Changelog:

Features

Increased player icon fade distances 4000 units for revive, 3000 for everything else (ammo/health/squad icons).
- Also increased their scale very slightly as of last patch.

Bug fixes

Fixed a bug that would cause certain buildings to stop functioning after triggering it to recycle, then cancelling the recycle. (Turrets/Radar(Vehicle scanning function only, research capability was unaffected))
Fixed a visual bug with melee which would cause the dynamic crosshair to expand even though it didn’t increase bullet spread.
Fixed vehicle preset ordering to fix issues with commander interface dropdowns.
Fixed a bug with vehicle looping sounds (Engine sounds mostly) being hardcode limited to 2500 attenuation distance, regardless of the sound script’s attenuation definition.
- Along side this general vehicle sound attenuation has been increased, meaning you can hear them from futher away. (And louder for longer distances)

Empires 2.30.4 Released!

Empires Mod - Smithy

We're happy to announce version 2.30.4 which is live on Steam right now. Changelog below and also on our website:

Come join us on Discord!

Did you know we are porting this mod to Unreal Engine? You can follow its development on our website, https://empiresmod.com

Changelog:

Bug fixes

Fixed some bugs relating to the recent additions to the tank cannon penetration checks (System that prevents firing when cannon is inside something other than vehicles/players)
Fixed some mini-map icons appearing for the wrong team. (An example is being able to see the enemy squad leader icon in some circumstances)
Fixed vehicle exits being able to be blocked by players on your team
Fixed a bug with squad aura being applied to squad leaders 100% of the time
Fixed various possible crashes relating to weapons (and 1 with wall placement)
Fixed a networking issue causing the player icon on the mini-map not updating when swapping the revive skill on/off.

Other changes

Changed the ordering of BE rifleman’s pistols to match the other classes in the class menu.
Enhanced senses is now disabled if the player dies, previously a dead player could continue to receive extra info.
Removed request/revive icons from drawing above yourself and on your own mini-map icon
Repair icon on the crosshair now only displays if the engineer is actually in range to build, rather than building health display range.
Squad aura icon now only displays if the local player is actually receiving the benefits of the aura, previously it only checked if the player was in range but that didn’t mean they were receiving the aura. (If they were dead for example)

Script/Game Balance

Changes to homing/guided

Added a max distance from player that RPG missiles will continue to guide, after this distance they switch to dumb-fire. (15000 units)
Removed vehicle missile guidance from seat 2, this didn’t make any sense to keep. Missiles should only by guided by the driver if he is in seat 1.
Changed RPG missile guidance to work slightly differently, this should fix situations where just pressing the attack button throws the missile off-center.
Changed vehicle guided missiles to be influenced by vehicle turret’s rotation rather than using a “Laser guided” homing effect.

Infantry Weapons

SMG1/2 Melee damage change reverted (Was 70, changed to 50, now back to 70 again)
BE Pistol 2 Headshot multiplier increased from 2x -> 2.5x
SMG1 spread increment decreased (33% standing, 50% crouched, 65% prone)
SMG1 damage increased from 17 -> 18
Improved BEAR - Base spread improved by 25%, Ironsight spread multiplier decreased from 0.83 to 0.6
Tweaked scout sway values in reflection of last update
- Base Sway pattern size reduced very slightly
- Sway speed is slightly faster
- Maximum sway speed increased (This is mostly for jumping/sprinting to cause more inaccuracy)
- Accuracy upgrade sway reduction changed from 25% to 10% (25% proved to be too much so dropping this significantly)
- Squad Accuracy Aura now affects scout sway, reduces sway by an additional 10% (This will rarely be used, however for consistency with the aura affecting other weapons this has been added.)

Empires 2.30.3 Released!

Empires Mod - Smithy

We're happy to announce version 2.30.3 which is live on Steam right now. Changelog below and also on our wiki:

Come join us on Discord!

