v18.2 (aka the "Time For Holiday Cheer" patch) has been released to the installer. This patch has a brand new, super cool, feature that has been in production for literally years. Eet excited! I sure am!
  
−
v10.0 (aka the "Motha-Fuggin' Tanks" release) has been released to the installer. This is a major major update, read on to see why:
+
'''WARTECH IIC UPDATED:''' This is the big ticket item folks, the reason for the season. After several years of discussion, development, and more discussion than you would ever believe, a long-awaited feature for Wartech IIC has finally arrived: Extended Contracts. I'm not going to go excessively in-depth about ECs here in the patch notes but you can read about it more on the wiki here: https://www.bta3062.com/index.php?title=Wartech_IIC
  
 +
'''MODTEK UPDATED:''' ModTek has been updated to version 4.2.2. This is an important update that brings with it some performance increases. Do know that for Linux users it might be a little buggy to get working, we've had mixed results with getting it working. We *should* have it sorted out but there is a chance it won't install properly depending on your installation method, so some fiddling may be required on Linux user's ends.
  
−
'''**HOLY SHIT THIS IS IMPORTANT READ THE HELL OUT OF THIS:**''' v10.0 is a '''<u>SAVE BREAKING UPDATE</u>'''. Your old saves are '''*not*''' compatible and you '''*will*''' need to restart your career. This was a necessity for a number of reasons, sorry, but this was the best time to do it.
+
'''CRITICAL UPDATE NOTE:''' Because of the ModTek update, it is absolutely imperative you manually delete your Mods folder before running the installer to update BTAU to v18.2. Be absolutely sure you do this.
  
−
'''**THIS IS IMPORTANT IIC:**''' v10.0 '''*hard requires*''' a new installer. We have updated the installer on the [https://www.nexusmods.com/battletech/mods/452 Nexus], you MUST get it to get v10.0. This was done to repair a critical issue that we discovered in the installer. Since we are save-breaking this update anyway, this was the best time to force an installer update.
+
'''SUBSTANTIAL MAP UPDATES:''' In order to improve performance, we've done some backend changes to the starmap. We've removed a lot of things that were fundamentally unnecessary and took some limited processing power to sort through. Players are unlikely to see the difference visually since we're talking about milliseconds of performance improvements but hey, every bit helps over a long career.
  
 +
'''FACTION STORE UPDATES:''' The Outworlds Alliance now sells all three types of ATM ammo for their Improved MMLs. Clan Snow Raven now sells the proper aidrop contract for an Omen instead of for a Nova Cat Prime as well as also selling two Pulverizer variants.
  
−
'''NEW FUNCTIONALITY:''' Playable Tanks have rumbled onto the field of battle! Tanks can now be purchased from shops, as well as salvaged from the battlefield. Note that only *some* tanks are available for purchase and to be salvaged, not all tanks, so you can't get everything, just a select curated list we've put together. All five Great Houses, [[ComStar]], and the four major Periphery states ([[Taurian Concordat|Taurians]], [[Magistracy of Canopus|Canopians]], [[Outworlds Alliance|Outworlds]], [[Marian Hegemony|Marians]]) will sell you their unique tank lists. Additionally, there are general Inner Sphere and Periphery tank lists in stores. Tanks have a few oddnesses, please see the FAQ post about playable tanks for details. Tanks *do* count against your overall drop tonnage, so keep that in mind.
+
'''UPDATED TERRAN HEGEMONY WORLDS:''' For new careers, the Terran Hegemony will have a slightly modified OpFor roster on their worlds. Instead of Local Gov, you can face Word of Blake. Does not apply to existing careers, only to new ones.
  
−
'''NEW FUNCTIONALITY:''' Tanks have been a source of consternation for a lot of players. The main complaint was that stripping evasion from tanks was difficult. Well, that's fixed now. If you use melee against tanks, specifically a kick, it will strip 2 evasion off of them. Yet another reason to give 'em the boot.
+
'''PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT ADJUSTED:''' The OpFor specialities that offer discounts in stores have had their values reduced to help curb the possibility of getting profit in their stores.  
  
−
'''UPDATED FUNCTIONALITY:''' Consecutive bleedout injuries now stack together instead of running in parallel like they used to. If you have a bleedout injury and you suffer another one, it multiplies your current timer by 0.75 and that's your new bleedout timer. This *can* put you to 0 rounds, eject or die, so keep an eye on it.
+
'''AETHER UPDATED:''' At BlueWinds request, Aether has been updated. She now has a new portrait and a new special pilot skill, Speed of Light, that gives increased ground speed but also reduced weapons range at all ranges. Existing instances of Aether in your career will retain her old ability and portrait. This change only applies to new careers or new instances of Aether being acquired.
  
−
'''NEW FACTION (kinda):''' [[St. Ives Compact|St. Ives]] now starts as a faction on the map to begin with. They will be invaded by the [[Capellan Confederation|Capellans]] fairly quickly after your career starts, so if you want to make friends, you better do it quick. They also won't be around forever and will cease to exist as a faction eventually, so make friends fast! They also can be allied with as originally intended all along, whoops!
+
'''QUIRK ICON UPDATED:''' Easy to Pilot now has the proper icon for a gyro quirk.
  
