--------- KNOWN ISSUES - 0.17.1 --------
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
 +
------ GAMEPLAY -------
 +
 +
- If you are lucky, your pulse lasers occasionally will fire an additional laser pulse. Despite being useful in some situations, this is not intended. Sorry! :)
 +
- In the Coupled Unlocked mode, when the reticule is very close to the center of the screen, the torso will stop moving, but the reticule will keep trying to recenter.
 +
- BA SRMs always update in the HUD correctly whether they are selected or not, but only after they have been selected once after a respawn happened. After they have been selected, weapons can be switched, and they will always update correctly.
 +
- When left empty, each BA SRM tube needs to be manually reloaded (can be initiated by using the fire button)
 +
- BA hardmount MG cannot be fired during SRM reload while the SRM are selected
 +
- BA arm remains in position when hardmount MG is expended - weapon switch clears it
 +
- BA hardmount MG triggers "reloading" state on one of the SRM indicators when they are selected
 +
- BA hardmount MG lacks a muzzleflash effect. (it was heavily bugged) Tracers still work properly, however.
 +
- Bpod hit detection remains buggy
 +
- In rare cases directly after buying an asset, a mixed weapon group will only fire for one cycle and then stop. Works normally after that.
 +
- BA will show up as both air and surface targets
 +
- Upon entering a Heavy Vtol your Free Reticule setting will be forced to On (Off is not supported on them) since this is a global setting, next time you get in a mech it will still be on, so if you prefer off in mechs you will need to press the button to turn it off every time after you take a heavy vtol.
 +
 +
---- GAME SYSTEMS -----
 +
 +
- Crashes can happen. Workarounds are available in the Troubleshooting guide.
 +
- You might get stuck in the connecting screen. This depends on your ISP, but if that happens, a workaround is available in our Troubleshooting guide.
 +
 +
------- AUDIO ---------
 +
 +
- Due to a hack required for new leg sets and animations to create footstep sounds and footstep effects, all mechs will play one footstep sound anytime they come to a complete stop even though they are not moving.
 +
- The hellion has two footfalls at full gallop but sounds only play for one, this will be addressed going forward.
 +
-------- MAPS ---------
 +
 +
- TC_Palisades: Both ASF factories will only build one ASF at a time.
 +
- TC_Tukayyid trees may still cause some convergence issues when aiming directly at them. We are working on a permanent solution to this, but the most prominent issue with the trees has been resolved
 +
- TC_Scorched on low settings may cause blinding issues in the water
 +
 +
-------- HUD ----------
 +
 +
- Certain HUD elements might overlap other UI elements.
 +
- BA SRM ammo counter does not update until the weapon was selected and the reload on them was triggered once
 +
- There is a hang up in frames when you switch targets when using the tank HUD.
 +
- BA SRM ammo counter states you have one ammo when you spawn, which you do not. This could not be easily fixed as it is a default state problem rather than it reading your actual ammo. Once you switch to the weapon, it will read your actual ammo and update.
 +
 +
------ CONTROLS -------
 +
 +
- DirectInput Joystick support has been removed due to instability. You can continue using your joystick by following this guide: https://wiki.mechlivinglegends.net/index.php/Joystick_Setup
 +
 +
-------- VISUAL -------
 +
 +
- Enabling R_TexturesStreaming 1 will result in several material features being unsupported, which will cause several unintended graphical problems.
 +
- Sometimes solid yellow camo looks like gold on certain assets
 +
- Sometimes darker camos will appear to have a uniform sheen over them in certain lighting, this is because the gloss in diffalpha feature fails, which many older assets rely on for their specular data. It is unclear why this happens.

------------- VERSION 0.17.0 ------------
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
 +
----- GAMEPLAY ------
 +
 +
- New Assets
 +
- New Clan Light Mech Hellion (30t); ticket cost 3; tier 5
 +
  - Note that the called up missile box launchers will count as side torso but will fall off when destroyed and reappear when repaired (like uziel side torsos).
 +
This was done because splitting lightmech armor up into externals would be too punishing for survivability and the plug and play nature of the loadouts would make keeping track of them on the paperdoll a chore.
 +
-Known issue: the hellion has two footfalls at full gallop but sounds only play for one, this will be addressed going forward.
 +
- New Clan Medium Mech Lobo (40t); ticket cost 6; tier 7
 +
- New InnerSphere Medium Mech Enfeild (50t); ticket cost 7; tier 7
 +
 +
- Weapons
 +
- ERATMs now have kinetic-air damage type from missile for the purposes of bonus damage against aircraft.
 +
  This has also resulted in small bonus damage against tanks and hovercraft but since they were quite awful against those assets to begin with the difference will not be too noticable.
 +
- Reduced offset_factor(spread) of StreakSRMs to 1.3 from 1.4. Since spread will effectively decrease the further the missile cloud flies, the clan versions were hitting more accurately at their max range than their IS counterparts were hitting at their own maxrange, this should alliviate the problem.
 +
- Increased firing speed of the MRM40 so that the total firing time better matches the 30 and 20.
 +
- Removed trivial (.003) heat from Mgun firing and set it to 0, while they never gained any heat from firing this might have been reducing cooling while firing by adding nonzero heat.
 +
- Reduced maxspread on Mguns to .3 from .4
 +
- Added Vtol_UAC20 variant which flies slower and only to ground max range (~350m) for use on the Anhur.
 +
 +
- Shadowcat
 +
- Fix for missing halfton on the Prime (went into armor)
 +
- Fix for overtonnage on the F; (lost some armor and a heatsink)
 +
 +
- Harasser
 +
- Retooled massbox and suspension/engine setup in an attempt to address stability issues with remaining upright.
 +
 +
- Orion
 +
- Changed forward buy rules to be based off engine type rather than speed. All XL engines are backbuy while all Light engines are forward buy.
 +
 +
- Warhammer
 +
- Reduced base chassis cost by 1k.
 +
- Tier 10->9
 +
 +
- Rifleman
 +
- Tier 8->9
 +
 +
- Bushwacker
 +
- Increased max turn-speed to 1.1 from 1.0
 +
 +
- Warhawk(Masakari)
 +
- Increased maxheat curve to 915c from 900c.
 +
  The warhawk in CBT was based heavily on high heat energy loadouts+targeting computer; since we dont have a targeting computer and our heat system is more punishing to clan mechs overall than it is in CBT,
 +
          we've slightly increased the heat capacity of the warhawk against all other mechs to help it better standout in its role against competing options.
 +
 +
- Anhur/Karnov
 +
- Tweaked the following damage modifiers; Energy 1.0x->1.1x; Energy-air 1.05x -> 1.1x; Heavykinetic 1.0x->1.2x.
 +
While Hvtol survivability is in a good place when being properly teamshot (as they usually will be) the damage from lasers and Gauss was a bit disappointing when managing to hit them.
 +
 +
- Variant tweaks or changes
 +
- Regulator Prime, E - Morrigu Prime - Demolisher Prime
 +
 +
------ BUG FIXES ------
 +
 +
- Fixed Warhammer lowerarms not following free reticule properly.
 +
- Fixed Huit normals texture being incorrect file type.
 +
- Fixed various material errors which may have been taxing the game causing instability.
 +
- Fixed Loki lower arms not following free reticule properly and having hitbox issues.
 +
- Fixed silent UAC2s on Corsair B
 +
- Fixed missing buy menu data on Vtols and Orion falsely claiming to have a STD engine rather than a Lt engine.
 +
 +
------- AUDIO ---------
 +
 +
- Note; due to heavily outdated project source files having to be used to add new mech engine sounds, some mech sound tweaks from the past few updates might no longer be included. =/
 +
 +
---- GAME SYSTEMS -----
 +
 +
- Recompressed and optimized entire texture library for more efficent vram usage; this includes all major paks and resulted in significant storage savings for some of them. Further, this may reduce performance drain from the HUD elements as the were completely uncompressed!
 +
- CapturePoint can now be triggered manually, enabling flow graph re-synchronization across clients. (mapper stuff)
 +
 +
------ VISUAL ------
 +
 +
- Retooled the materials and texture sets for every single playable vehicle to save on vram when possible and improve usage of specular layers for better detail visibility.
 +
- All camo materials are now based on their original materials rather than a blanket standard one which should mean they better retain their details and look less bland.
 +
- Updated default graphics.cfg and autoexec.cfg.

 +
- Adjusted critical engine modifier to 0.7 engine power from 0.6 to give them minimal ability to fly.

-Added normal maps for following existing cockpits:
 +
-Commando
 +
-Sunder
 +
-CauldronBorn
 +
 +
-Fixed wonky UVs causing stretchy textures in Uziel cockpit.
 +
 +
------ BUG FIXES ------
 +
 +
- Fixed syntax error in actionmaps.xml/defaultprofile/actionmapper which was causing some binds to not stick/constantly reset.
 +
- Fixed Jumping Orions sometimes losing all jumpjet fuel and gaining infinite heat capacity (missing leg mass).
 +
- Fixed missing RecoillessRifle modifiers on the Regulator.
 +
- Restored a half ton of Ryoken B which was missing.
 +
 +
---- GAME SYSTEMS -----
 +
 +
- Updated graphics.cfg to include most of the updated balanced user.cfg setting used on the wiki. Better shadow rendering, SSAO on by default for everything not to look so dull/flat, dyntexmaxsize to reduce fps drops on texture heavy locations.
 +
Also included the function hot keys from the wiki that do:
 +
    F4 toggles shadow rendering (disabling all shadows will increase FPS)
 +
  F9 toggles Shader post processing (Very slightly increases FPS but some maps look dull / desaturated with it disabled, removes depth of field blur effect while zooming, removes god-rays and shimmering underwater effects)
 +
  F10 toggles Crysis's FPS counter
 +
    F11 toggles net_channelstats - use to diagnose red-x / lossy connection to servers. Check the troubleshooting wiki for net_channelstats details
 +
  PAUSE toggles HUD - for screenshots

-----------------------------------------
 +
--------- KNOWN ISSUES - 0.16.1 --------
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
 +
------ GAMEPLAY -------
 +
 +
- If you are lucky, your pulse lasers occasionally will fire an additional laser pulse. Despite being useful in some situations, this is not intended. Sorry! :)
 +
- In the Coupled Unlocked mode, when the reticule is very close to the center of the screen, the torso will stop moving, but the reticule will keep trying to recenter.
 +
- BA SRMs always update in the HUD correctly whether they are selected or not, but only after they have been selected once after a respawn happened. After they have been selected, weapons can be switched, and they will always update correctly.
 +
- When left empty, each BA SRM tube needs to be manually reloaded (can be initiated by using the fire button)
 +
- BA hardmount MG cannot be fired during SRM reload while the SRM are selected
 +
- BA arm remains in position when hardmount MG is expended - weapon switch clears it
 +
- BA hardmount MG triggers "reloading" state on one of the SRM indicators when they are selected
 +
- BA hardmount MG lacks a muzzleflash effect. (it was heavily bugged) Tracers still work properly, however.
 +
- Bpod hit detection remains buggy
 +
- In rare cases directly after buying an asset, a mixed weapon group will only fire for one cycle and then stop. Works normally after that.
 +
- BA will show up as both air and surface targets
 +
- Upon entering a Heavy Vtol your Free Reticule setting will be forced to On (Off is not supported on them) since this is a global setting, next time you get in a mech it will still be on, so if you prefer off in mechs you will need to press the button to turn it off every time after you take a heavy vtol.
 +
 +
---- GAME SYSTEMS -----
 +
 +
- Crashes can happen. Workarounds are available in the Troubleshooting guide.
 +
- You might get stuck in the connecting screen. This depends on your ISP, but if that happens, a workaround is available in our Troubleshooting guide.
 +
 +
------- AUDIO ---------
 +
 +
- Due to a hack required for new leg sets and animations to create footstep sounds and footstep effects, all mechs will play one footstep sound anytime they come to a complete stop even though they are not moving.
 +
 +
-------- MAPS ---------
 +
 +
- TC_Palisades: Both ASF factories will only build one ASF at a time.
 +
- TC_Tukayyid trees may still cause some convergence issues when aiming directly at them. We are working on a permanent solution to this, but the most prominent issue with the trees has been resolved
 +
- TC_Scorched on low settings may cause blinding issues in the water
 +
 +
-------- HUD ----------
 +
 +
- Certain HUD elements might overlap other UI elements.
 +
- BA SRM ammo counter does not update until the weapon was selected and the reload on them was triggered once
 +
- There is a hang up in frames when you switch targets when using the tank HUD.
 +
- BA SRM ammo counter states you have one ammo when you spawn, which you do not. This could not be easily fixed as it is a default state problem rather than it reading your actual ammo. Once you switch to the weapon, it will read your actual ammo and update.
 +
 +
------ CONTROLS -------

- DirectInput Joystick support has been removed due to instability. You can continue using your joystick by following this guide: https://wiki.mechlivinglegends.net/index.php/Joystick_Setup

