−
v13.3 (aka the "Rain, Reduction, Rarity, and Resupply!" release) has been released to the installer. This is a chunky patch, so let's waste no time.  
+
== v15.1 ==
  
−
'''NEW FEATURE:''' EnvironmentalDesignMasks has been created and then incorporated into BTA. EDM creates an entire weather system for BTA missions, complete with mechanical effects. Clear days do nothing, of course, but if you drop and there's a hurricane, you're gonna have some effects. Ye be warned. Every weather that does something has a status icon you can hover over for details and each time you drop and there's weather one of your crew will pop up a dialogue box reminding you of the weather and its rough effects, so don't skip over those boxes!
+
v15.1 (aka the "It Has New Content So It Gets Its Own Patch Number" patch) has been released to the installer. This is a pretty small patch but worth some attention so let's hop to it:
  
−
'''NEW FEATURE:''' Damage Reduction and the cover system has been completely overhauled. For details, please see the blog post that accompanies this patch, a full break down is beyond the scope of this post. Evasion is unaffected by these changes and remains as-is.
+
'''NEW MECH:''' The Gulon, a 25 ton industrial mech with a sick-ass drill (the drill spins!!), has dug its way out of the earth and into combat. Get it from the Industrial Mech start, from the Outworlds Alliance, *or* buy one of its many variants from Aliance Motors on Sevon, in the Outworlds Alliance.
  
−
'''NEW FEATURE:''' In-mission ammo resupply and armor repair systems have been implemented! You can now get access to the J-27 Resupply Truck and the Mobile Field Base which permit you to perform these functions. The J-27 Resupply Truck permits ammo resupply and the Mobile Field Base permits armor repair (not structure or component, just armor). There's also a dedicated truck for resupplying the Kalki Cruise Missile Tank (in WoB faction store). See the FAQ post that accompanies this patch for details on how the system works!
+
'''NEW MECH:''' The Thunder Hammer, an experimental fork of the Warhammer, has arrived on the battlefield. The Thunder Hammer is a Sanctuary Worlds mech and you can get it from any of the Sanctuary Powers in combat and also buy it from the Mallard Republic's faction store. Also, FYI, the Thunder Hammer does have a unique model.
  
−
'''NEW FEATURE:''' Airlifting units has been implemented. This system allows you to pick up an allied unit (such as a mech or tank) and fly around with them. Only one unit is capable of performing this function, the Horskr Airlift VTOL. See the FAQ post that accompanies this patch for details on how the system works!
+
'''NEW ASF STRAFING CONTRACT:''' The Slayer ASF has been added. This ASF has 6 Medium Lasers for its strafing runs, letting it do big damage. The Slayer ASF contract is out in the wilds, same as the other ASF strafing contracts.
  
−
'''NEW FEATURE:''' There is now a unit "rarity" system implemented in BTA. Previously, every unit had an equal chance of spawning (once it was selected as a valid target for spawning that is). Now, units have variable chances of spawning based on unit tags. Some units are extremely rare (because they should be, such as LAMs and Superheavies). Other units are very common (such as the most-produced mech of all time, the Archer-2R). Rarity isn't on the wiki yet, we're still workshopping a solution for that, but what you need to know is that general decent level technology (ER/Pulse lasers, gauss, streak SRMs, Artemis IV, this sort of thing) is the most common tech now. Basic level tech (such as 3025-level stuff), real Periphery shit (rifles, rockets, etc), artillery, and really super cutting edge experimental stuff (VSPLs, Bombast Lasers, anything you'd see at Solaris VII) is all rarer. Clans have their own version of this (regular Clan tech and the Omnimechs are most common, second-line designs are less common, real cutting edge stuff like ER Pulse Lasers and Streak LRMs are fairly rare, etc). That should give you a little bit of a feel for things.
+
'''UPDATED MECH:''' I was looking at Industrial Mechs to make the Gulon recently and made a shocking discovery: the Dig King is 35 tons, not 30. BTA had it at 30 tons, because I'm bad at reading I guess, so I went ahead and fixed that. The Dig King's loadouts are now updated and the mech is 35 tons, with proper max armor and structure of a 35 tonner. Enjoy...?
  
