Natty Bumppo's G66 2.0, BETA For PB5.1

[Red Devil]

I'll probably reduce the strength of the TM.  I've already reduced the damage somewhat.  It's basically the test one I posted a few years ago, so it's not really where it needs to be for in-game use yet.  It can be fun, tho. 

[Red Devil]

Uploaded a Full Beta 36:

- Fixed an AV that happened when a human-piloted ship was sniped.
- Fixed wobble of AI snipers and increased shot delay as a result.
- Updated the vehicle lists.
- Fixed typo for Omega Burst in Kiln/Forge weapons list. (Thanks Day)

[Red Devil]

Found a bug, so I'll upload a DLL zip later.

What caused me to lag out yesterday RD? I actually ended up quitting, our lag went up to about 20 seconds for a couple of minutes, i quit and tried to re-join but timed out trying to come back in.

Don't even know what happened at the time...

[TheJamsh]

Got this AV when joining a game hosted by Daylight. They were playing the Mega Mountain II map. I literally just joined and was sat in the shell for 2 seconds before i got this crash:

Apparently they were experiencing lagouts due to snipers sniping pilots.

[Red Devil]

It AV'd last night due to that bug I found and (hopefully) fixed.  Probably should have posted the zip last night, but was way tired.

I get that MapCluster AV in stock and it's been reported.

[Red Devil]

Uploaded an Incremental 37 zip:

Unzip over 36

- Possible fix for AV/lagout due to pilot death respawning.
- Reduced health of bomber's bomb and increased its damage (experimental one had snuck in).
- Updated cfg's to display correct version.

[Red Devil]

Found that the DLL was not switching to the Coup de Grace AIP set, so I fixed that, plus increased the shot speed of those big assault towers.

[TopGun]

Hey RD me and a few other players where wondering of you are going to put the TCP cannon in the ISDF armory? I know that it would be well used and liked.


TopGun

[Red Devil]

It's already in there.

[TopGun]

The cannon not the gun. When you get the Ghoul is has TCP cannons on it. When will those be put in. The TCP gun it awesome was just wondering about the cannon.


TopGun

[Red Devil]

Oh, not sure if I will add that.  Maybe.

[Axeminister]

you're just about done aren't you? I mean it runs fine now. What are your plans? I hope you take a break and play it with us for a while before you move to FE again.

[Red Devil]

Pretty much.  Just finished adding more Archers, Lancers, and other units to the AIPs.

Have to finish refactoring more functions in the DLL, and I was thinking of adding more stage points to the maps (ugh).

Just pop into irc and give a holler when you're putting a game up and i'll come join if i'm around.
