[lamster]

================================================== ===============
May 19th, 2010

Added official map ball_asteroids (thanks Boko)

Updated tutorial maps

Added "Export -> Collapsed Screenshot" to Map Editor

Fixed automatic update issue when multiple server launcher instances are running on one computer
Fixed rendering bug with Map Editor -> Edit Hull
Fixed bot debug memory leak that was crashing some servers

[CCN]

I think you missed one/

4. Made trickster useful (do some damage, maybe more bounces for a roll change, as it takes 2 full charged and a third non full shot to kill a whale now=()



But thx for fixes

Also what time is it where you live?
Early morning in EST/PST. 8am GMT+1/2 for Europe.

Midnight codinggggggg

Ah good stuff and good luck (Yay more players)!

If you get to write a blurb please mention don't forget us hardwall tbdérs need fresh meat (we'll be nice)!

Cool, it's nothing that really changed gameplay but ball_asteroids becoming official is cool.

a bunch more were missed too, imo

-rubber hull immunity to emp/acid
-HC gets it's (pre-nerf) pierce back
-rev thrust requires less energy and "thrusts" more
-rev thrust has auto-stall function for quicker activation of rev engine

but thanks for the update anyways =D

HC is strong enough as it is.
A stronger rev would take much more control, nerf/buff is debateable.
Rubber hull immunity to emp and acid? There are no hard counters in the game, this would change that dynamic.

Free Weekend on Steam?

Expand.

Thanks for making ball_asteroids official, Gemi for hosting it on the arr servers and Protest Boy for almost all of the graphics!

And I always knew those bots were screwing the servers up.

[Evan20000]

You missed "trickster now kills everything just by looking at it". :P

Anyway, good update. That rendering bug was kind of annoying.

Did it really get a buff? I don't get it why a plane who is already so OP for Ball is getting a buff.

its a crap map that needs a lot of work. first, the goals are WAAY too low and the map is not nearly tall enough. it feels like ur playing in one big line with a ton of rocks... not in a landscape. secondly, there are tiny rocks at the bottom that create the weirdest ****in bounces... uggh im gonna be vote changemap everytime i can when that pops up.

[Nikon]

When are some of my maps going to become official? Like, ball_atmosphere, ball_hardcourt, ball_ocean, and ball_pixelized. Does anyone like those maps?

Don't know about the rest as I haven't tested them, but atmosphere needs a lot of work to be a good competitive map.

ball_cube is a map that I like, although I'm not sure if it might need a couple of tiny fixes.

[Cpt. Slow]

Wow, there is about full servers Is that becaouse of "Host your game" button?

edit: uh, i Just saw steam promotion + 1000 begginers

I'd say it was the servers number of players limit.

ball_cube is an awesome map. much better than asteroids imo, and definitely ready to be made official. asteroids is too cluttered. I think nikon's maps also have some potential. if they were played more maybe he could get some better feedback on them. anyone want to host? (those circle things in the corners of atmosphere arent so nice though lol)

can we get nikon's maps onto {arr} 1/2? that way we can test them out on frequently active servers.

[gemigemi]

I'm making some large scale adjustments to the arr servers soon. Here's a list:

- Remove SkyLeague servers now that SkyLeague is over.
- Add 1x TBD and 1x TDM server.
- Make all servers hard walls.
- Add some of the new ball maps for testing purposes.

I hope that satisfies your all needs.

[FireFox]

good update, nice map btw boko!!

[Firestrike]

Yea, astroids is a great map! They other updates didn't seem very important to me, however.

[asparagus]

trickster needs a buff in the sense of more bounces and slightly more powerful




and like the asteroids map boko
