-----------------------------------------
 +
--------- KNOWN ISSUES - 0.17.4 --------
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
 +
------ 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.
 +
- 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.
 +
- Spawning into Hvtols is disallowing BA weapon purchases due to the bugzone flag not getting updated correctly; thus it depends on if you were in a buy zone when you died whether it will work or not.
 +
 +
---- 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 -------
 +
 +
- 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 0.17.4 ------------
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
 +
------ GAMEPLAY -------
 +
 +
- Adjusted head hitboxes on the follow assets due to them either being far too large or too small;
 +
- Cougar, Daishi, Lobo, Archangel, Atlas (now is the right eye area only), Awesome, Bushwacker, Warhammer.
 +
 +
- Madcat MKII
 +
- Moved armor from externals into arms.
 +
- Daishi
 +
- Reduced Base Chassis Cost by 3k.
 +
 +
- Variant tweaks or changes
 +
MKII A - Daishi A,B - Mithras G - Novacat F - Avatar G - Corsair D.
 +
 +
------ BUG FIXES ------
 +
 +
- Reconfigured hitboxes on the Harasser and Hephaestus to fix several deadzones.
 +
- Included Warhammer cockpit glass into main torso geometry rather than as a called up extra part (this was causing problems with hit detection).

------------- VERSION 0.17.2 ------------
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
 +
----- GAMEPLAY ------
 +
 +
- Increased weapon cost of the Sniper Artillery to 37900 from 32000
 +
 +
- Variant tweaks or changes
 +
- Daishi A - Lobo C - Enfield F - Ares B
 +
 +
- Lobo
 +
- Reduced hitbox sizes for externals to more tightly hug the geometry and reduce the overlap on the torsos and arms.
 +
 +
------ BUG FIXES ------
 +
 +
- Removed some third person camera views from live build which were intended for testing in alpha.
 +
- Fix for MKII Arms not using free ret correctly.
 +
 +
------- AUDIO ---------
 +
 +
- Added new code to detect non-traditional footfall timings so that mech footstep sounds do not skip over some animations (hellhound walk/commando walk/hellion walk/run) this should allow any further non traditional leg setups to correctly play sounds in the future.
 +
 +
-------- VISUAL -------
 +
 +
- Lobo
 +
- Reworked running animation to give it both more vertical bob and switching its hip twist to be correctly aligned with which foot it is putting forward, this should also smooth the transition between running and fast walk.
 +
 +
- Hellion
 +
- Increased hip joint geometry length so that the legs no longer visually seperate from the pelvis when running.
 +
 +
- Shiva
 +
- Removed geometry from the inner side of the cockpit glass to prevent glare effects from blinding the pilot.
 +
 +
- Changed Sniper Artillery visual to match other artillery pieces for better visibility.
 +
 +
-------- MAPS ---------
 +
 +
- Adjusted Ammo/Repair points among the capture points on TC_Dune.

-----------------------------------------
 +
------------- 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.

- 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.

-----------------------------------------
 +
--------- KNOWN ISSUES - 0.16.4 --------
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
 +
------ 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.
 +
- 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
 +
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
------------- VERSION 0.16.4 ------------
 +
-----------------------------------------
 +
 +
------ BUG FIXES ------
 +
 +
- Fixed Warhammer model lacking lower arms causing both arms to take damage regardless of where the model is hit.
 +
 +
------- AUDIO ---------
 +
 +
- Repacked the three audio paks and removed their compression to assist with audio queues loading smoothly as they're called.
 +
 +
---- GAME SYSTEMS -----
 +
 +
- Reverted code changes introduced to prevent problems with the free reticule cvar toggle in order to help debug possible causes of the audio vine boom bug.

 +
    F11 toggles net_channelstats - use to diagnose red-x / lossy connection to servers. Check the troubleshooting wiki for net_channelstats details

------------- 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)

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

0.17.4

Release date: 18 December 2024
Standalone: Yes
Changelog:

[Collapse]
-----------------------------------------
--------- KNOWN ISSUES - 0.17.4 --------
-----------------------------------------

------ 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.
- 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.
- Spawning into Hvtols is disallowing BA weapon purchases due to the bugzone flag not getting updated correctly; thus it depends on if you were in a buy zone when you died whether it will work or not.

---- 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 -------

- 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 0.17.4 ------------
-----------------------------------------

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

- Adjusted head hitboxes on the follow assets due to them either being far too large or too small;
	- Cougar, Daishi, Lobo, Archangel, Atlas (now is the right eye area only), Awesome, Bushwacker, Warhammer.

- Madcat MKII 
	- Moved armor from externals into arms.
- Daishi
	- Reduced Base Chassis Cost by 3k.

- Variant tweaks or changes
	MKII A - Daishi A,B - Mithras G - Novacat F - Avatar G - Corsair D.

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

- Reconfigured hitboxes on the Harasser and Hephaestus to fix several deadzones.
- Included Warhammer cockpit glass into main torso geometry rather than as a called up extra part (this was causing problems with hit detection).

0.17.3

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

- Removed some third person camera views from live build which were intended for testing in alpha.
- Fix for MKII Arms not using free ret correctly.
 
------- AUDIO ---------

- Added new code to detect non-traditional footfall timings so that mech footstep sounds do not skip over some animations (hellhound walk/commando walk/hellion walk/run) this should allow any further non traditional leg setups to correctly play sounds in the future.

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

- Lobo
	- Reworked running animation to give it both more vertical bob and switching its hip twist to be correctly aligned with which foot it is putting forward, this should also smooth the transition between running and fast walk.

- Hellion
	- Increased hip joint geometry length so that the legs no longer visually seperate from the pelvis when running.

- Shiva
	- Removed geometry from the inner side of the cockpit glass to prevent glare effects from blinding the pilot.

- Changed Sniper Artillery visual to match other artillery pieces for better visibility. 

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

- Adjusted Ammo/Repair points among the capture points on TC_Dune.

-----------------------------------------
------------- 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.

- 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.

- 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_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)

- 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 0.15.3 ------------
-----------------------------------------


----- GAMEPLAY ------
- Added ServerSpawn flag to LongtomStandardAmmo to see if it forces syncs to avoid ghost shells: it could completely break but only one way to find out :) 

- Variant tweaks or changes
	 Chevalier Prime

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

- Fix for Orion center torso LAC5 hitting itself sometimes.
- Fix for missing MRM10 ammo inventory on Orion.

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

- A few more changes to graphics.cfg to improve the look of maps