-----------------------------------------
 +
------------- VERSION 0.16.0 ------------
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
 +
---- GAME SYSTEMS -----
 +
 +
- Added sv_Leaguemode_buy_anywhere function allowing you to purchase any asset anywhere in the field via console command (I.E. buy IS_CommandoPrime or buy CL_OroD)
 +
- Added sv_leaguemode_instant_factory setting to build all assets in 1 second.
 +
- Added sv_leaguemode_warntime setting to configure duration (in seconds) of leaguemode activation HUD window.
 +
----- GAMEPLAY ------
 +
 +
- New Assets
 +
- New InnerSphere Heavy Vtol Gunship Karnov (60t); ticket cost 10; tier 11
 +
- New Clan Heavy Vtol Gunship Anhur (60t); ticket cost 11; tier 12
 +
Heavy Gunship Vtols are built off extrapolated rules for "support vehicles" and increased VTOL suspension factor beyond 25 tons.
 +
They generally are slower and turn and pitch slower (relatively much slower) compared to Light Vtols.
 +
In return, they have free reticule enabled and most all thier weapons in articulated turrets so they can obtain and track targets even with poor pitch and yaw speeds.
 +
In addition, half of the variants of the Anhur and Karnov have an Infatry Bay allowing BA to spawn and the other half have an Ammo Bay allowing nearby friendlies to reload. All variants have seats for BA ferrying.
 +
- Weapons
 +
- New Clan weapon AP Gauss Array (Anhur exclusive); fires high rate of fire fast flying burst of shots; the array contains 3 AP Gauss, each array has roughly the damage of three small lasers against vehicles plus light kinetic.
 +
- New InnerSphere weapon RocketLauncher-10 (Karnov exclusive); fires slow stream of high splash rockets directly forward; does not support free ton reloads.
 +
- Flamer damage modifier against vehicles increased to x0.1 from x0.025
 +
- Halved fire rate on air LBX5/10/20 and decreased to a third on the air LBX2. Splash damage is on air LBX to help them be more useful against ground and air targets from further away shooting from ASF, however their inclusion on Vtols was causing them to achieve far more DPS than intended.
 +
  Since ASF require another strafe set up to fire again, ASF should not be affected by these nerfs, Vtols however will retain the splash LBX versions but will be much more affected by these refire delays. The new refire times equalize their overall DPS with their ground versions when taking into account the additional splash damage.
 +
- Restored some splash radius back to air LBX5 following firerate change.
 +
- Reduced max ranage of Light Gauss on Vtols to 950 from 1200m.
 +
- Reduced max range of Air LBX2 to 1000m from 1350m.
 +
- Walked back some nerfs to the Cluser Arrow-IVs since they became useless.
 +
- Increased StreakSRM ammo per ton to 96 from 72; Increased inner splash by 0.1m; increased turn speed by 5; decreased offset factor(spread) by .05.
 +
- Returned HVAC/10 Ammo to Light Kinetic type.
 +
- Increased MPL range to 450m from 400m
 +
- Increased MXPL heat per shot to 3.8 from 3.4
 +
- Increased AC/20 heat per shot to 22 from 12
 +
- Reduced damage on UAC2 to 11 from 13
 +
- Normalized all Thunderbolt Fire Rates to match the Tbolt-20; better fire rate per launcher size was meant to benefit LRMs not Tbolts.
 +
- Reduced the amount of errant missiles in MRM40 missing even large targets
 +
- Increased Snubnose Thumper speed to 400 from 350, decreased bullet drop by 10%.
 +
- Increased cost of Vtol RAC5 (on hawkmoth) by 2k.
 +
- Donar
 +
- Increased ticket cost 4->5
 +
- Increased drag for up/down and left/right movement, also reduced engine power for lateral and descending movement.
 +
- Increased Missile Damage modifier to x1.0 from x0.85
 +
 +
- Hawkmoth
 +
- Fleshed out buildrules which had been vague since their introduction; lost 1 ton of armor as a result. (CBT Donar has far more armor than the CBT Hawkmoth, it is not as severe in MWLL but a difference is now respected)
 +
- Increased drag for up/down and left/right movement, also reduced engine power for lateral and descending movement.
 +
- Increased Missile Damage modifier to x1.0 from x0.85
 +
 +
- Orion
 +
- Darkened diffuse texture on material of default gunmetal paint to better match other assets.
 +
 +
- Hephaestus
 +
- Moved LRM20 on Heph A to clan version.
 +
 +
- Regulator
 +
- Moved TAG laser on D variant to the top of the turret.
 +
 +
- Shiva
 +
- Reduced Base Chassis Price of Attacker Class by 4k.
 +
 +
- Variant tweaks or changes
 +
- Schrek C - Avar A, B, C, D, G - Blanner D - CauldronBorn B, D - Cougar B - Orion G - Mauler C, G - Hollander C - Demolisher F - Catapult G - Avatar E - Archangel B - Locust C, D - Hellhound G - Huit D - Hephaestus A - Oro E - Shiva E - Behemoth P,B - Loki G - Hawkmoth C
 +
 +
------ BUG FIXES ------
 +
 +
- Reworked and improved Air Thunderbolts against all aircraft, previously they were extremely inconsistent depending on which ASF they were hitting and doing poor damage to Vtols overall.
 +
- Base LAMS will now shoot down Air Thunderbolts.
 +
- Rerouted missing texture pointers on BA Claw and BA Mgun
 +
- Reexported Longinus textures with correct settings (may have caused instability on DX10)
 +
 +
------ VISUAL ------
 +
 +
- Orion
 +
- Darkened diffuse texture on material of default gunmetal paint to better match other assets.
 +
 +
------ CONTROLS ------
 +
 +
- Removed Free Reticule settings from Mech tab in actionmapper and moved to Vehicle.
 +
- Updated Actionmaps version (beware this will reset your controls to default settings)

-------- HUD ----------

 +
- BA SRM ammo counter states you have one ammo when you spawn, which you do not. This could not be easily fixed as it is a default state problem rather than it reading your actual ammo. Once you switch to the weapon, it will read your actual ammo and update.

-----------------------------------------
 +
------------- VERSION 0.15.2 ------------
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
 +
 +
------ GAMEPLAY -------
 +
 +
- New Assets
 +
- New Inner Sphere Heavy Mech ; Orion 75t - Ticket cost 10 - Tier 11.
 +
Some variants feature Light Fusion engine which gives side torso transfer rates of 1.4x and back torso 2.0x.
 +
It comes in two speeds, 64kph and 75kph, the 64kph variants are forward buyable to help compete with more expensive clan heavy forward buys.
 +
Note: cockpit texture is not yet done and will be included at further date; foot placement on uneven ground while standing still may cause strange foot twisting like the warhammer, will attempt to fix later.
 +
 +
- Binary Laser Cannon. Slighty more damage than two IS ERLLs but more waste heat and less range. Recieves bonus damage against tanks and air but has a much longer recharge time.
 +
- Light AC/2 ; Light AC/5. Sized down versions of the standard AC/2 and AC/5 retain full raw damage but at the cost of range, splash area, and loss of light kinetic modifier (bonus damage against tanks). 
 +
 +
- Decreased Cluster Arrow outer splash area and increased missile spread to prevent damage against single targets being equal to a volley of standard Arrows (the intent was to less average damage landing).
 +
- Increased power of Base-LAMS to better destroy incoming bombs and arrows quickly.
 +
- Flattened locktime on LRM-15 and LRM-20 with the LRM-10 like was done with the CLRMS.
 +
- Added Vtol version of Air_RAC5 which has less range, splash area, and longer reload time to prevent the Hawkmoth G from being such a terror.
 +
- Increased Snubnose_Thumper Rate of fire to 7 from 6.
 +
 +
- Donar / Hawkmoth
 +
- Increased ticket cost to 4 from 3. Increased tier to 5 from 4.
 +
 +
- Variant tweaks or changes
 +
Archangel Prime - Argus D - Commando B - Mauler G - Chimera A - Warhammer E
 +
 +
------ BUG FIXES ------
 +
 +
- Changed Arrow IV on Daishi C to Cluster.
 +
- Reduced armor on Marauder by ~0.5 tons as it was over the max protection rule.
 +
- Hellhound proxy mesh tweaked on the torso in an attempt to prevent physicalized shots passing through when it is running directly at or away from you. (this issue has existed on flat shaped mechs for awhile now and it is doubtful can be fixed completely but hopefully this will help)
 +
- Fixed several ballistic weapons having a mismatch between the speed of their visibile tracers and the speed of the actual shell entities.
 +
- Fixed missing reactor sound on ArchAngel
 +
 +
------ AUDIO -------
 +
 +
- New IS laser sounds: Normal, ER, Pulse for ir and ground; Clan keeps existing ones
 +
- New sound Binary laser
 +
- New sound events for Light AC2 and Light AC5
 +
- New launcher, whiz, and explosion sound event for Arrow IV Cluster
 +
 +
-------- VISUAL -------
 +
 +
- Water impact effects removed for rapid firing projectile weapons to prevent game going power point
 +
- graphics.cfg updated so that missile smoke trails are active again

--------- KNOWN ISSUES - 0.15.1 --------
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
 +
------ GAMEPLAY -------
 +
 +
- If you are lucky, your pulse lasers occasionally will fire an additional laser pulse. Despite being useful in some situations, this is not intended. Sorry! :)
 +
- In the Coupled Unlocked mode, when the reticule is very close to the center of the screen, the torso will stop moving, but the reticule will keep trying to recenter.
 +
- BA SRMs always update in the HUD correctly whether they are selected or not, but only after they have been selected once after a respawn happened. After they have been selected, weapons can be switched, and they will always update correctly.
 +
- When left empty, each BA SRM tube needs to be manually reloaded (can be initiated by using the fire button)
 +
- BA hardmount MG cannot be fired during SRM reload while the SRM are selected
 +
- BA arm remains in position when hardmount MG is expended - weapon switch clears it
 +
- BA hardmount MG triggers "reloading" state on one of the SRM indicators when they are selected
 +
- BA hardmount MG is not yet textured.
 +
- BA hardmount MG lacks a muzzleflash effect. (it was heavily bugged) Tracers still work properly, however.
 +
- Bpod hit detection remains buggy
 +
- In rare cases directly after buying an asset, a mixed weapon group will only fire for one cycle and then stop. Works normally after that.
 +
- BA will show up as both air and surface targets

- New Air_Tag version of the TAG laser has less range than the standard ground variant (1000m instead of 1350m) for use on vtols so it is less obnoxious.
 +
- Decreased base spread on HVAC5 to .12 from .2

-----------------------------------------
 +
------------- VERSION 0.15.0 ------------
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
 +
 +
------ GAMEPLAY -------
 +
 +
- New Arrow IV ammo variant (Cluster) : Loaded into all single launcher variants, shoots twice as many missiles for half damage and smaller overall explosion radius; retains full missile HP to help break through LAMS cover; larger overall missile spread area and does not destroy narcs.
 +
- Moved Light vtols to new flight model designed to allow better directional movement at the cost of some pitch/roll freedom. Max downward pitch fixed to -45 degrees to prevent "ballooning" over ground targets that could not fire back.
 +
This new model is the basis for upcoming heavy vtols (old model was overly messy to build heavy vtols off of).
 +
NOTE: This model uses new actionmap commands so make sure to set them.
 +
- Reworked AC/20 to fire a burst of three shells for roughly the same DPS as the old model but with far more consistent supression on target. Increased shell flight speed to aid landing more shots.
 +
- Decreased AC/10 damage per shot from 42 to 40. Increased ammo per ton from 160 to 170.
 +
- Decreased ammo on AC5 from 128 to 90.
 +
- Decreased locktime on LRM20 from 2.5 to 2.25 to normalize with LRM15.
 +
- Decreased AECM radar malus effect from -700m to -600m; reduced lockon time modifier from 1.75x to 1.5x.
 +
- Halved reload time for all dual S/SRM launchers to give them some advantage compared to stacked single launchers.
 +
 +
- Blacklanner
 +
- Further decreased max turn rate and turn accleration to be closer to the Ryoken in performance, rather than still being clearly superior.
 +
 +
- Commando
 +
- Moved a bit of armor to the arms.
 +
 +
- Hawkmoth
 +
- Fix for cockpit window facing wrong direction.
 +
- Fix for floating landing gear wheel not retracting correctly.
 +
- Fix for some holes (flipped geo) in the cockpit.
 +
 +
- Huit
 +
- Moving single Arrow IV variants out of Artillery classification to allow for more forward spawns.
 +
- Classifying Huit F "The Senate" as an Artillery platform in the buildrules (is already classified in factory spawn), unlocking base chassis price adjustments to allow for better price tweaking. Price increased by 10k Cbills.
 +
 +
- Rommel
 +
- Increased turret rotation speed of Howizter Rommel to 55 from 40.
 +
 +
- Mars
 +
- Moved Prime and B to XL engines of equiviliant weight, resulting in 53kph speeds. XL engine is 25k cbills more expensive.
 +
 +
- Mithras
 +
- Fixed gearbox on Mithras E, resulting in correctly slower engine without sacrificing its ability to reach said top speed due to transmission issues.
 +
 +
Ares/Morrigu
 +
- Switched CLRM to "Mars" variant CLRMS (shallow arc/ better tracking) for the Ares and Morrigu Primes.
 +
 +
- Variant tweaks or changes
 +
- Lanner G - Bloodasp B - Cauldronborn B/E - Donar F/G - Epona D - Huit D - Archangel Prime/B/C - Atlas D - Chevalier B - Chimera E - Harasser C - Osiris G - Schrek C/G - Uziel D - Sunder Prime/B - Fafnir G - Commando B/F - Cougar D - Mars F
 +
- Partisan E - Hellhound P - Kodiak G - Atlas F - Demolisher D
 +
 +
-------- MAPS ---------
 +
 +
- TC_Palisades: Extended the center brigde capzone to the bottom of the river.
 +
- TC_Canyons: Added two capzones to official version.
 +
 +
 +
------ BUG FIXES ------
 +
 +
- Fix for missing light kinetic modifier against Shoden hull.
 +
- Fixed Donar engine particle effects firing the wrong direction (shooting up into the body and cockpit).

Version 0.14.7
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
--------- KNOWN ISSUES - 0.14.7 ---------
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
 +
------ GAMEPLAY -------
 +
 +
- If you are lucky, your pulse lasers occasionally will fire an additional laser pulse. Despite being useful in some situations, this is not intended. Sorry! :)
 +
- In the Coupled Unlocked mode, when the reticule is very close to the center of the screen, the torso will stop moving, but the reticule will keep trying to recenter.
 +
- BA SRMs always update in the HUD correctly whether they are selected or not, but only after they have been selected once after a respawn happened. After they have been selected, weapons can be switched, and they will always update correctly.
 +
- When left empty, each BA SRM tube needs to be manually reloaded (can be initiated by using the fire button)
 +
- BA hardmount MG cannot be fired during SRM reload while the SRM are selected
 +
- BA arm remains in position when hardmount MG is expended - weapon switch clears it
 +
- BA hardmount MG triggers "reloading" state on one of the SRM indicators when they are selected
 +
- BA hardmount MG is not yet textured.
 +
- BA hardmount MG lacks a muzzleflash effect. (it was heavily bugged) Tracers still work properly, however.
 +
- Bpod hit detection remains buggy
 +
- In rare cases directly after buying an asset, a mixed weapon group will only fire for one cycle and then stop. Works normally after that.
 +
- BA will show up as both air and surface targets
 +
 +
---- GAME SYSTEMS -----
 +
 +
- Crashes can happen. Workarounds are available in the Troubleshooting guide.
 +
- You might get stuck in the connecting screen. This depends on your ISP, but if that happens, a workaround is available in our Troubleshooting guide.
 +
 +
------- AUDIO ---------
 +
 +
- Due to a hack required for new leg sets and animations to create footstep sounds and footstep effects, all mechs will play one footstep sound anytime they come to a complete stop even though they are not moving.
 +
 +
-------- MAPS ---------
 +
 +
- TC_Palisades: Both ASF factories will only build one ASF at a time.
 +
- TC_Tukayyid trees may still cause some convergence issues when aiming directly at them. We are working on a permanent solution to this, but the most prominent issue with the trees has been resolved
 +
- TC_Scorched on low settings may cause blinding issues in the water
 +
 +
-------- HUD ----------
 +
 +
- Certain HUD elements might overlap other UI elements.
 +
- BA SRM ammo counter does not update until the weapon was selected and the reload on them was triggered once
 +
- There is a hang up in frames when you switch targets when using the tank HUD.
 +
- BA SRM ammo counter states you have one ammo when you spawn, which you do not. This could not be easily fixed as it is a default state problem rather than it reading your actual ammo. Once you switch to the weapon, it will read your actual ammo and update.
 +
 +
------ CONTROLS -------
 +
 +
- DirectInput Joystick support has been removed due to instability. You can continue using your joystick by following this guide: https://wiki.mechlivinglegends.net/index.php/Joystick_Setup
 +
 +
-------- VISUAL -------
 +
 +
- Sometimes solid yellow camo looks like gold on certain assets
 +
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
------------- VERSION 0.14.7 ------------
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
 +
------ BUG FIXES ------
 +
 +
- Fix for missing helpers on Demolisher turret in hitbox data.
 +
- Fix for engine penalties on taking damage to back torso not working.

