2.33.1

Release: (TBA)

Bug fixes

Updated the Source Engine SDK Base files to the latest version.
- Valve's patch notes for the update simply reads - "Numerous security and stability improvements."
Identified and resolved an issue causing Half-Life 2: Lost Coast content to be missing in the server packages. (Both Windows/Linux)

Maps / Level design

Minor update to emp_canyon

Fixed Cubemaps not being built when the map was last published.
All player/vehicle clip brushes have been remade, increasing accuracy in order to prevent players from using exploits to reach the top of the hills.
- B4 hill is now player/vehicle clipped and has restrictions in place for placing buildings.
Standardized core entity names to match other official maps.
Fixed the env_sun entity not displaying because of bad entity settings.

Minor update to emp_coast

Remade all clip brushes/comm/engy restrict brushes
- Fixed various exploit spots
Standardized core entity names with other official maps.

Minor update to emp_mvalley

Added player/vehicle/comm building clips to the high ground again. After hearing feedback from a lot of players, the majority of people suggested that they preferred the gameplay without high ground being accessible.

Script/Game Balance

Script changes are visible via the empires_scripts repo on our Gitlab. Please follow the link if you would like to check exactly how the script values have changed.

Vehicle chassis

Reduced BE AFV Max Weight by 10
Reduced NF Light Tank Max Weight by 10
Fixed a few issues with vehicle chassis armor angle values being slightly wrong. (Used for determining which side took damage)
- NF Jeep armor angle values were for the old model, these have been updated to reflect the geometry of the new model.
- Both command vehicles had non-symmetrical armor angles for the back of the vehicle. Only by a few degrees, however both have been updated to resolve this.

Vehicle engines

APC Engines' cooling has been reduced by 1.
Heavy Tank Engines' cooling has been increased by 1.
Removed researchable Artillery Engines as they served little purpose, standard engine has been adjusted to fit its new purpose and to be more fragile (with penalties).
Stalling Penalties have been changed to be less impactful for armor hits and more impactful for some hull hits and generally reduced stall on heat threshold penalties.
Horsepower Health Penalty has been increased slightly.
Bio Diesel has been tweaked so it's no longer "unstoppable".

Vehicle weapons

Removed High-Explosive Heavy Machine Gun
Artillery weapons have been slightly rebalanced.
- The trajectory of artillery projectiles have been adjusted.
- Weight, Damage, cycle time and heat have also been adjusted.