−
'''NEW UI FUNCTIONALITY:''' Now, next to the unit's name in-mission where you normally see the evasive pips, you'll see a little breakdown of the unit's Damage Reduction at that moment as well as their evasion pips given in both number and pip count. As a warning, there is occasionally a disconnect in the displayed pips and the displayed pip number. The number is always correct, the pips are wrong, trust the number (it's an obscure HBS rounding error, we're working on fixing it).
+
'''UPDATED INDUSTRIALS:''' Industrial Armor has been created and added to the appropriate units. Industrial Armor resembles Primitive Armor in that it gives you less armor points per ton. However, Industrial Armor does come with an upside: it provides a small amount of Damage Reduction against ballistic weapons (it's meant to deflect rocks while mining or trees while clear-cutting, which seems to fit as a big ballistic hit). Is it worth using? Probably not but you got it anyways.
  
−
'''NEW FACTION:''' You asked for it, you got it! Generic Mercenaries are now an available OpFor faction. You can fight against them essentially anywhere at any time. They have a reasonable spawn list, you can see it on the wiki: any mech that says "Local Mercenaries" is this faction.
+
'''NEW WEAPONS:''' The Sprayer and the Fluid Gun have been added to BTA. This was necessary for the Gulon above. Both weapons are available on several Gulon models and from the planet Sevon in the Outworlds Alliance. Neither is particularly good, but hey, if you want them they exist. Also, the Paint ammo for these weapons has a fun bonus effect of changing the target's actual displayed paint scheme on hit. Enjoy, I guess...?
  
−
'''UPDATED PLANETS:''' The Chaos March has arrived. This is a spread of about 14 planets in the heart of the Inner Sphere right around Terra that are independent worlds. Everyone fights over them, everyone fights on them, it's a chaotic mess (see: they're called the Chaos March). Have a blast.
+
'''FIXED VTOLS:''' The Sanctuary Powers are supposed to field several VTOLs in their forces against the player. However, due to some bad tagging, this was not happening properly. Should be fixed. Right now, neither can be salvaged, but you wanted to fight VTOLs so here you go, enjoy the Cobra and Rabbit Combat VTOLs.
  
−
'''UPDATED BIOMES:''' Historically, getting Lunar or Martian missions has been tricky. Well, tricky no longer! If a planet says "Lunar" or "Martian", it *means it*. Lunar and Martian missions are significantly more common now. Even some normal planets have the biome, there's planet tags for "Colonized Moon" that indicate a planet can have Lunar or Martian missions even if it's not a Lunar or Martian planet.
+
'''FIXED BATTLE ARMOR... FOR NOW:''' Swarming BA have had their special Swarm Attack removed. This was causing lockups during combat and needed to be removed for the time being. It may return in the future.
  
−
'''NEW MECH:''' The Rifleman III, a NullSig-equipped ambush sniper created by Stefan Amaris in the Amaris Civil War, has burst from a building into combat. Good luck! You can get the Rifleman III from the Rim Collection (who found it in a bunker somewhere in the Deep Periphery) and their faction store. It also comes with two extra variants (one LB-2X variant, one Binary Laser Cannon variant).
+
'''BALANCE ADJUSTMENTS:''' The Double-Barrel ACs have seen a minor damage nerf. The DRMs have had their crit chance reduced another 30% (they now have a -70% penalty to crits, though crits are still possible with them).
  
−
'''NEW MECH:''' The Deva, the fifth of the Word of Blake Celestial Omnimechs, has arrived. This heavy omni comes with the usual WoB oddities such as a Small Cockpit and a Retractable Blade. You can get it from the Word of Blake and their faction store.
+
* Bunch of RepMe's have been fixed, including several for Sanctuary powers such as APCs and some assaults.
 +
* Standard Inner Sphere convoy trucks no longer appear in Clan convoy missions.
 +
* The Shadow Hawk SHD-7M now assembles with other Shadow Hawks properly.
 +
* Several models were resized appropriately (Crosscut, Dig King, Gulon).
 +
* Sanctuary cargo crates are not available for salvaging.
 +
* The Locust II's model has been repaired. It had some broken arms and has been fixed.
 +
* The Mechbuster ASF has regained its AC/20 for strafing runs, for now. We'll see how long it lasts.
 +
* Some framework dll updates to fix some corner-case bugs.
  
