SpringFiles: XTA

Version:  9.725p1.7 Games Demo / Shareware

1.7

* Fix bug in crashing aircraft. Small fix to selfdcount widget. Crashing aircraft crash after having lost all hp. Chance still 33%. Lose radar and LOS when crashing.

1.6
Patch 1.6, 26.1.13
———————————
* Fixed wrong player faction update in adv. playerslist

* Added widget with sound when cloaking, decloaking

* Added widget with sound when ordering self-d

* Added cursor out of range when ordering attack. Drop attack order when static defense orders an attack on ground, which is of range.

* Split sounds into following categories: explosions, gui and unitreply. Each has different parameters. This should also fix local sounds modoption, although that’s hard to test without many players in a battle.

* Changed limit for shallow water from 50 to 25. Updated sound and splash gadgets. Changed CEG for splash and deep undersurface hit. Edit: there are two limits: 25 depth is when water is shallow. If explosion occurs above 5 then the explosion is termed shallow.

* Crashing aircraft can occur when hp is below 50%, and odds reduced from 100% to 33% Those are just some fast numbers and they can be tweaked. I don’t think 100% should crash though.

* Remove Recvluarulesmsg callin after game start

* Improved performance of minimapX gadget. Fixed no self pwn one.

* Missions were added, but they are not part of this patch.

Zero-K: Zero-K v1.1.1.2

Lots of improvements were made over the month. UI optimizations, bugfixes, a few new features. But not all the changes are good, for there’s something strange in the neighborhood…

== New Halloween Ghost Possession gamemode (beta) ==
A galaxy is in danger, a new supernatural foe, ghosts possessing robots are stirring up trouble for it’s rulers.
In this gamemode, you are required not only to conquer the galaxy, but make sure not to fall to ghost possession and become a sword that kills your own allies!

The rules are simple, damage (lower health to 1/3) or emp (any amount) to unpossess any unit or structure. There are 5 difficulty levels. Just pick up one and play with or against your friends with this supernatural foe that picks neither side!

== General ==
* AFK players transfer metal along with units.
* New set of loading screens.
