DOWNLOAD - or grab it via 4.0 on the St0rm AOW server when Wilo updates it.

Change list:

Emitter intensity in the waterfall area has been reduced by 50%.

The Orca/Apache/Transport Helicopters now have spinning blades which spin up and shut down upon entering/leaving the vehicle. They also have skids and wheels, respectively, with an operating suspension.

Texture size on the Ore Refinery has been reduced by half to 1024x instead of 2048x in an effort to help improve frame rates.

The circuit breakers and their associated ceramic pieces have been reduced from thousands of polygons down to only 100 each, also in an effort to improve frame rates.

Fixed an exploit where vehicles could enter the ore mine system.

Artillery explosive radius has been reduced to 18 meters to match the MRLS. Damage spread throughout the 18 meter radius has been reduced to 125, down from 175.

Orcas now fire a secondary Shrapnel warhead machine gun, which is only effective against infantry. Orca reload time was increased by one second.

Apaches now fire a secondary salvo of rockets, doing 1.5 damage each. They are unguided and are affected by gravity, and they spread out as they fly farther. You will have to fly your vehicle at a target in order to use them effectively. You can also use them to bombard targets from a distance. Their range is 110 meters, roughly the same as most tanks.

Apache cannon was improved so that it does 10 damage instead of 8. It fires slightly slower. It also has an "explosive radius" which is invisible, but does 0.5 damage within two meters. Helps kill infantry since its warhead isn't particularly effective against them. Its range was increased to 90 meters to help fend off Orcas.

Stealth Tank missiles were improved. They turn better and fly 25% faster.

Recon Bike missiles were improved. They now have a 110 meter range, fly faster, and turn better. They now have the explosion type "Explosion_Rocket_Medium" instead of Small, doing 100 damage within six meters instead of four meters. They're now much more suitable for taking down Orcas.

Mammoth Tank missiles turn slightly better and have a range of 90 meters to match the Apache's new range.

Rocket Soldiers now fire missiles that fly at speed of 75, instead of 50.

Gunner now fires missiles that fly at a speed of 85, instead of 100.

Orca rockets now do 35 damage, down from 45. They take half a second longer to reload, and their explosive radius was reduced to Rocket_Light. They now spread 100 damage across 4 meters instead of 6.

Orca and Apache were too fast for the scale of this level. They have had their speed reduced by 15%.

Orca and Apache now roll realistically as they turn, and they turn roughly 40% slower than before. The Apache turns slightly faster than the Orca, having a tail rotor to spin it around quicker.

Turret health reduced to 300, down from 400.

SAM Site now fires rockets whose explosion deals 100 damage spread out over an area of 15 meters, up from 6.

Spawning gun turrets at the substation were given 350/350 health instead of 150/150.

Orcas now look more visually nimble. Their engines pivot faster and they roll a bit more. They now have a customized version of the engine exhaust that stretches out farther as it flies faster, and disappears when you hover.

Apache handling was tweaked. It's a bit easier to fly it now.

Transport Helicopters now feel "bulkier" when you pilot them. Will be replacing their crappy models with a version that has skids and improved smoothing groups so they don't look as blocky. They will also get modeled helicopter blades that spin up and shut down.

Transport Helicopters now have an operational machine gun on the left side of the craft. It has a turret restriction and can only fire within the space of the window it occupies. It can fire 55 degrees up and 55 degrees down. It uses the same machine gun as the Orca.

Radio command icons were changed. "Don't get in my way" and "Watch where you're pointing that" are now middle fingers. It helps illustrate the frustration.

The Orca's engine exhaust is currently broken in this version of 4.0. It will be fixed once TT updates to the next version after the current one.

Yes, it is. It's completely unguided, so you'll have a hard time hitting anything with it unless you're sitting still or attempting a strafing run.

your maps is bad


Agreed they are bad , kid has no skil or clue, but no surprise's here, i mean just go around the threads here in this forum, and you can tell and see for yourself what a dweeb this kid is, like omg theres way better skill out there in the community then within this kid, thats not argue-able, but this kid will . lol


I guess it would take a retard like trooprm02 to think that he'd accomplished something by pointing out what everyone already knows about.

Are you projecting projection... or better yet, am I projecting you projecting projection.
jk

I enjoyed the map, lot of people hate it but I was on a server that allows voting for the maps, and your map's ranking was average with the original Westwood ones, and the people that hate your maps like those, so I guess that kind of cancels their opinion out lol.

why does havoc still destroy poor defenseless buggies and humvees? at least cut the damage he does to it in half

why does a sniper rifle shot do comparable damage to a fucking tank shell to those vehicles?

Since I can't change armor.ini I'd have to change their armor type to Heavy in order to avoid massive sniper damage. That opens up another problem: Rifle infantry wouldn't be able to destroy them easily like they do now. I might have missed some setting in armor.ini that would allow me to set the sniper warhead to something that only damages infantry, but I haven't seen it yet.

I don't think that's too bad of a thing actually... Buggies and Humvees should be able to counter infantry. They're basically useless, otherwise...

I think a buggy rush that can't be stopped by infantry would be a bad thing.

True, but they're already fairly useless anyway... just because they can sorta fight a useless vehicle doesn't mean it's their saving grace. I mean shit, virtually every other unit is better at fighting a buggy/humvee than the rifle soldiers anyway.

It's not like it'd suddenly break gameplay and cause buggies/humvees to be horribly OP. It'd just give them a little bit of use when it comes to clearing the field of infantry. Hell, they'd still be incredibly susceptible to any explosive fire... which, come on, reigns supreme in most of Ren's battles.

The buggy / humvee is perfectly usable in early battle, for fast rushes on rush maps or during the harv fight on defense maps. When it has repairs, it can withstand sufficient fire.

i will try to offer constructive criticism about your map: it does look prety cool but i cant say i love it, the level of detail is way higer than what i have seen in otters fan maps but that doesnt nesesary make it better, imo exept for the tunels the layout is a litle bit boring, the rute to the enemy base is too much straight on, about the trees, i havent seen anotter ren fan map whit such amount of trees but if that doesnt cause lag issues then i dont see the problem whit them, also i dont like some of the units changes for example the mrls firing only 2 misiles at the time it just doesnt feel right for me, the rotating turret seams to be a nice thing but i havent test it in large matches to say i love it. The chaingun in the chinok is a nice touch though, may be some players would consider to buy one for serius purposes and not just for lolz.

You have to put these changes into a larger frame of reference to understand why things are. The MRLS fires two missiles, not only to be accurate to Tiberian Dawn, but also to consolidate the damage of six missiles into two. This has the effect of making it much more dangerous than it was in Renegade, because if only two missiles track on average, it's better to have them do more damage than fractional damage. This also makes them potent anti-aircraft weapons, negating the dynamic of having Havoc/Sakura/other "snipers" destroying aircraft.

You are correct, the way I have the tile objects (trees, specifically) set up isn't maximizing frames. If I combine them into several "larger" objects, they will render faster and the engine will cope with them easier. I'm planning to eventually get around to fixing that along with some other minor re-balancing, such as moving the Weapons Factory in place of the Barracks.

Thanks for the commentary, though. I appreciate all thoughts and viewpoints so long as they're presented in a respectable manner.
