Upcoming 1.122 Update:

The following is the upcoming changes to the game when Pt.2 of the UI update releases. Fixing Deathmatch is taking longer than expected.

Below are the changes:

Visual and Audio Changes

• Further UI changes made: Changes to Game Results and Game Selections
• Edited the victory music
• Reduced the size of Airships by approx 75%

Weapon Changes:

Assault:

• Changed the Magazine size from 25 to 30
• Increased rate of fire by approx 47% (1 round per 0.19 seconds to 0.1 seconds)
• Increased damage by approx. 12% (35 to 38)

Scout:

• Increased rate of fire by approx. 38% (3.39 to 2 seconds approx.)
• Reduced spread of bullets by roughly 5%

Medic

• Reduced rate of fire by approx. 10% (0.9 seconds to 1 second)
• Increased damage from 54 to 56

Sub-weapon changes:

Grenades:

• Reduced min. and max. damage from 45 and 70, to 15 and 45 respectively
• No longer kills enemies from across the map when the grenade explodes on the edge of the screen.

Poison Gas:

• Reduced min. and max. damage from 45 and 70, to 15 and 45 respectively
• No longer kills enemies from across the map when the Poison Gas explodes on the edge of the screen.

MedBubble:

• Reduced the rate of healing from 1 HP per 0.5 seconds to 1 HP per 1 second
• The MedBubble now deflects enemy bullets.
• The MedBubble now has HP. Should it take too much damage, it will disappear, and rendered unusable until you respawn as the Medic class.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where the message when the player scores a kill would be obstructed under the roofing of buildings
• Fixed Deathmatch rounds not ending when either team had achieved the required elimination count.
• Fixed a bug where the objectives would appear on top of buildings. Parts of the objectives will now be hidden if they are partly inside buildings.
• Fixed a bug where the border around the screen would disappear when the victory/defeat message would appear on screen
• Fixed a bug where respawning while the defeat/victory message would cause the UI to reappear, and overlap with the results screen.

This update is targeted for balancing classes, fixing game breaking bugs, making quality-of-life, visual, and UI changes.

Assault has received a lot of buffs due to the weapon being mildly undertuned to what it could be. Assault is a very versatile class, and so its statistics should be adjusted to further allow it to be versatile.

Medic and Scout have received balancing to make both of the weapons more usable.

Grenades and Poison Gas both had bugs where they could kill enemies from across the map when it exploded on the edge of the screen. Furthermore, they would kill enemies almost instantly. This would make every game in the player’s favor, primarily in Deathmatch. This bug has been fixed, and both sub-weapons have received adjustments to reduce it’s mass-elimination potential.

MedBubble’s role is to heal the player and their teammates. But it does not provide much use beside that. Now, it is able to reflect bullets, but its healing potential is reduced as a result.

The bug fixes are to fix visual and some groundbreaking bugs with intent to polish the game.

This update will be released sometime this week to next week. The next update will be focused on adding weather mechanics, a new map, and bug fixes.

The Update is out, however, Deathmach is unfixable, and thus removed. Will be replaced by a new gamemode in the future.

@catty Alright. Thx for letting me know. Sorry if its causing any stress.

@catty Yes. That’s what I’m asking about. However, if I even reply to a post (For example, this message), I have to wait a whole hour before editing the main post.

The game which I have the most progress on: The Teahouse, is about 15% done. I am looking for ppl to playtest, help code, and polish the game. Details will be given for those who are interested, and a forum post will be released giving a detailed overview of the game before the demo release.

So, I have come up with some code which (I think) would aim/target any clone of your choice, albeit not targeting the closest clone.

So, each clone that you want your AI (or Sprite) to target, must have their x and y coordinates recorded in separate lists (Done for individual x and y variables for more versatility) Then, when instructed, (for example a tank fighting other tanks), it would pick a random list number. This number will be referred to as the “Clone Target Variable” This number will be used to pick the x and y for the AI to point at. (For example, if the CTV is 5, then it would pick row 5 of both lists, and it would be plugged in accordingly).

Then, this tank, would then fire at the said coordinates that was plugged in from the listing, then repeats when it gets ready to fire again.