−
'''NEW MECH:''' The [[Falcon]], an old SLDF 30 ton light bug-hunting mech, has arrived in a flash. You can find it with [[ComStar]] and the [[Factions#Clans|Clans]], as well as mercenaries and rarely the Kuritans.
+
'''HELLO TEXT PROVIDED:''' The Terran Hegemony and the Rim Worlds Republic now have proper greetings for their sub-factions when you face them in combat. Somehow missed this, whoopsie-daisy.
  
−
'''NEW MODEL:''' The [[Bane]] has received a very nice updated model. It's lookin' real sharp!
+
'''LASER HEAT SINK UPDATES:''' The E-Cooling on the Laser Heat Sink Night Gyrs now give -10 heat so that they actually *do* something for the mech. Also, you can now buy LHS at Tywcross (no kits, just the heat sink itself).
  
−
'''COMMUNITY CONTENT:''' A number of new mechs and pilots have been added into the [[Community Content]] option. Included are a [[Roughneck#RGH-GB|Roughneck]], [[Enfield#END-6Z|Enfield]], [[BattleMaster#BLR-GSD|BattleMaster]], [[Stormcrow#SCR-K|Stormcrow]], and two new pilots ([[Kotare - Pilot|Kotare]] and [[Mad Dawg - Pilot|Mad Dawg]]). Go check 'em out!
+
'''SUPERWEAPON FCS EXISTS:''' See the title. Anyone who sells a superweapon also sells the FCS now. Hurrah!
  
−
'''WIKI UPDATE:''' We now have active [[Gear]] pages, meaning pretty much everything you can put on a mech now has its own page on the wiki for your education. Read away!
+
'''COMMUNITY CONTENT:''' There's a bit of new CC in this patch, just a wee bit: a new Nagual named the Wayob and a Marauder II with a HISC Hyper Laser (and the accompanying superweapon hardpoint).
  
−
* The Operation Bullcat Aurigan Invasion April Fools event has been removed.  
+

+

−
* Players are now immediately allied with the "Self-Employed" faction, meaning you get as good salvage as possible on those Darius missions.
+

−
* The [[Fafnir II]] and the [[Mad Cat MK II - 85T|Mad Cat Mk II - 85]] both actually have affinities now.
+
* Adjusted Hellspawn sizing.
−
* The campaign flashpoint mission Treasure Trove, the escape from the SLDF Castle, has been updated. Player mechs are slightly improved, Taurians have been toned down.
+
* Fixed an event in 3061 to properly attack an intended system.
−
* The campaign flashpoint Atlas has been swapped for an [[Atlas#AS7-D-H|Atlas II]], should be better.
+
* Hardwired the Ferro-Lam on the Shieldmaiden.

+

−

+

−
* Now if you lose your Center Torso you are more likely to take pilot injuries, that was broken before and has been fixed.
+
* There's a new introtech Longbow, just for giggles.
−
* [[Ammunition#Mech_Grenade_Launcher|Grenade Launcher Inferno ammo]] has been toned down a bit.
+
* Mini Heat Sink has been changed to the Micro Heat Sink and now does -2 heat instead of -1.
−
* [[WarTech IIC]] should now better respect contract requirements, so no more getting stuck in a flareup contract you can't actually do.
+
* IS MASC is now 3 crits instead of 4.
−
* The [[Weapons#Light_Autocannons|LAC2]] and [[Weapons#Light_Autocannons|LAC5]] have received more heat generated and a slight damage reduction.

−
* A number of new mech variants have been added, the [[Vindicator#VND-1SIC|Vindicator VND-1SIC]], [[Commando#COM-1AK|Commando COM-1AK]], and four primitive Phoenix variants ([[Phoenix#PK-1KC|PK-1KC]], [[Phoenix#PK-1KL|PK-1KL]], [[Phoenix#PK-1KR|PK-1KR]], [[Phoenix#PK-1KT|PK-1KT]]).
+
* The Mech Grenade Launcher has been adjusted to have stronger effects with smaller radii.  
−
* Some core dlls updated.  
+
* Buncha typos and minor bugs were fixed.
  
 +
'''IMPORTANT:''' v18.2 is an "update" update. In this case, clear your Mods folder manually and then run the installer, it'll do the work for you.
  
−
'''IMPORTANT:''' v10.0 is an "update" update. Run the installer again to let it just update your files and you're set to go. The installer auto-updates the CAB and injects Modtek for you.
+
'''IMPORTANT:''' v18.2 is not a save breaking update, your saves are compatible and will work fine.
  
