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

Great changes!

But you still overlooked one typo when you were changing the speeds of the Valyrie. It still has speed 10.7 :S

I really like the new gunship models, I think they fit nicely with the Gnat, Blackdawn and Krow, though now the Banshee is the odd design out (though I do like it).

I also really like the settings rearrangement. Interface was utterly bloated before.

Also, the use of ZK_keys.lua is very very nice. I'll have to check if those settings carry over to SP, though. Seems like that is part of the point.

havent had any crashes so far. Played at least 5 single player games vs AI and locally.

http://pastebin.com/xk368nJm crashed for me and other player

i think vindigator looks to big for its speed...

:D the napalm nade is back!

woo wooo!

the reload nerf really killed it but now i can bring back my fireman com!

NP, I know you suck at balancing.

Those new models look great. Now that we have a new model for Crane, could we keep the old Crane model on the airplane lab and use the new model on the Gunship lab and give them different stats? (like making the Gunship con slower-but-tougher or something)? It'd be nice to get rid of the one case where you have a single unit in two different labs.

Fixed wing con could drop mini nano bombs :)