I might use this for the near future for the bots in WOC, but this is being put to testing for the Airships to give them some type of use beyond just hiding bots underneath it.

@info-creaticode No Problem. Just need to clear up space, that’s all. Still want to keep at least 1 or 2 older versions to find sources for bugs that didn’t exist before.

So, after some thinking, I will be suspending updates to WOC.

I have been thinking for a long time to make (what I think is) much needed upgrades and polishing to the game’s AI. I feel like the player is the main contributor to any match. In my eyes, this makes the ai useless other than just cannon fodder. So, I will be pushing back the weather update to work on the AI upgrades.

While I have a very basic targeting system, it’s not really enough. Why? The system does not target the closest enemy to a bot. It just picks a random one on the map. This means that it is likely to attack something off screen, and it will do nothing.

So, I won’t update the game till I can get this targeting system mastered. This will not be the only addition to this update. What else will I be adding?

• 3 new weapon classes, and 3 new subs
• 2 new maps
• 1 new gamemode to replace Deathmatch
• A slew of bug fixes
• Better UI enhancements
• Voicelines for both teams
• Removing unused blocks for better performance and loading times.
• Less time between moving and firing for the AI.
  I might, bring about a patch or two. Dunno yet.

When this update releases, the game version will be updated to 2.0

@catty Could I just only edit the actual post for updates, or does this solely have to be on the note section of the game? (Just clarifying. I’m about to release an update soon.)

@info-creaticode I will here soon. I should also mention that there is text showing the prompt for generation in the middle of the screen. That isn’t there anymore. So, it might be that it didn’t store the message or something like that. Maybe some invalid data storing.

I get stuck at the loading screen, before given an error message.

Update 7.0 - More Classy Classes Update - Major Content Update

Release date: TBA

What’s New:

Classes

The following weapon classes have been added:

Poison Gas

• Increased the speed at which the Poison Gas canister travels by roughly 15% of its initial amount

Maps

UI

• Changed the picture of the main menu’s background to serve as promotional art for the update

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug which caused airstrike bombs to only not explode when spawning on a roof, instead of disappearing like intended
• Fixed a bug which caused the AI to glitch when having a certain number of enemies nearby whilst being near the player and the B point
• Fixed a bug which caused the results screen to appear when a defeat was issued while the defeat chime played at the end of a match

Dev notes are to be released upon update release. This is the games final update for work with the sequel begins.

@alexanderstevens-62d46173 Hmm…Just wait till one of the mods helps, cant really find the source of the bug.

@alexanderstevens-62d46173 You need to make sure that the block you are previewing, will actually work, otherwise it will do nothing.

Secondly, a bug exists with large projects where running the project in the editor would not start or run code until the page was refreshed.

Additional changes to game version 6.1:

• Made so that roofs were still visible in spectator mode and when inside buildings. You can still see inside of them.
  • This is so that the bombs can actually detect if they are touching a roof.
• The AI will actually shoot into the B point when they get close. They can also attack enemies which are closer to them than the B point.

Update 6.1 - Bug fix and Balance Patch Update:
Release Date: TBA

What’s new:

Airstrikes

• Reduced the size of the bombs by approx. 10%
  • Because of this change, the rate at which bombs shrink before exploding is reduced.
• Increased explosion size by approx. 15%
• Bombs now instantly disappear if the come into contact with building walls or roofs, and will not explode.
• Reduced the strike area size for bombs to drop in by approx. 8%, and reduced the radius for which bombs can drop within the circle.
• The words Airstrike zone have been removed.

UI

• The player counter can no longer be pulled up when in not playing in Realistic Battles.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where players killed by Airstrikes would not adjust the player counter in Realistic Battles.
• Fixed a bug which caused Airstrikes to still occur even when a match was not in progress
• Fixed a bug where the player would get kills from defeated enemy players with airstrikes.

Developer Notes

This update is targeted at balancing certain mechanics, primarily the recently added Airstrikes

Upon preforming battle trials with Airstrikes the day upon release, they were, surprisingly, modestly balanced. The current effect Airstrikes are wanted to attain is to help pick off enemies in large lobbies, albeit not kill players in large amounts, not having the airstrikes almost always not kill any players, and giving players a fair chance to dodge the bombs.