-----------------------------------------
 +
------------- VERSION 0.14.5 ------------
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
 +
------ BUG FIXES ------
 +
 +
- Fixed max throttle penalty for overheating not actually working, now you will be capped to 75% of your max possible speed for the duration of the overheat time.
 +
- Fixed missing DHS on hawkmoth C.
 +
- Returned serverdelete flag to sniper artillery shells to prevent screaming skull shells sitting on the ground making a ruckus.
 +
 +
------- GAMEPLAY ----------
 +
- Removed free ammo on BA SRM on spawn so they now start out empty. Note the HUD will lie to you and say you have some ammo until you switch to the weapon to update, This could not be easily fixed as it is a default state problem rather than it reading your actual ammo.)
 +
- Reduced flamer heat per shot (for user) to 5 from 6.
 +
 +
- Locking Longtom camera min/max pitch with cannon.
 +
Note: this is to test a theory that ghost LT shells are resulting from desync on the longtom cannon's pitch across clients, camera and turret min/max pitch constraints not being identical has been known to cause desync before (see Oro prolonged erection syndrome)
 +
since artillery shells use the "donotfollowcrosshair" flag to force the clients to agree on where the weapon is being fired from, the shell will spawn at whatever pitch the client shows, which would result in different trajectories across clients with only the LT user's perspective being the damaging one.
 +
This is a net negative for LT drivers QoL wise and will be reverted if it does not fix the issue.
 +
 +
- Harasser
 +
- Reworked massbox size and center of gravity to hopefully provide a more stable ride.
 +
 +
- Demolisher
 +
- Moved camera over to the side of the barrels rather than between them.
 +
 +
- Mars
 +
- Speed up Mars turret rotation rate.
 +
- Decreased turret rotation penatly when critically damaged.
 +
- Moved armor from the turret to the front.
 +
 +
- Variant tweaks or changes
 +
- Demo F, Ares Prime, Hawkmoth B/E, Thanatos F, Mars C/B, Behemoth Prime
 +
------- AUDIO ---------
 +
 +
- Reworked Betty pitch and tone so that she is more understandable in louder firefights.
 +
 +
-------- HUD ----------
 +
 +
- Removed distance indicators from the objective icons to prevent easy longtom zeroing, this was a feature never accounted for or intended.
 +
 
 +
-------- MAPS ---------
 +
 +
- TC_Wildlands
 +
- Added repair bays to the forward factories.
 +
 +
- TC_Thunderrift
 +
- Small QoL update. (Could be anything!)

------------- VERSION 0.14.2 ------------
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
 +
------ BUG FIXES ------
 +
 +
- Recovered unique solid red camo for Uziel
 +
- Schreck and Shoden added to material effects
 +
- TC capture UI no longer only shows 6 bases on a map, up to 8 now possible
 +
- Added kinetic air and energy air modifiers to masterlist so that they should now properly interact with BA and mechlegs.
 +
- Cleaned up mechlists.lua tables to perhaps help fix the new somehwat rare nulltable bug causing servers to disallow buying any vehicle after switching maps.
 +
- Fix for missing helper assignments on some blacklanner hitboxes which were causing some weapons to not be properly destroyed when the component was destroyed.
 +
- Heatsinks are properly accounted for during repairs.
 +
 +
------- GAMEPLAY ----------
 +
 +
- Maximum cbill transfer amount set to 5k from 10k.
 +
- Added server cvar (sv_cbill_trade_lock_time) [default= 10 minutes] to forbid cbill sharing for a set amount of time from round start to coincide with other ramp-up mechanics.
 +
- Added new "Suspension Kick" system to all tanks and hovercraft;
 +
- Default bound to weapon group 6, upon press the system will "kick" the tank back away from the direction you're facing with the turret. It can be used every 5 seconds.
 +
  Hovercraft and the Mithras have a less powerful kick for self-righting purpopses on a 10 second cooldown.
 +
(note: due to limitations the LT and rommel A will require you to deploy before using it probably not making it very useful for them)
 +
- New hit type for Arrows and LaserGuidedBombs will destroy narc beacons on contact from overkill.
 +
- Made Vtol wings fully repairable, no longer phyiscally drop their weapons when destroyed.
 +
 +

Version 0.14.1
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
--------- KNOWN ISSUES - 0.14.1 ---------
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
 +
------ GAMEPLAY -------
 +
 +
- If you are lucky, your pulse lasers occasionally will fire an additional laser pulse. Despite being useful in some situations, this is not intended. Sorry! :)
 +
- In the Coupled Unlocked mode, when the reticule is very close to the center of the screen, the torso will stop moving, but the reticule will keep trying to recenter.
 +
- Air LBX does not collide with mechlegs
 +
- BA SRMs always update in the HUD correctly whether they are selected or not, but only after they have been selected once after a respawn happened. After they have been selected, weapons can be switched, and they will always update correctly.
 +
- When left empty, each BA SRM tube needs to be manually reloaded (can be initiated by using the fire button)
 +
- BA hardmount MG cannot be fired during SRM reload while the SRM are selected
 +
- BA arm remains in position when hardmount MG is expended - weapon switch clears it
 +
- BA hardmount MG triggers "reloading" state on one of the SRM indicators when they are selected
 +
- BA hardmount MG is not yet textured.
 +
- BA hardmount MG lacks a muzzleflash effect. (it was heavily bugged) Tracers still work properly, however.
 +
- Bpod hit detection remains buggy
 +
- In rare cases directly after buying an asset, a mixed weapon group will only fire for one cycle and then stop. Works normally after that.
 +
- BA will show up as both air and surface targets
 +
 +
---- GAME SYSTEMS -----
 +
 +
- Crashes can happen. Workarounds are available in the Troubleshooting guide.
 +
- You might get stuck in the connecting screen. This depends on your ISP, but if that happens, a workaround is available in our Troubleshooting guide.
 +
 +
------- AUDIO ---------
 +
 +
- Due to a hack required for new leg sets and animations to create footstep sounds and footstep effects, all mechs will play one footstep sound anytime they come to a complete stop even though they are not moving.
 +
 +
-------- MAPS ---------
 +
 +
- TC_Palisades: Both ASF factories will only build one ASF at a time.
 +
- TC_Tukayyid trees may still cause some convergence issues when aiming directly at them. We are working on a permanent solution to this, but the most prominent issue with the trees has been resolved
 +
- TC_Scorched on low settings may cause blinding issues in the water
 +
 +
-------- HUD ----------
 +
 +
- Certain HUD elements might overlap other UI elements.
 +
- BA SRM ammo counter does not update until the weapon was selected and the reload on them was triggered once
 +
- There is a hang up in frames when you switch targets when using the tank HUD.
 +
 +
------ CONTROLS -------
 +
 +
- DirectInput Joystick support has been removed due to instability. You can continue using your joystick by following this guide: https://wiki.mechlivinglegends.net/index.php/Joystick_Setup
 +
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
------------- VERSION 0.14.1 ------------
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
 +
------ BUG FIXES ------
 +
 +
- Fix for Blacklanner missing a barrel helper on the right arm causing the barrel to be missing on some variants and the hitbox for the right arm bugging out onto the entire chassis on all variants.
 +
 +
------ VISUAL -------
 +
 +
- Halved the size of light AC muzzle flash effects so it is less blinding on some vehicles.
 +
- Removed first person spent shell effects from all weapons.
 +
 +
------- AUDIO ---------
 +
 +
- Distancing first person weapons sound events from impacts further because it seems that firing sounds still get stolen by impacts although they should not
 +
 +
-------- MAPS ---------
 +
 +
- TC_Enkeladus
 +
 +
- Disabled aurora effects in the sky to test if it helps with client crashes.
 +
 +
------ CONTROLS -------
 +
 +
- Removed shared key binds of legacy and new targeting functions in the default actionmaps, this caused unintended behavior as the two functions conflicted.
 +
The idea was to allow players to choose the legacy controls via an opt out while preserving old custom keybinds. Unfortunately it did not work out as intended.
 +
New Default binds are as follows:
 +
- E key uses new target nearest/next ground function
 +
- T key uses original cycle all targets function
 +
- G uses new target nearest next air function
 +
- All friendly functions remain legacy
 +
Anyone who chooses to retain their old bindings manually, please remember to clear any leftover conflicts in they keybinds for targeting.
 +
 +
Description how the next / nearest controls work:
 +
- press once = target nearest enemy
 +
- keep pressing after that = cycling through target list (next nearest -> furthest away)
 +
- after the time window for the next press (1.5 seconds) has expired the first press will target the nearest enemy again
 +
 +
- Removed obsolete presets in actionmapper.

 +
-------- MAPS ---------
 +
 +
- TC_Palisades: Both ASF factories will only build one ASF at a time.

Latest revision as of 02:27, 26 September 2024

Mechwarrior: Living Legends was first released on 27 December 2009. Since then several versions were released. This page covers the Mod changelogs for each release.


Versions history

0.17.1

Release date: 9 August 2024
Standalone: Yes
Changelog:

-----------------------------------------
--------- KNOWN ISSUES - 0.17.1 --------
-----------------------------------------

------ GAMEPLAY -------

- If you are lucky, your pulse lasers occasionally will fire an additional laser pulse. Despite being useful in some situations, this is not intended. Sorry! :)
- In the Coupled Unlocked mode, when the reticule is very close to the center of the screen, the torso will stop moving, but the reticule will keep trying to recenter.
- BA SRMs always update in the HUD correctly whether they are selected or not, but only after they have been selected once after a respawn happened. After they have been selected, weapons can be switched, and they will always update correctly.
- When left empty, each BA SRM tube needs to be manually reloaded (can be initiated by using the fire button)
- BA hardmount MG cannot be fired during SRM reload while the SRM are selected
- BA arm remains in position when hardmount MG is expended - weapon switch clears it
- BA hardmount MG triggers "reloading" state on one of the SRM indicators when they are selected
- BA hardmount MG lacks a muzzleflash effect. (it was heavily bugged) Tracers still work properly, however. 
- Bpod hit detection remains buggy
- In rare cases directly after buying an asset, a mixed weapon group will only fire for one cycle and then stop. Works normally after that.
- BA will show up as both air and surface targets
- Upon entering a Heavy Vtol your Free Reticule setting will be forced to On (Off is not supported on them) since this is a global setting, next time you get in a mech it will still be on, so if you prefer off in mechs you will need to press the button to turn it off every time after you take a heavy vtol.

---- GAME SYSTEMS -----

- Crashes can happen. Workarounds are available in the Troubleshooting guide.
- You might get stuck in the connecting screen. This depends on your ISP, but if that happens, a workaround is available in our Troubleshooting guide.

------- AUDIO ---------

- Due to a hack required for new leg sets and animations to create footstep sounds and footstep effects, all mechs will play one footstep sound anytime they come to a complete stop even though they are not moving.
- The hellion has two footfalls at full gallop but sounds only play for one, this will be addressed going forward.
-------- MAPS ---------

- TC_Palisades: Both ASF factories will only build one ASF at a time.
- TC_Tukayyid trees may still cause some convergence issues when aiming directly at them. We are working on a permanent solution to this, but the most prominent issue with the trees has been resolved
- TC_Scorched on low settings may cause blinding issues in the water

-------- HUD ----------

- Certain HUD elements might overlap other UI elements.
- BA SRM ammo counter does not update until the weapon was selected and the reload on them was triggered once
- There is a hang up in frames when you switch targets when using the tank HUD.
- BA SRM ammo counter states you have one ammo when you spawn, which you do not. This could not be easily fixed as it is a default state problem rather than it reading your actual ammo. Once you switch to the weapon, it will read your actual ammo and update.

------ CONTROLS -------

- DirectInput Joystick support has been removed due to instability. You can continue using your joystick by following this guide: https://wiki.mechlivinglegends.net/index.php/Joystick_Setup

-------- VISUAL -------

- Enabling R_TexturesStreaming 1 will result in several material features being unsupported, which will cause several unintended graphical problems.
- Sometimes solid yellow camo looks like gold on certain assets
- Sometimes darker camos will appear to have a uniform sheen over them in certain lighting, this is because the gloss in diffalpha feature fails, which many older assets rely on for their specular data. It is unclear why this happens.

-----------------------------------------
------------- VERSION 0.17.0 ------------
-----------------------------------------

----- GAMEPLAY ------

- Variant tweaks or changes
	- Warhammer A,C,D,F - MKII C

------ BUG FIXES ------
- Fixed torso missile weapons helper on Chimera.

---- GAME SYSTEMS -----

- Included a few more textures recompressions.

