 Posted: Sun Apr 04, 2004 1:53 am Post subject: Woah! The DoD 1.2 changelist released today. |
 |
|
Here's what Mugsy had to say about it:
| Mugsy wrote: |
v1.2
-----
[4.2.03]
Weapons
-------------
· Bazooka is now a selectable class
· reduced greasegun recoil to match thompson ( 0.5 -> 0.4 )
· reduced FG42 recoil to match BAR ( 1.3 -> 1.0 )
· reduced Bren recoil to match BAR ( 1.3 -> 1.0 )
· reduced Enfield aim penalty to match K98
· increased K98 and Enfield recoil ( 1.0 -> 1.5 ) to match garand
· fixed Enfield being less accurate than k98
· fixed unzoomed, scoped fg42 being less accurate than regular fg42
· increased movement accuracy penalty on Enfield to match K98 ( 0.1 -> 0.15 )
· added K43 butt smack
· fixed Springfield re-zoom behavior
· fixed prone garand butt / bayonet animation never playing
· lowered standing view height from 28 to 22 units above player origin
· increased mg bullet penetration ( factor 0.75 -> 0.65 )
· reorganized slots, primary weapons are all in slot 3 now ( if you like your primary weapons in slot 4, bind the '4' key to "slot3" )
Bugs
------
· fixed bug where throwing a grenade straight down when prone would throw the grenade out of the world
· fixed weapons not calling Deploy client side if nextweapon and prevweapon were used, fixes crosshair disappearing for long amounts of time after a reload
· fixed helmet not popping off of allied carbine classes
· dropped weapons reset their attack times - fixes a bug where a weapon dropped in mid reload could not be fired until the reload time was up, even if another player picked it up
· fixed exploit where player could fire a rocket, change teams and destroy objectives
· fix player yaw / gaityaw popping when rotating to the right
· default font will now draw 32 players on the scoreboard without clipping
· reset and reload all client env models when demo recording starts - fixes models disappearing in demo playback
· fixed %s in saytext exploit
· fixed class limit cvars for fg42s
Performance
----------------
· optimized particles
· optimized cvar lookups
· optimized minimap drawing
· optimized player model drawing
· removed unused effects and sprites
· removed Movewith
· removed lightning and extra unused weather features
· removed cutscenes
· added entity lookup hash to speed up searching for entities
· removed w_ models for weapons that can't be dropped
Misc
-------
· fixed names starting with # exploit
· increased number of custom objective icons per map to 6
· Label in class select menu shows class limit and how many are in that class
· class menu now omits banned classes and greys out full classes
· added mapinfo text files that can edit map properties - ban specific classes and remove spawned bazookas
· print warning message if map tries to load too many client_env_models
New cvars and commands
-------------------
"cl_hudfont"
- Change to vary the size of the saytext and voice menu text ( 0 = small, 1 = normal, 2 = big )
"mp_combinemglimits"
- Setting to 1 will combine the mg34 and mg42 class limits and count either class as being a "machinegunner". New limit is the sum of "mp_limitaxismg34" and "mp_limitaximg42", including negative numbers.
"mp_limitalliesbazooka"
"mp_limitaxispschreck"
"mp_limitbitpiat"
- Class limit cvars for the new bazooka classes
Mapinfo instructions
----------------------------
To ban classes with the mapinfo text files, you set a number that indicates the allowed classes. The number after the "alliesclasses" is the sum of the unique identifiers for each allowed class.
Example in mapinfo\dod_caen.txt.bak:
"spawn_bazookas" "0" //don't spawn bazookas on the ground
"alliesclasses" "29" //1 + 4 + 8 + 16 would represent - garand + thompson + greasegun + sniper
"axisclasses" "267" //1 + 2 + 8 + 256 would represent - K98 + K43 + MP44 + MG42
The classes are defined as:
British classes
Enfield 1
Sten 2
Sniper 4
Bren 8
PIAT 16
Random 64
American classes
Garand 1
Carbine 2
Thompson 4
GreaseGun 8
Sniper 16
BAR 32
30cal 64
Bazooka 128
Random 512
Axis classes
K98 1
K43 2
MP40 4
MP44 8
Sniper 16
FG42Bipod 32 //not available on non-para maps
FG42Sniper 64 //not available on non-para maps
MG34 128
MG42 256
Pschreck 512
Random 2048
And for those of you wondering what the missing class is in each of these lists, its a mortar. This weapon is not included in this release, as its not completed yet.

AWESOMENESS!!!!
my favorite things:
1) no more nade hack
2) no more people with # as first char in name
3) can show 32 people on scoreboard now
obviously the first 2 i like most as an admin. man this rocks. normally id be pissed about increasing the k98 recoil, but i dont use it anywhere near as much as i used to.
edit: mortars??? sweeeetness. thisll give dod a new meaning for me, hopefully. |

| Personally, I think the best fix is the lowering of point of view from 28 to 22. You'll see closer to the ground and you wont see helmets killing you. The K43 buttsmack ( :O ) is awesome and I like the rocket class idea. The K98 recoil boost isn't too bad since you've got time to readjust since it's bolt action. What about new maps though? I'd like to see dod_saints as an official map. |

agree mucho with that. Have to see how maps like charlie play now for snipers and mgs hiding in bunkers.
Some of the other stuff I don't agree with...I don't see why they have to equalize all the weapons. For instance, one of the few good advantages about the garand was the buttsmack which is actually pretty effective at close range. Axis already has the 'death by toenail wound' ability of the k98, why make the k43 even better? I know they want to balance things more, but I think it works better if you have it balanced by entire team ability rather than balancing each class to mirror the other. |

It just said they equalized the recoil.
I like the k43 butt smacker and the rocket guy. I think this will be a good update if they can get it right the first time...

Now with bazooka as a selectable class we can have rocket fights! I hope you guys don't limit that class here at theville because when i'm feeling bored I might have to instigate a rocket fight. 
I can't wait for those new maps either. I love Switch and Flugplatz and I don't know how I played without them.
Now that they lowered the recoil on the fg42 I will be using that on any map that has it for sure. Especially on Charlie.
I hope they get it right and quick. |
