New Version of OpenRA Released

[Sonic 295]

A brand new version of OpenRA, the open source reimplementation of Westwood's original Red Alert, has been released. Looks like a big update this time, including early support for Dune 2000. The changes have been listed below.

 

 

Both Mods:

• Added a server banlist setting (e.g. Server: Ban: IP1,IP2,IP3).
  
• Comments can be placed at the end of lines in YAML files (comments are prefixed with #).
  
• Improved error handling for multiple definitions of the same field in YAML files.
  
• (Gameplay) Missiles lose guidance and run out their remaining fuel if the target dies.
  

RA:

• Camouflaged pillbox is back, with the same garrison features of the original pillbox.
  
  • The camouflage effect requires power - the unit inside the structure will still attack even if power is low.
    

  [*]Added a setting to disable the CashTick sound played when producing structures and units. Setting can be set to Extreme (default), Normal, or Off.

  [*]Minor AI improvements.

C&C:

• Exposed the option to toggle the shellmap.
  
• MRLS cost increased from 800 to 1200.
  
• APC's gun damage was increased, to be a bit more effective against helis.
  
• Several buildings had hitpoints modified. Construction Yard, Airfield, Weapons Factory and Advanced Powerplant all received a bonus to their armor, while defensive walls received a reduction of health.
  
• Several units had movement speed adjusted. Notably the Nod Buggy, Recon Bike and Humvee all received a boost, and Medium Tank was slightly slowed.
  
• Landed helicopters were made targetable by units.
  
• Production hotkeys changed from YUIOP to QWERT (a la RA2).
  
• Mammoth Tank has an 8-sec cooldown for heal (like RA).
  

Bug Fixes:

• Spy entering radar dome will no longer reset GPS if up.
  
• Players cannot attempt to capture buildings if that same player (or friendly ally) is already capturing.
  
• Barrels are no longer capturable/sellable.
