Guest Deadpikle Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Hello Apocalypse Rising dudes! Welcome to your September blog! I hope you had a good month and are readily awaiting the fall season (if that applies to your living area). There's lots of content here, so prepare your mouse scroll wheels if you have them! WHO IS THIS WRITING MY BLOG Well hi to you too! I get to write the blog this time around. If you don't know who I am, I'm the Testing Director for BHP. I also tend to post in blue, hence the blog text color. Recently we starting testing a new patch of Apocalypse Rising. I scheduled a test the other day on the infamous "Talk Like a Pirate Day" and thus created this image for testers to encourage them to test faster: ARrrr you ready for blog content now? New Patch Notes The actual patch list is pretty long, so here's some highlights: -Updated model for the Prism Tower -Added Tesla Coil, including damaged and destroyed states -Reduced jump height of all infantry units (JumpVelocity: 5.5 -> 3.5) -Slightly increased speed of Grizzly tank (MaxEngineTorque: 9500 -> 10000) -Increased speed of V3 (MaxEngineTorque: 1050 -> 1250) -Added Guardian GI infantry unit and Javelin Launcher weapon -Reworked miner scripts to work from the same basic set of code and tweaked Chrono Miner logic to drive back to refinery normally instead of in reverse when it cannot chronoshift and to re-attempt chronoshifting every 5 seconds until it is within 150 metres of the refinery (at which point the chronoshift would probably take longer than just driving the rest of the way back) -Reworked dp88_AR_Prism_Tower to pre-calculate a minimum spanning tree for all towers rather than linking then dynamically (see this working in a SS below!) -New scripts dp88_AR_Tesla_Coil and dp88_AR_Tesla_Coil_Charger, attached to Tesla Coils and Tesla Troopers respectively. Includes ability to supercharge the coil and power it when base power is offline. That last one on the list means that Tesla Troopers *should* be able to supercharge the Tesla Coil ingame by shooting at it and thus making it more powerful! We don't have any cool screenshots of this yet, but the script is now inplace! Other changes include map tweaks, different colors, some new strings, and general fixes. Soviet Welder Guy with a wrench is at it yet again! This time he's unwrapped and begun texturing the Soviet Welder, which will be carried around by the friendly Soviet Engineers and Technicians running through the battlefield. Da, Comrade! These are very WIP shots, but you've got the idea. Guy with a wrench also says that there is a "cool reflections map that looks soooooo awesome in-game" but unfortunately we can't tease you with that just yet Tesla Coil Ingame You've heard the last couple blogs that the Tesla Coil has been rigged, textured, etc. However, we can now officially say that it is ingame and undergoing testing! The TC has several damage states: Full health, half health, and destroyed. It also has a destruction animation as well. Soviet Radar Tower dtrngd finished up a bunch of the Soviet Radar building the other day. Here's more pictures! Dish Rotating Mechanism area Communications Room (the IFF Server is here) Exterior New Screenshots Here we have a few general screenshots of the new patch in action. Textured buildings ingame New prism tower logic at work (see all the connecting beams?) Team Messages Fango is working on a low-poly version of the GI that can be put ingame. One Winged Angel is busy with life and things like that. danpaul88 is back in action and going to pump out patches and fixes more constantly now. dtrngd is doing...everything! The rest of the team is doing odds and ends. Unit Ready...wait what? WestyWood Productions Presents: g89DbJ4UvSE Adios! Have a great life! p.s. there may or may not be easter eggs in this blog...hmmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
