General
- New: Map Mode Restrictions
- Map makers can now configure maps to only load in specific modes. If for instance a map is only designed to be played in Full Authentic or Legends, the following can be set in the .siege file:
MBModesAllowed "2 4". If the server is not running one of those modes when changing map it will automatically change to the first in the list (in this example, Full Authentic). - The server's configured g_Authenticity (as set at startup or when changed by the mbmode command) is remembered and will be restored if the server changes to a map without an override mode.
- Map makers can now configure maps to only load in specific modes. If for instance a map is only designed to be played in Full Authentic or Legends, the following can be set in the .siege file:
- Change: Effect Loading
- The total number of effects loaded at once has been moderately to significantly reduced, depending on user settings, game mode, map, and full authentic teams. This is intended to address effect loading issues with large total conversion FAs, including Legends, and provide space for planned future additions to the mod.
- Modification of Enhanced Effects
cg_enhancedEffectsor Grenade Glowcg_thermalTrailssettings will now only take effect the next time the renderer is reloaded (loading a map or usingvid_restart). - If 255 effects are registered (the limit for JAMP and unmodified engines) a warning will be printed to the console.
- Change / Fix: Corrected problems with many Open mode / core game effects:
- Cortosis saber hit effects use colors similar to the color of the lightsaber again, as they did before v1.1.
- Magnetic Plating's hit effect visuals now work, and are also used when hit by clone pistols and rifles (previously used lightsaber deflect effect).
- Several effects related to Deka, SBD, and gore are now properly precached in Open mode.
- Wrist Laser effects are now precached, and other effects that were registered late (e.g. jetpack) are done earlier to prevent complex FAs accidentally breaking them.
- Fixed path to Droideka death effect and restored Discharge's electrical effect (purely cosmetic - still no self-stun since the change in V1.8).
- Restored enhanced versions of jetpack thrust effects.
- New / Change / Fix: Map Entities
- emplaced_gun
- Shot effect no longer 'random' for users other than client 0.
- Death warning flash, explosion effect, and post-death damage texture now work properly.
- Damage is now properly attributed.
- misc_siege_item
- Added a spawn flag (16) which permits use of jetpack and grapple hook while carrying the siege item.
- trigger_push
- Can now set a team key so only that team is pushed.
- Linear spawn flag allows setting a custom speed (previously was always 1000).
- trigger_hurt
- No longer damages NPCs with matching team.
- emplaced_gun
Gameplay
- Change: On CTF maps with protected spawn areas covered by nodrop, spawn bubble protection time is 3x longer (9 seconds).
- Change / Fix: Improved collision for non-deka ground vehicles (walkers, swoops, and animals) by using configured vehicle length.
- Fix: Jetpack rockets no longer vanish permanently after their first use on CTF maps and will display again on respawn.
- Fix: Potentially fixed rare instances where CTF respawn timers could become abnormally long.
- Fix: Resolved prediction error when running into steep slopes (caused moderate to severe camera jitter depending on ping).
UI
- New: Added a warning popup at the main menu if client is using GLDirect software rendering.
- Change: On CTF maps, dead players are now indicated in the scoreboard and their respawn timer shown in the lives column to players on the same team.
Full Authentic
- New: FA for all Imperial era CTF maps. (SDestroyer, Backstreets, Imperial, Yavin)
- New: FA for mb2_ctf_backstreets
- New: FA for mb2_ctf_tusken
- New: FA for mb2_tatooine
- New: FA for mb2_SDestroyer
- New: FA 'Customize' Menu
- FA creators can now create 'variants' of skin and saber for each FA character.
- The lines within the .mbch should look like this example and be placed within CharacterInfo:
model_# "nameofmodel" skin_# "nameofskin" uishader_# "models/players/example/directory/here" - For saber variants:
saber_# "nameof.sab" sabercolor_# # - This menu will hide if no variants are available.
- FA creators can now create 'variants' of skin and saber for each FA character.
