Balance[]
- Increased mature Hydra health by 30%. Decreased spread on hydra spikes so they are more accurate. Removed inaccuracy versus fast-moving targets.
- Reduced Lerk umbra energy cost from 30 to 25.
- Reduced Marine total sprint distance and recovery time to make more intentional. Added "out of breath" sound effect when you run to exhaustion.
- The MAC is no longer able to weld for 1 second after taking damage.
- Adjusted minimum (and minimum-emergency) Egg spawn rates to increase the spawn rate when many aliens are dead.
- Increased Exosuit research from 20 to 30.
Fixes[]
- Attempt to improve wall jumping by adding more of a vertical boost.
- Fix server browser column sorting order (e.g. first click on the ping column will always sort in ascending order).
- Fixed TechNode:GetHasTech on client side.
- Fixed aliens not being able to damage partially repaired Power Nodes.
- Fixed bug causing the first click on the Commander minimap to be ignored.
- Fixed bug where aliens could upgrade the same Hive type multiple times.
- Fixed bug where Gorge could attack during belly slide.
- Fixed bug where marine could purchase weapons when in Vortex.
- Fixed bug where other players would not hear the Pistol attack sound.
- Fixed bug where the GUI would stop updating after hot-loading Lua files.
- Fixed bug where the server could send an update to the client even if the world had not been updated (could cause poor interpolation for server side simulated objects).
- Fixed crash when calling destroy on a nil render object.
- Fixed exploit where a player could gain unresearched abilities when evolving with a commander dropped egg to a higher life form.
- Fixed incorrect icons displaying on the death screen (The pistol will not display when you are killed by the Exo Minigun for example).
- Fixed incorrect interpolation of Hand Grenades.
- Fixed issue where the Exosuit interior was lit by the outside world when the cockpit was closed.
- Fixed issue with commander ping interfering with default voice keybind (ping can now only be triggered with mouse button 3 or the icon at the minimap).
- Fixed script error caused by using sv_say or sv_tsay without providing any message.
- Fixed spike attack sound triggered too early.
- Fixed vortexed units being affected by Bile Bomb.
- Increased Lerk spore energy cost a bit so they can't be spammed forever with Adrenaline.
- Increased Lerk umbra radius a bit to more accurately match the effect.
- Insight - tech point damage audio and flashing red warning not working.
- Marine Commander sees now player health bars again.
- Moved Shade to use ModelMixin; it animates too much for it to be a good ClientModelMixin candidate.
- |Sentries now correctly attack hallucinations.
- Server/Client side hitbox mismatch for some structures.
- Shooting the Shift will always result in damage now, it was inconsistent before.
- The Exo no longer displays the weapon switch indicator at the bottom of the screen.
- The Exo no longer tracks cloaked enemies on the UI.
- The Mine will no longer damage enemies on the other side of a wall.
- The Mine will no longer explode when it detects an enemy through a wall.
- The button image for Welder on the Commander interface is no longer blank.
- Weapons will no longer float above the Marine after they are knocked down to the ground from the Onos stomp ability.
Improvements[]
- Added an image that is displayed on the UI when there are connection problems to alert the player.
- Camera is closer to egg when you're evolving: looks better and makes you paranoid about what might be sneaking up on you.
- Marines now drop weapons which cost resources (same as when they die) before entering an exosuit.
- The sv_status command may now be used by all clients on the server.
ns2_summit[]
- Fixed problem where you couldn’t drop anything between Sub Access and Maintenance.
- Fixed some Commander building exploits (Thanks rantology!).
ns2_tram[]
- Detailing changes in Repair room, added tram tunnel signs.
- Fixed texture issues in some rooms.
Optimizations[]
- Changed precached cinematics to be loaded when the client starts.
- Fixed issue where materials could be loaded and unloaded during ray tracing.
SDK[]
- Fixed hot loading of textures and surface shaders in the tools.
- IP address is no longer displayed in sv_status, sv_statusip can be used for that now (only available for admins).
Sound[]
- No more girl screams.
