ZeroK: Zero-K v1.7.2.0 – Flea Nerf

After some much-needed life maintenance, the summer (or ‘????ns’) Zero-K development break is over. During the break we received a Hunter model and some much improved animations for the Cloakbots. The major changes of this version are to Flea, in the form of a nerf, and Space Lobsters, in the form of a physics tweak.

Flea:

  • Range 155 -> 150
  • DPS reduced by 7.3%
  • Decloak radius 120 -> 200

Other changes:

  • Put a cap on Space Lobster by setting a limit on the projected flight time of lobbed units.
  • Halberd can no longer change armour state while disarmed.
  • Improved the walk animations of the Cloakbots.
  • Replaced the Hunter model.
  • Hid the modoptions window in matchmaker games.
  • Potentially fixed an undead Outlaw error.
  • Chicken Queen health multiplier modoption can now be set higher.
  • Reworked Into Battle startboxes for 1v1.

ZeroK: Matchmaker Maps Rotation

It’s time for a Matchmaker map pool rotation to introduce new maps (and give some old ones some love too).

Removed from 1v1 pool:

Shimmershore v1.0
Zed 2.3
Obsidian_1.5
Comet Catcher Redux v3.1

Added to 1v1 pool:

Something old: Into Battle v4
Something new: Thornford 2
Something borrowed: EvoRTS-New_Iammas-v05
Something blue: Aurelian v1.0

The same changes apply to the teams MM pool with one exception – Comet Catcher remains a MM teams map.

All of these changes are now in effect except for Into Battle, which will be added to the map pool after the next stable fixes its 1v1 startboxes.

ZeroK: Engine Testing – Beta Branch Edition

The issues with the AI from the last engine update attempt have been resolved. This time, instead of applying the latest update, we’re asking players to test the beta branch. Be sure to report any issues and post if you test so we can judge the effectiveness of the beta branch approach.

In other news, @_Shaman is coordinating players to nominate Zero-K for the “Most Fun with a Machine” Steam award and nominations close in two days. See this thread for more information: http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/27434