A bug that was noticed, and deemed unfixable, was that each bomb could still damage players before it even explodes. Since they were massive when initially spawned, their size was reduced, and to keep them visible, also reduced the rate at which they shrink. These bombs still explode at the same timings as before.

Furthermore:

To make the bombs more likely to kill at least one player, an explosion size increase was also made.

To further limit the area of effect, and tighten bomb concentration, the area at which bombs can fall has been reduced.

The words indicating what it is have been removed due to possible color conflicts.

To keep with realism, bombs will now disappear and not explode if they are touching a wall or roof, so players can utilize buildings as cover.

5.5 is out!

Also, patch notes for an upcoming major content update, with improved organisation!

Update 6.0 - Danger From Above - Major Content Update

Release Date: April 15, 2024

Note, those who have made remixes of the game will now be greatly outdated upon release. It is best to backpack and/or import changed sprites and replace the old ones.

Bug fixes that don’t affect major parts or components of the game will be put into a separate section. Those that do will be under the appropriate category as if it was an actual change to a mechanic

What’s New!

AI

• Fixed a bug which caused the AI to not point at the player, but would still shoot at them when they were in the appropriate range
• Fixed a bug which caused the Combat Medic to not be factored in to player counts in Realistic battles, resulting in Realistic Battles ending early due to Combat Medics being unaccounted for in the counter. (Enemy team only)

Airstrikes

• Added Airstrikes
  • These were supposed to release in 5.0, but was pushed back due to more work being needed for proper balancing.
• In Non-Realistic Battles, Airstrikes will appear infrequently. You will know if an area is being attacked by a yellow circle. If the circle is spotted, you have exactly 10 seconds to leave the drop zone before you take damage. Up to 8 bombs can drop in the zone.
  • In Realistic Battles, these appear less often, but up to 10 can drop.

Maps

The Following maps have received changes:

Arrogone Forest

• Changed the arrangement of trees near the C point

Weapon Classes

The following weapon classes have received specification changes:

Assualt

• Reduced the angle at which bullets can point when fired from the player’s position by approx. 3% and tightened the dispersion
• Increased damage by approx. 8% (32 to 33 damage)

Anchor

• Reduced the angle at which bullets can point when fired from the player’s position by approx. 13% and tightened the dispersion

Interceptor

• Reduced the angle at which bullets can point when fired from the player’s position by approx. 9% and tightened the dispersion
• Increased damage by approx. 18% (21 to 24).

Combat Medic

• Reduced the angle at which bullets can point when fired from the player’s position by approx. 11% and tightened the dispersion
• Increased the interval between bullets fired by approx. 6% and reduced the rate of fire.

UI

• Changed the appearance of the Home Screen when loading the game to a new background which will serve as the promotional art for the update

Other Changes

• Removed the delay that occurred when the music for a match ending and the Results Screen music played.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug which, in Non-Realisitc Battles, capture points would cause large amounts of game lag and severe FPS drops when bots from both teams and the player were all on the same capture point
• Fixed a bug where, if timed just right, the player could instantly enter a match while transitioning from the home screen to the Main Menu before the Main Menu became visible on screen, and the same when entering the Main Menu from the Match Results screen.

Developer Notes

This update is to add a new mechanic, perform balance changes, change the appearance of maps, and make some key bug fixes

The game’s AI is felt to be one of the major driving forces of making this game entertaining. A good game needs good AI to keep it fun. With the updated targeting system implemented in 4.8, it had some bugs which, frankly, were challenging to fix. This update is to fix 2 issues which caused incorrect counting with a weapon class, and to fix a targeting issue.

The focus of this update is the new Airstrikes. These are to make the game slightly more harder, and gives the player something else to worry about. Given that everyone in Realistic Battles has one life, the rate at which Airstrikes appear in Realistic Battles has been cut by 75%, but is more dangerous as a trade-off.

Lastly some important bug fixes were made.

The next update will be focused on adjusting the targeting system of the AI

Thanks so much for over 800 views of my game!

@tyller_ Alr. I will backpack the scripts into a separate project and share it. (I do use the target x/y lists)
