Hello everyone!
I am finally coming with an update after two months of work. And there's a LOT that changed!
My main focus for this update was the AI bots. In singleplayer they are fine, but they never worked with more players in multiplayer. Because of this, i started from scratch and made a much better AI that actually plays like a player and works in matches. Please playtest these so I can start fixing them.
(the AI will improve over time, for now it's not 100% complete.)
Some new movement/gunplay changes:
About the gunplay, I completely removed movement inaccuracy when aiming down sights. It was just annoying so I got rid of it.
Also, i fixed you losing speed everytime you landed from a jump.
I now added visual recoil for some high caliber weapons.
Here are some balance weapon changes:
KA-74
+ visual recoil
- has a new, less random recoil pattern
Model 4
- recoil reduced, but made more random
L80
- recoil increased slightly
AS-BAU
- recoil now goes straight up without any randomness
M90
++ visual recoil
- recoil greatly increased
AVB
- recoil decreased
.45 SMG
- recoil greatly reduced
+ visual recoil
HR 74
- damage increased slightly
The Eagle
- recoil greatly reduced
++ visual recoil
P-9
- recoil increased, but less random
New additions:
- When there's enough players for a match, a countdown will start.
Players are unable to move or shoot until it counts down. Then, the match starts
and music plays (the music will 100% change, for now it's some no-copyright song
but later it will be OST)
Changes:
- Support helo now is 1st person instead of 3rd, and shoots differently.
However, it still isn't fully compatible with multiplayer, so it won't be
fully available until it is. (same with the AC-130)
- The max player count for a multiplayer match is now 2, because for some
reason the server crashes everytime a 3rd player joins. Until then, feel free to
play with bots + someone else.
Please give me feedback on this update! After this there will probably be a smaller patch to fix some bugs and stuff, and after that there will be more large updates!
Have a nice day and have fun playing Rifle Strike!