-----------------------------------------
------------- VERSION 0.17.0 ------------
-----------------------------------------

----- GAMEPLAY ------

- New Assets
	- New Clan Light Mech Hellion (30t); ticket cost 3; tier 5
	  - Note that the called up missile box launchers will count as side torso but will fall off when destroyed and reappear when repaired (like uziel side torsos). 
		This was done because splitting lightmech armor up into externals would be too punishing for survivability and the plug and play nature of the loadouts would make keeping track of them on the paperdoll a chore.
		-Known issue: the hellion has two footfalls at full gallop but sounds only play for one, this will be addressed going forward.
	- New Clan Medium Mech Lobo (40t); ticket cost 6; tier 7
	- New InnerSphere Medium Mech Enfeild (50t); ticket cost 7; tier 7 

- Weapons 
	- ERATMs now have kinetic-air damage type from missile for the purposes of bonus damage against aircraft. 
	  This has also resulted in small bonus damage against tanks and hovercraft but since they were quite awful against those assets to begin with the difference will not be too noticable.
	- Reduced offset_factor(spread) of StreakSRMs to 1.3 from 1.4. Since spread will effectively decrease the further the missile cloud flies, the clan versions were hitting more accurately at their max range than their IS counterparts were hitting at their own maxrange, this should alliviate the problem.
	- Increased firing speed of the MRM40 so that the total firing time better matches the 30 and 20.
	- Removed trivial (.003) heat from Mgun firing and set it to 0, while they never gained any heat from firing this might have been reducing cooling while firing by adding nonzero heat.
	- Reduced maxspread on Mguns to .3 from .4
	- Added Vtol_UAC20 variant which flies slower and only to ground max range (~350m) for use on the Anhur.

- Shadowcat
	- Fix for missing halfton on the Prime (went into armor)
	- Fix for overtonnage on the F; (lost some armor and a heatsink)

- Harasser
	- Retooled massbox and suspension/engine setup in an attempt to address stability issues with remaining upright.

- Orion
	- Changed forward buy rules to be based off engine type rather than speed. All XL engines are backbuy while all Light engines are forward buy.

- Warhammer
	- Reduced base chassis cost by 1k.
	- Tier 10->9

- Rifleman
	- Tier 8->9

- Bushwacker
	- Increased max turn-speed to 1.1 from 1.0

- Warhawk(Masakari)
	- Increased maxheat curve to 915c from 900c.
	  The warhawk in CBT was based heavily on high heat energy loadouts+targeting computer; since we dont have a targeting computer and our heat system is more punishing to clan mechs overall than it is in CBT,
          we've slightly increased the heat capacity of the warhawk against all other mechs to help it better standout in its role against competing options.

- Anhur/Karnov
	- Tweaked the following damage modifiers; Energy 1.0x->1.1x; Energy-air 1.05x -> 1.1x; Heavykinetic 1.0x->1.2x.
		While Hvtol survivability is in a good place when being properly teamshot (as they usually will be) the damage from lasers and Gauss was a bit disappointing when managing to hit them.

- Variant tweaks or changes
	- Regulator Prime, E - Morrigu Prime - Demolisher Prime

------ BUG FIXES ------

- Fixed Warhammer lowerarms not following free reticule properly.
- Fixed Huit normals texture being incorrect file type.
- Fixed various material errors which may have been taxing the game causing instability.
- Fixed Loki lower arms not following free reticule properly and having hitbox issues.
- Fixed silent UAC2s on Corsair B
- Fixed missing buy menu data on Vtols and Orion falsely claiming to have a STD engine rather than a Lt engine.

------- AUDIO ---------

- Note; due to heavily outdated project source files having to be used to add new mech engine sounds, some mech sound tweaks from the past few updates might no longer be included. =/

---- GAME SYSTEMS -----

- Recompressed and optimized entire texture library for more efficent vram usage; this includes all major paks and resulted in significant storage savings for some of them. Further, this may reduce performance drain from the HUD elements as the were completely uncompressed!
- CapturePoint can now be triggered manually, enabling flow graph re-synchronization across clients. (mapper stuff)

------ VISUAL ------

- Retooled the materials and texture sets for every single playable vehicle to save on vram when possible and improve usage of specular layers for better detail visibility.
- All camo materials are now based on their original materials rather than a blanket standard one which should mean they better retain their details and look less bland.
- Updated default graphics.cfg and autoexec.cfg.

	- Adjusted critical engine modifier to 0.7 engine power from 0.6 to give them minimal ability to fly.

- Karnov
	- Adjusted critical engine modifier to 0.7 engine power from 0.6 to give them minimal ability to fly.
	- Adjusted hitboxes on engines so that they're protected on sides by wing hitboxes so that you will no longer instnantly lose engines if you bump into objects from the side.

- Masakari
	- Reduced size of torso by ~5% on all axis.
	- Reworked hitboxes.
	- Moved torso missile spawn points forward to help prevent missiles appearing to spawn in cockpit effect.

-Fixed wonky UVs causing stretchy textures in Uziel cockpit.

------ BUG FIXES ------

- Fixed syntax error in actionmaps.xml/defaultprofile/actionmapper which was causing some binds to not stick/constantly reset.
- Fixed Jumping Orions sometimes losing all jumpjet fuel and gaining infinite heat capacity (missing leg mass).
- Fixed missing RecoillessRifle modifiers on the Regulator.
- Restored a half ton of Ryoken B which was missing.

---- GAME SYSTEMS -----

- Updated graphics.cfg to include most of the updated balanced user.cfg setting used on the wiki. Better shadow rendering, SSAO on by default for everything not to look so dull/flat, dyntexmaxsize to reduce fps drops on texture heavy locations.
	Also included the function hot keys from the wiki that do:
    	F4 toggles shadow rendering (disabling all shadows will increase FPS)
   	F9 toggles Shader post processing (Very slightly increases FPS but some maps look dull / desaturated with it disabled, removes depth of field blur effect while zooming, removes god-rays and shimmering underwater effects)
   	F10 toggles Crysis's FPS counter
    	F11 toggles net_channelstats - use to diagnose red-x / lossy connection to servers. Check the troubleshooting wiki for net_channelstats details
   	PAUSE toggles HUD - for screenshots


0.16.1

Release date: 25 July 2023
Standalone: Yes
Changelog:

-----------------------------------------
--------- KNOWN ISSUES - 0.16.1 --------
-----------------------------------------

------ GAMEPLAY -------

- If you are lucky, your pulse lasers occasionally will fire an additional laser pulse. Despite being useful in some situations, this is not intended. Sorry! :)
- In the Coupled Unlocked mode, when the reticule is very close to the center of the screen, the torso will stop moving, but the reticule will keep trying to recenter.
- BA SRMs always update in the HUD correctly whether they are selected or not, but only after they have been selected once after a respawn happened. After they have been selected, weapons can be switched, and they will always update correctly.
- When left empty, each BA SRM tube needs to be manually reloaded (can be initiated by using the fire button)
- BA hardmount MG cannot be fired during SRM reload while the SRM are selected
- BA arm remains in position when hardmount MG is expended - weapon switch clears it
- BA hardmount MG triggers "reloading" state on one of the SRM indicators when they are selected
- BA hardmount MG lacks a muzzleflash effect. (it was heavily bugged) Tracers still work properly, however. 
- Bpod hit detection remains buggy
- In rare cases directly after buying an asset, a mixed weapon group will only fire for one cycle and then stop. Works normally after that.
- BA will show up as both air and surface targets
- Upon entering a Heavy Vtol your Free Reticule setting will be forced to On (Off is not supported on them) since this is a global setting, next time you get in a mech it will still be on, so if you prefer off in mechs you will need to press the button to turn it off every time after you take a heavy vtol.

---- GAME SYSTEMS -----

- Crashes can happen. Workarounds are available in the Troubleshooting guide.
- You might get stuck in the connecting screen. This depends on your ISP, but if that happens, a workaround is available in our Troubleshooting guide.

------- AUDIO ---------

- Due to a hack required for new leg sets and animations to create footstep sounds and footstep effects, all mechs will play one footstep sound anytime they come to a complete stop even though they are not moving.

-------- MAPS ---------

- TC_Palisades: Both ASF factories will only build one ASF at a time.
- TC_Tukayyid trees may still cause some convergence issues when aiming directly at them. We are working on a permanent solution to this, but the most prominent issue with the trees has been resolved
- TC_Scorched on low settings may cause blinding issues in the water

-------- HUD ----------

- Certain HUD elements might overlap other UI elements.
- BA SRM ammo counter does not update until the weapon was selected and the reload on them was triggered once
- There is a hang up in frames when you switch targets when using the tank HUD.
- BA SRM ammo counter states you have one ammo when you spawn, which you do not. This could not be easily fixed as it is a default state problem rather than it reading your actual ammo. Once you switch to the weapon, it will read your actual ammo and update.

------ CONTROLS -------

- DirectInput Joystick support has been removed due to instability. You can continue using your joystick by following this guide: https://wiki.mechlivinglegends.net/index.php/Joystick_Setup

-------- VISUAL -------

- Sometimes solid yellow camo looks like gold on certain assets

	- Added sv_leaguemode_instant_factory setting to build all assets in 1 second. 
	- Added sv_leaguemode_warntime setting to configure duration (in seconds) of leaguemode activation HUD window.
----- GAMEPLAY ------

- New Assets
	- New InnerSphere Heavy Vtol Gunship Karnov (60t); ticket cost 10; tier 11
	- New Clan Heavy Vtol Gunship Anhur (60t); ticket cost 11; tier 12
		Heavy Gunship Vtols are built off extrapolated rules for "support vehicles" and increased VTOL suspension factor beyond 25 tons.
		They generally are slower and turn and pitch slower (relatively much slower) compared to Light Vtols.
		In return, they have free reticule enabled and most all thier weapons in articulated turrets so they can obtain and track targets even with poor pitch and yaw speeds.
		In addition, half of the variants of the Anhur and Karnov have an Infatry Bay allowing BA to spawn and the other half have an Ammo Bay allowing nearby friendlies to reload. All variants have seats for BA ferrying. 
- Weapons 
	- New Clan weapon AP Gauss Array (Anhur exclusive); fires high rate of fire fast flying burst of shots; the array contains 3 AP Gauss, each array has roughly the damage of three small lasers against vehicles plus light kinetic.
	- New InnerSphere weapon RocketLauncher-10 (Karnov exclusive); fires slow stream of high splash rockets directly forward; does not support free ton reloads.
	- Flamer damage modifier against vehicles increased to x0.1 from x0.025
	- Halved fire rate on air LBX5/10/20 and decreased to a third on the air LBX2. Splash damage is on air LBX to help them be more useful against ground and air targets from further away shooting from ASF, however their inclusion on Vtols was causing them to achieve far more DPS than intended.
	   Since ASF require another strafe set up to fire again, ASF should not be affected by these nerfs, Vtols however will retain the splash LBX versions but will be much more affected by these refire delays. The new refire times equalize their overall DPS with their ground versions when taking into account the additional splash damage.
	- Restored some splash radius back to air LBX5 following firerate change.
	- Reduced max ranage of Light Gauss on Vtols to 950 from 1200m.
	- Reduced max range of Air LBX2 to 1000m from 1350m.
	- Walked back some nerfs to the Cluser Arrow-IVs since they became useless.
	- Increased StreakSRM ammo per ton to 96 from 72; Increased inner splash by 0.1m; increased turn speed by 5; decreased offset factor(spread) by .05.
	- Returned HVAC/10 Ammo to Light Kinetic type.
	- Increased MPL range to 450m from 400m
	- Increased MXPL heat per shot to 3.8 from 3.4
	- Increased AC/20 heat per shot to 22 from 12
 	- Reduced damage on UAC2 to 11 from 13
	- Normalized all Thunderbolt Fire Rates to match the Tbolt-20; better fire rate per launcher size was meant to benefit LRMs not Tbolts.
	- Reduced the amount of errant missiles in MRM40 missing even large targets
	- Increased Snubnose Thumper speed to 400 from 350, decreased bullet drop by 10%.
	- Increased cost of Vtol RAC5 (on hawkmoth) by 2k.
- Donar
	- Increased ticket cost 4->5
	- Increased drag for up/down and left/right movement, also reduced engine power for lateral and descending movement.
	- Increased Missile Damage modifier to x1.0 from x0.85

- Hawkmoth
	- Fleshed out buildrules which had been vague since their introduction; lost 1 ton of armor as a result. (CBT Donar has far more armor than the CBT Hawkmoth, it is not as severe in MWLL but a difference is now respected)
	- Increased drag for up/down and left/right movement, also reduced engine power for lateral and descending movement.
	- Increased Missile Damage modifier to x1.0 from x0.85

- Orion
	- Darkened diffuse texture on material of default gunmetal paint to better match other assets.

- Hephaestus 
	- Moved LRM20 on Heph A to clan version.

- Regulator
	- Moved TAG laser on D variant to the top of the turret.

- Shiva
	- Reduced Base Chassis Price of Attacker Class by 4k.

- Variant tweaks or changes
	- Schrek C - Avar A, B, C, D, G - Blanner D - CauldronBorn B, D - Cougar B - Orion G - Mauler C, G - Hollander C - Demolisher F - Catapult G - Avatar E - Archangel B - Locust C, D - Hellhound G - Huit D - Hephaestus A - Oro E - Shiva E - Behemoth P,B - Loki G - Hawkmoth C

------ BUG FIXES ------

	- Reworked and improved Air Thunderbolts against all aircraft, previously they were extremely inconsistent depending on which ASF they were hitting and doing poor damage to Vtols overall.
	- Base LAMS will now shoot down Air Thunderbolts.
	- Rerouted missing texture pointers on BA Claw and BA Mgun
	- Reexported Longinus textures with correct settings (may have caused instability on DX10)

------ VISUAL ------

- Orion
	- Darkened diffuse texture on material of default gunmetal paint to better match other assets.

------ CONTROLS ------

	- Removed Free Reticule settings from Mech tab in actionmapper and moved to Vehicle.
	- Updated Actionmaps version (beware this will reset your controls to default settings)

------------- VERSION 0.15.2 ------------
-----------------------------------------


------ GAMEPLAY -------

- New Assets
	- New Inner Sphere Heavy Mech ; Orion 75t - Ticket cost 10 - Tier 11. 
		Some variants feature Light Fusion engine which gives side torso transfer rates of 1.4x and back torso 2.0x.
		It comes in two speeds, 64kph and 75kph, the 64kph variants are forward buyable to help compete with more expensive clan heavy forward buys.
		Note: cockpit texture is not yet done and will be included at further date; foot placement on uneven ground while standing still may cause strange foot twisting like the warhammer, will attempt to fix later.

	- Binary Laser Cannon. Slighty more damage than two IS ERLLs but more waste heat and less range. Recieves bonus damage against tanks and air but has a much longer recharge time.
	- Light AC/2 ; Light AC/5. Sized down versions of the standard AC/2 and AC/5 retain full raw damage but at the cost of range, splash area, and loss of light kinetic modifier (bonus damage against tanks).  

