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!
  
−
Small v11.1.1 hotfix has gone out. Fixed an issue with Careful Maneuvering, whoops! Now it actually works out of combat like intended. Also corrected some tank pilots who now, properly, cannot drive mechs as intended. Whoops!
+
'''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

−
v11.1 (aka the "This Took Awhil-, Oh An Entire New Skill Tree, I Get It Now" release) has been released to the installer. This patch is largely a feature and bug-fixing patch so let's hop to it. We firmly recommend a new start for this patch, though it is not required, because you can end up fielding more units with this patch on an older save than you should be able to.
 
  
−
'''NEW MECH:''' The [[Fox]], a 50 ton [[Clan Diamond Shark|Diamond Shark]] Golden Century design, has come to BTA. This one's odd, you can only get it from the Diamond Sharks, either if they drop in in a 3-way battle and happen to spawn a Fox *or* more likely you'll have to buy one from them at [[Twycross]]. It's expensive, bring c-bills.
+
'''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.
  
−
'''NEW MECH:''' The [[Legacy/Rising_Star|Legacy]], an 80 ton [[Word of Blake]] assault mech, has arrived. The Word of Blake fields it as well as sells it in their faction store. The Legacy's earlier progenitor, the [[Legacy/Rising_Star#RSR-01|Rising Star]], also is here and is fielded by [[ComStar]] exclusively.
+
'''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.
  
−
'''NEW MECH (kinda):''' The [[BattleMaster#BLR-1G-RC|Red Corsair]], a semi-unique 85 ton assault mech, has arrived. This is a heavily modified Battlemaster used by a Clan "pirate" who modified her ride for maximum effect. Pirates stole the design for realz and put it into limited production. Get it by shooting pirates until they cough it up.
+
'''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.
  
−
'''NEW MODEL:''' The [[Ion]] has changed model to something a little better looking. Still pretty similar but you'll notice the prefab swap if you have an Ion in your mechbay.
+
'''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 BATTLE ARMOR:''' The [[Ravager]] Battle Armor has been released. This Marian BA comes with light weaponry but is pretty tanky for a BA. Get it, as well as a permanent contract for its airdrop, from the [[Marian_Hegemony#Faction_Store_Inventory|Marian Hegemony's]] [[Faction Stores|faction store]].
+
'''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 MECHANIC (kinda):''' Tank pilots have their own [[Skills_and_Abilities#Vehicle_Pilot_Abilities|skill list]] now. Tank pilots and mech pilots have different skill lists, with some crossover skills (such as Multi-Target or Sensor Lock). When you level up a pilot and select a rank 5/8/10 skill, you will see all possible options but only are offered the ones that your pilot qualifies for based on what they can drive. Accordingly, (MV) pilots are more valuable because they get the full selection of skills while (M) and (V) pilots have the restricted ability trees (the only remaining (MV) ronin is the Commander and [[Shade]], all others are either (M) or (V) strictly now). The tank skills have been only lightly tested but should all work alright. If one does not work, please file a ticket so we can see and fix it.
+
'''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 MECHANIC:''' Starting lance sizes have been contracted somewhat. The point was raised, correctly, that the start of BTA is a little too easy. So to counteract this, we've changed things so that now you start with 4 mechs and 1 tank instead of 5 mechs and 2 tanks as well as dropping starting tonnage back to 400. We've added two new drop slot upgrades for players though so you can get back to 8/4 as desired. This does mean old saves can possibly field 9/5 units if they fully upgrade, which isn't really intended but it's an accidental possibility. Because of this, we recommend a new save.
+
'''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 (and edited) DEFAULT SKILLS:'''  
+
'''QUIRK ICON UPDATED:''' Easy to Pilot now has the proper icon for a gyro quirk.
−
*First Aid, the default pilot skill, has been clarified and improved.
 
−
*There is another default pilot skill, Emergency Vent. Emergency Vent consumes your entire turn but dumps 100 heat, for those "I got annihilated by inferno SRMs and have standard heat sinks" moments.
 
−
*Finally, there's a third default pilot skill, though this one is basically only for tanks right now: Careful Maneuvering. This gives you a 1-turn ability to move one hex and ignore terrain and pathing, letting you get unstuck from walls and holes and such.
 
  
−
'''NEW START:''' There's a non-Clan [[Faction Starter Lists#Lights Only]] start now. It's a decent spread of possible light mechs. Enjoy.
+
'''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.
  
−
'''UPDATED START:''' The [[Faction_Starter_Lists#BA_.28Battle_Armor.29|Battle Armor start]] now includes a single light OmniMech, just for laughs. Enjoy getting a [[Strider]] with your BA. :D
+
'''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:''' There's a bunch of new [[Community Content|CC]] with this patch: the [Weapons#Rapid_LRM|Rapid LRM and Improved Rapid LRM]] (mounted on two [[Catapult|Catapults]]) and the [[Weapons#Ultra_LB-X|Clan Ultra LB-5X and Clan Ultra LB-2X]] (mounted on a [[Supernova#SNV-P|Supernova]]).
+
'''SUPERWEAPON FCS EXISTS:''' See the title. Anyone who sells a superweapon also sells the FCS now. Hurrah!
  
−
'''OTHER UPDATES/CHANGES:'''
+
'''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).
−
* Winning a flareup on the star map, either an invasion or a raid, now provides a lootcrate of goodies! Using generic ones right now but more detailed ones will come in time.
 
−
* Gunnery sometimes provides a 15% chance for bonus damage/heat damage/stability damage on attacks, and has for a year+, but now there's floaties over your mech when the effect triggers! Enjoy the bonus damage.
 
−
* There's three new vehicle-only ronin to find and play with: [[Giant - Pilot|Giant]], [[Magestrix - Pilot|Magestrix]], and [[Hestur - Pilot|Hestur]]. Go find 'em!
 
−
* The [[Ontos]] tank has been made playable, find it in stores in the Inner Sphere.
 
−
* The end-of-mission screen now has anything that involved a C-bill cost to the player displaying as a neutral yellow color instead of a red failed color.
 
−
* Tank Panic has been dialed down (all the way to off).
 
−
* [[Null_Signature_System|Null Sig]] and [[ECM]] have had their interaction (such as it was) clarified.
 
−
* Some starts now also include a single light tank, so you can tank it up earlier if you're into that.
 
−
* In the [[Spare_Parts_Crate|starting parts crate]], you no longer get 1 of each airdrop beacon, instead getting one at random.
 
−
* Now destroying one specific [[Battle Armor|BA suit]] will no longer insta-kill the entire squad. Hurrah!
 
−
* [[T.S.M.|TSM/pTSM]] were nerfed, only doing 30% bonus kick/physical weapon damage instead of 50%. Punches are still at +50% though.
 
−
* Smoke ammo is clarified as to what the smoke actually *does*.
 
−
* Darius's pilot, [[XO - Pilot|XO]], and his sibling (you know who he is) now use the DarthDarius voicepack from [[HBFT - Pilot|HBFT]]. Expect dark tidings.
 
−
* Burning forests and burned forests both have updated popup descriptions as to what happens in them. Also, burning forests now deal 25 heat instead of 10.
 
  
−
'''IMPORTANT:''' v11.1 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.
+
* 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.

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.
