2.3.7 has been released!

Post by cybersphinx »

Time for another 2.3 release!

Apart from the usual heap of bugfixes and translation updates, this release includes some multiplayer rebalancing to adjust for the working-again armour: MG damage to cyborgs was increased by 10%, to tracks decreased by 10%, and to bunkers decreased 5%. Cannon damage to buildings and hardpoints increased 10%, to bunkers increased 25%. Also, the AI got some new top level templates, which hopefully make it a bit more dangerous in the end game.

Download:
As usual, downloads can be found on our download page or directly on Sourceforge.

Bug Reports:
As usual, we need bug reports to fix problems in the game. Please note that we use tickets only to track bugs, for discussions about how features should work and feature requests we have a dedicated forum section.

For bug reports, see BugReporting for details, in short:
  • Search the existing tickets for your problem, if the problem has already been fixed in SVN, the ticket will be closed.
  • If there is an open one already, feel free to add more info to it.
  • If there is no report yet, make a new ticket.
  • Be as detailed as possible in both summary and description, and either log in with your forum account or leave an email address so we can contact you if we need more information.
  • The more information we have, the easier it is to fix problems, so include savegames/instructions to reproduce the bug, crashdumps, backtraces, screenshots for graphical problems... if you have.
  • When you attach files to a ticket, please add each text/image file separately and uncompressed, so we can view them easily in trac (savegames can and should be zipped, they consist of name.gam, possibly name.es, and the files in the name/ folder).

If I understand correctly, 3.0-beta is 2.3.current + new gfx. Will there be another 3.0-beta release based on this one?

I tried a skirmish on GreatRift yesterday. All AI opponents (strength slider on max) used the same research strategy and attacked by airforce only - ok, they sent some toy tanks in addition, but did not build heavy body tanks. Games like this can be boring. Are there plans to use personalities for the AI opponents to choose from, as you can in Dydo-AI?

And of course: Many thanks to the developers, designers, admins, testers,...!

@Happy Camper: The problem is exactly that the AI has two personalities, and you met Mr Airforce, which produces only light tanks and aircraft. If you play a master snapshot, you can try to play against the semperfi AI, where both personalities (air and ground) are more flexible that way. I will probably port over most of these changes from semperfi to the default AI later when it has been tested more.

Ignore Mr_E, he's even more of a pain in real life. I'll try to keep him from spamming you with pointless questions in the future.

I noticed that sometimes indirect weapons shoot into the ground when you build them on top of a mesa. In earlier versions of the game, mortars fired in high arcs over the cliffs when aiming at targets in canyons. I mean, isn't that how indirect weapons are supposed to work?