- Decreased Cluster Arrow outer splash area and increased missile spread to prevent damage against single targets being equal to a volley of standard Arrows (the intent was to less average damage landing).
- Increased power of Base-LAMS to better destroy incoming bombs and arrows quickly.
- Flattened locktime on LRM-15 and LRM-20 with the LRM-10 like was done with the CLRMS.
- Added Vtol version of Air_RAC5 which has less range, splash area, and longer reload time to prevent the Hawkmoth G from being such a terror.
- Increased Snubnose_Thumper Rate of fire to 7 from 6.

- Donar / Hawkmoth
	- Increased ticket cost to 4 from 3. Increased tier to 5 from 4.

- Variant tweaks or changes
	 Archangel Prime - Argus D - Commando B - Mauler G - Chimera A - Warhammer E

------ BUG FIXES ------

- Changed Arrow IV on Daishi C to Cluster.
- Reduced armor on Marauder by ~0.5 tons as it was over the max protection rule.
- Hellhound proxy mesh tweaked on the torso in an attempt to prevent physicalized shots passing through when it is running directly at or away from you. (this issue has existed on flat shaped mechs for awhile now and it is doubtful can be fixed completely but hopefully this will help)
- Fixed several ballistic weapons having a mismatch between the speed of their visibile tracers and the speed of the actual shell entities. 
- Fixed missing reactor sound on ArchAngel

------ AUDIO -------

- New IS laser sounds: Normal, ER, Pulse for ir and ground; Clan keeps existing ones
- New sound Binary laser
- New sound events for Light AC2 and Light AC5
- New launcher, whiz, and explosion sound event for Arrow IV Cluster

-------- VISUAL -------

- Water impact effects removed for rapid firing projectile weapons to prevent game going power point
- graphics.cfg updated so that missile smoke trails are active again

- Due to a hack required for new leg sets and animations to create footstep sounds and footstep effects, all mechs will play one footstep sound anytime they come to a complete stop even though they are not moving.

-------- MAPS ---------

- TC_Palisades: Both ASF factories will only build one ASF at a time.
- TC_Tukayyid trees may still cause some convergence issues when aiming directly at them. We are working on a permanent solution to this, but the most prominent issue with the trees has been resolved
- TC_Scorched on low settings may cause blinding issues in the water

-------- HUD ----------

- Certain HUD elements might overlap other UI elements.
- BA SRM ammo counter does not update until the weapon was selected and the reload on them was triggered once
- There is a hang up in frames when you switch targets when using the tank HUD.
- BA SRM ammo counter states you have one ammo when you spawn, which you do not. This could not be easily fixed as it is a default state problem rather than it reading your actual ammo. Once you switch to the weapon, it will read your actual ammo and update.

------ CONTROLS -------

- DirectInput Joystick support has been removed due to instability. You can continue using your joystick by following this guide: https://wiki.mechlivinglegends.net/index.php/Joystick_Setup

-------- VISUAL -------

- Sometimes solid yellow camo looks like gold on certain assets

-----------------------------------------
------------- VERSION 0.15.1 ------------
-----------------------------------------


------ GAMEPLAY -------

- New Air_Tag version of the TAG laser has less range than the standard ground variant (1000m instead of 1350m) for use on vtols so it is less obnoxious.
- Decreased base spread on HVAC5 to .12 from .2
- Increased rate of fire on Thumper_Stable to 8 from 6

- Variant tweaks or changes
	Donar D/C

-------- VISUAL -------

- Improved graphics.cfg to increase fps

------ BUG FIXES ------

- Reverted consolehide command from autoexec because it caused an old shader bug to resurface

-----------------------------------------
--------- KNOWN ISSUES - 0.15.0 --------
-----------------------------------------

------ GAMEPLAY -------

- If you are lucky, your pulse lasers occasionally will fire an additional laser pulse. Despite being useful in some situations, this is not intended. Sorry! :)
- In the Coupled Unlocked mode, when the reticule is very close to the center of the screen, the torso will stop moving, but the reticule will keep trying to recenter.
- BA SRMs always update in the HUD correctly whether they are selected or not, but only after they have been selected once after a respawn happened. After they have been selected, weapons can be switched, and they will always update correctly.
- When left empty, each BA SRM tube needs to be manually reloaded (can be initiated by using the fire button)
- BA hardmount MG cannot be fired during SRM reload while the SRM are selected
- BA arm remains in position when hardmount MG is expended - weapon switch clears it
- BA hardmount MG triggers "reloading" state on one of the SRM indicators when they are selected
- BA hardmount MG is not yet textured. 
- BA hardmount MG lacks a muzzleflash effect. (it was heavily bugged) Tracers still work properly, however. 
- Bpod hit detection remains buggy
- In rare cases directly after buying an asset, a mixed weapon group will only fire for one cycle and then stop. Works normally after that.
- BA will show up as both air and surface targets

-----------------------------------------
------------- VERSION 0.15.0 ------------
-----------------------------------------


------ GAMEPLAY -------

- New Arrow IV ammo variant (Cluster) : Loaded into all single launcher variants, shoots twice as many missiles for half damage and smaller overall explosion radius; retains full missile HP to help break through LAMS cover; larger overall missile spread area and does not destroy narcs.
- Moved Light vtols to new flight model designed to allow better directional movement at the cost of some pitch/roll freedom. Max downward pitch fixed to -45 degrees to prevent "ballooning" over ground targets that could not fire back. 
	This new model is the basis for upcoming heavy vtols (old model was overly messy to build heavy vtols off of).
	NOTE: This model uses new actionmap commands so make sure to set them.
- Reworked AC/20 to fire a burst of three shells for roughly the same DPS as the old model but with far more consistent supression on target. Increased shell flight speed to aid landing more shots.
- Decreased AC/10 damage per shot from 42 to 40. Increased ammo per ton from 160 to 170.
- Decreased ammo on AC5 from 128 to 90.
- Decreased locktime on LRM20 from 2.5 to 2.25 to normalize with LRM15.
- Decreased AECM radar malus effect from -700m to -600m; reduced lockon time modifier from 1.75x to 1.5x.
- Halved reload time for all dual S/SRM launchers to give them some advantage compared to stacked single launchers. 

- Blacklanner
	- Further decreased max turn rate and turn accleration to be closer to the Ryoken in performance, rather than still being clearly superior.

- Commando
	- Moved a bit of armor to the arms.

- Hawkmoth
	- Fix for cockpit window facing wrong direction. 
	- Fix for floating landing gear wheel not retracting correctly.
	- Fix for some holes (flipped geo) in the cockpit.
	
- Huit
	- Moving single Arrow IV variants out of Artillery classification to allow for more forward spawns. 
	- Classifying Huit F "The Senate" as an Artillery platform in the buildrules (is already classified in factory spawn), unlocking base chassis price adjustments to allow for better price tweaking. Price increased by 10k Cbills.

- Rommel
	- Increased turret rotation speed of Howizter Rommel to 55 from 40.

- Mars
	- Moved Prime and B to XL engines of equiviliant weight, resulting in 53kph speeds. XL engine is 25k cbills more expensive.

- Mithras
	- Fixed gearbox on Mithras E, resulting in correctly slower engine without sacrificing its ability to reach said top speed due to transmission issues.

Ares/Morrigu
	- Switched CLRM to "Mars" variant CLRMS (shallow arc/ better tracking) for the Ares and Morrigu Primes. 

- Variant tweaks or changes
 - Lanner G - Bloodasp B - Cauldronborn B/E - Donar F/G - Epona D - Huit D - Archangel Prime/B/C - Atlas D - Chevalier B - Chimera E - Harasser C - Osiris G - Schrek C/G - Uziel D - Sunder Prime/B - Fafnir G - Commando B/F - Cougar D - Mars F
 - Partisan E - Hellhound P - Kodiak G - Atlas F - Demolisher D

-------- MAPS ---------

- TC_Palisades: Extended the center brigde capzone to the bottom of the river.
- TC_Canyons: Added two capzones to official version. 


------ BUG FIXES ------

- Fix for missing light kinetic modifier against Shoden hull.
- Fixed Donar engine particle effects firing the wrong direction (shooting up into the body and cockpit).

------ BUG FIXES ------

- Fixed max throttle penalty for overheating not actually working, now you will be capped to 75% of your max possible speed for the duration of the overheat time.
- Fixed missing DHS on hawkmoth C.
- Returned serverdelete flag to sniper artillery shells to prevent screaming skull shells sitting on the ground making a ruckus.

------- GAMEPLAY ----------
- Removed free ammo on BA SRM on spawn so they now start out empty. Note the HUD will lie to you and say you have some ammo until you switch to the weapon to update, This could not be easily fixed as it is a default state problem rather than it reading your actual ammo.)
- Reduced flamer heat per shot (for user) to 5 from 6.

- Locking Longtom camera min/max pitch with cannon. 
	Note: this is to test a theory that ghost LT shells are resulting from desync on the longtom cannon's pitch across clients, camera and turret min/max pitch constraints not being identical has been known to cause desync before (see Oro prolonged erection syndrome) 
		since artillery shells use the "donotfollowcrosshair" flag to force the clients to agree on where the weapon is being fired from, the shell will spawn at whatever pitch the client shows, which would result in different trajectories across clients with only the LT user's perspective being the damaging one.
		This is a net negative for LT drivers QoL wise and will be reverted if it does not fix the issue.

- Harasser
	- Reworked massbox size and center of gravity to hopefully provide a more stable ride. 

- Demolisher 
	- Moved camera over to the side of the barrels rather than between them.

- Mars
	- Speed up Mars turret rotation rate. 
	- Decreased turret rotation penatly when critically damaged.
	- Moved armor from the turret to the front.

- Variant tweaks or changes
	- Demo F, Ares Prime, Hawkmoth B/E, Thanatos F, Mars C/B, Behemoth Prime
------- AUDIO ---------

- Reworked Betty pitch and tone so that she is more understandable in louder firefights.

-------- HUD ----------

- Removed distance indicators from the objective icons to prevent easy longtom zeroing, this was a feature never accounted for or intended.
  
-------- MAPS ---------

- TC_Wildlands
	- Added repair bays to the forward factories.

- TC_Thunderrift

		special state red = below min range on some or all weapons, special state yellow = damage drop off on some or all weapons
		see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RouNhxjunC0 for a detailed explanation.

-----------------------------------------

------ BUG FIXES ------

- Fix for Blacklanner missing a barrel helper on the right arm causing the barrel to be missing on some variants and the hitbox for the right arm bugging out onto the entire chassis on all variants.

------ VISUAL -------

- Halved the size of light AC muzzle flash effects so it is less blinding on some vehicles.
- Removed first person spent shell effects from all weapons.
	
------- AUDIO ---------

- Distancing first person weapons sound events from impacts further because it seems that firing sounds still get stolen by impacts although they should not

-------- MAPS ---------

- TC_Enkeladus

	- Disabled aurora effects in the sky to test if it helps with client crashes.
	
------ CONTROLS -------

- Removed shared key binds of legacy and new targeting functions in the default actionmaps, this caused unintended behavior as the two functions conflicted.
	The idea was to allow players to choose the legacy controls via an opt out while preserving old custom keybinds. Unfortunately it did not work out as intended.
	New Default binds are as follows: 
	- E key uses new target nearest/next ground function
	- T key uses original cycle all targets function
	- G uses new target nearest next air function
	- All friendly functions remain legacy 
	Anyone who chooses to retain their old bindings manually, please remember to clear any leftover conflicts in they keybinds for targeting.

	Description how the next / nearest controls work:
	- press once = target nearest enemy
	- keep pressing after that = cycling through target list (next nearest -> furthest away)
	- after the time window for the next press (1.5 seconds) has expired the first press will target the nearest enemy again

- Removed obsolete presets in actionmapper.

Release date: 26 October 2020
Standalone: Yes
Changelog:

 
Version 0.13.3
-----------------------------------------
--------- KNOWN ISSUES - 0.13.3 ---------
-----------------------------------------

------ GAMEPLAY -------

- If you are lucky, your pulse lasers occasionally will fire an additional laser pulse. Despite being useful in some situations, this is not intended. Sorry! :)
- In the Coupled Unlocked mode, when the reticule is very close to the center of the screen, the torso will stop moving, but the reticule will keep trying to recenter.
- Air LBX does not collide with mechlegs
- BA SRMs always update in the HUD correctly whether they are selected or not, but only after they have been selected once after a respawn happened. After they have been selected, weapons can be switched, and they will always update correctly.
- When left empty, each BA SRM tube needs to be manually reloaded (can be initiated by using the fire button)
- BA hardmount MG cannot be fired during SRM reload while the SRM are selected
- BA arm remains in position when hardmount MG is expended - weapon switch clears it
- BA hardmount MG triggers "reloading" state on one of the SRM indicators when they are selected
- BA hardmount MG is not yet textured. 
- BA hardmount MG lacks a muzzleflash effect. (it was heavily bugged) Tracers still work properly, however. 
- Bpod hit detection remains buggy
- In rare cases directly after buying an asset, a mixed weapon group will only fire for one cycle and then stop. Works normally after that.
- Chain fire settings will be saved but not loaded correctly in a newly bought asset

---- GAME SYSTEMS -----

- Crashes can happen. Workarounds are available in the Troubleshooting guide.
- You might get stuck in the connecting screen. This depends on your ISP, but if that happens, a workaround is available in our Troubleshooting guide.

------- AUDIO ---------

- Due to a hack required for new leg sets and animations to create footstep sounds and footstep effects, all mechs will play one footstep sound anytime they come to a complete stop even though they are not moving.

-------- MAPS ---------

- TC_Palisades: Both ASF factories will only build one ASF at a time.
- TC_Tukayyid trees may still cause some convergence issues when aiming directly at them. We are working on a permanent solution to this, but the most prominent issue with the trees has been resolved
- TC_Scorched on low settings may cause blinding issues in the water

-------- HUD ----------

- Certain HUD elements might overlap other UI elements.
- BA SRM ammo counter does not update until the weapon was selected and the reload on them was triggered once
- There is a hang up in frames when you switch targets when using the tank HUD.

