SpringFiles: Evolution RTS – Higher Grounds

Version: 12 Spring Maps Freeware

Name is EvoRTS Higher Grounds v12, coming soon to a springfiles and plasma server near you (maybe within the next day or so).

It’s a remake of “Higher Grounds v2” by flopflop. New texture, new heightmap (based on the original), ssmf, normalmapped, etc etc and pretty features!

All map features are 10 energy, 0 metal and can be reclaimed. Fences/lightpoles/etc are non-blocking.

Umm, looks like I’mma have to bake evo’s metalmap in, but will provide a config in the map suitable for *A/ZK (or you can just use evo’s layout… it’s pretty good). (Config is in map configs folder)

Zero-K: Zero-K v1.1.2.0

Forget the new engine version, we’re going in! New graphics, some long-awaited balance changes, and even a funky new GUI skin await in this February’s stable.

== Graphics ==

* New models for Crane, Rapier, Valkyrie and Vindicator by Exit_Wound
* New EMP missile trails
* New slowbeam, Halberd & Buoy impact FX
* Add flashing effect when a unit is resurrected
* Fixed Dominatrix beam position
* Fixed Detriment triple gun animation
* Fixed normals on amphibs and some jumpbots

== Units ==

Annihilator:
* Cost 1500 -> 1800
* Reload time 8s -> 10s

DDM:
* Main cannon range 700 -> 650

Phoenix
* No longer deforms ground

Starlight
* Fixed divergence between continuous and pulse beams at long range

Firefly (companion drone):
* Health 160 -> 200

Newtons are less effective against gunships.

Valkyrie accelerates and ascends/descends much faster (general buff, nerfs transport launchers).

All aircraft can be ordered to manually land at airpads, not just bombers.

Anti-air missiles can be fired at much higher targets depending on the missile’s flight time.

Sumo:
* Jump reload time 18s -> 15s

Disco Rave Party:
* Yellow shot damage 0 -> 800

Wreckages for Flea and Gnat. Now all non-suicidal units (not Claw, Tick, Roach, Blastwing, Puppy, Skuttle) should have wreckages.

Fixed some impulse values for weapons (in particular, this includes a buff for Leveler, commander Riot Cannon and Concussion Shell, Disco Rave Party and Zenith).

== Commanders ==

Singleplayer (non-modular) comms can morph to higher levels.

Hellfire Grenade:
* Reload time 16s -> 12s

High Power Servos:
* Speed bonus 10% -> 15%

== Interface ==

* Keybinds are now saved to LuaUI/Configs/zk_keys.lua, rather than being hidden in LuaUI/Configs
* Resorted many menu options to make the menu less cluttered. As a side effect, some options may be reset.
* New GUI skin: Twilight
* Any unit’s description window can be accessed through Help -> Unit Descriptions
* Binding a key to a unit command also binds Shift+key, if it was not part of the original keyset
* Camera mode selection uses radio buttons
* Construction priority has a floating icon (when Shift is held)
* Added option for selection window background color
* Fixed cursor transparency under certain hardware settings
* Fixed clickable areas on chat
* Fixed negative healthbars
* Auto Reclaim/Heal/Assist is now under Units category in list

== CAI ==

* CAI checks for enemies near mex spots before attempting to mex
* Constructors with jumpjets will use them to escape enemies

== Chicken ==

* Speed mode is now a modoption
* New chicken defense, the Rafflesia static shield

== Missions ==

* Persistent messages are stored in history; look better in non-default skins

== Misc. ==

* Advanced (COFC) camera handles more smoothly and reliably; resets state with just Ctrl+Alt+middleclick (previously Shift was needed as well) * Widget settings are backed up at each run
