BallisticPro Changelogs

[Azarael]

Freon

• Enforced thaw delay. You may not receive teammate thaws if your thaw percentage is lower than 13%. Overtime ignores this restriction.

PeaceMaker

• Capacity down from 90 to 60.
• No longer has excessive knockback.
• Reduced the size of the MRL's effects.
• Altfire fixed.

Longhorn

• Fast grenades no longer explode on contact with a player after rebounding. They will bounce off and drop to the floor, exploding after their timer expires. In order to fire indirectly, the manual detonation mode is required.
• Impact damage for a Longhorn grenade is proportional to speed. It's linear.
• Detonation delay for the Longhorn's Fast grenades increased from 0.42s to 1s.

Raygun

• Fixed excessive knockback on all modes.
• The Raygun has a maximum hold time. You must fire within 0.75 seconds of full charge or the weapon will simply discharge. Attempting to get around this by releasing and pressing the fire key again will result in you hitting the retrigger delay and losing your charge anyway.
• Raygun charges in 1.75 seconds, down from 2.5.
• Fixed the Raygun's plague mechanics. If you're within the radius of a plague trigger when it's created, you will be plagued. If you are within the radius of a plague bolt that hits someone, you will receive the full duration just as you would have if you walked into the trigger a millisecond after that bolt had hit.
• As I don't know how the above is going to pan out, Raygun plague bolt damage down to 40 from 60. Raygun plague damage per tick down to 5 from 6. Ticks twice per second for 8 seconds, 80 damage.

For better or for worse, the course of the next week is set.

Bugfixes

Raygun

• Fixed a bug causing the client, but not the server, to fire when a shot was made just after full charge was reached.

XOXO Staff

• Resolved issue with incorrect start location for XOXO Stream fire.

[Azarael]

New Default

• The weapon selection UI defaults to "off". If you wanted it on, type Ballistic in the console, go to Preferences and check "Use Weapon Selection UI".

[Azarael]

General

• Optimisation patch - optimized HUD code a bit, removed an expensive duplicate function. Made detail reduction more aggressive on low settings because of recent complaints about lag, but the price for this is that I'll be checking your settings, and if you use the lowest detail settings for advantage and not out of necessity, you will be penalized for the abuse.
  The HUDFix package has changed. If you have it installed, remove it and extract the server's version. Alternatively update from http://www.mediafire.com/download/5cxab ... elease.rar

Freon

• Players in blue frozen status (% less than 13) are not affected by weapons which thaw frozen players.

MAU-52 Target Designator

• Will not be reported when claimed.
• Gives no strike warning.

[Azarael]

SAR-12

• Blind charges in 0.5 seconds with a sound.
• Can't fire while charging blind (trigger finger is used to hold the switch.)

Raygun

• Fixed Raygun not playing charge sound to non-owning clients.

[Azarael]

Killstreaks

• If you have a streak of a given level active on a particular life, you will not gain a reserve streak of that level or any lower level on the same life.