- New / Change / Fix: Grapple Hook
- More natural swinging movement. Possible to build some momentum by swinging back and forth. When ascending grapple (holding jump) users will still experience swinging motion (no more floating in a straight line).
- Added firing and hit sounds.
- Can initiate acrobatic jumps (flip kicks and side wall runs) while grapple swinging if player meets normal prerequisites.
- Fall damage after releasing a grapple mid-air will be the same as intentionally jumping from that height.
- Grapple movement acceleration scales up with force jump level 2 and 3. Ascending grapple (holding jump) pauses FP regen, but otherwise FP regen is allowed even if jumping previously.
- Clone and ARC troopers consume stamina while using grapple hook levels < 4 and grapple line breaks if stamina is depleted.
MB_ATT_GRAPPLE_HOOKnow has levels:- Level 1: Max length 720 units. 3 second cooldown on hit. Ascending consumes 30 stamina per second (Clone and ARC only).
- Level 2: Max length 1320 units. 1.8 second cooldown on hit. Ascending consumes 20 stamina per second (Clone and ARC only).
- Level 3: Max length 2520 units. 0.6 second cooldown. Ascending consumes 10 stamina per second (Clone and ARC only).
- Level 4: Max length 9600 units. 0.3 second cooldown. Can pull down enemies and has different fire animation, sound, and graphics.
- Grapple line now breaks if obstructed by map geometry for more than a second or if max length is exceeded.
- Reduced minimum grapple firing distance.
- Increased cooldown time after successfully pulling an enemy by half a second (3 seconds total).
- Siege items prevent using grapple hook by default and flags are now dropped if swinging.
- Should generally be more stable (known issues with getting stuck / thrown into the void / crashing are fixed).
- New: FP multipliers for weapons in FA (to be put within WeaponInfo):
FPMult- FP Multiplier, ignores FPBlockMaxMult / FPNoBlockMinMult / FPNoBlockMaxMult / FPChargeShotMulFPChargeMult- Charge weapon FP multiplierFPBlockMinMult- Minimum FP Damage possibleFPBlockMaxMult- Maximum FP Damage possibleFPNoBlockMinMult- Minimum FP Damage possible when not blockingFPNoBlockMaxMult- Maximum FP Damage possible when not blocking

CFL_WFLAMETHROWERdamage multiplier lowered from 4x to 3x. - Change / Fix: E-Web deployable item uses more authentic red shot effects, and corrected death explosion effect.
- Change / Fix: Missile overrides for WP_BRYAR_PISTOL required both MissileEffect and PowerupShotEffect be set for either to work. Now will use whatever is set and fallback to the default if missing.
- Fix: Jetpack override
jetpackFinishSoundnow works. - Fix: Flipkick now properly damages enemies (even those with Strength 1-3), also applies a percentage of knockdown depending on what level is set to the attribute - 30%/60%/90%.
- Fix: Overrides for WP_BRYAR_OLD (Westar Pistol) are now applied.
- Fix: Corrected reversed primary/alt missile overrides for WP_BOWCASTER.
- Fix: Corrected reversed primary/alt for humanoid/droid hit effect overrides, and they will now be used as fallback if PrimGore/AltGore are set for the weapon but the damaged entity has no gore config.
- Fix: If a weapon override does not specify custom player hit effects, the default for the weapon will be used as a fallback.
- Fix: Dual hitscan pistols will now show tracer effects for both pistols.
- Fix: Saberthrow now hidden from force power select and FP regen paused while performing a controlled / long distance throw.
- Fix: Weapon flag HELD_ALTRELOAD can now override the reload animation for WP_REPEATER.
- Fix: Hilts that have
noManualDeactivateset (like vibroblades) will start on when switched to instead of needing to attack or defend to activate. - Fix: Regeneration bounding for
MB_ATT_SHIELD_RECHARGEnow works properly even with high max shield values. - Remove: Some legacy weapon effect override keys (fleshImpact, droidImpact, and wallImpact) are now fully removed.