------ CONTROLS -------

- DirectInput Joystick support has been removed due to instability. You can continue using your joystick by following this guide: https://wiki.mechlivinglegends.net/index.php/Joystick_Setup

-----------------------------------------
------------- VERSION 0.13.3 ------------
-----------------------------------------

------ BUG FIXES ------

------ BUG FIXES ------
- Fixed saving of weapon groups, a save will now happen 6 seconds after the last interaction with the weapon manager

-----------------------------------------
------------- VERSION 0.13.0 ------------
-----------------------------------------

------ BUG FIXES ------

- Fixed Air-StreakSRMs only reloading half tons after the initial ton was spent.
- Better aligned Air-RAC5 tracers to help prevent ghost tracers.
- Fixes for slight unintended damage variance on some ER lasers compared to their normal counterparts.
- Fix for Base LAMS not correctly destroying artillery shells. 
- Fix for reversing troubles on the Oro, Rommel, and Goblin
- Workaround fix for camo schemes not being applyed to the Pods and Barrels on tanks and hovercraft.
- Adjusted damage thresholds on auto turrets to prevent them constantly smoking after taking little damage.
- Fixed long standing issue with Oro cannon becoming severely misaligned. 
- Fixed issue with the arrows on the Regulator G not firing from the correct angles.
- Fixed issue with passive on Vtols not granting any additional radar cover, like ASF it was set to -1m, which was intended for ASF. Now properly sets detectability to 500m from 999m.

------ GAME SYSTEMS -------

- Added live Time of Day setting system: Server admins now can use new commands to instantly change the Time of Day in the current map:
  - sv_timeofdaygetinfo: Get current TOD status of the map.
  - sv_timeofdaysettime: Set time of day (0-24).
  - Note that not all of the maps properly support the whole day cycle.
  
- Update to Weapon Manager
	- Rapid fire ballistic weapons and flamers ignore chain fire mode and will keep operating in group mode
	- It is no longer possible to remove weapons from a group while firing them
	- Fire groups that only contain rapid fire ballistic weapons and flamers can not be set to chain fire.
	  An error sound will play
	- As soon as a weapon other than rapid ballistics and flamers is added to the group chain fire mode is available
	- When all other weapons get removed from the group and only rapid ballistics or flamers remain group fire will
	  be forced (Betty message)
	- Rapid ballistic weapons and flamers in a mixed group will be removed while firing. They will be re-added as
	  soon as firing has stopped.
 
-  Damage Modifier increases against ASF 
	- Mgun x2.8 -> x3.0
	- Energy-air modifier vs
		- Medium ASF  x1.6 -> x1.7
		- Heavy ASF   x1.6 -> x1.8
		- Assault ASF x1.6 -> x1.75

- Engine Damage Rework for Mechs
	- Previously, engines would go to 50% power when backtorso hit 80% damaged.
	  Now, STD engines will go to 85% speed at 80% damage and 75% speed at 100% damage.
	  XL engines will go to 66% at 80% damage and 50% speed at 100% damage.

- Adjusted Mass across all the Tanks to create a more logical weight curve for push fights.

- Reworked all front hit boxes on tanks and hovercraft so that more of the front profile is only covered in front hitbox rather than being split between front and sides.

- All fusion engine tanks now recieve 1 free HS per 20 tons of weight rounded down, and hovercraft half of this. This change is to better represent the importance of the ten free HS fusion vehicles recieve over ICE vehicles in CBT.

- Updating front hitbox transfer rates for tanks and hovercraft.
	Was incorrectly larger than turret transfer rate and is now lower.
	This will greatly slow down the rate at which some vehicles (particularly hovercraft) die to frontal fire.
	Turrets still always have more armor however.

- Increased Staretime(locktime) modifier for stealth GECM to 2.75 from 2.35.
------- GAMEPLAY ----------

	- AutoFlamer turrets target enemy BA/Mechs/Vechiles to 150m.
	- Stablized Thumper variant for the Behemoth; thanks to the large and heavy frame of the Behemoth it is able to fire its thumper piece without the need to deploy, however the fire rate is reduced to snubnose thumper levels.

	- Decreased Tier to 6 from 7.
	
- Long Tom
	- Added defense smoke launchers to the front of the tank to help cover its retreats; as with all smoke particles in cryengine2, can be very finicky about when it wants to render, particularly when zoomed in, but better than nothing.
	- Decreased top speed slightly.
	- Decreased missile modifier to x0.6 from x0.85, giving it more survivability against bombstrikes, missile fire, and counter artillery. 
	- Increased internal hull health to properly reflect its 95 ton weight.
	- All three variants now have full sensor suites and C3master systems.
	- Increased ammo per ton on all variants to 8 from 5.
	- Changed damage ratio on inner and outer splash to 50/50 from 66/33.

- BA SRMs always update in the HUD correctly whether they are selected or not, but only after they have been selected once after a respawn happened. After they have been selected, weapons can be switched, and they will always update correctly.
- When left empty, each BA SRM tube needs to be manually reloaded (can be initiated by using the fire button)
- BA hardmount MG cannot be fired during SRM reload while the SRM are selected
- BA arm remains in position when hardmount MG is expended - weapon switch clears it
- BA hardmount MG triggers "reloading" state on one of the SRM indicators when they are selected
- BA hardmount MG is not yet textured. 
- BA hardmount MG lacks a muzzleflash effect. (it was heavily bugged) Tracers still work properly, however. 
- Bpod hit detection remains buggy
- Mobile Long Tom may not be able reverse if the turret is alligned with the carriage. Turn the turret right to max offset to start reversing.

---- GAME SYSTEMS -----

- Crashes can happen. Workarounds are available in the Troubleshooting guide.
- You might get stuck in the connecting screen. This depends on your ISP, but if that happens, a workaround is available in our Troubleshooting guide.

------- AUDIO ---------

- Due to a hack required for new leg sets and animations to create footstep sounds and footstep effects, all mechs will play one footstep sound anytime they come to a complete stop even though they are not moving.
- For as of yet unknown reasons a wrong missile locking sound plays that is very hard to hear, if the asset possesses two or more different missile systems first the wrong sound plays until the system with lower lock time
  confirms the lock and after that actually the correct one plays. In this situation for each system a lock confirmation sound will play. This will be fixed in an upcoming update.

-------- MAPS ---------

- TC_Palisades: Both ASF factories will only build one ASF at a time.
- TC_Tukayyid trees may still cause some convergence issues when aiming directly at them. We are working on a permanent solution to this, but the most prominent issue with the trees has been resolved
- TC_Scorched on low settings may cause blinding issues in the water

-------- HUD ----------

- Certain HUD elements might overlap other UI elements.
- BA SRM ammo counter does not update until the weapon was selected and the reload on them was triggered once
- There is a hang up in frames when you switch targets when using the tank HUD.

------------- VERSION 0.11.1 ------------
-----------------------------------------

------ BUG FIXES ------

- Fixed killing players ranked above Point Commander or Major not awarding extra Cbills.
- Normalized the amount of cbills you get on a kill or assist per rank above you the victim was.

------------- VERSION 0.11.0 ------------
-----------------------------------------

------ BUG FIXES ------

------ GAMEPLAY -------
- Moved GECM on Shiva A to airGECM rather than ground based.
- Cleaned up some lua script errors reguarding buyzones and entering vehicles.
- Fixed some issues with ticket decrement ramp up.
- Adjusted vulture torso material slightly to match up with the legs a bit better.

	As a last resort to try and find out why the hit detection is so much worse on MRMs than any other missiles, we've removed the fly by wire tracking to see if this helps the issue.
	In return MRMs have decreased spread and double their flight speed. However, to prevent overwhelming performance at pointblank range (where SRMs should be taking over) their minumum arming range has been increased to 65m.
	If this does not help either, wire guidance may make a return.

- Removed raise animation from BA Recoilless Rifle 

- Point Defense System
	- Doubled HP of PDS to prevent annoying early fire death.
	- increased damage to 2.

---- GAME SYSTEMS -----

- e_clouds setting has been locked to 1 for gameplay reasons
- Rangefinder max distance doubled to 3000m 
- Both server and client will print the MWLL version and revision at startup in the log now
- The C-Bill donation system now prevents you from being able to donate money to a dead player, and will also show a warning on the screen.
- A log message will warn you when you try to change your name in a server where player renaming is disabled

------ GAMEPLAY -------

- ASF and VTOL ejector seats now actually push you out like actual ejector seats

- We continued our work on the BA. This iteration allows us to balance the health, armor, regeneration and damage modifiers for each single BA now.
	- BA now have inertia, instant strafing is no longer possible
	- BA jumpjets use a new performance curve, jump setting side to side and forward more responsive, 
	- BA jumpjets refuel delay reduced from 1.5 to 1 second
	- BA jumpjets max fuel slightly increased
	- Decreased air resistance and floatiness
	- BA SRM ammo is now limited to 8 in the players inventory + 1 loaded in each tubes (10 total)
	- BA grenades have been removed
	- Stocked BA SRM ammo will be removed when entering in a vehicle driver seat (APC is excluded from this)

	- Weapon changes
		- Flamer: heat damage slightly reduced

	- New weapons:
		- Light Machine Gun (replaces Bear AC)
		- Medium Machine Gun (replaces BA AC2)
		- Medium Grenade Launcher
		- Medium Recoilless Rifle
		- BA pulse laser
	
- Rework of the vehicle interaction system
	- Exiting from any vehicle driver's seat is not possible anymore while the vehicle's engine is running and when the related league mode option is disabled
	- There are 2 ways to leave a vehicle now: hatch escape and ejection sequence. Ejection sequence is available only on vehicles that come with an ejection seat. The ejection seat can only be used once.
		- Vehicles that come with an ejection systes are: Mechs, ASFs and VTOLs
		- Vehicles that DO NOT come with an ejection system are: Tracked and wheeled tanks, Hovercraft, APCs and Long Toms
	- By pressing the interaction ("F" by default) key while the engine is running, the ejection system will be activated, if present and not already used.
	- If the ejection system has already been used or it is not available, a new sequence is triggered in order to exit the vehicle: the hatch escape.
	- Hatch escape can be done anytime (unless league mode prevents it - in that case the vehicle would have to be shut down before), but unlike the ejection is not instant and needs 3.5 seconds in order to be completed. In this sequence, the vehicle will start the shutdown sequence and all the controls will be locked.
	- Shutting down will force the asset to stop, and lock all the controls for the whole duration of the sequence, which is 3 seconds
	- Shutting down during a jump is not possible anymore

- We reworked the heat punishment system, in order to make the whole system easier to deal with. Note that these set of changes are not meant to make the gameplay easier, but to give the auto-shutdown meaning which just used to be a net negative by taking control from the player and still taking all the damage from the heat incurred.	
	- We distinguish 4 different heat levels: safe, danger and overheat and off scale
	- In the safe zone (below the yellow line), the mech will never shutdown nor will take any heat damage
	- Reaching the danger zone (between the yellow and the orange line) only heatsinks will take heat damage. If shutdown override is not engaged, heatsinks will gain a heat damage resistance bonus. It will also make the vehicle visible to enemy radars at any range (heat spike radar penalty)
	- Reaching the overheat zone (over the red line) will cause overheat damage, and applies a different set of penalties. They will be removed 4 seconds after leaving the red line
		- Max speed cut to 45%
		- Weapons, jump jets and MASC / boost are disabled
		- Override will NOT prevent the movement penalties from being applied (weapon lock will be removed if you engage override)
	- If the vehicle takes more than 17.5% of heat damage to its main compoment (center torso / hull), it will start the auto-shutdown sequence.
		- As soon as the shutdown sequence kicks in, the vehicle will gain a 65% protection against heat damage.
		- After an auto-shutdown the vehicle won't be able to power up for 8 seconds.
	- As flying assets don't have an auto shutdown system, they won't be protected by this security system.
	- The shutdown override can be enabled at any time (default: H key), but once enabled it stays active for 60 seconds and cannot be disengaged manually, meaning that it has to be engaged manually every 60 seconds.
	- Vehicle and the heatsinks will always take full damage from overheating when override is active, which can be fatal in the red zone.
	- Single heatsinks will sustain much more heat damage than double heatsinks
	- When reaching the off scale point (900 degrees) the vehicle will immediately shut down.
	
- Selling vehicles is not possible anymore in LastManStanding and SolarisArena game modes
- Mounted turrets now will focus the currently selected target, if it's shootable, rather than engaging the closest one

0.9.4

Release date: 28 April 2018
Standalone: Yes
Changelog:

Version 0.9.4
--------------

--- KNOWN ISSUES - 0.9.4 ---


------ GAMEPLAY -------

- If you are lucky, your pulse lasers occasionally will fire an additional laser pulse. Despite being useful in some situations, this is not intended. Sorry! :)
- In the Coupled Unlocked mode, when the reticule is very close to the center of the screen, the torso will stop moving, but the reticule will keep trying to recenter.
- The Oro and Rommel cannot turn while reversing. 
- Air LBX does not collide with mechlegs
- The Rear Firing Laser auto turret fires when mouse1 is pressed.

---- GAME SYSTEMS -----

- Crashes can happen. Workarounds are available in the Troubleshooting guide.
- You might get stuck in the connecting screen. This depends on your ISP, but if that happens, a workaround is available in our Troubleshooting guide.

-------- HUD ----------

- Certain HUD elements might overlap other UI elements.

------ CONTROLS -------

- DirectInput Joystick support has been removed due to instability. You can continue using your joystick by following this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/MWLL/wiki/082joystickguide

---- AUDIO ----

- No cycle sounds for AC2 and 5, HVAC 2, Clan and IS UAC 5, 10 and 20 (will be fixed for live version)



------ BUG FIXES ------

- Pilot splat bug (when large ASF would land perfectly level but the pilot would be squashed leaving the plane intact) has been fixed on the Rusalka, Shiva, and Xerxes.
- Air MRMs should no longer attempt to follow tags.
- Added hard damage drop off at 800m on iHgauss to prevent hits past max range.
- Fix for Air LBX healing or instantly killing targets.
- The friendly fire red cross indicator won't show up anymore in spectator mode

---- GAME SYSTEMS -----

- Synchronized Voice and Chat mute
	- You can now mute text chat from another player by accessing the Scoreboard and using the Mute Voice Chat function or by typing "/mute playername" in the chat
- Refactored logging system
	- Tweaked the chat log (both client and server) for better readability
	- Added server log messages for player kills
	- Added server log messages for player renames (it includes also the GamespyID)
- New cvars: 
	- sv_allowPlayerRenaming : Default is 1. If set to 0, players won't be able to rename themselves while playing
	 	- Note that players can still rename themselves by quitting the game and changing the profile name through the launcher
	- sv_logKills : Default is 0, if set to 1, the server will log all the player kills and deaths
- Reverted server tick rate to 30hz
	60hz stresses too much highly populated servers, forcing more updates than the engine was designed to handle. This has likely caused an increase in warping and jittering.

