We've just released Tiberian Sun: Reborn version 2.0.1.0! Our focus on this release was to fix bugs and improve the overall balance of the game. The notes below should cover all of the changes we've made in the past couple of weeks. We'd also just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has picked up the game and joined battles on the server. It's really nice to see that Reborn still has the power to inspire and excite people even after all of these years, so thankyou for putting big smiles on our faces. General New objective marker system for detecting units with the Mobile Sensor Array. This fixes a bug with the HUD related to being in range of an enemy MSA Players no longer have their inputs stuck when their deployed vehicle is destroyed while transitioning Adjusted key mappings to assign default hotkeys to the extended options hotkeys list for clean installations. This may result in some keybind popup spam on the first game join, but has been shown in testing to work Color-coded the HUD health bar to green, yellow, and red Fixed server instabilities Score System Building score system has been overhauled such that damage/repairs are based on a percentage of the building’s maximum HP: 37.5% for damage, 25% for repair, 25% for bounty, 10% for defense bounty This varies for small structures Large critical structures give 250 points to the team, non-critical large structures give 300 points to the team, and an additional amount awarded to the team multiplies 250 by the player count Radar Compass Ghost Stalker/Cyborg Commando blips have been changed (set to exclamation marks) Mammoth Mk II blip has been changed (set to target) Blips get smaller if they are above/below you Maps Fixed a good number of stuck spots, terrain holes, floating objects, misaligned objects, visible objects that should be invisible, and other small, general map issues Reinforcement harvesters have generally had pathfinding improvements across the board, including fixes in a lot of cases where they were dropped by the Carryall and drove nowhere Adjusted the transparency of water on several maps to make it more consistent Adjusted the drown zone height on several maps to make it more consistent where you start drowning (and you can’t walk as deeply into the water), also added drown zone on any maps where it was missing TS_Anchorage Added basic underwater terrain Moved a GDI aircraft spawner away from the Refinery to a spot between the Construction Yard and War Factory TS_Cliffs Fixed improperly placed no-dig zone in the GDI base, and extended its coverage to the Nod base Adjusted lighting TS_Dam Adjusted a bit of the vehicle-blocking clutter in the bases Fixed a bug allowing AAPC and MLRS to drive into the deep water Made slight adjustments to the ramps leading to the upper infantry routes Adjusted the out-of-bounds zone so it doesn't affect infantry up top where it shouldn't TS_Drought Bases got internally flipped with Power Plants on the inside loop Cut a path through the Tiberium Field Silos changed to blue TS_Field Added no-dig zone to the Nod base Filled in a no-dig zone gap at the back of the GDI base TS_GrandCanyon Added two Sam Sites to Nod interior walls Cleaned up map issues TS_Isles Fixed missing ability for MLRS and AAPC to drive on top of the water Mobile Repair Vehicles no longer spawn stuck in the Nod War Factory Expanded the no-dig zone behind the GDI base Adjusted Laser Turret displacement (removed coastal turret) Adjusted Sam Site displacement (rear War Factory Sam is now on the roof) Added civilian buildings Added GDI corner walls where applicable Minor adjustments to aircraft landing points TS_OmegaCity Fixed erroneous out-of-bounds warning in the Hand of Nod basement Fixed Nod outpost repair section, including removing the stuck MRV Removed one rear Nod SAM site and adjusted the others Adjusted water zone so players can’t travel so deep without taking damage Silos changed to blue TS_Snow Added a Tiberium Silo for each team TS_TaintedLegacy Added an underwater zone to the lake TS_Tiber Removed phantom GDI/Nod Construction Yards Balance Changes We've made a ton of changes to the game based on your feedback in the Discord Feedback Hub. Please keep the feedback coming, as it's really valuable for us to know how you're all perceiving the game. Thanks to everyone who has spent time to give feedback so far! The main aim of the changes in this release were to re-centre the balance of vehicles, as the general consensus was that they were a bit weak. Upon investigation we discovered that our benchmark engagement (a Titan vs a Tick tank) was around 13 seconds, which was way to short for what the game really required. With that in mind, we've done some work to strengthen vehicles vs anti-tank weapons to draw those engagements out a bit more. Below is a full list of balance changes. If you have any feedback on the way these numbers are presented, please let us know! Global Armour Types & Warhead Changes Every building, infantry and vehicle in TSR has an armour type. Every projectile and explosion has a warhead type. When calculating damage, a projectile’s warhead will have a multiplier that corresponds to an armour type in order to determine how much damage is dealt. For example, my Titan’s cannon does 90 damage and has the Warhead “Tank Shell”. I am shooting an undeployed Tick Tank which has the armour type “Armoured Vehicle”. “Tank Shell” has a 0.65 damage multiplier when shooting at “Armoured Vehicle”, so the total damage dealt to the Tick Tank per shot is 58.5. The changes below have been made to the Armour & Warhead table to enact larger changes throughout the entire game. Jumpjet Infantry Reduced incoming damage from Rocket, Tank Shell, Plasma and Railgun Weapons Mutants Reduced incoming damage from Railgun Weapons Cyborgs Reduced incoming damage from Rocket and Plasma Weapons Enforcer Reduced incoming damage from Rocket Weapons Light Vehicle Light Vehicles have been made a bit tougher to increase their survivability Reduced incoming damage from Bullets, AP Bullets, Rockets, Grenades, Tanks Shells, Artillery Shells and Sonic weapons Armoured Vehicle Armoured Vehicles have been made a bit tougher to increase their survivability Reduced incoming damage from Bullets, AP Bullets, Rockets, Grenades, Tanks Shells, Artillery Shells and Sonic weapons Deployed Vehicle Reduced incoming damage from Tank Shell Weapons Aircraft Aircraft have been made a bit tougher to match the buffs that other vehicle types have received.
