Changes to be in v1.3.22

[x] done
[ ] not done Many of the unchecked items are almost done.

New Features

[x] Overheating system (no more blaster spam), cross hair begins to glow red as your weapon generates heat and will stop firing when it is overloaded with heat, wait a few seconds for it to cool down or switch to a new weapon. All blasters have received a significant nerf as a result.
[x] Improved ammo overrides, properly supports buff overrides, some new ammo types added as a result
[x] When browsing for servers, the "internet" source will combine all master server lists into one, rather than only pulling from Raven's (thanks to OpenJK for this fix).
[x] Only certain types of jetpacks can be activated while carrying a CTF flag (this also plays a sputter sound to indicate it won't activate - sounds based on MWLANDI's gas stove recordings. Two new fields in .jet files control this: loadBearingAllowed and sputterSound. Jetpacks default to NOT being able to carry flags.
[x] Medicinal Healing Slugs. Load a slugthrower with bacta pellet ammo, in order to heal your targets.
[x] Poison Gas Cannisters. Load poison gas into a flamethrower in order to conduct chemical warfare against the enemy team, be careful not to breathe it in yourself!
[x] Added loading screen tips (configurable in ext_data/tables/loadingTips.json - add as many as you want!)
[x] Added a new cvar, "perf" that, when enabled, displays detailed statistics about the game's performance.
[ ] Bacta Grenades are here! Toss one at an ally (or an enemy oops!) to heal them.

Bug Fixes and Balance Changes

[x] Balance overhaul: extensive changes intended to better balance overpowered weapons and give less used weapons more incentive to buy them.
[x] Fixed bug in dodge rolls present in v1.3.19's initial release
[x] Nerfed dlt 19 sniper to do less damage
[x] Jetpack's fuel gauge auto fill when you spawn (no more waiting to charge them up)
[x] Can no longer fire while lunging forward using jetpack
[x] Simplified pay commands, you must have enough credits to actually be able to share credits with others
[x] Increased damage to shields (and droids) when using electrical based weaponry.
[x] Fixed shield spillover bug.
[x] Buffed the flamethrower slightly.
[x] Buffed arc casters slightly.
[x] Fixed autofiring bug for weapons that consume multiple ammo counts, when the weapon's clip is partially depleted. eg: DXR-6
[x] Reduced ammo costs in general, especially for blasters and pistols.
[x] Reduced price of certain trip mines.
[x] Reduced max stack size on bacta consumables and some grenades.
[x] Bounty Code Bug Fix and Optimization
[x] PrintItemList Cmd
[x] Buying a new shield/jetpack removes any previously equipped ones and equips the new one.
[x] Vendors announce when their stock is replaced.
[x] Jetpacks can now be activated with the assigned aci button (eg: press 8 on keyboard to use jetpack on aci slot 8), as well as while in the air like before.
[x] Flags can not be grabbed while using a jetpack if it isn't of the loadbearing type.
[x] Trip mines and most grenades have stopped doing damage. They still explode, just are harmless. ~~Probably a damage type thing.~~ Caused by most of the wpn files missing radial damage.
[x] Flechette pistol ammo costs way too much (more than 3x cost of the gun to refill from 0)
[x] AA-35c shotgun ammo costs too much (may be due to the fact that it purchases smoke grenades for the launcher firemode as well)
[x] Tripmine lasers trigger on teamates
[x] L8 Striker should cost a little more
[x] Bryar Pistol should cost slightly less and do a little more damage (on charged shots)
[x] Jawa sfx needs to be added to assets
[x] Mk1 trip mines missing firing mode labels, should also not do proximity only mk2 do
[x] Clone rifle missing firing mode labels
[x] Player's not charged for ammo.
[x] Fixed ammo prices on both server and ui display, no more insane random price calculations from bad floats/int math or forgetting that some firemodes use the same ammo type.
[ ] fix #314 server crashes
[ ] remove some of the extra ammo options from the shop, especially if they don't do anything (like a lot of the blaster pack ones)

Optional (if we have time)

[x] Bring back centerprint death announcements
- [x] Shields will now protect you from being stunned while they hold a charge
- [x] Ion Blaster ammo. Load ion cartridges into a blaster to do extra damage to shields and droids, does reduced damage against organics.
- [x] Jetpack's and shields autoequip themselves whenever you acquire a new one (unequips any previously equipped one first).
- [x] Reduce slowdown effect on armor items, to give armor a bit more of an edge - a larger change will be needed in the future, but for now we can just buff the items themselves.
- [ ] Noodle's new armor stuff added in
- [ ] Fix shops with more appropriate selections of weapons (eg: an ammo shop is probably needed, since the chances of getting an ammo type you need and a weapon that uses at the same time is pretty low and a kinda dumb mechanic)
- [ ] Shader's for certain effects such as poison no longer viewable through walls.
- [ ] Death message improvements: display the weapon you were felled with and if it was a headshot. Also provide info to killer that they got a headshot if they do.
- [ ] Toggleable Crouching
- [ ] Update old map pack with better spawn points, flags for ctf on maps that don't have them.
- [x] Release a new map pack with jkg_jawa, Tatooine Duel Arena, and Noodle's Imperial Base map, +others?
- [x] Tripmines have no hitbox/are not blowing up when you shoot them
- [ ] Tripmines don't chain explode #317
- [ ] Vendors initially t-pose after new round on the same map begins
- [x] Disintegration efx aren't playing (player disappears instantly from disruptor shots/thermals)

Ion blaster ammo exists, it just doesn't spawn in shops.

DarthFutuza commented 5 years ago

~I fixed most of the Ion blaster ammo efx, just need to have the item put into shops now and make sure its doing correct damage, it seems to be doing a lot against organics. Tried to fix the medicinal healing slugs, but for some reason they keep doing damage even when damage is overriden to be set to 0 or a negative number. Did get it to apply a healing debuff though.~ Its working now.

Silverfang22 commented 5 years ago

Buying a new jetpack or shield should probably automatically replace the old one, this will be less confusing to someone who isn't famaliar with the inventory system.

DarthFutuza commented 5 years ago

While I'm still willing to try and fix the rest of these optional items, I think they can wait for a patch later as they are all code edits that should be small. We're only missing bacta grenades at this point as far as asset based stuff I wanted done. (The grenades are implemented, but just need the correct model in place).

DarthFutuza commented 5 years ago

Initial preview release we tested with Smoo did not go well, Linux builds are evidently really screwy.

DarthFutuza commented 5 years ago

~grenade_bacta_antidote-e will crash the server, need to debug. Doesn't happen on my debug copy so its possibly caused by a missing asset.~ Fixed.

DarthFutuza commented 5 years ago

eezstreet fixed bacta nades, added a few last things in the optional like Noodle's armor sets. Linux builds are still screwy and need investigating.

DarthFutuza commented 5 years ago

Properly added ion ammo overrides, and shield/jetpack autoequipping. Also fixed a major bug with MOD ammo overrides.

DarthFutuza commented 5 years ago

Found a bug with certain types of ION ammo apparently removing/replacing the normal gun's ammo. eg: ELG ION is fine, but any of the ION Power Paks are messed up. Once you ammo cycle to the ion ammo, you can't cycle back to the regular ammo. I think its probably an issue with the power pak ammo type, but requires more investigation.