−
'''NEW MECH:''' The Liberty, a non-canon 65-ton Taurian Concordat Omnimech(!), has been invented and deployed. It's fast for its weight and comes with simple low-tech loadouts. You can get it from the Taurian Concordat and their faction store.
+
'''IMPORTANT:''' v15.1 is an "update" update. In this case, clear your Mods folder manually and then run the installer, it'll do the work for you.
  
−
'''UPDATED MODELS:''' The [[Ostroc]], [[Ostsol]], [[Ostwar]], [[Crusader]], and [[Charger]] models are all updated to actually take paint properly now. They have some quirks (weapons don't take paint and the Crusader/Charger arms don't either) but it's largely a huge upgrade.
+
'''IMPORTANT:''' v15.1 is not a save breaking update, your saves are compatible and will work fine.
  
−
'''UPDATED FLASHPOINT:''' Prototype, the Raven/ECM flashpoint from Urban Warfare, has a new unique Raven as the prototype in question, the -4LX. It has a unique hard-wired Anti-Missile ECM that's pretty special, so it's worth using now. The Rotary ER Medium Lasers don't hurt either.
+
'''REMINDER:''' This update, and others like it, are made possible by my Patreon supporters. Without their support, updates would come slower and be less impactful. If you feel like being a part of the support for BTA, you can find me here: https://www.patreon.com/bloodydoves
 +
 
 +
'''REMINDER:''' Custom mod commissions are still available if you're interested. If you'd like to get your own community content added to BTA DM me, bloodydoves, and we can work something out.
 +
 
 +
== v15.1.1 ==
 +
 
 +
v15.1.1 (aka the "BD Forgot Stuff for 15.1" patch) has been released to the installer. This is a small bug-fixing patch that also includes a new, highly requested, feature:
 +
 
 +
'''PLAYER CONVOY CONTROL:''' That's right, we finally brought it to BTA. During Escort contracts (only standard Escorts, not Flashpoint ones for now) the player will gain control over the convoy units. However, you cannot just suicide them into the enemy, the convoy units must remain close to their intended path (marked by smoke flares) and cannot deviate. However, you get to drive them and let them shoot at stuff. Enjoy!
 +
 
 +
'''NEW ASF STRAFING CONTRACT:''' The Eisensturm ASF strafing contract has been added. The Eisensturm is sort of the last word in strafing runs and comes with twin Gauss Rifles. You can only purchase it from the Lyran Commonwealth's faction store. The contract is *very* expensive.
 +
 
 +
* Clarified the ammo count on the Vehicle Flamer (it's 5).
 +
* Fixed the Reptar's armor to properly be Industrial Armor as intended.
 +
* Fixed the Thunder Hammer's missing quirk. Whoops!
 +
* Fixed spawn list for the Ostsol OTL-7M (was incorrectly spawning as a pirate unit).
 +

−
'''NEW VTOL:''' The Karnov Heavy Transport VTOL has hovered into play. This heavy transport can carry *two* squads of Battle Armor and can support any offensive using its battery of MMLs. You can get it in general Inner Sphere stores, much like the Dakota and the Utakke.
+
'''REMINDER:''' Custom mod commissions are still available if you're interested. If you'd like to get your own community content added to BTA DM me, bloodydoves, and we can work something out.

'''NEW TANK:''' The MRM Saracen is now available from House Kurita shops. MRM in style at high speed!
+

−

+
'''NEW MECH:''' The Tarantula, a 25 ton *quad* with a ton of jumpjets and speed, has scuttled into play. It's pretty cute, go get one! Most major factions field the Tarantula. However, it is also for sale on Stewart, in the FWL.
  
−
* Battle Armor can garrison buildings now! Yay!
+
'''NEW START:''' QUAD START IS HERE! With the advent of the Tarantula, we finally have a light mech for the quad start to be a thing. You're guaranteed 4 quads, a bug, an APC, and some BA. Enjoy!
−
* The [[Weapons#Single_Shot|Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle]] can melee now. Whoops.
 
−
* The Preta got an affinity, Brawler.
 
−
* There are a handful of new mech variants in this patch: the Stone Rhino 4, the Kintaro 21, two Icarus IIs (-2M, -2T), and two King Crabs (-010, -000).
 
