Release 4.1.0 - The Big Balance Update

Post by pastdue »

With 380 commits since the last release, it's time for Warzone 2100 v4.1.0!

This release includes approximately 3 years of work on campaign balance & fixes (the "camBalance" mod), as well as numerous fixes for multiplayer balance.

Beware: "Insane" campaign difficulty should now be a challenge for even the most experienced of players. (New players should stick with a lower difficulty level.)

4.1.0 Highlights:
  • Merge of the "camBalance" mod that revamps campaign balance and fixes numerous issues
  • Numerous multiplayer balance tweaks (see full changelog for details)
  • Fix fog, add an option to toggle it on
  • New design menu stats delta display
  • Add a single player quit confirmation screen
  • Allow building modules/derricks in a row (with drag & build)
  • Add support for binding same keys to multiple actions in non-conflicting contexts
  • Allow assigning key bindings to mouse keys
  • Add "selection without group" hotkeys
  • Move the whole group to the target location, not only the command droid
  • New cheat `makemehero` makes selected units hero rank
  • General improvements to Cobra AI / accounts for new balance changes
  • Fix: Muzzle flash effects for Gauss, laser, and all kinds of weapons
  • Fix: Several crash & UI soft-lock issues
  • Fix: Various save-loading issues
  • Fix: Do not handle RMB click while panning the camera
  • Fix: Unclosable panels and flicker when using the Intelligence map and Design menus
  • Fix: Heavy CPU usage on the Intelligence map
  • Fix: VTOL collision with ground units
  • Fix: Normalmapping of 3D models in menus / buttons
  • Many other bug fixes

After updating from 4.0.1. to 4.1.0, I've noticed that the voice audio in the FMVs is a lot quieter than it was. It also seems to fluctuate between quiet and can't-hear-anything. All audio settings have been played with but none of them affect the FMVs.

EDIT: Okay, turns out that it was my surround system that was messing it up. I still had it in Night Mode which apparently doesn't like Warzone. Putting it back into Standard Mode for the speakers made it sound like it should.

I dunno what happened but in this latest version I am unable to win any single skirmish match. I play Warzone since release of the original end of the 1990's and most versions of the GPL Warzone too, but I never before experienced something like this. :(
