Use single piff instead of piffs per impact on
M60s and M1, but in return add visual inaccuracy.
Gave minigunner MG two additional delayed effect warheads
to match sound and fire animation.
- Missiles can now force-fire on water like other weapons
- Superweapons can now target empty water
- made Chemspray null InvalidTargets to avoid yaml-merge issues
- Improved APCGun effect warhead perf by ignoring actors
- removed stale Tiberium weapon mission overrides
This projectile inherits the Missile template,
but then overrides it with ballistic behaviour.
This prevents all of the Missile properties that
aren't used by Bullet from being inherited.
Apache damage vs infantry at prone increased from 50 percent to 80 percent.
Apache damage was cut in half making them less effective versus infantry. Giving them an extra boost damage wise versus prone is enough then going with a universal damage boost.
MCV Price from 4000 to 3500.
Some say they want 3000 but im still paranoid of the epidemics that have happened in the past with 1v1 and team games. Needs more team game tests if they want 3000.
Repair Pad decrease power from -30 to -20.
Power consumption is a little high. Specifically if they want to build extras.
APC Price from 550 to 600.
APC HP from 21500 to 19000.
APC turn speed from 8 to 5.
APC build duration from 900 to 938.
APC AA range from 7 to 6.
APC reduce vision range from 7c0 to 6c0.
APC projectile speed reduced from 2c0 to 900.
See notes below.
Power Plant buff HP from 50,000 to 55,000
Makes power plant sniping a little tougher. But still effective to take out.
Change power structures (Airstrip/Factory and Refinery to 40 power)
Important change. This allows more diverse builds to happen such as now able to build refinery > barracks > factory. This combo helps easy defends with quick vehicle herasses.
MRLS Price reduction from 1000 to 900.
Allows an easier method to build on the field. A unit that is often times killed by airstrikes allows more forgiveness when on the field.
Light vehicle husks HP reduce to 2000. (reduce timer on field wreckage.)
Prevents early on refinery blocks and other pathing unit issues.
Oil Derrick reduce HP from 100,000 to 80,000
Oil Derricks were a little to strong. Easily can be killed now.
Change power plant build duration from 12 seconds to 8 seconds. (Low power build duration from 24 seconds to 16 seconds.) Note: Does not include Adv. Power plant
Due to the struggle of low power this enables players to build regular power plants to help get back up quickly. This however, does not apply to Adv. power plants. The outcome is then scattered extra power plants rather then Adv. power due to the player being on low power.
Change engineer capture threshold from 50 to 55 and added a lower selection priority.
Fixes the structures from being fixed and preventing the second engineer from getting canceled out or being wasted on damaging the structure again.
NOTES:
I have mentioned that I disagree on the above APC changes. The reasons I conclude may happen is buffing the bikes with a lack of counter. This may result in games where infantry are now used to help counter against buggy/bike play rather then an APC/infantry play or APC/hummer play. If and when players speak about bikes being OP please look back at the changes that happened in the past.
penev discovered that the RulesetLoaded functions of projectiles were
never being called, meaning that their blocking calculations were not
properly accounting for actors with large hitboxes.
The best fix for this is to change FindActorsOnLine to always account
for the largest actor's hit radius, rather than forcing callers to pass
the largest radius. Per the comment in Util.cs, as a result, move this
computation to ActorMap. I decided to simplify by not making a separate
calculation for actors that block projectiles only; this may cause a
small performance degradation as the search space is a bit larger.
Similarly to this, I've removed the ability to specify a search radius
manually. Because this is only a search radius, setting a value smaller
than the largest eligible actor makes no sense; that would lead to
completely inconsistent blocking. Setting a larger value, on the other
hand, would make no difference.
CreateEffectWarhead was the only place in core code any of these search
radii were set, and that's because 0 was a mysterious magic value that
made the warhead incapable of hitting actors. I replaced it with a
boolean flag that more clearly indicates the actual behaviour.
Fixes#14151.