Did you know we are porting this mod to Unreal Engine? You can follow its development on our website, https://empiresmod.com

Changelog:

Bug fixes

Fixed a bug where infantry weapon spread wasn’t decrementing when going to iron-sights.
Fixed a bug with squad aura effects not being reapplied properly. (Most noticeable with squad accuracy upgrade as it wasn’t consistently being applied, using cl_dynamiccrosshair it appeared to cause spread to pulse)
Fixed an issue where players would appear to be hovering when entering a vehicle while in mid air. (The sitting animation wasn’t being set properly)
Fixed an issue with the scout rifle sway being able to be disabled if the player turned off prediction. (Sway speed will be slightly different than before given that it had to be re-implemented using a different method.)
Fixed the “Grenade Timer” script variable not being set for vehicle grenades, previously they were hard-coded to a 3 second detonation time.
Fixed an issue with “BioResist” script property not being set properly for Bio DoT damage on players. (Bio damage was using the wrong resist type)
Fixed some issues with the buildings script file which caused issues with the commander selection box display. (When selecting some engineer build-ables the selection box size was wrong or missing.)
Fixed an issue with concussion grenades being able to damage vehicles.

Script/Game Balance

Tanks are no longer able to fire if their cannon is penetrating an object. (The exception to this is other vehicles/players)
Changed BEHR iron-sight zoom to match the other rifles, previously it had less zoom than the other rifles in the game.
Scout rifle sway is now affected by the accuracy upgrade skill. (At first this will be a 25% sway reduction, this might be change based in the future if it needs balancing)
Increased explosion force to vehicles slightly as the previous change reduced it too much.
Increased APC cost by 50
Reduced all turret costs by 25

Empires 2.30.1 Released!

Empires Mod - Smithy

We're happy to announce version 2.30.1 which is live on Steam right now. Changelog below and also on our wiki:

Come join us on Discord!

Did you know we are porting this mod to Unreal Engine? You can follow its development on our website, www.empiresmod.com

Features

Added a new particle effect for turrets disabled by concussion grenades.
Changes to how re-equip functions:
- Re-equip will now restore the previously active weapon, provided the player still has the same weapon.
  - NOTE: Previously the active weapon would be changed to the weapon in slot 2 regardless of what the player was previously holding.
- Re-equip now saves the reload state of a grenadier's RPG & Mortar and restores the original reload state of the weapon, provided the player isn't swapping to be a grenadier. In which case they would both be provided requiring a reload before use.
  - NOTE: Spawning as grenadier is unchanged, both weapons will be provided already loaded.
- Re-equip now saves the engineer kit charge and restores the original charge, provided the player isn't swapping to be a engineer. In which case the engineer kit would be provided empty.
  - NOTE: Spawning as engineer is unchanged, the engineer kit will still be provided with full charge.
- Sabotage progress will now reset after 2 minutes.
  - NOTE: Previously sabotage progress would persist forever, this wasn't ideal behaviour given some rounds can last over an hour.

Bug fixes

Fixed some issues with burst fire weapons that prevented us from implementing them.
- NOTE: Previously you had to hold the primary fire button to fire all of the burst. This is no longer the case, burst fire should now work exactly as expected.
Fixed a mismatch between the client & server relating to vehicle bullets effects. Vehicle MG tracers on the client had different angles than on the server for vehicles with offset MG model attachments.
Fixed a small mismatch between the client & server relating to player bullet effects. This was an issue that affected bullet spread, essentially there could be a slight variance which was caused by differing player velocity values on the client/server. This mismatch should now be significantly reduced.
Fixed a small mismatch in bullet spread caused by the Rifleman's squad aura accuracy increase. Previously the spread reduction was only applied on the server, this is now fixed.
Fixed a visual bug where bullet tracers were slightly offset from where they were supposed to emit from.
Fixed a client/server mismatch relating to player angles whilst in vehicles. (Hitboxes on server would differ from what was represented on the client)
Fixed a bug with weapon spread, where if you tried to attack while out of ammo it would still increase your weapon spread.
Fixed a bug where squad arty could collide with the map's skybox if the ray cast was exactly 4000 units.
Fixed refinery starting health not using the value defined in scripts.
Fixed the bounding box being larger than intended for BE AFV model. This would cause mines to trigger even if the afv wasn't visually over the mine.
Fixed the research description for the top icon not updating properly.
Fixed some particle effects being assigned to the wrong model attachment. (Previously particles could only be correctly spawned from model attachments 1-32 due to a network restriction, however models can have up to 512 attachments and some of our vehicles have ~40)
Fixed some occasions where the Hit Tick HUD element could get stuck on screen.
Fixed the width of HudMessage HUD element not spanning the whole screen. This is sometimes used by server addons. (Sourcemod plugins)
Fixed a crash when trying to apply damage to tanks using server addons. (Sourcemod plugins)
Fixed a bug relating to engineer charge not regenerating correctly whilst holstered.
Dead players no longer emit the resupply sound.
Fixed an issue with missile having the wrong death notice icon.
Commander placed turrets no longer float in the air slightly.
Fixed an exploit caused by wall placement:
- Walls are no longer allowed to be placed if the preview model intersects with the local player.
- emp_unstuck is now only called if the player is actually stuck inside a building. Previously an unstuck would be scheduled regardless of if the player was stuck. In some circumstances this was being abused.
- This change is primarily aimed to combat an exploit that was frequently being used by some players to reach areas of the map that weren't accessible through other means.
- NOTE: These changes can be a little restrictive in the heat of battle. Depending on how these changes work in the short-term this behaviour may be tweaked in the future if the placement becomes a bigger problem than the exploit it resolves.

