A new release of OpenRA is available! Grab it on the downloads page. 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
... [More]
#).
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:
Camoflauged pillbox is back, with the same garrison features of the original pillbox.
The camoflauge 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.
CNC:
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.
Serveral 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 C&C 3).
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.
The next release should be a large one, stay tuned. [Less]