−
'''IMPORTANT:''' You can see v10.0's patch notes, as well as any BTA patch notes, on our wiki on this page: https://www.bta3062.com/index.php/Patch_Notes

Latest revision as of 18:00, 19 December 2024

v18.2 (aka the "Time For Holiday Cheer" patch) has been released to the installer. This patch has a brand new, super cool, feature that has been in production for literally years. Eet excited! I sure am!

WARTECH IIC UPDATED: This is the big ticket item folks, the reason for the season. After several years of discussion, development, and more discussion than you would ever believe, a long-awaited feature for Wartech IIC has finally arrived: Extended Contracts. I'm not going to go excessively in-depth about ECs here in the patch notes but you can read about it more on the wiki here: https://www.bta3062.com/index.php?title=Wartech_IIC

MODTEK UPDATED: ModTek has been updated to version 4.2.2. This is an important update that brings with it some performance increases. Do know that for Linux users it might be a little buggy to get working, we've had mixed results with getting it working. We *should* have it sorted out but there is a chance it won't install properly depending on your installation method, so some fiddling may be required on Linux user's ends.

CRITICAL UPDATE NOTE: Because of the ModTek update, it is absolutely imperative you manually delete your Mods folder before running the installer to update BTAU to v18.2. Be absolutely sure you do this.

SUBSTANTIAL MAP UPDATES: In order to improve performance, we've done some backend changes to the starmap. We've removed a lot of things that were fundamentally unnecessary and took some limited processing power to sort through. Players are unlikely to see the difference visually since we're talking about milliseconds of performance improvements but hey, every bit helps over a long career.

FACTION STORE UPDATES: The Outworlds Alliance now sells all three types of ATM ammo for their Improved MMLs. Clan Snow Raven now sells the proper aidrop contract for an Omen instead of for a Nova Cat Prime as well as also selling two Pulverizer variants.

UPDATED TERRAN HEGEMONY WORLDS: For new careers, the Terran Hegemony will have a slightly modified OpFor roster on their worlds. Instead of Local Gov, you can face Word of Blake. Does not apply to existing careers, only to new ones.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT ADJUSTED: The OpFor specialities that offer discounts in stores have had their values reduced to help curb the possibility of getting profit in their stores.

AETHER UPDATED: At BlueWinds request, Aether has been updated. She now has a new portrait and a new special pilot skill, Speed of Light, that gives increased ground speed but also reduced weapons range at all ranges. Existing instances of Aether in your career will retain her old ability and portrait. This change only applies to new careers or new instances of Aether being acquired.

QUIRK ICON UPDATED: Easy to Pilot now has the proper icon for a gyro quirk.

HELLO TEXT PROVIDED: The Terran Hegemony and the Rim Worlds Republic now have proper greetings for their sub-factions when you face them in combat. Somehow missed this, whoopsie-daisy.

LASER HEAT SINK UPDATES: The E-Cooling on the Laser Heat Sink Night Gyrs now give -10 heat so that they actually *do* something for the mech. Also, you can now buy LHS at Tywcross (no kits, just the heat sink itself).

SUPERWEAPON FCS EXISTS: See the title. Anyone who sells a superweapon also sells the FCS now. Hurrah!

COMMUNITY CONTENT: There's a bit of new CC in this patch, just a wee bit: a new Nagual named the Wayob and a Marauder II with a HISC Hyper Laser (and the accompanying superweapon hardpoint).

  • Default Gyro now does stability damage when destroyed.
  • Adjusted Helepolis hardpoints, mostly expanded them a bit.
  • Updated Anubis hardpoints a bit.
  • ComStar faction store now offers LAM Bombs.
  • Updated UAC/2 and UAC/5 ammo bins to be 30 shots instead of 15.
  • Adjusted Hellspawn sizing.
  • Fixed an event in 3061 to properly attack an intended system.
  • Hardwired the Ferro-Lam on the Shieldmaiden.
  • Fixed Dakota description to no longer reference BA firing ports.
  • Resorted the Super MML to the superweapon category.
  • Wulf's event should no longer fire multiple times.
  • There's a new introtech Longbow, just for giggles.
  • Mini Heat Sink has been changed to the Micro Heat Sink and now does -2 heat instead of -1.
  • IS MASC is now 3 crits instead of 4.
  • The Chevalier is now salvageable.
  • The Mech Grenade Launcher has been adjusted to have stronger effects with smaller radii.
  • Buncha typos and minor bugs were fixed.

IMPORTANT: v18.2 is an "update" update. In this case, clear your Mods folder manually and then run the installer, it'll do the work for you.

IMPORTANT: v18.2 is not a save breaking update, your saves are compatible and will work fine.

REMINDER: This update, and others like it, are made possible by my Patreon and Ko-Fi supporters. Without their support, updates would come slower and be less impactful. If you feel like being a part of the support for BTA, you can find me on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/bloodydoves) and on Ko-Fi (https://ko-fi.com/bloodydoves)

REMINDER: Custom mod commissions are still available if you're interested. If you'd like to get your own community content added to BTA DM me, bloodydoves, and we can work something out.

BTA Light has received the ModTek update and is now on version v18.2.lite.