Other changes

Changed turret and wall gibs to last for 8 seconds instead of 15. They now fade out in the last 2 seconds instead of 3.
Re-enabled the HUD hint element that is sometimes used by server addons. (Sourcemod plugins)

Changes to player collision

This deserved a section all to itself this patch since a lot has changed.

Set default "sv_turbophysics" to 0 (This is the default in games like TF2 and shouldn't be changed back to 1 as it may cause unexpected behaviour)
- This changes physical interactions between players and objects in the game.
- Players can no longer push objects with the use button. (This was rarely used in Empires anyway.)
- Players now have physical mass which will influence other physics objects. (For example standing on tanks will affect the suspension)
In a previous update the player "surrounding bounds" were changed to be automatically updated based on player hitbox positions.
- This had positives and negatives
- The biggest positive is that it fixed a problem where bullets would miss hitboxes entirely.
- However because sv_turbophysics was previously set as 1 by default for Empires, this meant the surrounding box determined player collision. As a result, players often got stuck in each other. (For example if you jumped on top of someone while they were moving)
So instead, with sv_turbophysics 0; the player collisions are separated from the "surrounding bounds" and resolves the player getting stuck.
- As a result of this we can go back to using a static size for the player "surrounding bounds". Which resolves bullets hitting hitboxes, without the additional calculations for determining the size. (Prone is still automatically determined by hitbox sizes because of the large width of the player in that stance.)

Other changes made as a result of the above

[/list]

Implemented various improvements to prevent players from getting stuck.
- This includes an automatic check to fix a player stuck in a building.
- New and improved system which should prevent players from getting stuck inside each other
Some small changes to player movement to make things a little smoother.
- Eye offset positions for the player stances now transition a bit better and should feel a bit more polished.
- Prone now triggers on button press rather than release.
- Transitioning to prone is now slightly slower from the crouched position (Roughly 10%). (This is because it now maintains the same speed as transitioning from standing)
- Fixed some issues where eye angles would not be at the correct height. (An example of this is spamming crouch whilst transitioning to prone)
- Holding prone whilst in the air will cause you to start proning when you land.
All projectiles now have a 0.25s grace period where they will not collide with players of the same team. (This includes grenades/missiles/shells for both players and vehicles)
Fixed a potential client crash caused by console command "physicsshadowupdate_render"
Tweaked player physical bounding box for the prone stance (Slightly taller than before)
Tweaked player eye positions for the standing & prone stances to better reflect the actual position of the players head on the model.
- The idea behind this is to prevent situations where enemies could shoot you but you couldn't see their head. (Like shooting over walls)
Implemented a new system to prevent players from going prone under vehicles that are low to the ground.
Vehicle road kills are now driven by the game engine's VPhysics system instead of the previous system which use raycasts to check road kills based on an timer/interval.
- Using this new system any vehicle collision that occurred with the vehicle travelling over 15MPH will be a guaranteed road kill. If less than this the physics system will determine the damage. (Slightly scaled up for vehicles compared to other physics objects)
Shooting physics objects previously didn't apply any force to them, this is no longer the case.
Lowered force applied to players from taking damage (bullets/explosions etc)
- MG Turrets now apply a small amount of damage force but this shouldn't be game altering.
- Melee now applies a small amount of damage force, essentially the same as bullets already do.

Script/Game Balance

Scout hide is no longer removed when taking damage.
- This was added as part of a previous bug-fix but the behaviour isn't really ideal.
Bullet spread distribution for players & vehicles is now circular rather than square.
Tweaked fall damage distances to be more forgiving. (HL2 values were in use but Empires uses a higher gravity amount by default)
- Also tweaked the distance that the landing recoil effect triggers as this was too low and was being triggered when crouch jumping.
Infantry Weapons' Kick has been changed to push the player's view up instead of to the top right.