------ GAMEPLAY -------

- Normalized engine damage from back section damage on ground vehicles to 75% from 70% to match mech engine damage threshold.
- Speed penalties for fusion tank engines reduced to 20%/40% speed reduction from 30%/60% reduction. ICE engines reduced to 20%/30%.
- Clan LRM launchers on Clan combat vehicles (tanks/hovers) no longer fire forward but fire at an arc like IS lrms. Forward firing behavior makes sense for clan Mechs which use the close on taraget doctrine. It does not work for clan vehicles which were designed as fire support meant to stay at range. This allows them to fulfill that role much more efficiently.   
- Decreased RAC2 heat from 1.32 to 1.1
- Increased RFL damage to CERSL level from SL level. Increased range to 500m.
- Increased IS LPL shots per burst from 2 to 3 and decreased ROF by 50%. Since IS LPLs lack the range to truly snipe, they now have more frontloaded damage to trade at midrange better. 
- Slightly increased max fuel of ATMs to allow more maneuvering
- Increased LPPC impact effect so it can be seen behind the tracer for better feedback on hit.
- Increased splash and screenshake on LPPC
- Increased inner splash of Longtom shots from 60% of total splash to 80% on all variants.
- Increased radar's target detailed information gathering range from 0.8 times the radar range to the same as the radar range

-------- ASSETS --------

- Mithras -
Adjusted suspension for slightly smoother ride
Decreased size of back armor hit box to prevent being damaged from the sides. 

- Osiris - 
Toned down cockpit screen brightness

Halved turret yaw speed for Rommel A (Thumper) 

- Atlas -
New Atlas F uses STD fusion engine from XL.

- Huit - 
Improved huit traction to attempt to lessen sliding during turns.

- Anubis - 
Moved some armor from side torsos to arms

- Thanatos - 
Resized torso and arm geometry and hitboxes so that the thanatos is not as assault mech sized. 

---- GAMEFLOW CHANGES -----

- Sell price increased to 65% max of asset from 50%. The hoped for economic effect of reduction to 50% was not observed.

- Decreased maxmium negative score from various sources to help prevent insane negative score bugs
- Mithras base chassis price decreased by 1.5k
- Demolisher base chassis price decreased by 1.2k
- Anubis base chassis price decreased by 1k

- Increased volume of laser impacts. Volume of HAG impacts lowered to have them more in line with other impacts 
- Slight Chevy engine sound volume increase and made boosting on the Chevy actually audible 
- Sound settings of Clan light, medium, assault reactors tweaked to make the speed governed elements more audible 

-------- MAPS ---------

- TC Oasis: lowered the hill at the IS airbase, removed repair from forward factories

Version 0.9.3
--------------

--- KNOWN ISSUES - 0.9.3 ---

GAMEPLAY
- If you are lucky, your pulse lasers occasionally will fire an additional laser pulse. Despite being useful in some situations, this is not intended. Sorry! :)
- If you are unlucky, instead, when you're landing in an ASF, sometimes the pilot will die, leaving the asset intact. This, unlike the (now fixed) Runway Fireball Syndrome, though, happens very rarely, so you must be really unlucky for this to happen.
- In the Coupled Unlocked mode, when the reticule is very close to the center of the screen, the torso will stop moving, but the reticule will keep trying to recenter.
- The Oro and Rommel cannot turn while reversing.

--- BUG FIXES ---
- At the first launch, the game should not give you a warning for modified files anymore. If that still happens, workaround is just to restart the game.
- TC_Oasis can be loaded at any graphic settings now.	
- Laser impact particle fixed so impact sound does now play
- TAG no longer plays fire sound on target of the tagging
- Turbine sounds on ASF no longer randomly change in pitch in cockpit but are instead bound to the throttle setting
- Fixed an error in an effects call in CL_Cougar_Mech.xml
- Atlas side torsos on XL engine models now have the correct transfer rate
- Fixed missing left particle bone for standard medium jumpjets

--- GAME SYSTEMS ---
- Gameserver admins now will be able to add maps without having to restart the gameserver by using this console command: map_dir_rescan
- Improved network performance of Thumper ammo
- Attempt to improve general network performance and reduce rubberbanding issues
- Fixed 32 bit client not starting up in some cases
- "Show all objectives" command logic reworked
	- It now acts as a switch, not as a button anymore. Pressing "o" key will show / hide map objectives in the HUD
	- It's disabled by default, but it's possible to load a custom setting by setting "hud_showAllOnScreenObjectives" cvar in the User.cfg file.
- Added server log message when a team runs out of tickets

--- GAMEPLAY CHANGES ---
- ASF based kinetic weapons (UAC10/ UAC5 and RAC5) moved from energy modifier to kinetic-air modifier.
	-These weapons now have a 1.2x modifier against tanks, 1.15x against hovercraft, 1.2x against ASF and VTOL, and 1.15x against Shiva and Xerxes
- 1.4x EMP damage modifier added to ASF to increase damage from PPCs
- Fusion engine based tanks now receive additional damage to internals from destroyed side or rear armor from 1.0x and 1.5x respectively to 1.2x and 1.6x. The Huit since it has a very small engine will only go to 1.1x and 1.5x.
- Hovercraft internal health increased to a factor of 645x10% tonnage from 500x10% tonnage
- Removed transfer rate modifier from the Front armor of Hovercraft into internals, it is now 1.0x from 1.6x
- ASF and Vtol hitpoints per ton of armor reduced by 5%, armor was relocated from outer parts to the body to compensate for the loss, resulting in more fragile parts.
- ASF damage effect changes: 
	-Engines now no longer fail completely when destroyed but go at a fraction of the speed like ground vehicles. 
	-All weapons and bombs attached to wings now fall off if the wing is destroyed. 
	-Wings and Tail loss result in degrading flight performance. If the engine is lost or both wings are lost, the aircraft does not have the lift required to take off again once it lands.
	-Lost parts cannot be repaired.
- All Mech Pelvises now count as Left and Right leg hitboxes split down the middle rather than as CT. AS it makes more sense that hip actuators are being damaged rather than the core which is much further up the mech. This may increase legging as a viable tactic due to legs receiving more average splash damage than before.

--- NEW ASSETS ---
- Mithras Clan Light Tank (25t)
- Anubis Inner Sphere Light Mech (30t)
- Rusalka Inner Sphere Heavy Aerospace (65t)

--- NEW WEAPONS ---
- Air_LBXes: increased pellet spread and added explosive pellets for better performance against ground targets and other ASF. Increased damage against ASF and Vtols.
- Light PPC: fires faster than normal PPCs for half the raw damage allowing for higher single point DPS and suppression, but has less splash and only 450m range. 3 tons. 
- Rear Firing Laser: auto defense laser mounted on the back of the xerxes and shiva giving them some self defense against fighters.

GAME SYSTEMS
	- At the first launch, the game might give you a warning for modified files, and therefore crash. Workaround is just to restart the game.		
	- Switching profile might trigger a profile logout, making you unable to see the server list. Workaround is just to restart the game

LAUNCHER
	- All the manual changes made to Server.cfg will be lost if you use the Sever Configuration prompt of the Launcher.
	
GAMEPLAY
	- Pulse lasers occasionally fire an additional laser pulse
	- "Pilot Splat Syndrome": Sometimes, when you're landing, the pilot will die, leaving the asset intact. This, unlike the (now fixed) Runway Fireball Syndrome, though, happens very rarely.

HUD
	- Certain HUD elements might overlap other UI elements

SOUND
	- Ballistic and missile weapons readiness sounds play also when the weapon is empty
	- Ballistic and missile readiness sounds will also play on the reload of an ammo ton and may overlap the ammo reload sound
	- Laser readiness sounds will even play when you leave your asset
	- Playback of reload sounds may fail on auto-reload and are outright broken on MRMs for the MRM to function correctly as a weapon
	
CONTROLS
	- DirectInput Joystick support has been removed due to instability. You can continue using your joystick by following this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/MWLL/wiki/082joystickguide

----- GAME SYSTEMS -----

- Switched to our own custom master server list / GameSpy Login service provider

- We moved to a better folder structure for the handling of the game data

	- In order to do this change, the installer will replace your current "autoexec.cfg" with our custom version, and will delete "server.cfg" and "levelrotation.xml" from the MWLL installation folder. Be aware that modifying this new autoexec file might cause issues.
	- You can use your custom autoexec by renaming it as "user.cfg" and moving to the new client data folder.
	- You can use your custom server configuration by backing it up and moving it to the new server data folder.

	- Client data folder is now My Documents/Crysis Wars/MWLL/Client  
		- This implies that, if you want to use a custom cfg configuration file, you must rename it as "User.cfg", and store it in that folder.
		- This will also be the location of the client logs (not the crash logs)

	- Server data folder is now My Documents/Crysis Wars/MWLL/Server
		- The configuration files (server.cfg, levelrotation.xml) will be loaded from that folder now (unless you start the server using a custom bat script)

	- Due to this new system, changing the user.cfg will no longer affect the actionmapper axis inversion setting.
		- The Actionmapper settings will be saved in Actionmapper.cfg

----- LAUNCHER -----

- The Launcher will log you in automatically now. There is no need to register / log in to Qtracker / Gamespy anymore.
- Fixed Launcher unable to recognize Debug / Release DLLs
- 64 bit mode is the default one
- The Launcher is now able to detect broken profiles and warn you before launching the game

--- ASSETS ---

NEW
	- Clan Avar Light Aerospace (35t)
	- Clan Xerxes Heavy Aerospace (85t)

UPDATES

--- GAMEPLAY CHANGES ---

FOV
	- Increased FOV from 60 to 70

WEAPONS
	- Changed unguided splash damage weapons (AC10/20, Hvac10, PPCs) from rocket code to new "explosive bullet" code. This should improve hit detection and may improve detection at high server loads.
	- AC Flak removed.
	- Tightened spread on STD and ER ATMs to prevent random misses against even stationary targets.
	- increased UAC2 and HVAC2 projectile speed to 3500 from 2500
	- HE ATM behavior reworked. 3/6/9/12 fire 1/2/3/4 missiles at a time respectively. Readjusted cone spread and decreased lock on time to 1 second.
	- Tightened burst speed for UAC10
	- Compacted AC5 and UAC5 burst length from 4 bullets to 3.
	- Small Pulse Lasers reworked. Burst increased to 6 shots from 2 and damage increased. Increased range of CSPL.
	- HVAC10 ROF increased to 20 from 17
	- Removed manual tracking on SSRMs to prevent odd star pattern at close ranges.
	- Increased ROF on Tbolts to match LRMs.
	- Long tom Ammos normalized to LongtomFar speed, uses gravity instead for ranges.
	- 8% Damage increase to all X-Pulse classes
	- Removed second laser on Medium laser base defense turrets.
	- ROF of RAC2 on EagleEye reduced to actual RAC2 ROF.

VEHICLES
	- Huit hitboxes reshaped to be more in line with other tanks (harder to hit sides from front)
	- Increased Huit max speed by ~9kph, max reverse speed increased to 33kph from 8kph. Decreased engine penalty for rear armor damage.
	- Slowed transfer rate from front armor to internals on all tanks.
	- Relocated armor from Oro front to Oro turret.
	- Increased reverse max speed of Partisan.
	- Avatar original canon 64KPH engine returned so that its full armor could be restored. No more squishy Avatars.
	- Small armor redistribution on Uziel from side torsos towards Arms and CT.
	- Uller model tweaked, hitboxes reformed, and armor redistributed.
	- Puma Cockpit art added. Hitboxes reworked on Puma to add survivability.

RETICLE
	- Free reticle re-enabled by default (Coupled Unlocked mode)
	- Coupled Unlocked mode has been reworked for increased smoothness
	- Increased responsiveness and torso speed while in Coupled Interactive mode

AEROSPACE
	- Flight model overhaul
		Now the maneuverability of each asset is dynamically calculated. The maneuverability decreases at low and at very high speeds. This means each asset has its own optimal turning speed
		Landing dynamic is more realistic. You'll end up landing with your nose pointed up, like real planes.

	- ASF Taxiing update: If you keep Decrease Throttle pressed, you'll be able to reverse the thrust and move backwards
		Pitching up is not possible anymore when taxiing at low speeds
		Notice that Decrease Throttle works also as an actual brake while landing on a runway.

	- ASF Classes
		The variants of each ASF come in 3 different classes, now:
			- Fighter (unavailable for Shiva and Xerxes): high maneuverability, high armor, high electronics, low price, small weapons. Unable to carry bombs.
			- Attacker: medium maneuverability, medium armor, medium price, medium weapons. Can carry bombs WITHOUT reloads
				This means that buying additional bomb ammos on attackers is not possible, even if you still have free tons available
			- Bomber: low maneuverability, low / medium armor, high price, heavy weapons. Can carry bombs with reloads

	- AirGECM now increases missile lockontime by 2.75x to give VTOLs and low flying ASF some counter against missiles spam.
	- UACs entirely redesigned for superior strafing performance.
	- Gauss charge time for Aircraft (ground are still fire on demand)
	- Missile weapons redesigned for aircraft performance and balance.
	- Small and medium laser classes maxrange increased for aircraft.

VTOLS
	- VTOLs will lose maneuverability while boosting
	- Removed extra damage modifier for missiles and energy weapons against VTOLs.
	- Increased extra damage modifier for Gauss and LBX against VTOLs.

LEAGUE MODE
	- Implemented a new command for league play: C-Bill Button
		This command works only if "sv_leaguemode_givecbills" AND "sv_leaguemode_enable" are BOTH set to 1
		The way it works is that any player who presses the "Home" key in the default key bindings (or types "givemecbills" in the game console and presses enter) will receive 100000 cbills IF the conditions mentioned above are satisfied
		The command will produce a message in the center of the screen, that will be visible only to the player who requested the command if the cvar "sv_cbillmessage_broadcast" will be set to 0 (default value). If "sv_cbillmessage_broadcast", the message will be visible to every player connected on the server.
		Whether "sv_cbillmessage_broadcast" is set to 0 or 1, the usage of the command by any player will always be logged in the server console (if the league setting is enabled)

------ WEAPON CHANGES ------

Pulse Lasers
	- All Standard Pulse lasers shots per burst reduced from 3 to 2 with heat and damage compacted into those 2 shots. (Note: the stray extra pulse is still present and is a complicated issue)
	- Large Pulse laser, Large X Pulse Laser, Clan Large Pulse Laser, range increased to 650, 750, and 850 respectively.
	- Heat on entire large pulse laser class has been decreased, more for LPL and XLPL, less so on CLPL.

