with latest changes. - https://github.com/thexa4/source-pbr

== Story ==
* [[The Story]]

== NF ==
Northern Faction is slightly behind the Brenodi Empire in terms of production capacity so tends to use slightly older manufacturing techniques to make their (future tech) products. This results in slightly bulkier (and often surdier) designs which look slightly less user friendly.

=== Architecture ===
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutalist_architecture
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalinist_architecture
* https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=brutalist%20architecture&tbs=imgo:1

=== Color ===
* #860000: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%23860000&t=ffsb&atb=v49-7__&ia=answer

== BE ==

Brenodi Empire has a fully formed industry resulting in more polished, user friendly products. This typically shows in products without sharp edges, compact and futuristic looking designs. This usually results in products being more advanced but more brittle.

# Goals
## Overall goal: The player is presented clear goals (e.g. overriding goals) early enough or is able to create her own goals and is able to understand and identify them
## Short-time goals: There can be multiple goals on each level (short-term and long-term goals), so that there are more strategies to win. Furthermore the player knows how to reach the goal without getting stuck
# Motivation
## The player is receiving meaningful rewards. The acquisition of skills (personal and in-game skills) can also be a reward
## The game does not stagnate and the player feels the progress
## The game and the outcome are perceived as being fair
## The game itself is replayable and the player enjoys playing it
## The game play does not require the player to fulfil boring tasks
## Challenges are positive game experiences and encourage the user to continue playing
## The first-time experience is encouraging
# Challenge
## The game is paced to apply pressure to but does not frustrate the player
## Challenge, strategy and pace are in balance
## The artificial intelligence is reasonable, visible to the player, consistent with the player’s expectations and yet unpredictable
## There are variable difficulty levels for a greater challenge
## The challenge of the game is adapted to the acquired skills. The difficulty level varies so the player experiences greater challenges as she develops mastery
## Challenging tasks are not required to be completed more than once (e.g. when dying after completing a hard task)
## The game is easy to learn, but hard to master
# Learning
## The player is given space to make mistakes, but the failure conditions must be understandable
## The learning curve is shortened. The user’s expectations are met and the player has enough information to get immediately started (or at least after reading the instruction once)
## General help displaying the game’s fundamentals exists and is a meaningful addition to the game and provides useful assistance before and during the game
## Tutorials and adjustable levels are able to involve the player quickly (learning) and provided upon request throughout the entire game
# Control
## The player feels that she is in control. That includes the control over the character as well as the impact onto the game world. It is clear what’s happening in the game
## The player can impact the game world and make changes
## The player is able to skip non-playable and repeating content if not required by the game play
## The game mechanics feel natural and have correct weight and momentum. Furthermore they are appropriate for the situation the player is facing
## The player is able to save the game in different states (applies to non arcade-like games) and is able to easily turn the game off and on
## The player is able to respond to threats and opportunities
# Consistency
## Changes the player makes to the game world are persistent and noticeable
## The game is consistent and responds to the user’s action in a predictable manner. This includes consistency between the game elements and the overarching settings as well as the story
# Game Story
## The meaningful game story supports the game play and is discovered as part of the game play
## The story suspends disbelief and is perceived as a single vision, i.e. the story is planned through to the end
## The game emotionally transports the player into a level of personal involvement (e.g. scare, threat, thrill, reward, punishment)
# Feedback
## The acoustic and visual effects arouse interest and provide meaningful feedback at the right time
## Feedback creates a challenging and exciting interaction and involves the player by creating emotions
## The feedback is given immediately to the player’s action
## The player is able to identify game elements such as avatars, enemies, obstacles, power ups, threats or opportunities (orthogonal unit differentiation)
## The player knows where she is on the mini-map if there is one and does not have to memorize the level design
## The player does not have to memorize resources like bullets, life, score, points and ammunition
# Visual appearance
## In-game objects are standing out (contrast, texture, colour, brightness), even for players with bad eyesight or colour blindness and cannot easily be misinterpreted
## The objects look like what they are for (affordance)
# Interaction
## Input methods are easy to manage and have an appropriate level of sensitivity and responsiveness
## Alternative methods of interaction are available and intuitive. When existing interaction methods are employed, they are adhering to standards
## The first player action is obvious and results in immediate positive feedback
# Customization
## The game allows for an appropriate level of customization concerning different aspects (e.g. audio and video settings, etc.)
## The input methods allow customization concerning the mappings. The customization is persistent
# Menu and interface elements (HUD)
## The interface is consistent in control, colour, typography and dialog design (e.g. large blocks of text are avoided, no abbreviations) and as non-intrusive as possible
## The menu is intuitive and the meanings are obvious and perceived as a part of the game
## The visual representation (i.e. the view) allows the user to have a clear, unobstructed view of the area and of all visual information that is tied to the location
## Relevant information is displayed and the critical information stands out. Irrelevant information is left out. The user is provided enough information to recognize her status and to make proper decisions
## If standard interface elements are used (buttons, scroll bars, pop-up menus), they are adhering to common game interface design guidelines

Total XP

2019-01-25T12:21:37Z

DDDDestroyer: /* Auto-Assign Bonus */

'''Total XP''' is a ranking system. The score from all games played on official servers will be added to a database and a rank will be shown the main menu of the game.

==Earning Total XP==
You earn Total XP on public servers. Once a game ends, all players that are in either NF or BE add their score to their Total XP. Only up to 100 points can be earned per game.

Total XP can only go up. If your score is negative at the end of a game you will earn 0 Total XP.

===Team Change Penalty===
Players that switched team during a match (including spec) will get a 50% score penalty at the end of the game.

===Auto-Assign Bonus===
Choosing "Auto-assign" on the team selection menu will give you a small bonus to your Total XP.

==Rank==
Your rank is shown in the lower left corner of the game's main menu. It is calculated by counting the number of players with lower Total XP than you. This means that the player ranked highest will have a rank equal to the number of players in the database.
