FA Game lobby & Interface

- Fixed the possibility to move an Observer to Player with the Observer Button. +
Feature
+
+
+
+ -
+
- SCU presets with already upgraded SCUs buildable from Quantum Gateways (The costs of the upgrades are added to the cost of the SCU base). +
Bug Fixes and Small Tweeks
+
+
+
+ -
+
- Fixed an exploit that allowed to duplicate infinite amount of buildings for free (Drag & dropping when rebuilding from a wreck). +
- Cybran T2 and T3 Engineers HP fixed. +
- Fireball explosion is now red instead of green. +
- Cybran SMD BuildTime fixed. +
- Czar central target bone removed to reduce the likelihood of ASFs flying right through the beam and being roasted. +
- Czar beam weapon has a 75% Damage reduction against ASFs so they are not insta-killed any more when they do fly right through the beam. +
- UEF TMD Projectiles fixed. They were dying too soon to kill Tactical Missiles launched from ACUs – Weapon Unpacks = false (From true). +
- Several Beam weapons – Small improvements from ShadowKnight’s mod (Not all) to make them deal damage more “Smoothly” and change targets more efficiently. +
- Sera T2 Point Defense – 550 damage (From 660) due to beam weapon changes amounting to a buff (137.5 DPS from 165, but will sweep through several units until it deals its full 550 Damage meaning less overkill). +
- Tempest MuzzleVelocity reverted to 28 to prevent it to shoot over small targets like mass extractors. +
- Firebeetle TurnRate increased to 160 (From 120) and TurnRadius increased to 4 (From 3) for a small handling improvement. +
- Rover BuildRadius = 8 to fix an issue where it would not finish the buildings it started to build. +
- ASFs can’t shoot Rovers (Prevents them being used to kill Shields and Base Structures late game VS UEF). Special 75% resistance to Czar beam. +
- ASF Projectiles Aeon and Seraphim now shoot 1 projectile instead of 3, and have FiringTolerance = 2 (Don’t need to line up totally to fire, the same as the others). Cybran shoots 2 instead of 4. DPS is unchanged (This greatly lowers lag caused by large ASF battles). +
- ASF HP changed because the projectile adjustments impacted balance. This corrects it again. UEF = 1800 (From 1850). Cybran = 1725 (From 1700). Seraphim = 1775 (From 1800) +
- Seraphim ASF TargetCheckInterval adjusted to 0.5 (From 0.3). +
- Seraphim T2 Artillery PitchRange = 90 (From 80) to fix it not being able to fire to maximum range. +
- Cybran Strategic Missile Submarine Stealth now hides it from Sonar too. +
- Better animations for walking bots – Mongoose, Titan, Brick, Aeon Sniperbot, Percival. +
- Out of fuel speed penalty reduced to 65% from 75% to increase the possibility of reaching Air Staging when far away (Also, T1 Bombers won’t drop two times on the same target due to too low speed). +
- Cybran T2 Air Support Factory no longer has a weird colour when zoomed out. +
- T2 and T3 Engineer price reduction. T2 = 140 Mass/700 Energy/700 BuildTime (From 160/840/800). T3 = 440 Mass/2200 Energy/2200 BuildTime (From 490/3150/2100). +
- Seraphim Air Factory overall Engineer production rate reduced via rolloff time (It is still faster than the original but not crazy fast any more, speed similar to Aeon). They already have the best Bomber and have Fobo on water maps, they don’t need to have better Air Factory too. +
- T1 Bomber drop chance increased – TurnSpeed and CombatTurnSpeed = 0.75, 0.8 for UEF (From 0.7). LiftFactor = 10 (From 7). +
- Bombers targeting a wreck are no longer permanently prevented from firing (By Brute51). +
- Janus won’t scorch the earth any more when bombing a Shield. +
- Sparky added to Air and Naval factories. +
- Teleport has brand new visual and audio effects (By Brute 51). +
- Teleportation now deals only 100 Damage to nearby Units and Structures in a small radius (Doesn’t kill T1 Engineers any more). +
- Shield Stacking Damage overflow and transfer refactored (By Brute51) to prevent Resonance Effect (First Shields hit no longer take more Damages than the Damage dealt by the weapon in the first place). Overlapping Damage dealt = 15%. +
- Cybran build drone bug/exploit fixed (By Brute51). +
- DifferentialUpgradeCostCalculation = true, in units/ZAB9602/ZAB9602_unit.bp +

Exploits & bug fixes
+
+
+
+ -
+
- Removed dbg_ShowAiPathSpline console command from the game. That command was allowing to see units movements under the fog of war, without triggering the “XX has tried to cheat” warning/error. +
- Fixed an exploit were carriers where able to transport any other carrier unit (ie. fatboy, air transports,..) by ground assisting with the carrier and reclaiming the other unit. +
- Fixed a bug introduced by the “Duplicating building with wreckages” exploit fix, where building lower/higher tech building over wreckages were canceled. +
- Fixed a bug/exploit where splash damage were transferred twice when a shield collapse (noticeable with the Seraphim T4 bomber, but also affecting all area of effect damage). +
- Fixed a bug where bombers stop dropping bombs after ground attack on trees. +
- Cybran T3 gunships now make a sound when destroyed. +
- UEF depth charges now make a sound when launched. +
Performances
+
+
+
+ -
+
- Improved path finding late-game. Previously, some units weren’t answering to move order. +
- Fixed a lot of AI related script errors (should slightly improve performances with AIs). +
AI
+
+
+
+ -
+
- Implemented Duncan fixes for AI. Most of them were already there, but the standard AI should behave slightly better (Sorian AI is still way better). +
UI
+
+
+
+ -
+
- Hotbuild & GazUI mods are now implemented in FA : +
- Press F1 to rebind keys. A lot of new selection options are now available (Select idling scouts, select all land factories on screen, select all air without transports,….). +
- New options are now available in the option menu. They are described in the tool-tip. (Big strategic icons, “draggable” build queues, rotating templates, better economic panel, ..) +
- SCU manager is implemented. You have a little icon in the avatar panel (below score) to do upgrades sequentially on SCUs. Two paths are available and configurable : Combat & Engineer. You can also bind the “SCU marker” (F1) shortcut to automatically upgrade SCUs near that marker. +
- Hotbuild is a new build mode allowing you to press several time a key to go through all kind of buildings. Works also to build units in factories through the same shortcut. Check the Hotbuilding section of the keymapper (F1) +
Important note for current users of GazUI/Hotbuild.
+
+
+
+ It’s very likely that a mod version of GAZUI will mess with your game.
+Using your current hotbuild mod shouldn’t do anything bad, except that the mod is messing with key-binding. So use it at your own risk.
+ +GazUI
+All your options should be keep the same way as before. You will get new options for selecting units, as well as fixes for big Strategic icons option and SCU manager fixes.
+ +Hotbuild
+The existing mod was more an hack than a mod.
+But the new way of key binding hotbuild will allow you to rebind it more easily and really fast. The order of the options in they key bind menu (F1) is the same as the original mod.
+Meaning that to have the default key bind of the original mod for US keyboard, you should bind, in order:
+ W,E,R,T,Y,U
+ S,D,F,G,H,J,K,L
+ Z,X,C,V,B,N,M
+
As you can see, it is the key in the order of your keyboard
+The integrated mod will take care of binding the corresponding shift/alt combos. If there is a shortcut on one of these combo (ie. shift-W is already used), the combo won’t be made, and a warning will show in the log (game.log) :
+
+ WARNING: Shift-W is already bind
+
+
You can be okay with that or unbind the key. It will retry to make the hotbuild combo immediately (you don’t need to restart FA or your game).
