Vikingr Version 0.80 BETA - 11.04.05


Changes
- Audio values have been tweaked (longer distance on battle sounds, horse hooves louder and have gotten higher priority).
- Spears rebalanced.
- All high-tier armours have had their armour values reduced. This should make battles favour the winning team less. Some ranged weapon damage values have been reduced to compensate.
- Several maps in different gamemodes updated/tweaked.
- All doors now open from both sides for defenders in Siege gamemode.
- Some scripts optimized and improved.
- Throwing weapons have been removed for some classed to recude the total ammount of them on the battlefield. Price also increased slightly.
- Some "draw weapon" animations have had their duration tweaked.
- Health points on all horses increased by a tiny bit.

Additions
- Raid gamemode has had an overhaul. It now features 'Reinforcement waves'. Defenders must defend until time runs out! Many maps changed to fit the new features. This hasn't had much testing, some bugs and balance issues are to be expected.
- Siege: Defenders can now pick up Stones or Boulders to hurl at their enemies below for a small fee. Look for small rock piles.
- Four new Siege maps: 'Norman Keep' by Comrade Temuzu, 'Small Motte & Bailey', 'The Siege of Paris' and 'Nonnebakken'.
- Two new Battle maps: 'Romenel' by Moeckerkalfie and 'Avebury' by Harmast.
- A new CTF and Deathmatch map: 'Workshop' by Comrade Temuzu.
- Two new maps intended for Holmgang-style duels: 'Forest Holmgang' by ComingWinter and 'Coastal Holmgang'.
- All Holmgang maps now feature shield-spawning chests. These spawn three different shields each, that you can pick up and drop on the ground.
- New original main menu art by skvor.
- Three new Rus Mail Shirts. Replaces the old one.
- All factions now have two coulour variations of hoods! Some also come with helmets. Made by Mandible.
- New Woolen Cap texture by Mandible.
- New Saxon Tunic by Zimke.
- 21 new Norman Kite Shields.
- Four new painted Norman helmets - three Segmented Helmet and one Faceplate Helmet variation.
- Two new mace models by Raegenhere.
- 11 New Rus kite shields by Raegenhere.
- Three high-damage blunt sounds from the WCVShybrid sound pack.
- Four new Rus taunts voiced by Martinoff.
- New fog and snow smoke effects. The props start with a "prtsys_" prefix.
- New usable 'teleportation' door props (featured only on Norman Keep right now). Place two of the same type to make a player move from one to the other when one of them is activated. They have a "TELEPORT_" prefix.
- Several new scene backgrounds from Expanded Horizons.
- Decapitations made more dramatic - heads dropping on the ground!


Tons of other minor tweaks and fixes.

Sidenote: We have added quite a few nicities in regards to the graphics of the game. This is mostly in the snow and fog settings; if you encounter any notable performance losses, tell us.
 
And if you're wondering why the changelog dosn't mention the knocked-off horseback script we've been talking about earlier; a major bug was discovered and a fix couldn't be found quickly. We'll see if we can fix it for future versions though.

And also; ENJOY :grin:
 
Dang and bloody blast it! I'm swamped with a lot of things and have training with OLL tonight! You evil fiends! >:C



OOooooh you've been working on the knock-off-horse thing. Probably the one gaunt was talking about in the suggestion thread, or?
 
Whoohoo, I really like the new cloths and new maces :grin:
Also like the improvement of faster weapon switch, though I havent noticed it yet myself.
 
If you're getting any major performance hits walking through the new fog effects, try turning off Anti-Aliasing (AA) or forcing another - cheaper - AA sampling type (like Multisampling) through your graphics drivers. If that does not help you can always turn off particle effects.
 
The new Raid mode sounds sweet, and IMHO, a very good move in the right direction.

The boulders in siege also sound pretty sick!

Great job once again lads. KUTGW!
 
I love most of the changes. i just cant play the night maps due to it beign so dark and all i see are the friendly banners.

Took my by supprise to fidn spears are now so drasticaly changed. all but the short one beign unbalanced really knocked me off, and the complete inability to block with the longspear got me killed alot.

Was only upset to see that still no female mesh for the rus cloth armous along with the norman chain armours they are the only ones with no female mesh to my knowledge and it makes us girls look like he/she...things (not including berserker, that would be scary with a female mesh)
