Release date: 19 October 2018
Standalone: Yes
Changelog:

[Collapse]
Version 0.10.0
--------------

--- KNOWN ISSUES - 0.10.0 ---


------ 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.
- The Oro and Rommel cannot turn while reversing. 
- 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)

---- 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.
- BA SRM ammo counter does not update when SRMs are not selected

------ 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



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

- Battle Armor damage modifiers are correctly working now, this means machine guns do the correct amount of damage to Battle Armor
- Fixed SA and LMS game mode kills being always logged as teamkills when sv_logKills is set to 1
- Fixed an issue where the vehicle turrets (AMS were unaffected) would fire when the left mouse button is pressed
- Fixed 3rd person view being available in the APC passenger seat
- Fixed Rusalka showing outdated paperdoll
- Fixed Anubis cockpit hitbox not following the torso as it moves
- Fixed Thor and Loki not exploding and going critical on destruction
- Fixed Osiris explosion
- Fixed Chevalier turret speed

---- 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