PPCs
	- All PPC class functionally reworked. Instead of a single damage source spread evenly across a 3 meter radius, there are now two separate damage sources.
	  First damage source is primary hit location damage (0.5 meter radius) and is 66% of the damage of the shot.
	  Secondary damage source is the final 33% of the damage spread over 3 meters including the hit location.
	  Full damage of 0.7.1 CERPPC was roughly 2600 damage all told, corrected damage is now about 1550 all told, slightly more than a Gauss shot with a little bonus splash mixed in.
	  PPC particle effect now has a refraction trail.

SRM
	- SRMs now have a cone of fire effect rather than all firing perfectly straight forward, the cone will adjust to your approximate distance to target (tighter when far away, more spread out when closer up)
	- SRMs are now vulnerable to LAMS.
	- Damage slightly increased.

SSRM
	- SSRM tracking improved.
	- CSSRM now locks and flies to 450m from 350m.
	- SSRMs are now vulnerable to LAMS.
	- Damage normalized with SRMs.

MRM
	- MRM damage increased to match LRM damage per missile on a 1 to 1 ratio.
	- MRM launcher fire rate now tied to launcher size like LRMs are, smaller launchers will fire quicker.
	- MRMs are now vulnerable to LAMS.

LRM
	- Clan LRM now fires directly at a shallow angle (0.5m cruise altitude). Minimum arming range is ~25m (matching MRMs). CLRMs are now excellent all around closing weapons but inferior at providing support at range, particularly over cover, as per clan doctrine.
	- Decreased tracking ability on CLRM slightly.
	- Lock on time is now tied to launcher size, smaller launchers will lock quicker.
	- Increased lifetime on ELRMs so that they don't explode prematurely when making course corrections near their max range anymore.

Arrow IV
	- Arrows reworked entirely.
	  They are no longer single large damage missiles superior at tracking single targets.
	  Each salvo now fires 4 individual smaller missiles that will spread and blanket a small area around their target.
	  Arrows now come in at a steeper angle and fly higher to circumvent cover better, this has functionally increased their minimum range from ~300m to ~500m.
	  Arrow damage per ton doubled.
	  Exposed Arrow launchers (on mechs) will now explode for heavy damage if destroyed.
	  Single smaller faster targets will now be able to dodge arrows much easier, tightly packed groups will now take much more damage from arrows as they function more like artillery support now.

ATMs
	Standard
	- Fire rate decreased to give lighter assets better chance to dodge them.
	- Slightly increased health vs LAMS.
    - Now identified as ATM (STD)
    Extended
	- Slightly increased health vs LAMS.
	- Higher fire rate compared to Standard. Now on ground assets.
	- Fastest lock time.
    - Now identified as ATM (ER)
	High Explosive (New)
	- Very slow fire rate but very high damage and large explosion.
	- Very vulnerable to LAMS.
	- 300m lifetime and lockon range.
	- Slowest lock time.
    - Now identified as ATM (HE)
	HE ammo is superior at single target suppression but massed SSRMs will do more damage quicker.

Gauss
	- Gauss now explode in mechs with more consistency, only the Fafnir torsos are completely immune to explosions.
	- Increased shots per ton from 10 to 12
    Heavy Gauss
	- Decreased reload time to normalize with Gauss.
	- Now Requires bulky siege pod if ever in a mech arm (Thanatos)
    Improved Heavy Gauss
	- Decreased reload time to normalize with Gauss
	- Increased shots per ton to 6 from 5.
    Light Gauss
	- Now explodes when destroyed (smaller explosion and less damage than Gauss explosion).

UAC20
	- Now fires 3 shots instead of 2, damage per burst remains the same, adjusted shots per ton accordingly.

UAC10
	- Now fire 2 shots instead of 3, damage per burst remains the same, increased shots per ton slightly.

AC10
	- Reworked, again!
	  Now fires a shell with same splash radius and 75% of damage of an AC20 shot but fires 1.5x slower than an AC20. This should finally give it the umph required.

AC5/UAC5
	- Reworked, again!
	  Tightened up burst from 6 shots to 4 shots.
	  Increased damage significantly and slowed down fire rate significantly.
	  Removed all inherent spread.
	  AC5 now deals high damage but has long refire rate (5 second cooldown) this allows it to function as a long range skirmishing weapon akin to a Large laser.
	  UAC5 functions identically but has half the refire rate (2.5 second cooldown).

AC2
	- Reworked to match the AC5.
	  Damage sits more at an AC2.5 than true AC2.
	  Tightened up burst from 8 shots to 6.
	  Now excels as long range sniper weapon but makes inferior AA.
	  Counts as 3 tons from 3.5 tons in build rules.

UAC2
	- Reworked to function uniquely from the rest of the UACs.
	  Now fires a constant stream of bullets making it superior AA and good at wearing down targets caught in the open.
	  Damage close to a UAC3 than true UAC2.
	  Good support weapon but requires time to do damage so poor at skirmishing or brawling.
	  Damage per ton increased.

HVAC2
	- Unique weapon to the Mauler.
	- Functions identically to AC2 but travels to 1500m+ with less shots per ton.

HVAC10
	- Similar damage profile to AC10, slightly less splash damage.
	- Flies faster than an AC10 shot.
	- Max range ~900m.
	- Fewer shots per ton.

Mgun
	- Now has unlimited ammo. (INFINITE POWER!)
	- Will now overheat after 12 seconds of continuous fire and need to cooldown.

LBX
	- LBX2, 5, 10 spread slightly increased to match LBX20 spread at their max ranges.

Thunderbolts
	- Reworked, added some splash damage to fix the weird hit detection issues.
	- Can now lock on manually from 750m, flight lifetime at 1000m.
	- Now on select ground assets.
	- The missiles will track, however they are quite lazy following narc and locks so do not expect to hit a fast target with them unless you are very close or very far.

TAG
	- Increased Vehicle based TAG range to 1300m.

NARC
	- Improved tracking ability and flight pattern of narc missiles.
    - iNARC now last longer

Longtom Artillery overhaul
	- Camera won't pitch up/down anymore, so the predicted impact point will be always visible, no matter how high is the pitch of the cannon
	- There are now three longtom variants, the Prime uses standard ammo, which behaves unchanged from 0.7.1.
	- The A variant now uses short range ammo, which can only fly to ~1200m max and moves slower but creates less heat and chambers faster.
	- The B variant now uses long range ammo, which can now fly to ~2500m max range and moves quicker but creates more heat, chambers slower, and is harder to aim at closer targets.
	- Slightly increased Min/Max pitch angle of cannon by 1 degree.

RAC2
	- Increased max spread.
	- Normalized spinup time with RAC5.
	- Normalized reload time with RAC5.

RAC5
	- Slightly decreased spinup time.

Flak AC2
	- New weapon, high good damage vs aircraft but low damage vs ground forces.
	- 1200m range, functions similarly to fast firing LBX for maximum efficiency against aircraft.

Flak AC5
	- New weapon, functionally similar to AC2 but better damage. 900m range.

Flamer
	- Increased time needed to reach overheat allowing for MOAR BURNINATION.
	- Increased splash damage and area significantly, should allow for increased performance against BA on or near the ground or hiding in cover.
	- Added impact particle.

------ ASSET VARIANT CHANGES ------

	- All of em!
	- Infamous Shiva A and Donar A have been replaced

------ ASSET CHANGES ------

MECHS
	- Armor redistributed from legs towards the rest of the mech on all assault, heavy, medium, and stumpy legged lights (Uller, Puma, Cougar).
	- Armor and internal weights refactored and inconsistencies fixed. This was causing some mechs like the Thanatos, Black lanner, and Blood Asp to be squishier than needed.
	- Fibro Fiborous armor bonus protection honoured where applicable. Many of the lighter mechs were built off the technology and were squisher than needed.
	- Standard Jump jets now have better forward thrust.

ASF
	- Overhaul of ASF flight model.
	  Top speed of all ASFs has been increased.
	  Maneuverability has been tweaked to make flight model less twitchy and smoother.
	  Afterburner is way more powerful now, but it also heat up your asset faster
	  Maneuverability has been rebalanced. Sparrowhawk isn't the supreme air king anymore, and Shiva feels more like an 85T bomber rather than a 1kg RC plane.
	- Sulla A and D have 350XL instead of the default 315XL engine mounted in the other variants. This makes them more suitable for dogfights against Corsairs and SparrowHawks
	- ASF and VTOLs now have a default active radar range of 1500m and passive radar of 1000m, this applies both to their own radar and what range they can be detected at from the ground.
	- ASF/VTOL can no longer detect BA on their radar without the help of a ground based C3 relaying it to them.
	- GECM on aircraft makes them detectable at 999m from the ground rather than 1500m when active, however they are still detectable by other aircraft out to 1500m. (this is an issue with how GECM behaves in the code)

Shiva
	- Materials have been updated; Shiva doesn't look like a mirror anymore.

VTOL
    - Slight tweak of the flight model.
	  Changed mass values and moved the center of the mass to make the flight model smoother and less twitchy
	  Yaw/pitch/roll speeds are unchanged from 0.7.1

Ryoken (Stormcrow)
	- Fix for physicalized weapons (like Gauss) passing through the "cheeks" of the torso.
	- Hit boxes tweaked so that most of the cockpit canopy is CT instead of being thinly sliced between RT, CT, and LT.
	- Some variants now have LAMS.

Chevalier
	- Adjusted splash damage modifiers and transfer rates to counteract sudden death syndrome.

Harasser
	- Adjusted splash damage modifiers and transfer rates to counteract sudden death syndrome.

Hephaestus
	- Adjusted splash damage modifiers and transfer rates to counteract sudden death syndrome.

Warhammer
	- Prime variant now uses a Fusion engine and is the original variant, substantially decreasing its price, it also has lower side torso transfer rates.

Catapult
	- Prime variant now uses a Fusion engine and is the original variant, substantially decreasing its price, it also has lower side torso transfer rates.

Solitaire
	- Improved turn rate.

Avatar
	- Armor redistributed from arms towards side torsos and CT.
	- Now has 360 torso twist.

Uziel
	- Armor further distributed from arms towards side torsos and CT.

Mauler
	- Armor redistributed from arms towards side torsos and CT.

Owens
	- BAP, C3, and TAG are now fixed to the chassis and will always be present on all variants.

Shadowcat
	- MASC and JJs are now fixed to the chassis and will always be present on all variants.

Rifleman
	- Armor redistributed from arms towards side torsos and CT.

Puma
	- Armor redistributed from arms towards side torsos and CT.

Vulture
	- Armor redistributed from arms towards side torsos and CT.

Huit
	- LAMS added to the chassis.
	- Huit now has correctly sized Fusion engine based off podspace and speed. This resulted in the loss of 5.5 tons of podspace and nearly half the speed. (The Huit was WAY too fast before, sorry)

Longtom
	- Now has correct armor and internals.
	- Drastically reduced boost heat buildup.

Partisan
	- Added LAMS to turret
	- Partisan "F" has Fusion engine to achieve superior speed, its base chassis price is substantially higher.

Oro
	- Increased max pitch value to 65 degrees. The Oro was originally an AA tank for the clans in CBT, this should help it with that.

Awesome
	- Increased turn rate.

------ GAME FLOW CHANGES ------

	- Counted armor into base chassis price rather than as independent value to avoid weird prices.
	- There are now 8 C-bill modifiers instead of 4, instead of a 20% +/- modifier to cbills earned it is now 10%.
	  The tiers are as follows:
	   Harasser=1, Hephaestus=1, Hawkmoth=1, SparrowHawk=1, Apc=1, Osiris=1, Solitaire=1,
	   Chevalier=2, Donar=2, Raven=2, Owens=2, Uller=2, Chimera=2, Ares=2
	   Puma=3, Cougar=3, Partisan=3, Corsair=3, Sulla=3, HollanderII=3, Uziel=3,
           Blacklanner=4, Bushwacker=4, Shadowcat=4, Epona=4, Rifleman=4, Catapult=4, Oro=4, BA=4
	   Ryoken=5, Thor=5, Loki=5, Vulture=5, Warhammer=5, Thanatos=5, Visigoth=5 ,Avatar=5,
	   Madcat=6, Novacat=6, Demolisher=6, Awesome=6, Shiva=6, Mauler=6, Huitzilopochtli=6,
	   Masakari=7, Morrigu=7, Atlas=7, MadcatMKII=7,
	   LongTom=8, Fafnir=8, Daishi=8, Bloodasp=8

	- Increased BA death ticket cost from 1 to 2.
	- Revamped equipment and chassis costs, whereas before it was around 20% chassis and 80% equipment it is now closer to 50/50.
	- Restructured rank money to provide new assets in a smoother and more logical manner.
	- Increased rank requirements across the board to prevent ranks being skipped entirely.
	- Moved the Rifleman, Catapult, Loki, and Vulture to medium mech build bays, anywhere you can build mediums you can now build these.
	- Moved the Chevalier, Ares, and APC to hovercraft build bays, anywhere you can build hovercraft you can now build these.

------ HUD CHANGES ------

HUD
	- Night vision is an actual night vision now. It's green, and amplifies light way better than before.
    - Paperdolls V2: the internal and the armor paperdolls have been merged in a single big paperdoll
	  The big external one shows the armor status of each component
	  The internal one is a bit smaller, and it shows internal status of each component (internal system is currently implemented only for mech legs)
	- Health bars have been merged as well, in the same way as the paperdolls.
	- Consistent L / R component inversion of damage readuts: always inverted for targets, always uninverted for self damage readout
    - Crosshairs are actual crosses now, no more weird symbols around
    - Remove some other useless weird symbols and useless lines around the HUDs
    - Moved heading and pitch indicator on the top of the aiming reticles
	- Weapons naming in asset HUDs have been changed in order to achieve better readability (Dual Streak SRM-6 instead of DSSRM6, LB 10-X AC instead of    LBX10 etc..)
	- "HEAT LEVEL CRITICAL" message has been moved above the aiming reticle for better readability
	- "HEAT LEVEL CRITICAL" message now will appear as soon as the heat gauge goes over the yellow line, not the red one
	- Damage readouts of the components in tank HUDs have appropriate colors (green at 100% and yellow at about 70%, as in the mech HUD)

BA HUD
	- Battle Armor pilots, now you finally can enjoy having a compass!
	- Improved visibility for BA SRM2 reloading status

Misc HUD
	- There is no "Clan" writing for Clan weapons anymore because it's obvious. We do not allow mixtech, so if you are in a Clan asset, you are using Clan weapons.
	- Buy Menu HUD is showing tonnage, weight class and tech for each asset now
	- Loadout menu shows available camos by categories now
