+
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!
  
−
v12.1 (aka the "Merry New Year and Happy Mechmas!" release) has been released to the installer. This patch is a mixed bag of fixes and updates and new content.  
+
'''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
  
−
'''NEW TANK:''' The [[Main Gauche]], a 30 ton light tank with a [[Weapons#Gauss|Light Gauss Rifle]], is now available. It is fielded by [[Free Worlds League|House Marik]] who can also sell you one if you're into that sort of thing.
+
'''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 TANK:''' The [[Augustus]] and [[Moltke]] tanks have been added, they're heavy tanks with long-range ballistics. They're fielded by House Marik who can also sell you several of the variants. They also have a sweet looking Y shaped turret, it's dope, go check it out.
+
'''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 MECHANIC (kind of):''' The [[Airdrop Beacons#Drone Airdrop Beacon|Drone Deployment Beacon]] has been added to BTA. This works the same way that the other unit deployment beacons do, but this one creates a VTOL, specifically a [[VTOL Drone|drone helicopter]]. The drone has no weapons beyond a [[Weapons#TAG|TAG]] and a [[Weapons#Narc|Narc]]. It also has Sensor Lock and an active probe and is quite fast. The idea is to deploy it and let it support your units with TAG/Narc/sensor lock/BAP. It's a little experimental but it's kinda fun to play with and it's a nice little support unit. The Drone Deployment Beacon has been added to stores and the beacon-specific background option at character creation (Sharp Negotiating). Additionally, [[Airdrop Beacons|beacons]] have been made somewhat more common (they're now guaranteed in the black market and on Electronics worlds).
+
'''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 ITEM:''' The [[B-Pod]] has arrived. Properly called the Anti-Battle Armor Explosive Pod, the B-Pod attaches to a mech's legs and can be detonated to blast swarming battle armor for a ton of damage (divided among the squad's members). Ever got swarmed and wanted to just delete them? Now you can. Oh, the B-Pod does literally nothing to anything else, FYI. Also the A-Pod got a minor overhaul. Both pods now show up in stores, have fun with them.  
+
'''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 ITEM:''' There are now [[Quad Front Leg Jump Jets|Quad-specific Heavy Front Arm Jump Jets]] in stores. These go in the front arms on quads only. They do not work for non-quad mechs. If you want to be symmetrical with your quad JJs, this is your moment!
+
'''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 AMMUNITION:''' SRMs now have [[Ammunition#MMagPulse ammunition. MagPulse ammo applies a stacking 1 turn accuracy debuff, up to -4 for 1 turn. Find it in stores like other ammo.
+
'''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.  
  
−
'''NEW ICONS:''' Fire tiles now have a neat fire icon. Radiation/Fallout tiles now have a little radiation icon. Smoke's effect is now the smoke icon. Acid effects (SRM/Mortar Acid, Disintegrating pulse lasers) now have a little acid icon. Mortar suppressant ammo has a fire extinguisher icon.
+
'''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 PILOT SKILL (kind of):''' At Piloting 6, there's now a bonus for tank pilots that increases their flank speed (basically, tank sprint movement) by 15%. This works the same way that the mech sprint bonus at Piloting 7 works: it's just a minor passive buff for all pilots.
+
'''QUIRK ICON UPDATED:''' Easy to Pilot now has the proper icon for a gyro quirk.
  
−
'''NEW TANK:''' The [[Mobile HQ]] has become playable. The playable Mobile HQ also has +resolve equipment and has the Strafing Run, BA Airdrop Beacon, and Turret Airdrop Beacon for maximum tactical flexibility on the field. It's purchasable in Inner Sphere stores randomly alongside general heavy tanks.
+
'''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.
  
−
'''COMMUNITY CONTENT:''' A bunch of new [[Community Content|CC]] happened for this patch, including the [[Weapons#Binary Heavy Laser|Binary Heavy Laser]], the [[Paladin Prototype Defense System|Paladin Superheavy Artillery Tank]] (found in the [[Federated_Suns#Faction_Store_Inventory|Davion faction store]]), the [[Omega#SHP-X1|Omega SHP-X1]] and its [[Weapons#Silver-Bullet Hyper-Assault/10 Gauss Rifle|Silver-Bullet Hyper-Assault/10 Gauss Rifle]], and the [[Weapons#Super MML|Super MML]]. [[Mack's Dustball]] now has its store correctly and has all the new weapons from this release.
+
'''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).
  
−
* [[Quad Mech Gyro]] got a little buff, now increases kick damage and accuracy for quads.
+
'''SUPERWEAPON FCS EXISTS:''' See the title. Anyone who sells a superweapon also sells the FCS now. Hurrah!
−
* Multi-Target no longer has a 1 turn cooldown and is exempted from existing cooldown timers (so you can do something like use Phantom and Multi-Target in the same turn now).
 
−
* [[Battle Armor]] mounting/dismounting no longer has a cooldown.
 
−
* The [[Ammunition#SRM|Acid SRM]] was not applying its damage penalty properly, now it has the -4 damage penalty to the actual acid SRM itself properly. The acid effect is unchanged.
 
−
* [[Preta|Pretas]] did not have the [[OmniMech Gyro|Omni Gyro]], that's been corrected.
 
−
* SizeMatters tonnage cap was fixed, it now caps correctly at 100 tons. Turns out it just didn't work before, whoops!
 
−
* The [[Ontos| Ontos Mk II]] has been reduced in size a little.
 
−
* The [[Hauptmann#HA1-PRIME|Hauptmann Prime]] parts in the [[Lyran_Commonwealth#Faction_Store_Inventory|Steiner faction store]] now costs a reasonable amount.
 
−
* The [[Falcon]] had the incorrect max head armor amounts, which has now been corrected.
 
−
* Piercing AC ammos have had their descriptions updated.
 
−
* The hero [[Mech Quirks|quirk]] no longer duplicates, but it instead takes the lower Life Support slot. Existing mechs with the hero quirk will need stored and re-readied to get it to update properly.
 
−
* Battle Armor weapons now are listed in faction stores. Basically, if a faction sells a BA suit, it also sells that suits guns in their faction store so you can easily get more weapons. Enjoy the BA.
 
−
* Jam chance skills should be applying correctly now (you will need to reskill if you already have them, they will not apply retroactively).
 
−
* Fixed [[Gyro_Defense#Gyro_Defense_.2B_.2B|Sparrow Gyro]] description.
 
−
* Added the [[Alsvin]] and [[Vargr]] APCs to the [[Faction_Starter_Lists#BA_.28Battle_Armor.29|APC starting list]] and to shops. More APC options!
 
−
* Added the [[Corsair (75T)|Corsair COR-4R]], fielded by the Pirates like the other Corsairs. Also, it's on the [[Faction_Starter_Lists#Pirate|Pirate starting list]], very rarely.
 
−
* Added some warning text to the [[BTA_Calling|BTA Showdown]] and to Kringle's Krushers to not take tanks with.
 
−
* Gear with areas of effect now have bonusd escriptions clarifying their radius (covers active probes, AMS, Ambient Targeter, and C3 systems).
 
−
* Lots of typo fixes and dll updates.
 
  
−
'''IMPORTANT:''' v12.1 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.
+
'''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).
  
−
'''IMPORTANT:''' v12.1 is not a save breaking update, your saves are compatible and will work fine.
+
* 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.