−
* The King Crab KGC-BD (bloodydoves's special King Crab in the BTA Calling event) has been significantly upgraded with much more dangerous weaponry.
 
−
* There are now Clan convoy vehicles that drop Clan components. Have fun!

−
* You can now bulk purchase items in the store (hold Ctrl and click to buy 5 at a time!).
 
−
* Blitzkrieg resized down a little, it was too chunky.
 
−

Revision as of 03:57, 27 January 2023

v15.1

v15.1 (aka the "It Has New Content So It Gets Its Own Patch Number" patch) has been released to the installer. This is a pretty small patch but worth some attention so let's hop to it:

NEW MECH: The Gulon, a 25 ton industrial mech with a sick-ass drill (the drill spins!!), has dug its way out of the earth and into combat. Get it from the Industrial Mech start, from the Outworlds Alliance, *or* buy one of its many variants from Aliance Motors on Sevon, in the Outworlds Alliance.

NEW MECH: The Thunder Hammer, an experimental fork of the Warhammer, has arrived on the battlefield. The Thunder Hammer is a Sanctuary Worlds mech and you can get it from any of the Sanctuary Powers in combat and also buy it from the Mallard Republic's faction store. Also, FYI, the Thunder Hammer does have a unique model.

NEW ASF STRAFING CONTRACT: The Slayer ASF has been added. This ASF has 6 Medium Lasers for its strafing runs, letting it do big damage. The Slayer ASF contract is out in the wilds, same as the other ASF strafing contracts.

UPDATED MECH: I was looking at Industrial Mechs to make the Gulon recently and made a shocking discovery: the Dig King is 35 tons, not 30. BTA had it at 30 tons, because I'm bad at reading I guess, so I went ahead and fixed that. The Dig King's loadouts are now updated and the mech is 35 tons, with proper max armor and structure of a 35 tonner. Enjoy...?

UPDATED INDUSTRIALS: Industrial Armor has been created and added to the appropriate units. Industrial Armor resembles Primitive Armor in that it gives you less armor points per ton. However, Industrial Armor does come with an upside: it provides a small amount of Damage Reduction against ballistic weapons (it's meant to deflect rocks while mining or trees while clear-cutting, which seems to fit as a big ballistic hit). Is it worth using? Probably not but you got it anyways.

NEW WEAPONS: The Sprayer and the Fluid Gun have been added to BTA. This was necessary for the Gulon above. Both weapons are available on several Gulon models and from the planet Sevon in the Outworlds Alliance. Neither is particularly good, but hey, if you want them they exist. Also, the Paint ammo for these weapons has a fun bonus effect of changing the target's actual displayed paint scheme on hit. Enjoy, I guess...?

FIXED VTOLS: The Sanctuary Powers are supposed to field several VTOLs in their forces against the player. However, due to some bad tagging, this was not happening properly. Should be fixed. Right now, neither can be salvaged, but you wanted to fight VTOLs so here you go, enjoy the Cobra and Rabbit Combat VTOLs.

FIXED BATTLE ARMOR... FOR NOW: Swarming BA have had their special Swarm Attack removed. This was causing lockups during combat and needed to be removed for the time being. It may return in the future.

BALANCE ADJUSTMENTS: The Double-Barrel ACs have seen a minor damage nerf. The DRMs have had their crit chance reduced another 30% (they now have a -70% penalty to crits, though crits are still possible with them).

  • Bunch of RepMe's have been fixed, including several for Sanctuary powers such as APCs and some assaults.
  • Standard Inner Sphere convoy trucks no longer appear in Clan convoy missions.
  • The Shadow Hawk SHD-7M now assembles with other Shadow Hawks properly.
  • Several models were resized appropriately (Crosscut, Dig King, Gulon).
  • Sanctuary cargo crates are not available for salvaging.
  • The Locust II's model has been repaired. It had some broken arms and has been fixed.
  • The Mechbuster ASF has regained its AC/20 for strafing runs, for now. We'll see how long it lasts.
  • Some framework dll updates to fix some corner-case bugs.

IMPORTANT: v15.1 is an "update" update. In this case, clear your Mods folder manually and then run the installer, it'll do the work for you.

IMPORTANT: v15.1 is not a save breaking update, your saves are compatible and will work fine.
