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

------ 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.

---- 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.
- Footstep sounds on the locust and commando are present but very quiet.


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

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

-------- 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 0.11.0 ------------
-----------------------------------------

------ 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.
- Included extra armor for some hawkmoth variants which had the tonnage set aside for it
- Floating barrels on Partisan D fixed.
- Removed phantom mascing sounds from Raven. 
- Rommel E should now has increased top speed its larger engine was supposed to provide.
- StripeGreenBlack camo now has actual black stripes instead of ugly brown ones.
- Fixed BA jumpjets jumping in the wrong direction if you used up all the fuel.


------- AUDIO ---------
- Fixed issue with Air UAC 5 playing at max volume across the entire map.
- IS ER Small Laser doesn't sound like the Large Laser to a third person anymore.

------- VISUAL --------
- Wrong particle effect for BA PPC and Light PPC fixed.
 

---- GAME SYSTEMS -----

- Increased base cbill reward for killing a BA to 4000 from 1000.
- Added sv_ticket_decrement_rampup_rate as a sever cvar for tweaking.

- Ground based MRMs now function similar to their Air based cousins.
	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.
	- increased detection from 160m to 180m
	- enabled prediction for better hitrate against fast moving BA (not sure how much it will help)

- Laser Anti Missile System
	- LAMS now requires active radar to function. 

- Medium BattleArmor (Longinius and Elemental) health and armor regen delay normalized to 10 seconds,health and armor regen persecond while moving normalized to 6 seconds, and 12 seconds while stationary. 

------ GAMEPLAY -------
	
- New Assets
	- New Clan light mech Locust IIC (25t)
	- New Clan medium mech Hellhound[Conjurer] (50t)
	- New IS light mech Commando (25t)

	- SA_Gladiator
	- TC_Tukayyid
	- TC_Scorched

	- Increased AC5 damage from 65 to 75 primary and from 45 to 50 secondary damage.
	- Normalized mechbased CLRM lock time to 2 seconds (CRLM10 lock time) on all launcher sizes. (this is to help the larger salvos while nerfing LRM5 cheese spam.)

------ 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

---- 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