APC vs none decreased from 35 to 30
APC vs wood decreased from 35 to 25
APC vs heavy decreased from 35 to 25
Obelisk HP Increased from 600 (60000) to 750 (75000)
APCs are doing to much damage vs structures and heavy armor. They are managing to kill Guard Towers, light tanks, and power plants to effectively in numbers between 5 and 10. This will help to prevent this from happening. A small decrease vs infantry allows rocket infantry to last just a little bit longer as well.
Obelisk is getting a HP increase. Going from the old notes and responses happening now leaves me to believe its HP is to small. In one testing example an obelisk getting airstriked leaves it with no HP left. 4 minigunner shots and then it dies. Increasing the HP allows an expensive structure to stand longer.
Engineer movement speed reduced to 48 from 56.
Helicopter crash damage increased to 100 from 40.
Rocket infantry spread damage reduced to 32 from 128.
------
Engineer movement was the same speed as minigunners and at times would enable them to escape the minigunners. This slight speed reduction helps for this.
Helicopter crash damage was lacking and a slight increase in this enables them to do some damage. With the cost of the helicopter it is still not a good idea to sacrifice aircraft just for exta damage.
Rocket infantry spread is reduced because of the damage done to infantry packs. Games turned into tanks mixed with rocket infantry. Reducing this spread enables them to single target units more closely then in larger armies.
This has been a tough decision. I have nerfed the napalm damage from 65 to 35 commited by reaperrr since at 65 they were still one shotting weapon factories and airstrips. The problem however was that it still did way to much damage. Bringing the Vulcan down from 25 to 15 wood damage helps to keep it alive a majority of the time. (Still brings it to red at times.) Problem now is the airstrike is now a unit killing role rather then killing power plants and various other structures. (Doesn't exactly kill barracks/helipads everytime anymore.)
The increased building hitshape sizes allowed TD airstrikes to kill even Cyards and temples on bleed, which is overpowered compared to before the hitshapes were merged.
Cutting bomb damage vs. Wood to 65% lets Cyards, temples and adv. comm. centres survive airstrikes with yellow health.
The list of changes do not affect the new hitboxes of the structures.
+ Orca damage increased from 25 to 28.
Damage is increased because of their lack of damage vs armored units and structures.
+ Apache ammo reload reduced from 200 to 40.
Apaches gaining a full clip of ammo is a bit to strong. Firing the first shot starts the timer tick and will reload even if the clip is not fully reloaded. This also fixes so they don't sit on top of infantry and blow them all away to quickly.
+ Apache ammo reload amount reduced from 10 to 1.
Fixed in unison with ammo reload timer.
+ Sam now fires two missiles. (CNC95)
Does extra damage.
+ Sam range increase from 8c0 to 10c0.
Compensate for the aircraft changes. Also had a problem of MSAMs were always the better choice rather then the structure SAMs itself. This change will make them more viable.
+ Sam range limit from 9c614 to 12c0.
Makes it so aircraft can still escape while the missile won't detonate at the edge of the circle range.
+ Humvee damag vs light increased from 50 to 55.
Compensates for the price of the hummer. Having just the HP wasn't enough to counter certian builds of Nod. Enabling them a slightly higher damage allows them to kill buggies and bikes a bit more effectively. Makes them also decent arty and MRLS killers.
+ Crates got some love.
+ Viceroids now spawn.
+ An atomic bomb can now detonate. (CNC95)
+ Veterancy level is now to rank 4.
This makes grabbing crates all the more rewarding and riskier. Such as willing to bring a mammoth tank or commando to the crate rather then a minigunner.
Increases the flame infantry attack spread from 341 to 468.
This allows the flame infantry to have a wider cone attack as the previous 10 damage increase helped. They still however lacked the wide attack spread needed on massive infantry assaults. Their attack spread matches that of grenadiers and a lot of armaments (Artillery) and being a frontal unit can use a slight increase to help with this.
Units going prone still takes three hits to kill infantry (two for e3 and anyone standing).
