2.35.0

Release: (TBA)

Bug fixes

• Fixed vehicle spawners autorespawn keyvalue not working as intended. Vehicles would never respawn if the previous vehicle carcass had been recycled.
• Fixed an issue causing vehicles to be sent less throttle input than expected. Expected multiplier input to physics engine was 1.0 (MAX), actual input was 0.92 because of a bad constant hardcoded in via joystick code. (Also effects keyboard input.)
  • This means vehicles will effectively have 8% increased throttle. This is unlikely to have a big impact on game balance.
• Fixed a bug causing non-solid emp_engineer_map_brush / emp_engineer_map_object entities to receive damage.
• Various bug fixes to env_projectedtexture
  • Also increased limit of env_projectedtexture entities from 1 per PVS to 9.

Maps

con_eastborough

• Ticket issues resolved.
• Map description has been updated/fixed.
• Slight adjustments to one of the flags.
• Changed the lighting and atmosphere, added weather effects.

as_escort

• 4x damage multiplier on the second flag's buildable bridge is now 2x - Respawn timer is unchanged. (60 seconds)
• Tweaked displacements around the last flag to hopefully prevent Brenodi being able to access areas they're not supposed to reach.
• Fixed some exploit spots around the first flag by tweaking the player clip brushes.

Other/Misc

• Change commander alert hotkey to jump to the most recent alert instead of cycling through the onscreen alerts.
  • This has been changed because new alerts weren't resetting the cycle position and the hot key was confusing to use. It now mirrors behavior typical to other RTS games.
• Updated the Empires FGD with various fixes and additions.
  • Vehicle chassis/engine/weapon ID's have been updated for vehicle spawner entities to work as expected.
  • Added various autovisgroup definitions for ease of hiding/selecting entities in hammer.
  • Added a new keyvalue to vehicle spawners to add a delay when respawning vehicles after a previously spawned vehicle is removed.
  • Updated and improved the FGD definition for env_projectedtexture.
